I would argue that it could be more rigorous, based on some of the deals that we've looked at. We would like to see more transparency around the different aspects that are being looked at when undertaking a net benefit review. What level of due diligence is taking place when looking at a transaction? What questions are being asked when looking at how this affects Canadian workers, other stakeholders, customers or anyone who is going to be affected by the transaction? We'd like to see more transparency in the process.
Also, what are the commitments that we are able to get from foreign buyers in terms of living up to the commitments that we expect when they decide to invest in Canadian businesses? How do we have an opportunity to go back and look at those commitments to see if those commitments need to be changed or if they need to be tightened somehow?
I think there has to be some process for being able to look more closely at the deals, for the public to actually look at how these deals are scrutinized, so that we have more tools to be able to say, “That review process didn't make sense, and going forward we need to make some changes to make sure certain aspects of it are tightened.” I think that would be good for the review process long-term.
