		For instance, Canada's auto sector is concerned about barriers to the Korean market, which is why the government has made addressing non-tariff measures a key priority in our negotiating position.
		Korea is Canada's seventh-largest export destination-our exports to Korea reached an eight-year high of $2.8 billion in 2005.
