I have only a little to add to Mr. Byers' testimony.
We have to remind ourselves that around $400 million of the investment was advance purchase of some of that imagery. So we prepaid, like your cellphone, some of the use of this satellite. It envisions a certain ability to jump the queue over other commercial users. So that's important.
Also, the Remote Sensing Space Systems Act, in addition to shutter control, also envisions inspectors being able to go into facilities to ensure that the principles of the act are being adhered to. Now, are we talking about being able to send Canadian inspectors down to Alliant Techsystems' offices to ensure that the data is being used in accordance with the act? I think that's a very good question.
This is a point that's unclear. Even the Library of Parliament, in a study that it did about this sale just a few weeks ago, finally concluded that “...it is possible that the sale of MDA's aerospace division to Alliant Techworks may require some changes to the current licensing arrangements for RADARSAT-2”. That says to me that the laws might have to be changed in order to allow it. So it's not just letting it go. You might actually have to change Canadian legislation to allow this to happen.
