I have the same concern as you on this, Mr. Lemire. Protecting the interests of Quebec and Canada is of course always among my objectives.

I have a table on national security reviews which shows that they have been increasing in number. In 2017, there were four exhaustive national security reviews. This increased to 10 in 2018, dropped to nine in 2019, but then rose to 24 in 2020, 2021 and 2022. So you can see that over time, we have been doing more and more national security reviews, precisely to protect the economic interests of the country.
