Canada and United States conclude negotiations on Technology Safeguards Agreement
Minister Sean Fraser has announced that Canada and the United States have concluded substantive negotiations for a Technology Safeguards Agreement.
The Canada-United States TSA, upon its entry into force, will establish the legal and technical safeguards needed to allow the use of U.S. space launch technology, expertise and data for space launches in Canada while ensuring the proper handling of sensitive U.S. technology.
Enabling Canadian space launch capability will support the growth of the commercial space launch industry in Canada, while providing new opportunities for the sector and encouraging innovation and research.
Both sides will now carry out a final review of the negotiated text and seek to obtain necessary domestic authorizations for the signing of the agreement.
