Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'd like to direct my first question to either Ms. Walker or Mr. Caldecott.
In the Bar Association's April 2023 brief, you encouraged the government to ensure that the amendments proposed in Bill C-34 and the regulations and guidelines accompanying the new mandatory preclosing regime are clear and do not impose unnecessary requirements or burdens.
How do you suggest the government strike the required balance between the protection of Canada's national security interests and the importance of allowing foreign investment in Canada?
