Okay.
This question is open to anyone.
In June 2020, in his testimony before this committee—he also recently appeared—Charles Burton from the Macdonald-Laurier Institute stated that some enterprises controlled or owned by a foreign state “use multiple firms with multiple investments to get under the wire of our thresholds, but they actually violate what I would regard as the intention of our act.”
Do the amendments to the Investment Canada Act address the concerns raised at that meeting, yes or no? Why or why not?
How would the enactment of Bill C-34 affect prospective acquisitions of Canadian businesses by foreign state-owned or state-controlled enterprises?
