Not once, Minister, have you said anything about not having the Conflict of Interest Act or the Investment Canada Act exempt at all after these powers are granted. That's very concerning.
I hope you can see why Canadians are concerned about this specific provision being passed by you. It's because, behind closed doors, your government can grant any company...whether it has a conflict of interest with a minister, with the Prime Minister or in Beijing, if a Chinese company wants to come here.
