“Canada needs to be able to launch its own spacecraft. It helps our military, tracks wildfires, creates jobs, and brings in billions of dollars. I do not understand why the Conservatives oppose this.”

“Mr. Speaker, establishing Canadian sovereignty of space launch capabilities is essential for us, not only in terms of our defence capabilities, but also in terms of our ability to detect wildfires and atmospheric issues. This is incredibly important for Canada. The premier of Nova Scotia is in support. The industry is in support. This is going to generate billions of dollars in economic returns and create jobs. I do not understand why the Conservatives are against innovation.”

“We need to invest in our military space program. It protects our satellites, helps our armed forces, and gives Canada control over launching things into space. Our allies want us to do this, and I do not understand why the opposition does not support it.”

“Mr. Speaker, as someone who has the Canadian Space Agency in Longueuil, I do not understand why the member opposite is not supporting space domain awareness. This is incredibly important. Our job is to make sure that our forces are ready and resilient when operating in the space domain. We are standing up 3 Canadian Space Division, which will ensure space domain awareness, defend and protect our satellites, and deliver space power in support of military operations. This will allow Canada to have sovereignty in terms of our ability to launch satellites into space. Our allies are asking for this. I do not understand what the problem is.”
