Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you to all the witnesses for making time for the committee and for their testimony.

My questions are also for Ms. Black. It think it's very interesting to compare the Canadian regime with the American one.

In your opening testimony, you mentioned five points. I think a lot of them show that what Bill C-34 proposes, actually, brings the ICA in line with what the U.S. does. For example, Bill C-34 would “authorize the Minister of Industry, after consultation with the Minister of Public Safety...to impose interim conditions [on] investments in order to prevent” a potential national security injury from taking place “during the review”. Would you say that that's in line with the interim measures that CFIUS has?
