I think it's quite remarkable. I don't think Canada has seen a moment like we see now in terms of the interest in what Canada has to offer across a number of sectors, particularly in natural resources and the oil and gas sector.
In our own dealings as an export credit agency, we have 26 offices abroad. We're in constant dialogue, both with our colleagues and with international corporates out of Asia and Europe. In fact, I just came off a panel talking with the German ambassador, and I would say that I see an extraordinary range of interest in Canada's natural gas.
I know from my recent discussion with the German ambassador that there is a lot of interest from German corporates in engaging as more of a coalition to think about the options for moving natural gas up through Churchill and potentially having an option that way too. I believe there are discussions going on with the Manitoba government on that opportunity, although they don't include EDC.
As I said, we have a fairly significant presence in Asia in the discussions with Japan and Korea. Obviously, there have also been others outside of our realm with other countries as well, but those are the main ones where we've seen significant interest.
I would say that this is important to us, because those are countries where we want to see collaboration on a much deeper level, not just about purchase offtake. Often their export credit agencies come in and invest alongside EDC in financing the build-out of those projects. As well, often some of those international corporates are co-investors in the project, alongside Canadian investors.
That is a discussion we have under way in some of the discussions we have more broadly with international groups with whom we're working on a number of files. Of course, the main negotiations aren't done with us—they are done with Natural Resources Canada—but from the point of view of how the financing can come together, we are very much involved in working with those respective nations' credit agencies.
