Mr. Speaker, Canada has long been a world leader in the space industry and this government has maintained its commitment to the program.
Last year we saw Dr. Thirsk and Dr. Payette providing expertise and leadership aboard the international space station, essential components of which were manufactured in Canada by MacDonald, Dettwiler and Associates Ltd.
This year's budget committed $397 million to develop the RADARSAT Constellation mission.
Would the Minister of Industry inform the House of the crucial work that is being done by our Canadian Space Agency?
