Liberal on Canadian Space Launch Act 2026-10-23

113 words · 6 sentences · 7 clauses

Replying to Kevin Lamoureux (Liberal)

“Madam Speaker, I appreciate the responses my colleague has been providing. One of the important aspects to recognize is that the province not only supports it but is also investing in it. That speaks volumes in terms of how federal collaboration is ensuring that we have space sovereignty. It does not matter the region of the country. In Winnipeg, we have Magellan, which manufactures satellites. This provides us with even more independence in building an industry that is so vitally important to Canada’s sovereignty. I would like the member to give her thoughts on both or either of those comments.”

Madam Speaker, Reasoning · 73 wordsthe question of our sovereignty, namely economic sovereignty, geographic sovereignty and data sovereignty, has never been more pressing. We have an opportunity here to harness our own talent and our own geography. Part of the conversation here is about this location, its relationship to the Arctic and its orbital advantages, things that much smarter people than me know a lot more about. These three priorities are incredibly important at this moment in time. Claims · 32 wordsWe have an opportunity to serve our own space industry and to invite other countries to launch here, because we are a trusted partner, we are stable and we have the geography. The ask · 8 wordsIt is the time to invest in ourselves.Partly on point
