“I want the Conservatives to support this bill. It will help Canada's economy and security by letting us launch satellites here. Companies like Magellan Aerospace in Winnipeg show how many jobs this industry creates. I want the member to admit this bill is good.”
“Mr. Speaker, the Conservatives really need to focus on the principle of the legislation. This particular legislation would support an industry that is critical for economic growth and security for Canada. It would have an impact on industries, whether the space industry, our aerospace industry, post-secondary facilities or many other indirect industries. There is great potential for growth. The Conservatives should support the principle and recognize that Canada needs a launch site for satellites. Magellan Aerospace, in Winnipeg, employs hundreds of people work. Magellan has a satellite orbiting the earth today. Does the member recognize the value of the legislation and that it may ultimately pass?”
