Re:Ruling on sale of Canadarm delayed

thestar.com, March 20

What a conversion that Liberal Scott Brison should now counsel the Harper Conservatives against selling off Canada's Radarsat-2 technology to a U.S. arms firm.

Let us not forget it was the then-Liberal government that in 2005 penned the Remote Sensing Space Systems Act allowing $445 million of Canadian taxpayers' money to be invested in building Radarsat-2 – but leaving ownership of the technology squarely in MDA's hands. Now witness the result – sensitive, world-leading technology built largely with public funds is at risk of being sold to support American military interests.

Accountability for this crisis belongs with Liberals for signing a bad deal over Radarsat-2, and with the current Conservative government for dithering when they should halt the deal.
