Thank you, Mr. Ruff.
This is the defence committee, and we've heard all kinds of testimony that we're a little late and a dollar short in our involvement in space. It seems to me that the vulnerabilities from being dependent upon operatives that are outside the country are pretty abundant. I'm sure Ukrainians get a little nervous, when they're dependent upon Elon Musk, as to whether they get or don't get their signals. Similarly, the geopolitics of the United States make one a little nervous about not having the ability to either launch or to do what you do, Mr. Bain. I don't think that message has sunk in with either the political class or Canadians writ large, so sketch out for us what military and security vulnerabilities we leave ourselves open to by not being as involved as we should be.
I'll start with you, Mr. Matier, and then go to Mr. Bain.
