We also put in provisions on national security issues. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3014465\" data-originallang=\"en\">As I said, I was not satisfied that the proposed deal would bring a net benefit for Canada. That is why we said the company has 30 days from the decision to make additional representations.</p>",

Nous avons aussi ajout\u00e9 des dispositions sur la s\u00e9curit\u00e9 nationale.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3014465\" data-originallang=\"en\">Comme je l'ai dit, je n'\u00e9tais pas convaincu que la transaction propos\u00e9e serait \u00e0 l'avantage net du Canada. C'est la raison pour laquelle nous avons dit que l'entreprise avait 30 jours, \u00e0 partir de la date de la d\u00e9cision, pour soumettre une autre proposition.</p>"
