Is the presence of Canadian companies in Panama important? Yes, it is.
We had a most important company, Hydro-Québec, and they had lots of profits. But they had to leave on orders from the Province of Quebec. That was very sad for us. When the energy sector was privatized in Panama, Hydro-Québec was a very important company when it came to the privatization of that sector. One year ago, Hydro-Québec had to remove all its foreign investments on orders from the Government of Quebec. It sold all the investments. But for 10 or 12 years, Hydro-Québec was a very dynamic and important Canadian company in Panama.
Scotiabank is one of the most important banks in Panama. We in fact need a lot more Canadian investment in Panama--definitely. I think the most important Canadian investment is from the retirees. We have lots of Canadian pensioners in Panama, and they are investing in real estate.
