Adjournment Proceedings
In adjournment proceedings, Michael Cooper of the Conservatives raised questions about the government’s lease with Maritime Launch Services for a proposed spaceport in Nova Scotia, saying the government gave about $20 million to a company with no launch history and that the board chair later sold shares for $1.8 million, and asked how this was allowed. Sherry Romanado, a parliamentary secretary, replied that Canada is the only G7 country without its own space launch capability, that the lease followed ethics and safety rules, that it is a low-risk arrangement, and that most of the spending would go to Canadian workers and businesses. The exchange remained focused on this issue.Written by AI from the debate. Updated .
