Mr. Speaker, the impending sale of the jewel of Canada's space industry is not in the interest of Canadian sovereignty.
RADARSAT-2 is now a target to be bought by an American weapons maker due to a weak law and underfunding of the space agency by the previous Liberal government and continued by the current government.
The government promised openness and transparency, but on this file it has been anything but.
Despite exercising its right to put off the decision for 30 days, has the Minister of Industry made a decision to allow the sale of RADARSAT-2?
