Mr. Speaker, my apologies. The role of government is to set a policy framework against which proposals will be weighed.
As far as foreign ownership, as I said before the sole perspective of the Competition Bureau is competition in Canada. I wish the Competition Bureau would be as rigorous on this as it is about gasoline pricing. I have certainly been involved in that discussion. It does not have to look at the question of whether it is Canadian controlled. That is a serious issue for Canadians. I would have problems going above 25%. From a strictly economic point of view one could argue that it might be more efficient.
As policymakers we have to look at things other than economic efficiency. In fairness to the Competition Bureau that is its mandate, but as legislators we have to look at it more broadly.
