A lot of media reporting has indicated that the review was triggered by a business expansion. I'd like for us to confirm this was the case for the nature of the review.
Also, section 2 of the Investment Canada Act states:
the purposes of this Act are to provide for the review of significant investments in Canada by non-Canadians in a manner that encourages investment, economic growth and employment opportunities in Canada and to provide for the review of investments in Canada by non-Canadians that could be injurious to national security.
I'm not sure how that relates to the complete substance of what we have been studying. I would like to seek a bit of clarity about the national security review. Is it to assess the data-harvesting and data-sharing practices of TikTok, or is it related to an impending commercial transaction?
I think having an understanding about the nature of the review would perhaps help guide us better with respect to how we turn out our report.
