When you say companies from a country can bid on these things, we have the issue in the public right now about the potential acquisition of Aecon, a major construction company often involved in building critical infrastructure, by a Chinese state-owned company.

Would they, under these rules, qualify as a Canadian company, and therefore be eligible to bid on NATO contracts?
