I should like to suggest to the Minister that, in view of the doubts which were expressed during the earlier stages of this Bill as to the results which would accrue from the enactment of this legislation, the Minister should consider publishing a brochure or taking some steps to make it publicly known abroad that this measure has relaxed restrictions on external investments here.
I think nobody is entirely happy about the Title of this measure and the mere fact that we have not been able to get a better Title during the various stages of the Bill is no reason why the present Title should be accepted as satisfactory. I would therefore urge on the Minister the desirability of making it known that the amendment has relaxed restrictions in view of the agreed national policy of endeavouring to get external investment here. Either a brochure or some publicity calculated to convey the information that the restrictions which are imposed here are of a less rigid type than heretofore obtained would I believe probably secure more publicity than the actual discussions which have taken place during the various stages of the Bill have secured. Certainly, outsiders reading the Bill once it leaves this House, or after it is enacted by both Houses, would be pardoned if they were not aware of the relaxation which is intended. As it leaves here it is a somewhat intricate measure and, therefore, I would suggest some steps should be taken to make it publicly known, particularly abroad, that the requirements which operated heretofore have been relaxed, at least to some extent, and that we are anxious to attract external investment.
