At the Canadian Space Agency, we've always felt it was important to support the launch sector, but that's not under our watch. Our mandate is really about space, meaning what happens once you're there. Of course, we've always thought we should use a large country like Canada, with a lot of room, for launches.
I'll give you the example of our stratospheric balloon campaign, if I may. France came to us because it wants to go to the near-space. Space starts at 100 km from the surface of the earth. We can send stratospheric balloons just before that mark, so France approached us. We created a base in Timmins, where we do a lot of science work to eliminate risk and prepare a lot of science components for the International Space Station.
Of course, we look forward to Canada having launch capability. That's why, as I said, we've invested $7 million in launch technologies.
