I am thinking of Canada and the Asia-Pacific region but I am also thinking of Canada and Brazil. You will no doubt say that these countries have nothing in common. I mean for the time being, Brazil cannot trade with Canada or receive major Canadian investments because it lacks the infrastructure required for all of these new forms of trade.
Does the Asia-Pacific region have the required infrastructure? Is it actually ready to received massive investments?
On the other hand, did we sign any human rights agreements? Our companies may pollute these places or may want to use local labour. Were any agreements signed in that regard?
