Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.

Thank you for being here, Dr. Carty and Monsieur Dufour.

On January 30 in the House of Commons, Minister Prentice said that Dr. Carty is a respected Canadian “whom I hold in very high regard”. I think we should take him at his word for that.

Dr. Carty, I'll come back to the sale of MDA, but I'm trying to find out what ministers would consult you on. What kinds of issues? I notice in your biography that you're also on the board of the Canadian Space Agency. Is that correct?
