Madam Speaker, what I would say is that the direction of the bill is so important. I have risen many times in the House to talk about corporate concentration and foreign ownership. Especially, when foreign owners attempt to purchase an asset in Canada, whether it is a holding company, an operating company or straight asset, and they are backed by, say, a fund that is backed by the government, we need to have the tools and resources to block those types of acquisitions.
If this is going on that track, the bill will hopefully be sent to committee for further studies, further recommendations and more in-depth questions.
I appreciate the hon. member's question. I share those concerns.
We need to make sure that we protect our assets and our companies from national security threats from wherever they may arise throughout the world.
