“The government is paying a company $20 million a year to lease land that the company rents from Nova Scotia for less than $14,000. This company has never launched anything into space. Is this a good use of money?”
“Mr. Chair, the answer is zero. They have zero track record of launching anything into space. The Liberals are paying Maritime Launch Services $20 million a year to lease land that Maritime Launch Services does not even own, which they are leasing from the Province of Nova Scotia for less than $14,000 a year. They are then flipping it to the federal government, earning a 1,300% profit. Is that value for money, yes or no?”
