Mr. Speaker, we have six agreements in place at this time, with Namibia, Serbia, Poland, Hong Kong, Luxembourg and Switzerland. Each of these is a bilateral agreement that has been established for multilateralists, as some of our colleagues opposite have referred to this evening. The goal is to enhance the quality of business in Canada for small businesses and to ensure that we grow our economy and investments.
The member opposite asked about China. Clearly the FIPA is designed to protect the parties on both sides of that agreement, in Canada and in China, and protect Canadian businesspeople doing business in China. It is new. We are hoping to have it completed shortly, but the reality is that it is designed to provide protection by Canadians for Canadians in their dealings overseas.
