Mr. Speaker, I think it is quite important to understand the role of the Canada account. It can take the form of insurance, guarantees or financing. There is nothing new here. Canada has been using the Canada account for more than 30 years.
Virtually every other OECD country does the same thing to help their exporters on distorted markets. The United States, for example, has a $500 million war chest that it uses to help its firms match financing. Every other country does exactly the same.
