I explained the role of the Canadian Space Agency in this deal earlier. It is the same as it is in any other deal. I would remind you that this is not the first time that property transfers have taken place in the 20 years that we have been in existence. Indeed, when RADARSAT-2 was being built, MDA itself was owned by an American company. Since then, there have been other transfers back and forth in the Canadian space industry. The role of the Canadian Space Agency is to ensure that, should such deals be finalized, Canadian taxpayers receive the goods and services they are due under the terms of the contract.
On April 1st, 2008. See this statement in context.
