It is important to be open to both domestic and foreign investment, but the most important thing is to protect national security.
I would say to the honourable member that, based on the Red Wilson panel's report, it is important to have a limit for consideration of these Investment Canada applications. The one-billion-dollar limit was the one suggested by the panel. I think it's a reasonable one. It's a more modern calculation as well, because it take into account goodwill and other factors that were not taken into account with book value in the previous piece of legislation. I think we would be perfectly able to protect Canada's national security while at the same time advancing our interest in continuing to be a place that is open to investment.
