That's a terrific question. If I could only find it, I have a nice little synopsis on that.
The basic point is that we put a lot of emphasis on Russia and Russian claims of potentially putting nuclear weapons into space. Yes, we should be concerned about that, but nuclear weapons are 70-year-old technology. The Chinese have very disruptive technologies that they've demonstrated and know how to use and deploy. That robo-arm was a real wake-up for the U.S. and the allied defence community. The ability to displace a satellite out of orbit is a pretty sophisticated capability. It's an ability to target disruption rather than this one big bang-and-boom approach that Russia takes.
China has the second-most number of satellites after only the United States, and China has demonstrated that it is a clear peer rival in its investments and capabilities. Where we have disproportionate leverage—and the United States understands this—is by playing together with long-standing key allies that have long-developed space capabilities and investing strategically in those. Of course, the innovation is going to come from private sector investment, which we then need to translate into dual-use and military applications. The problem is that our processes in Canada for doing that are so long. If you look at the U.S., it has changed its defence procurement mechanism precisely to be able to accelerate that exponentially. This is one more reason why we really need to look at our procurement system, which, of course, is one of the department's priorities.
