Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you, Minister, for being here with us today.
Let's shift gears a little bit. Let's talk about the foreign direct investment branch you're about to set up.
From a previous career as a corporate lawyer, I noted that law firms made a lot of money publishing books on how to do business in Canada. If you talk to a lot of people down south and you talk to a lot of people in Europe, they have great things to say about our country, but they have a few complaints about doing business in our country. That's what restricts foreign direct investment. Could you comment on the existing barriers to foreign direct investment in Canada and how this new agency will help alleviate some of those?
