Mrs. Desbiens, I read your motion quickly.
It talks about what the committee studied in the last session, including some transactions made by large foreign companies that invest in Canada to buy our fish processing plants, for example. Sometimes, some even go to the docks to offer rock-bottom prices to fishermen.
The effect of this is that after two or three years, the prices are at the lowest possible level. So the fishermen have to deal with a company that has a monopoly in the area. It becomes difficult to preserve the gains of our coastal communities.
Are foreign investments and the large corporations exercising extraordinary control the subjects of your study?
