What I'm pointing out though is that their point about "national security" really came down to "we don't trust China"/"we don't trust america". And it passed through Parliament fine because it pretty much had the support of Canadians.
- icambron 13y agoYou're right that the legislature can pass any law they want; I was just talking about the executive branch's authority to veto deals directly.
