"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"889699\" data-originallang=\"en\">Very integrated. It's as if there's no border whatsoever in that fundamental production sense. So it wouldn't be a fair comparison to look at that--Canada's relationship with the United States--and then ask, well, how come we're so much more dependent on the United States than, let's say, Italy is dependent on France, or something like that, because they don't have that same kind of degree of integration. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"889700\" data-originallang=\"en\">That's all to say that services are more diverse, and that's just by the nature of the business. They don't cost anything to move. Often you have to be in place to deliver. Often services are delivered by investing in a foreign country. SNC-Lavalin is located all around the world. It's not just showing up in a suitcase.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"889699\" data-originallang=\"en\">Une industrie tr\u00e8s int\u00e9gr\u00e9e. C'est comme s'il n'y avait pas de fronti\u00e8re du point de vue de la production. La comparaison ne serait donc pas juste \u2014 s'il fallait \u00e9tudier la relation entre le Canada et les \u00c9tats-Unis... et se demander: eh bien, comment se fait-il que nous sommes si d\u00e9pendants des \u00c9tats-Unis, plus que l'est, disons, l'Italie de la France ou quelque chose du genre, car il n'y a pas l\u00e0-bas ce m\u00eame degr\u00e9 d'int\u00e9gration. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"889700\" data-originallang=\"en\">Tout cela pour dire que les services sont plus diversifi\u00e9s et que c'est dans l'ordre des choses. Le transfert ne co\u00fbte rien. Souvent, il faut \u00eatre sur place pour offrir le service. Souvent, cela passe par l'investissement dans un pays \u00e9tranger. SNC-Lavalin est implant\u00e9 partout dans le monde. Ce n'est pas que l'affaire d'un repr\u00e9sentant qui arrive avec son attach\u00e9-case. </p>"
