In tabling the letter, the Minâ€" ister ‘stated: "Honourable memâ€" bers will recall that, in dealing with questions asked during conâ€" sideration of Departmental estiâ€" mates, I indicated my intention The Government has been giving a good deal of attention, to the need for the best possible perâ€" formance from the Canadian econâ€" to formulate appropriate guidance to help subsidiaries of foreign companies conduct their affairs as good corporate citizens of Canada.
