I don't know that I said they were.... What I said was that the Investment Canada Act looks like general framework legislation, and it may look more daunting than that of some other countries that may look carefully at specific sectors. Despite the Investment Canada Act, I think Canada has generally been viewed by foreign investors as a fairly open place, but there have been these hiccups along the way. When foreign investors see that, they wonder what's going to happen next.
