We're actually the second Canadian company to sign a deal with Korea Electric Power Corporation. Another Canadian company signed a similar deal a few months prior, and I believe others will come as a result of the doors that are opening.
One of the attractions is to bring back some capital into the country from foreign sources that are benefiting from selling their goods and services to us. Getting that capital back and reinvesting it in our Canadian business is a significant benefit for us. I think we are just the first wave of mining companies that are going to benefit from this.
Some of the major companies, not just in Korea but also in Japan and China, as I mentioned earlier, are looking at opportunities in Canada in a bigger way. As we know, right now we have a bit of a dichotomy in the industry in Canada. We have the manufacturing sector and we have the resource sector, and while we're losing on the manufacturing sector, we've been picking up on the resource sector.
That's where the balance is coming from right now. In the oil and gas, energy, and related fields, certainly the opportunity is for us to take advantage of additional deals with Korea.
Some of the consortium members, as part of the group that came in on this investment, have expressed a keen interest in expanding their role in Canada by opening offices, spending money, and developing other projects in Canada on top of what we've already initiated. I think this is an opportunity we will see expanding as we move forward.
