Minister, MDA is the dominant company in Canada's space industry. There's been a lot of consolidation, and MDA has built a significant presence in Canada's space industry as the biggest player. There's a real concern that selling MDA to a foreign company is akin to a modern-day Avro Arrow in the impact it will have on the future development of Canada's space industry.
Will you guarantee, as part of your evaluation under the Investment Canada Act, that this decision will protect the future development of Canada's space agency, that you will consider it as an industrial strategy for our country as well as a sovereignty issue?
