There are two points. First, on the national security element of a test, there already is a national security test. That is in the Remote Sensing Space Systems Act, and in a joined-up kind of way I would like to think that the Department of Industry and this committee would consider the kind of test that Mr. Bernier has to apply in the Department of Foreign Affairs. There is this test that needs to be met for the sale of RADARSAT-2.
The second thing to point out is that the Canadian space industry, in order to fulfill these sorts of green purposes that Mr. Staples was identifying, whether mapping crops, supporting fisheries enforcement or the forestry industry, or ice mapping, is going to need government money, just as we need government money to build icebreakers for the coast guard. This is a public good, and you can't get away from that.
If you don't actually provide that financial stream, then the financial stream that remains is going to be from departments of defence, and most predominantly the U.S. Department of Defense. That is the default position.
