“A space company lobbied the government 158 times right before it got 200 million dollars. Its stock price then jumped from five cents to over 60 cents. I think people with inside knowledge made money from this, and I want to know what my colleague thinks.”
“Mr. Speaker, building on the point that my colleague was making, over the last couple of years, Maritime Launch Services lobbied the government 158 times, and most of that was in 2025, right before it got the $200-million payout. If we look at some of the stock activity going on, it was valued at five cents and it jumped to over 60¢. If we look at the incredible value that people who knew what was happening would have gotten because of that, we can clearly see the conflicts and the shenanigans that are going on here behind the scenes. I am wondering what my colleague thinks about that.”
