| Abstract: |
Canadian mining executives and others, including a former federal trade minister, came out strongly on Thursday against the contentious Bill C-300, arguing that, if enacted, the bill could result in a potential “exodus” of Canada-domiciled resources companies.
Hearings are under way this week into the controversial private-members' bill, which would allow Canada's government to investigate the activities of Canadian resources firms in foreign countries and withhold taxpayer-funded financing, such as from Export Development Canada, from transgressors.
