Mr. Chair, this proposal would include new factors of personal information and the right to use IP, which the minister must consider when determining whether or not to advance a review to section 25.3. We would point members to the current guidelines on the national security review of investments, which clearly indicates that among the factors taken into account in national security reviews are the transfers of technology or know-how and access to sensitive personal data.
The existing guidelines on sensitive technology and IP are actually broader than this amendment and are not limited to whether or not its development was funded by the government, and that's taken into account in our national security reviews.
