I would say with all respect, but trying to be as precise as possible, that it is useless. It doesn't really help. I don't really see the point in economic terms. It provides increased levels of certainty for investors but the biggest investor from Canada in Honduras is in a free trade zone so it is already under a totally different set of rules.
