I do. Thank you very much, Mr. Longfield.
One of the risks of having blanket rules is that we don't always see what the unintended consequences of those rules might be. For example, Canada is still quite reliant on other countries for PPE, and we are co-operating with other nations to develop vaccines and treatments for COVID-19, which is affecting not just Canadians but citizens from around the world. I will note that the government did announce a research partnership with a Chinese company to work on developing the COVID-19 vaccine in Canada. My concern is that if we impose blanket restrictions on investment, maybe we don't benefit from those opportunities, and we impact our ability to work co-operatively with other countries on goals that are mutually shared.
I don't disagree with Mr. Balsillie that there are areas where we need to have heightened scrutiny and where we should be focused on protecting critical industries and critical technologies, but having blanket restrictions does send the wrong message to the world: that Canada is not open for business. We need to collaborate with other nations to achieve common goals.
