Whether or not it was a sincere effort, I think the government was interested then in reducing both the incidence and perception of social conflict with Canadian firms.
The other part of the question is whether a regulatory response, as envisioned, would have had any effect either. I'm not in favour of discounting the self-regulatory option, only because I'm not really convinced the government—even if it had pursued a regulatory option—would have put the kinds of resources behind it to have any effect whatsoever.
