No, no. I'm sorry I didn't express myself very clearly. It's not my language.
As in many developing countries in the world—and I will set Congo aside, because really Congo is a different situation—those countries that are in the process of constructing democracy, in Argentina our institutions sometimes have not become strong enough to deal with these giant economic powers. This needs time.
What I understand is that the application of Bill C-300 will provide necessary help to these countries, because you control these companies at home. That will of necessity have an impact on how these companies behave abroad. This is what I'm talking about. I'm not talking about you coming to my country and taking over the jurisdiction to apply the law; this is not what I'm talking about.
What I'm saying is that applying this law in your own jurisdiction will necessarily have consequences in my jurisdiction. This is the case in many other areas too. If I control pollution on my side, that may have effects on your side: the application of the law in my jurisdiction will have a positive effect in your jurisdiction. That doesn't mean colonialism; it doesn't mean overriding jurisdiction. It's just the application of law in your own jurisdiction that has effects in others. That's normal, I think. It does not seem uncommon.
