Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Bezan acknowledged the existential threats that Canada is facing. The solution to many or most of those is going to have an impact on exactly what this study is pertaining to.
In the development of the motion, I did pretty extensive outreach to the stakeholders I've listed in the motion. There is a long list of people who are very eager to have a say on this and to get what they have to say out into the world so that we can better support the work we're doing in space, in DND and in the 3 Canadian Space Division as well.
To compress that into two meetings.... I mean, this isn't a perfunctory study; this is a substantial study. I actually brought it back from what I thought was going to be six meetings to four. This is an extremely meaty topic, and I believe, Mr. Bezan, you'll be at the Halifax International Security Forum in a couple of weeks and we will be hearing about space probably every single day, multiple times a day. I can hardly imagine a more important topic for a timely and substantive study.
