Mr. Jarislowsky, you chatted to us today about preventing companies from being purchased by foreigners. You also said that Canada should not be in the bailout business, and so on. My question is more philosophical, and I'm sure you've thought about this.
My concern has always been why Canadians aren't more aggressive in their investments. Why are we complaining that foreign companies and foreign investors are buying Canadian companies? What's wrong with Canadians doing it? I asked a professor who was at a previous meeting a similar question.
I know you understand the marketplace quite well. Why should we be putting a moratorium on that? Why don't we do something to convince Canadians that they should be investing in their own companies? I'd like to know what your response is to that.
