Thank you.

I'll now go to Mr. Marc-André Viau.

Mr. Viau, as you know, on April 18 Industry Canada issued a policy statement, and in that policy statement it acknowledged the fact that some Canadian companies may be distressed and there may be incidents of predatory investments. As a result of that, on April 18, Industry Canada announced that the government will subject “all foreign investments by state-owned investors, regardless of their value...to enhanced scrutiny under the Act.”

Are you in favour of that statement?
