That $580 million, I believe, is going to the European Space Agency via the Canadian Space Agency, as we are a contributing member to it. That is a very good program. However, one thing about it is that you have to find a European partner to work with to unlock the $500 million. It's not like we can just go to the European Space Agency and say that we want to work on a project and they say, “Here's a $500-million project.”
The problem in a lot of these cases is finding a European partner. We have a very good relationship with the European Space Agency. That program would be very good if it could be aligned with other similar investments that are directly invested in Canadian companies to bring them to a point where they are on the same playing field as German or U.K. companies, because we simply are not.
Right now, if you look at the space ecosystem in Canada, it's not a really diverse ecosystem. We have one or two companies generating a lot of products and they have exports. When you look at the SMEs, there's a huge imbalance there, if you will. It would be good if that money could be coordinated, with the same amount going directly back into the Canadian industry.
