Summary
Mark Carney said Canada and France have directed their space agencies and defense departments to develop and share launch infrastructure, expanding bilateral cooperation into space systems.
Saint-Pierre and Miquelon — the French archipelago off Newfoundland and Labrador — hosted the announcement, with Carney appearing alongside President Emmanuel Macron in Saint-Pierre on Sunday.
No timeline or funding pledge was disclosed, leaving the scope and pace of any joint launch capability unclear.
The move points to closer Canada-France coordination on both civilian space activity and defense-linked infrastructure in the North Atlantic.
