Thanks, Chair.
Thanks to all of the committee members for a good, productive meeting. I'm glad we got that last motion passed, with some consensus-building.
I propose to amend this and take out “within 14 days”. Basically, everything would stay the same, except that we'd be deleting “within 14 days of the adoption of this motion”. If you just take that out, then I think we'd be prepared to support it.
The background for this is that obviously it's a loan to Telesat. The loan is structured, and the nature of the industry—putting satellites up into space—is a complex one. You have to understand the business model, and the amount of time that that takes, to understand the structure of a loan that would support an industry like that. It's unique.
This would be a good opportunity for us to understand that a bit better and, hopefully, to educate the Conservatives, because they don't seem to get that.
