I know there's a lot of concern among some parties here about the presence of state-owned enterprises and state-owned investments in Canada. It's clear that state-owned enterprises are not exactly like other Western companies and, as you point out, there has been a growing tightening of party control.
That said, I think we have to be confident as Canadians and look at the regulatory framework that we have. The suggestion that a Chinese state-owned enterprise, because perhaps it acted in a certain way in Africa is going to act in this way in Canada—that it's going to undermine labour standards, it's going to undermine environmental standards, it's going to do this, it's going to do that, and act in anti-competitive ways—I think is ridiculous.
We set the playing field here. We set the rules. State-owned enterprises have to act by the same rules as large multinationals from other countries. I think we have to be aware that they're not the same, and we do have to be careful, but I think there's a lot of benefit for Canada in inviting state-owned enterprises into Canada—properly regulated to ensure that they contribute to the economy of this country.
