“We are investing in Canada's ability to launch its own spacecraft. It will bring in billions of dollars, create jobs, and make us less dependent on the United States. I want to know why the Conservatives oppose this.”

“Mr. Speaker, establishing Canadian sovereign space launch capabilities is going to drive billions of dollars in investments. It is going to create good-paying jobs, increase Canada’s sovereignty, reduce our economy’s reliance on the United States and support a commercial space launch and re-entry industry that could be worth up to $40 billion. This is what we are investing in, essential capabilities that protect Canada and create massive economic benefits for Canadians. How can the Conservatives be against that?”
