CSA long-term space plan to involve multiple Canadian companies

But Canada has been out of the game for a while and will need to catch-up. Former CSA president Marc Garneau, now a Liberal MP and the critic for science and technology, told CP that the Harper governments have turned their backs on the space industry.

“It was only when MDA was possibly going to be sold to U.S. interests that suddenly the Conservative government woke up and realized it had to pay attention to the industry,” he told CP. “All other countries are moving forward and being quite aggressive in space. The Canadian Space Agency unfortunately is having to deal with static resources, which effectively means you’re going backwards.”
