I'm not questioning your loyalty to the country. I know you're a good Canadian. It's a little tongue-in-cheek, but it's important because of the climate that we're in.
To relate it to a real-world example, you get two applications for similar projects in a province at the same time. One is owned by an American company and one is owned by Canada. You give priority to the Canadian one, I'm assuming, but I'd like to hear from you.
