I outlined in my written remarks all the countries we are dealing with, so I won't go back into those. That's a trade negotiation agenda that will probably take two years even if we were extremely effective and successful in executing it. But those are all markets where we've gone through consultation with Canadian industry, and industry has identified those markets.
A good example would be some of the Central American markets, where the Americans have a free trade agreement with the Central American four, plus the Dominican Republic. Well, all of a sudden, Canadian companies that were selling into those markets are finding themselves at a competitive disadvantage because the American producers are now getting preferred access to the markets. Those are issues we're trying to deal with.
I didn't mention the gulf cooperation states. I was over to the Middle East, and members of this committee were over there recently. There are enormous opportunities in the gulf states. If you look at the United Arab Emirates, if you look at Kuwait, and to some degree Saudi Arabia, there are huge opportunities there, and there's a very positive view of Canada and Canadian companies there. It's not just the regulars that are always there—the Bombardiers and SNCs. You have Cirque du Soleil now as a permanent fixture in Dubai.
So you're getting cultural industries and just tremendous opportunities there to export high-end, high-quality Canadian services and goods, and educational opportunities for universities.
If you look around North Africa, there are other opportunities, potentially—Algeria, and Libya. Depending on the circumstances, there can be some real opportunities for Canadian agriculture, for example.
And Vietnam is a coming market. It has huge rates of growth, huge potential, and it's a market where Canada and other competitors have not gone in such a way that we would be starting from far behind. The opportunities are huge, and it covers a range of sectors.
Canadian agriculture and agrifood has massive global trade opportunities as we get into niche products and high-quality products—Atlantic seafood, western seafood, the same thing.
