Space is no longer the domain of national space agencies. Today, a
significant majority of space activities are carried out by
non-governmental entities, resulting in the accelerated evolution
of space technologies and their applications. This operational
shift from public to private does not mean, however, that
governments are no longer relevant in this era of New Space. On the
contrary: as the operational role of the state has diminished, its
regulatory role has grown correspondingly. Acknowledging that the
commercial landscape in space is an ever-changing one, this book
explores how the Canadian government has adapted to the new
commercial space landscape and whether it is prepared to fulfil its
authorisation and supervision responsibilities as the regulator of
Canada's space industry. The fundamental research question posed,
therefore, is whether Canada's regulatory framework is appropriate
given the increasing commercialisation of space. To best answer
this question, the book provides a doctrinal analysis of Canada's
historical space policy and current space laws, an empirical survey
of the perspectives of those currently interacting with Canada's
regulatory framework, and a comparative exploration of how other
jurisdictions oversee commercial space activities. Motivated by
legal, moral and economic considerations, the book recommends that
Canada enact a comprehensive national space law and provides an
annotated draft law for this purpose. By doing so, the book intends
to spark a meaningful conversation on how Canada ought to fulfil
its regulatory responsibilities, a topic previously unaddressed in
public and academic discourse.
