I'm definitely very concerned about our lack of effective action on this. I was completely flummoxed when we had an opportunity to stop the Chinese acquisition of a Canadian-controlled mine in Argentina.
A lot of this seems to have to do with persons who were involved in the policy process who may have a conflict of interest because they are the recipients of benefits from a foreign regime. I'd really like to see us follow through with an act like Australia's Foreign Influence Transparency Scheme Act, or a foreign agents registry act, just so that the people who are in this conflict of interest will have to declare it. That could clear up some mysterious decisions by government that seem to favour the Chinese regime and that I believe act against the overall interests of Canada and the international rules-based order.
