In recent weeks, my chair and I were in Southeast Asia on a trade mission with the Minister of Agriculture, and these markets are tying food security to food availability in a much more direct way. If you look at a market like Indonesia or Singapore or the Philippines, their production capacity isn't sufficient to produce enough food to meet their own market demand, so they require access, frankly, to Canadian pork, among other commodities.
When we talk about foreign direct investment, it's not that the foreign direct investment is required from a capital perspective in Canada. It is about building that linkage to a market like the Philippines, where there may well be a company interested in ensuring access to that product. The Filipino company's investment may well be tied to having access to the Canadian product and therefore having a preferential treatment for the Philippines market. That's really what we're talking about in terms of that kind of foreign direct investment.
We're not really seeking companies overall to come invest in Canada, but it is about targeting specific markets around the world where they would want more of our product in any case. Let's help them find ways of including that as a defence and food security question.
