Ms. Marie-Josée Thivierge at the Industry, Science and Technology Committee

I will answer by saying that paragraph 20(e) clearly says that, for the minister, one of the factors is “the compatibility of the investment with national industrial, economic and cultural policies, taking into consideration industrial, economic and cultural policy objectives enunciated by the government or legislature of any province likely to be significantly affected by the investment”.

So one of the factors is to the extent that it is enunciated by a province.
