I'll respond to the question you just asked very quickly.
I'm very skeptical, and I've talked before and certainly in my classes for a long time of this idea of strategic industries. Michael Porter has written about this, and I think he's criticized it quite extensively, as have other economists. Dr. Leblond would be very familiar with this.
It's really just to disguise picking winners and losers. If we're worried about certain companies—or certain ownership, as Dr. Leblond put it—fine, we can develop regulations in that respect. Just saying a blanket industry is strategic seems to me to be bordering on tipping over into protectionism, which is going to harm the Canadian economy.
