First of all, it's the start of a full integration process in many, many ways, including security matters. That is very important because there is a security element in the alliance of the Pacific regarding all these threats we have in common. Terrorists, narco-traffic, etc. That is one of the important matters. We have to consider more than trade, education, or the environment. We have to have the framework to talk more openly with Canada on all these matters that affect our hemisphere.
For me, I would say, it is music to my ears to hear that Canada wants to be involved in the hemisphere, wants to be more involved in the Americas, especially in Latin America, and particularly in South America, because we work for that. I have to say that in my three years here I see the political decision to move in this direction. Canada is really interested in South America, in the problems of South America and the solutions of the problems in South America. Right now for us, it's easy to work with Canada. I have to say you have a wonderful embassy in Lima—wonderful for the cooperation, for the EDC, for the democratic office that you have to strengthen democracy in Latin America. We are working with the CCC. We are working with all the agencies of the Canadian government right now.
Also, Canada is working for our benefit. We just signed an agreement on defence, an MOU, one month ago. It means that for us the immediate reaction is not going to be an accountability. It's going to be a political decision that is going to be very important for us, because the support of Canada in this kind of process is an accomplishment.
