Mr. Speaker, I think we might be able to agree that there is a need to make changes to the Investment Canada Act. There is no doubt about that.
Where we might somewhat differ in our opinions is on the role of the Liberal Party of Canada. If we take a look at it from a historical point of view, we had the Foreign Investment Review Agency. It was something Pierre Elliott Trudeau put into place because of the issue of foreign investment.
At the time there was a great deal of criticism in terms of to what degree it was stifling investment coming to Canada. It is important that we recognize that Canadians have been concerned about foreign investment for many years.
At the end of the day, what we need to do is make the amendments to ensure there is going to be more transparency and more of a net benefit for all Canadians when we do have foreign investments. I am wondering if the member would agree with that.
