In the last three months, COVID-19 has had profound impacts on all aspects of Canada’s domestic and foreign policy, including foreign investment review. This panel will explore recent developments in Canada and the US, including the ISED Minister’s COVID-19 Policy Statement on foreign investment review, the potential impact of proposed draft legislation on national security review timelines, and recent changes to the CFIUS process. Our experts will also offer practical insights into the implications of the evolving landscape for transaction planning and client counselling.
