"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"4000772\" data-originallang=\"en\">AdvantageBC is a non-government body. It's a not-for-profit. We receive no government funding. We're funded by our members who are primarily operating in the financial services sector in British Columbia.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4000773\" data-originallang=\"en\">I think we have to be sensitive to what the market needs. The success of a Canadian RMB hub is not going to be driven by governments. It is not going to be driven by an organization like AdvantageBC. It's going to be driven by the marketplace and by the private sector. As corporations throughout the Americas see that there is a price advantage, a cost advantage, a profit advantage, they will be more attracted to bringing their financial service activity to Canada. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4000774\" data-originallang=\"en\">I think part of that is the strength that Canada has in our financial services sector. As I said earlier, I don't think we do enough to promote that. We need to go out and market Canada, certainly to the Americas, to really take full advantage of this opportunity.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"4000772\" data-originallang=\"en\">AdvantageBC est un organisme non gouvernemental \u00e0 but non lucratif. Nous ne recevons aucun financement du gouvernement; notre financement provient de nos membres, qui oeuvrent en majorit\u00e9 dans le secteur des services financiers de la Colombie-Britannique.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4000773\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je pense qu'il faut \u00eatre attentif aux besoins du march\u00e9. La r\u00e9ussite d'une plateforme canadienne d'\u00e9change du renminbi ne sera pas favoris\u00e9e par les gouvernements, ni par un organisme comme AdvantageBC, mais plut\u00f4t par le march\u00e9 et le secteur priv\u00e9. Lorsque les entreprises des Am\u00e9riques verront que cela repr\u00e9sente un avantage sur le plan des prix, des co\u00fbts et des profits, elles seront plus enclines \u00e0 implanter leurs activit\u00e9s li\u00e9es aux services financiers au Canada.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4000774\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je pense que c'est en partie attribuable \u00e0 la solidit\u00e9 du secteur canadien des services financiers. Comme je l'ai indiqu\u00e9 plus t\u00f4t, je ne pense pas que nous ayons fait suffisamment d'efforts pour le faire savoir. Si nous voulons tirer pleinement parti de cette occasion, nous devons nous manifester et promouvoir le Canada, \u00e0 tout le moins dans les Am\u00e9riques.</p>"
