Mr. Speaker, the government has adopted the position of the Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs and International Trade as its own. It has accepted the committee's position, and the committee has already expressed opposition to the weaponization of space.
Cabinet is now preparing to negotiate a project that will lead to just that. I do not know whether the minister is following the intellectual development of my argument. This defence shield project will cost millions of dollars and on top of that we learn that no one, including the government, knows all the details.
Does the Prime Minister not find this premature to say the least, as well as imprudent, to move on this project before these conditions are met?
