In this video from our CBB Corporate Counsel Insights Series, partner Chris Hersh discusses recent announcements regarding foreign investment in Canada, particularly in regards to state-owned enterprises (SOEs).

Says Chris: "While the Canadian government approved significant investments by Chinese and Malaysian State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs) late last week, it also sent a strong message to SOEs that future transactions will have to meet even higher standards. In characterizing Canada's policy position on SOE investments, Prime Minister Harper stated that 'Canada is open for business, but not for sale'".
