David McGuinty Liberal
“A fifth of Canada's economy depends on satellites every day. We need them for daily life, the Arctic, and our security. Even though the Conservatives object, we are going to build satellite capabilities.”
“Mr. Speaker, as I was saying before I was so rudely interrupted, 20% of the Canadian economy depends every day on satellites. Whether we are ordering food to our front doors, trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange, mapping our agricultural products in the production system, or deploying AI for firefighting purposes, we need satellite capabilities, and we need secure telecommunications for our Arctic, for our security and for our sovereignty. Guess what. Despite the Conservatives’ objections, we are going to build it.”
