Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Today we have some people from the space industry visiting us. So, as agreed, I'm going to give you notice of a motion that will be emailed to you shortly.
This motion provides that, pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), the committee undertake a study on the space industry, and examine strategic, political and economic opportunities related to the development of this industry. The motion also calls for the committee to examine different legislative approaches around the world, and leadership initiatives put forward by foreign powers; and to examine not only the impacts on cross-cutting issues such as security and sovereignty, but also the support and development of this industry, as well as the relevance of establishing a space policy. The motion finally requests that the testimony and documents already gathered by the committee during the 43rd Parliament on this subject be considered.
I am not asking that this motion be adopted today, but that it be placed on the agenda of a future meeting.
Thank you.
