I could give an example. Let's say it's a Canadian engineering firm that's looking at a big opportunity in Panama. If it doesn't have the same investment protections that a firm from the U.S., the EU, or another country has, then they're going to have to pay for some sort of political risk insurance somewhere. That would make things a bit more expensive. It might be the thing that tips the balance to not wanting to go for that opportunity. It's just a cost.
