Aerospace Industry
A debate about Canada's aerospace industry. The Conservatives argued the Liberals have done enough damage with their high costs, taxes, spending and job losses. The Liberals claimed a Canadian space launch capability could generate billions and reduce US dependence. Mostly politicians arguing and sniping as usual.
“I want taxpayers to spend billions on space launch in Canada. It will create jobs and make us less dependent on the U.S. I think that's worth $40 billion.”
