“Canada has a proud history in aerospace. I want to know why the government is wasting $200 million on the industry this year.”
“Mr. Speaker, we have to be proud of our history when we talk about aerospace, because, as my colleague highlighted, we were the fourth country to have a satellite, Alouette I, in 1962, and we were the people who built it. We built the lunar modules’ landing gear in Longueuil, Quebec. Six lunar modules are still up there, each resting on four legs that were made in Longueuil. We should be proud of Canada’s aerospace history and legacy. I would like my colleague’s opinion on the following. How is it that, this year, the federal government is unfortunately misspending $200 million on Canada’s aerospace industry?”
