You talked about many of the successes of the space agency, and it feels a bit like you're driving by looking in the rear-view mirror, because the successes we've had have been the result of investments by past governments. There's no successful space program around the world that doesn't rely heavily on government investment.
Yet Canada's level of investment in space has been dropping dramatically, and we are the lowest of the G-8, whether it's dollar amounts or percentage of GDP. While we have in the past made a lot of money from our investments, now that we're selling these off and our investments in new technology are diminishing, there is no space policy. Canada has no space policy and our investments are declining.
So what's the plan? How are we going to continue after we've sold off, if the government does approve this deal, the largest company that's developing technology for the space industry? What's the plan for the future?
