Thank you, Madam Chair.

My questions today are for CSIS.

In 2016, concerns were raised about the purchase of InnVest Real Estate by a company called Bluesky. The Financial Post reported that Bluesky may have connections to a Chinese state-owned enterprise, Anbang. The Financial Post also stated that the CEO of Bluesky said that she was representing Anbang but “it didn't want to be named as the buyer”.

Mr. Hahlweg, do you think transparency in the use of intermediaries in these acquisitions is a gap that should be better addressed by the Investment Canada Act?
