Thank you, Madam Chair.
Thank you to all the witnesses for being here.
Madam Campbell, I will start with you.
Canada has world-class expertise in space science, yet this government has recently cancelled what would have been Canada's first rover mission to the surface of the moon, a mission that would have, if launched, been completely run by Canada.
At a time when our allies are racing to establish a presence on the moon, why would Canadians believe that the Canadian Space Agency has a serious long-term strategy for space leadership when a groundbreaking project has just been cancelled?
