PROPOSED INVESTMENT
CANADA ACT REFORMS
Broaden the review scope of
international investment
Create new filing requirements prior
to investment implementation
Impose stronger penalties for non-
compliance
Give minister authority to extend
national security reviews, impose
conditions during a national security
review, and accept undertakings to
mitigate national security risk
looking at transactions under their regulatory
authority and being less afraid to intervene.
"You can't say that it's just one sector," he
says. "ere are sectors that are more sensi-
tive than others, but this applies everywhere.
Regulatory assertiveness breeds risk, and it
becomes more complicated, more costly, and
more uncertain to complete deals."
On Dec. 21, the Department of Finance
launched a consultation on enhancing compe-
tition in the banking sector. Finance polled
Canadians about how the current acquisi-
tion and merger process could be improved
to support greater competition, including by
smaller, innovative competitors. e consulta-
tion ended on March 1.
Amm says that pre-deal planning is
important to get deals done in a more hostile
environment. Parties must assess the risks and
where the political winds are blowing, and
consider whether the target is worth it.
"I've got to identify all the issues upfront.
I've got to figure out a proactive way – and a
creative way – to deal with them."
He says this involves examining the
government's objectives and communi-
cating commitments that will allay regula-
tory concerns.
"We oen work with government rela-
tions and PR firms to try and better under-
stand the political context and the regula-
tory context," says Amm. "We focus a lot
more on the narrative, the message of the
deal. How do we talk about the deal in a way
that advances government priorities rather
than raising problems?"
