Madam Speaker, obviously I agree with my NDP colleague, who raises a really good point.
I would add one thing: out of sight, out of mind. That is true in general. It means that the more distanced the executives are from the company's operations, the less interested they are in the company's well-being and results. It means that the further away the owner of a company is geographically from what is happening here, the less accountability there is and the less likely the company owner is to take our national interests into account in their daily business decisions.
That is something the government needs to keep in mind when deciding whether to authorize transactions.
