Madam Speaker, I explained in my remarks that this was an American owned company that was sold to another and then to another American company. They were obviously WTO-based companies. We are not talking about direct assets purchase.This is the difference.
The member should know this very well. This is the same law that was in place when his party was in power for 13 years. We tried to provide more transparency. We followed the conclusions of the competition committee. We addressed these issues in 2009. We recognized that we can do better and this is under study. We have to keep the balance. We want to attract foreign investment for the net benefit of Canada to create jobs and economic growth. For that, the worst path to take is protectionism. We will not take that path.
