Aerospace Industry

In question period on the aerospace industry, Conservative member Jason Groleau said Canada is the only G7 country in a recession, and raised a Nova Scotia arrangement in which a private company with Liberal ties leased provincial land for $13,500 a year and sublet it to the federal government for $20 million a year for ten years; he asked the government to stop what he called wasted spending. Liberal member Sherry Romanado spoke about developing Canadian space launch capability, saying it would bring billions in investment, create well-paying jobs, strengthen sovereignty, reduce dependence on the United States, and support a commercial launch and re-entry sector.Written by AI from the debate.

Mr. Speaker, establishing sovereign space launch capabilities in Canada will generate billions of dollars in investment, create well-paying jobs, strengthen Canada’s sovereignty, reduce our dependence on the United States, and support a commercial space launch and re-entry sector. This could represent as much as $40 billion. That is what we are investing in. These are essential capabilities that protect Canada and generate significant economic benefits for Canadians.
