Yes, including some in Europe, and some in Canada, and some elsewhere.
I guess our priority is trying to be on a level playing field around the world in various markets. For instance, we're very much hoping that the free trade agreement with India will go someplace. As I said earlier, we've been growing our resources there. Also, the Prime Minister talked this weekend about joining the Trans-Pacific Partnership, which I think is really important, because otherwise we are going to get left behind as the other countries around the Pacific lower their trade barriers. In some cases there are tariffs, and certainly a lot of discrimination against foreign companies coming in.
Our priority is having unimpeded access so we can go bid and work in as many markets around the world as we can. We're pretty good at that. We're facing stiff competition these days from all sorts of places. Competitors from France, Spain, and the U.K. are very important in the markets we work in. We hear about India and China as well, but our European competitors are pretty strong too. It's sometimes hard, despite the 3,000 people we have working in Europe, to get treated as a European company. We've seen that in Spain. We've seen it in France, for reasons that you can understand.
One of the things I would say about the benefits of investments for local development is that our experience around the world, wherever we go, is that for competitive reasons as much as anything else, we work with local people, with local goods and services suppliers. If we tried to take Canadians everywhere, it wouldn't work. We couldn't be competitive. We even go to the extent of training thousands of industrial workers and local suppliers, which we are doing right now in Madagascar, and have done in South Africa and Mozambique. It's a standard way of proceeding. We work with local people. There are strong local development efforts. In Europe, we haven't been involved in this kind of training because there are lots of local skills there.
