To tell you frankly, we have not studied the potential impact of other acts but the fact of the matter is that this issue is governed by the Investment Canada Act. We had this kind of concerns with other attempts to use C-23 or the Canada Marine Act to cover issues already dealt with in the Investment Canada Act. I'm talking here about a broader issue, the threshold reporting requirements found in the Act, which may not necessarily apply to the ports.
We cannot fully assess the impact of this provision nor what it would mean for the Public Safety minister. Legally speaking it is not appropriate to include this provision in a piece of legislation that deals with economic policies.
