It's not my position that the current approach is untrustworthy, but I think we're in a new paradigm where we have to take that advice with the grain of salt that it deserves. I resent and feel annoyed by the fact that large, foreign multinationals—and not just the largest companies in the United States of America but the largest companies in the world—can be shielded by certain councils and advisory groups that they embed themselves in while they're also doing their own lobbying. I worry that a form of capture happens where these groups aren't able to reflect Canada's best interests but are diluted by those other voices that are running a full-court press on us.
