Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
As I understand it, the government has invested $435 million in RADARSAT-2. You also spoke of a further $394 million, which gives us a total of $829 million.
After this sale is concluded—if it comes to fruition—will the contracts that you sign with other agencies and companies in the future include provisions allowing you to retain ownership of the intellectual property? If I am not mistaken, we have just ceded all of our intellectual property and given them millions of dollars. What are we getting in return?
You spoke about $435 million worth of services, images and so forth. But who will have priority access? When we ask ATK for something, will we find that we have dropped to second, third or fourth in line? We may well be told to wait our turn.
I want to know how much time it will take to use up our $435 million worth of credit. Will the satellite become obsolete before we have had time to use up all of our credit?
