Mr. Speaker, my colleague raised some very troubling points in his speech.
There seems to be a trend. Year after year, the number of foreign investments made in Canada goes up, as does their value. According to the latest available data, there were 1,255 applications for a total of $87 billion. Only eight of those applications were reviewed.
This bill would bump the number of applications reviewed up a bit, to 24. That is barely 2%. It does not sound like that is enough.
What should the government do to improve this bill?
