Does the Canada Investment Act not require a National Security Review including CSIS and DND prior to approval of such transactions?  Previous articles on this topic seemed to indicate that such consultations were limited and the determination of exemption from this review was questionable.  

Butts may need to check some facts or at least keep the story straight before trotting Trudeau out there to (attempt to) deliver the message.
