“Mr. Speaker, the new Liberal space bill reads like yet another one-sided deal. Taxpayers would cover the risk, while Liberal friends and wealthy private investors would collect the reward. If launches fail, Canada pays. If they succeed, the profits are privatized. Why is the government proposing building a space program where the public carries the liability but the benefits are reserved for a select few?”
