Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to the witnesses for appearing before the committee.
I'd like to ask questions of Mr. Bruce and Dr. Lee about the provisions in the act itself.
In the act, we know there's an amendment to create a new filing requirement prior to the implementation of investments in prescribed business sectors. Some colleagues, I think, would rather the act require pre-implementation filing for all investments and not just for key sectors.
My personal view is that requiring the investments to undergo this filing for all sectors would create more red tape for investors. However, the targeted pre-implementation filing measure would achieve the objective of protecting national security while also limiting the economic harm.
I want to get your views on that.
