Thank you, Chair.
With respect to division 18, I'm not in a position to speak to the rationale behind the composition of the budget implementation act. I can, however, speak to the economic benefits related to the implementation of the lunar gateway. The gateway itself will generate 600 highly skilled jobs across Canada and contribute $71 million annually to Canada's GDP. I can also speak to the timeliness of putting forward this legislation in terms our need to be able to ratify and fully implement the treaty with the United States that enables us to implement the gateway agreement. Currently it is being provisionally applied. Most, but not all, of the agreement is in place, and it's necessary to move forward swiftly with this implementing legislation in order to achieve the economic benefits that I mentioned earlier.
Thank you.
