In the fourth quarter of 2022, Canada’s federal government proposed significant amendments to the Investment Canada Act’s national security review powers, including mandatory pre-closing notification for some control and non-control level acquisitions, implemented a new critical minerals policy, ordered three Chinese companies to divest critical minerals investments and, departing from past practice, announced that it will publicly name parties subject to national security reviews in certain circumstances, all during a time of heightened tensions with China. In our seventh episode of the podcast, Phil Harwood, Partner at Longview Communications and Public Affairs, joins us to share his perspectives on these important developments.
