Thank you very much.
Thank you very much for your presentations.
Mr. Greenley, there are those who would argue against a space strategy because they say it's a luxury for rich countries that we don't necessarily have. Yet we need it for our competitiveness. It's a national strategic asset that was identified as a key industrial capability generating $5.5 billion in revenue, 10,000 direct jobs, 22,000 indirect jobs and $2.3 billion in contribution to GDP.
While the exploration of outer space with AI and the next generation of Canadarm is a very romantic notion, could you give us an idea of the other elements of the space strategy that are maybe a little more down-to-earth, such as mid-earth orbit, low-earth orbit, RADARSAT, both military and civilian, so we can fully appreciate that this is not an outer space notion? It's actual command and control communications. Canada has been a world leader and is now at risk of not being a world leader.
