Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
And thank you all for being here.
It was interesting. In listening to the presentations, it seems that Canada would be more similar to Australia or New Zealand, or some other countries that have a large number of natural resources. When I look at foreign investment, I look at what it will bring to the country as far as jobs, technology, and innovation. That applies to the natural resource sector as well.
But when I'm looking at foreign investment, it's money coming in and actually growing something, as opposed to a natural resource, where it's coming in, taking a raw material out of the country, and maybe creating a few jobs.
Could I get some comments on that? Could you differentiate, if you can, between a foreign investment and an acquisition of a natural resource?
Mr. Campbell, would you like to start off?
