Mr. Speaker, we have liftoff in Cape Breton—Canso—Antigonish. Last week in my riding, Maritime Launch Services conducted a suborbital space launch in Nova Scotia. This gravitational leap for our province and for Spaceport Nova Scotia brings us one step closer to achieving Canadian sovereign launch capability.
In our near future, it is expected that we will witness an orbital launch on the soil of Cape Breton—Canso—Antigonish. This process will be groundbreaking for our local economy, our national sovereignty and security, and the future of the commercial space industry in Canada. Our region is growing, expanding and building. Nova Scotia is headed into new stratospheres.
I would like to celebrate this achievement of the suborbital launch, and I look forward to supporting the journey to space, often called “the final frontier”. I look forward to Canada's future and, as one famous Canadian once put it, “to boldly go where no man has gone before.”
