At our meeting yesterday, we heard from Mr. Wesley Wark.
In response to a question, he mentioned that it was impossible to really know whether the acquisitions made by China were made for strictly commercial or rather geostrategic reasons. In his view, more and more national security reviews should definitely be done; in fact, they should be done systematically.
What do you think about that?
Your recent mandate letter calls for a modernization of the Investment Canada Act to strengthen the national security review process and better assess and mitigate economic security threats arising from foreign investment.
