Mr. Carrie, I raised this issue, but I do not think that we should investigate every case. This case is really special, given the fact that it has to do with RADARSAT-2. I think that it is significant. In fact, this technology could let the Americans learn more of our secrets than we know about theirs and than we know about other persons. That being the case, it is really important to know what they want to do with this company. If this concerned a sock manufacturer, we would not raise any questions. However, we are dealing with high technology in this case. It could lead to some fallout.
As Ms. Nash said, this is a big issue. We invest substantial sums in a company, and as soon as it becomes viable and functional, we sell it. In other words, all the cutting-edge industries in which the government invests money could be sold to foreign countries as soon as they become viable. Canadian taxpayers, who paid for this, would be shortchanged. We must also look into that.
