In order for both the deal and the licence transfer to comply with the Remote Sensing Space Systems Act, they still have to be approved by a number of people, including the Minister of Industry. As the President of the Canadian Space Agency, I have to ensure that the undertakings given to the Canadian government in the contract between the Canadian Space Agency and MDA are met.
