Thank you.
Mr. Fergusson, it is a known fact that the majority of Quebeckers are opposed to the militarization of space. I am told that ATK manufactures fragmentation bombs and anti-personnel landmines. Earlier, you talked about decades of Canadian policy. Yet, in recent decades, people have tended to oppose war and to favour negotiation over war.
Canada is a signatory to the Ottawa Convention which calls for the removal of anti-personnel land mines If Radarsat is bought by ATK, a company that manufacturers fragmentation bombs and anti-personnel landmines, do we run the risk of being associated with the United States, a country that has not signed the Ottawa Convention?
