This is an interesting question. We're going back many years into the past. I was not really part of the project team when all these things were negotiated.
From my recollection, there was an interdepartmental group working on these matters under the leadership of DFAIT at the time, Foreign Affairs, to see how this could be structured in terms of the relationship with the U.S. government and also in terms of the remote sensing act that we have in place now in Canada. These items were considered when the new legislation was put in place in 2005, but as to the precise details on how these things were negotiated and to which conclusions they came, I was not part of that at the time.
