Have there been any other major space robotic projects--we have Canadarm, Canadarm2, Dextre, RADARSAT-1--where the Government of Canada has signed over the ownership and operation of the entire project to a privately held company? I think it's really important to get the answer. Based on the importance of the technology, would it not have been better to have signed a deal, such as with RADARSAT-1, where the Canadian Space Agency owned and operated it?
A lot of my Conservative friends have come to me and said, “Isn't this just another example of Liberal mismanagement in a huge government program?”
