I guess it comes down to how the committee feels about corruption and bribery charges in terms of the investment review process. There are so many different companies that have been involved with this. Even companies we all know, like Rolls-Royce Holdings, Embraer SA, Walmart, as I mentioned, and BAE Systems. These guys have operations across Canada. There's also Siemens AG, which is a German company.
We have a lot of different companies involved in this. I guess the question would be, what are we trying to protect in this legislation and review process, and what kind of pressure are we trying to put on companies that may in fact just be trying to make a legitimate investment in the country? I believe, if we're looking at what other countries are doing, especially the U.K. and the Americans, they seem to have this included. I don't know why Canada would have to be a little more lax on that. I would think Canada would want to be at least on par with our Five Eyes counterparts. I know we're looking at a lot of different issues, like transparency. One of my big concerns is that we need to look at how the investment review division works across multiagencies, which I think is really important. I'd leave the remainder of that for debate for the committee, but I certainly think we should consider leaving the mandatory in.
Thank you.
