Mr. Speaker, the member is an industrious member of the transport committee. I learn more each time I speak with him.
Earlier today, the Minister of Transport told me in response to a question that the people at the Canadian Space Agency would help him make sure that payloads have national security screening. There would be no statutory duty to consult DND or CSIS. The Canadian Space Agency is not a security or intelligence body. It has no statutory mandate to conduct national security investigations. It has expertise but zero authority.
Is the member concerned that the minister would depend on an agency to do something it is not meant to do?
