Thank you, Madam Chair.
I'd like to thank all of our witnesses for being here in order to help us with this study today to answer our questions.
I understand that FDI is great and good for Canada, generally speaking. If we're able to attract foreign investment, obviously the economy is better, and the value of our country goes up. As FDI decreased globally in recent years, in Canada it's been on the rise, which is great for Canada.
Mr. Schwanen, you mentioned that we should discourage Canadian companies from panic selling in order to make sure that Canada and Canadian-owned enterprises remain and that we stay strong. If we're not going to scrutinize further foreign investment during this period, and if we don't make the act stronger, what are the ways you think we can discourage companies from panic selling during a time of crisis such as the one we're in right now? How can we make sure that Canadians don't sell their businesses to foreign investors while still receiving some help from them, if it's needed?
