To paint a picture for you, in every threat there is an opportunity. You identified and acknowledged there's a tremendous threat. I heard it in previous testimonies. I listened to the videos in advance. There is a tremendous threat: It's an opportunity, and we must take that as an opportunity.
Henry David Thoreau said that the world is our canvas for our imaginations, so we need to get our imaginations in gear and move forward without restricting ourselves on what we think, “The way we used to do it is the way we need to do it now.” Take a page out of Steve Jobs's book. Why are we doing it this way? It's the way we've always done it. We need to stop that. We need to create new ways, new policies, and we need to embrace.... We need to err on the side of leaning in instead of on the side of, “Well, we need to study that.” If I had a dollar for every time somebody told me I needed to slow down and be more patient, I wouldn't have $140 million because I went and raised money anyway.
The answer is Canada must, if it wants to be a leader in space, lean in on its initiative. Lean in, listen and act outside its typical comfort zone or what policy used to say. That's why I asked and pushed, and so it's come through as a space council, with Space Canada aboard. We must have a national space council. We must have a policy, move quickly and be clear in our objectives. We must leave this planet—because what we do in this life echoes in eternity—for the future generations so they can have access to what I had access to, watching Neil Armstrong walk down the ladder. They don't have that, and they need it: It's our responsibility to make space safer.
