Abstract

Throughout Canada’s history, foreign investment has been welcomed only reluctantly. Suspicion of investment by state-owned enterprises is only the latest chapter in this history. This working paper describes and critiques recent changes to Investment Canada's Guidelines on foreign direct investment by state-owned enterprises. Specifically, the paper questions the logic of distinguishing between state-owned enterprises and privately-owned acquirers in the foreign direct investment review process.
