Concerning your first two questions, I can't speak to all of the agreements that we have with the other Mercosur countries, but if you would like some of that additional information, we can certainly provide it.
In our area, the key agreement we look to is a foreign investment protection agreement. We have one with Uruguay, we have one with Argentina, and we are currently in discussions with Paraguay, at their request. This is an important building block for us in the kind of work we do. We're certainly aware that there are other economic and commercial relationships with each of those countries, with companies active there. Especially since the crash in the early 2000s, in 2001 and 2002, we have increased our economic relationships with them. Again, we can provide more information on the kind of economic agreements we have with the other three Mercosur countries.
As for the value chains, absolutely, they are a key focus for us. This is what we hear from business increasingly: it's not just about a market, but about a value chain. We want to make things together with companies from that country, as we do with companies from the United States. So this is very much an area that we would be looking to.
Like Canada, these countries are rich in natural resources. They too want to build things, so we think this is an area in which we will have a mutual interest in building these value chains together. That's where business is going, and that's where we would like to go with these potential partners.
