Mr. Speaker, I was referring to the minister's decision with respect to the wireless assets of Nortel.
On Wednesday, the Minister of Industry dismissed the possibility of reviewing whether the sale of Nortel's wireless assets was in Canada's best interests. Even though the price paid was well above $1 billion Canadian, he maintained that the actual value was no more than $182 million, and that it would therefore not be necessary to review the transaction.
Even though the stakes are high and it would only be prudent, the minister simply said no.
Is this a good way to protect Canadian interests?
