It got us participation in the program to develop astronauts. It got us to be part of the space mission program. We developed a lot of technology, a lot of spinoffs. But I suggest to you that Canada seems to be withdrawing from an effective space program because of our diminishing investments. That's a real challenge.
In fact, Mr. MacDonald, the founder of MDA, has said that if there had been effective investment by Canada in the space industry, MDA might not have needed to look elsewhere for future contracts.
There are contracts on the order books that Canada is committed to, but the funding has not been invested. How do you account for that?
