I think the motion is reasonable. In light of the previous studies we've done, it's important that this committee be able to weigh in on this kind of issue and ask for some form of accountability from the minister.
Would Bill C‑34 make it possible to go further than the current legislation? However, it hasn't yet completed the legislative process in the Senate. In the meantime, I think committee members have a duty to make this request, if only to send a message to the minister that we're still concerned about the acquisition of companies. This shows the hegemony of China, which owns more rare resources, rare earths and lithium around the world.
So I would be in favour of adopting this motion. If that's not possible, it will be declared null and void. At least the committee members will have sent a message to the minister so he knows that we want this work to be done through the Investment Canada Act.
