Mr. Speaker, in terms of the question in relation to the specific transaction the member is referring to, it is very clear that the transaction was approved under the law and the guidelines that were in place at the time.
As it relates to decisions that this government will take on behalf of Canadians, Canadians can look at different extremes when they are looking at the opposition parties. They can look at a Liberal Party, in which I believe that member was in cabinet in the former Liberal government, which just rubber-stamped every transaction that came before it.
We then have the New Democratic Party which has opposed every single transaction. I note that the NDP member, who just asked me a question, when asked, after giving his speech, to name one transaction that his party actually supported, he could not name one transaction. The NDP does not actually support any transactions.
What this government will do is take a balanced approach. We will assess proposed transactions under the Investment Canada Act and determine whether they are of net benefit to Canada. We will only approve transactions that are of net benefit to Canadians.
