Minister, I will take your non-answer to mean that the Conflict of Interest Act would not apply to a company or an individual if any prime minister or minister grants them those powers and a contract under the government. That is concerning, because it means that a company like Brookfield, which obviously has a conflict of interest with the Prime Minister, could be awarded a contract and be given Canadian money without having the Conflict of Interest Act apply to it with these powers.
I have another question for you. Would this division and this part also give the power to exempt any company or person from the government from the Investment Canada Act? Answer yes or no.
