Mr. Chair, I just question why we would be dealing at the natural resource committee with the sale of a company that is the purview of the industry committee, perhaps the international trade committee, or perhaps the foreign affairs committee. Primarily it's the Minister of Industry who deals with things like this. That committee is the most appropriate one in which to discuss it.
Notwithstanding what the satellite does, among other things, among a whole bunch of other things, it does some things to deal with our natural resources. But we're not talking about how it deals with our natural resources, we're talking about the sale of this thing. For that reason, I fail to see the purpose of bringing this motion forward at this committee when it rightly belongs in the industry committee, if any, of all the committees. The sale is particular to the Investment Canada Act.
So I think this motion is actually not appropriate to bring forward to this committee.
