I'll start with the insurance. It certainly has been one of the stronger ones. We've had some strong Canadian investment overseas in recent years, so it's one of the stronger-moving series. I think we have some fairly strong companies in that area of foreign direct investment in both directions. In general, the financial sector happens to be one of the most active in foreign direct investment in and out of Canada, but particularly on the outward side. It's an important area that we've seen growing.
Before I turn it to some of my colleagues, we don't have any data on provincial aspects of FDI. I could explain that quickly. Foreign direct investment is really ultimately a balance sheet measure; the basis is from the balance sheet. At the legal entity, balance sheets tend to be at the corporate level. The problem is that we can have an enterprise that has establishments in many different provinces, but they only have one balance sheet in Canada, so there is no real systematic way to decide whether this foreign direct is going to one province or another. It would be very arbitrary, and that causes all kinds of problems.
We're looking at possibilities of coming up with other measures, though: globalization measures that may be able to address some of those issues by identifying whether certain investments are being made by foreign-controlling companies, Canadian-controlling multinationals, or Canadian companies that just operate in Canada. This is a new program we're looking at. It may help answer the same questions as I think you're trying to look at with the question on provincial data.
As to the employment and the bilaterals, possibly I could let my colleagues from DFAIT attempt those ones.
