“We need this bill so Canada can launch its own rockets. Companies want more options to get to space, and our military needs this ability too. This law will help build that industry and bring in new investment.”
“Mr. Speaker, I appreciate the question, but I would advise that the demand for this kind of capability is exactly why we are responding with this legislation. Here is what Kepler had to say: “It is essential that Canada’s sovereign launch capability is globally competitive so it can meet domestic Department of National Defence requirements while also serving global launch demands.” Eutelsat also relied on American firms and facilities to launch 20 satellites. It said that it “always welcomes the prospect of new entrants into the launcher market to increase the options for access to space.” It is the building up of supply that we are doing, in part through the legislation we are enabling here today, that enables the sovereign launch capability we have and also attracts new investment.”
