Thank you.
I very much appreciated the brief presented by the Coalition for Canadian Astronomy. It contains very precise figures which are clearly predicated on the long term plan that has been developed. However, no figures are provided for the Canadian Space Program.
First of all, you are asking that a new Canadian space program be developed, but you don't actually state whether the Canadian government should be required to invest money in this new program once it has been established. Your second point has to do with the reallocation of the Canadian Space Agency's current resources. I have a feeling that the government will focus on the second point, and forget the consequences of the first.
Is that just an oversight? Will you be providing us with information subsequently, or are you not able to tell us the specific amount of public funds that need to be invested in space research?
