Thank you, Madam Chair.

I will begin with Mr. Greenley.

First of all, heartiest congratulations, Mr. Greenley. MDA has been a huge home-grown success story. I want to congratulate you on that.

You mentioned the new space economy, and how it's currently worth approximately $450 billion, but you estimate, in the next decade, it will surpass $1 trillion.

Is Canada well positioned, as far as that new economy is concerned? How do we commercialize on opportunities that would become available?
