TIME EVENT

12:00 pm – 1:00 pm

What makes an effective national security remedy, and when have different approaches been successful or unsuccessful in the past? How can private practitioners and the Canadian government work together to best devise and negotiate national security undertakings that are proportionate to the risks raised by a particular investor in the context of a given investment? In what circumstances might specific structural and behavioural remedies be appropriate? This panel will explore key lessons learned in the past and how those lessons can impact future investments.

Speakers:

Mehmet Karman, Foreign Investment Review and Economic Security Branch

Samantha Clark, Foreign Investment Review and Economic Security Branch
