Right. I can give you the data; giving you my opinion is where it gets a little dangerous for me, but here are the data, and this is just CSA's budget. In 1997, our budget was $496 million. When we were promulgated as an agency we were given a budget of $300 million. I was sitting in the back row in those days, and the concept was that the Canadian Space Agency would be given a budget of about $300 million and then a series of major crown projects that would add up to $600 million or $700 million.
I think the leadership with the CSA at that time did a good job to get the agreement that they'd have a base budget of $300 million and then a project budget of $300 million to $500 million.
Of course the project budget never materialized. As well, our base budget has gone like this--downward. Our budget this year was $358 million, and that includes some money from the stimulus program. That's why it's a little higher than the $300 million. With the strategic review, it's predicted to be $278 million in just a couple of years. In order for us to be a vibrant space nation, we need much more than that.
