Mr. Speaker, in my conversations with farmers over the years, I have heard directly from them how concerned they are about the long-term sustainability of their families, of their industries and of their ability to continue to deliver high-quality food to all Canadians. That is why they are focused on fighting climate change and doing so in a way that is going to make sure we are building a stronger future for everyone. We will continue to work with farmers across this country to make sure they are equipped for the changes that are coming while at the same time able to continue to thrive in their communities and in their families as they work hard to feed all Canadians.

Madam Speaker, in response to the member for Winnipeg North, I will add food as one of the industries that should be on the list. However, my question is around the issue of assets. The Investment Canada Act focuses on companies, but more and more, we are seeing Canadian companies selling their strategic assets, sometimes to countries that are not favourable to us. A company could remain Canadian but sell off a mine; a technology; or in our intangible asset world, even data. Could the member speak to the issue that, if the bill goes to committee, which I believe it will, we should be looking at it in terms of the areas of assets in addition to just companies?
