The Foreign Investment Review Agency was established by Parliament during the year 1973 "to ensure that the foreign acquisition and establishment of businesses in Canada was beneficial to the country." FIRA restricted foreign ownership in the communications, transport and oil and gas industries, for example.
FIRA would have halted:
The denationalization of the The People's Railway. It is now called North America's Railroad.
The takeover of CNR and CPR hotels by the multinational Fairmont Hotels and Resorts.
The acquisition by Barry Diller (Fox News, Paramount) of more than 600 Canadian Broadcasting Corporation transmission towers, thousands of transmitters and the land on which they stood.
The sale of the La Ronde amusement park at Expo 67 in Montreal to a major American company.
