Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
I agree with Mr. McTeague. On the other hand, I would like you to tell me if in the context of the North American Free Trade Agreement, the minister or the government could oppose the purchase of a private Canadian company by a private American company. Does the government have any power to intervene in such purchases or sales? Could our analysts answer this question?
As far as I am concerned, if I owned a company and if an American company wanted to purchase it, I would not be pleased if the Canadian government could decide whether I could go ahead with that or not.
