“I do not have the exact numbers with me. Building sites like this costs a lot, but it pays off. Experts say the Nova Scotia spaceport could create at least 16,000 jobs and add 300 million dollars to our economy.”
“Madam Speaker, I do not have the details in hand. I would say that, in many cases, these are investments in a site’s potential. Anyone involved in development understands this. Although it is costly, the Conference Board of Canada, now known as Signal49, believes that the Nova Scotia spaceport could create 16,000 jobs and contribute $300 million to the gross domestic product. That is just the minimum. The potential of this investment is enormous.”
