The industry minister Tony Clement issued a statement saying that the acquisition will not be subject to a review under the Investment Canada Act. The current threshold for review is for transactions of over CAD 312 million. Based on materials prepared by two public accounting firms and in light of the testimony presented by the companies before the House of Commons Standing Committee on Industry, Science and technology, the government found that the assets being sold fall below that threshold. Opposition parties had called for a review of the takeover amid concerns that key industrial technology and jobs may leave the country with the takeover.
