A spokesperson for the Prime Minister's Office said the countries plan to work together on infrastructure that can receive data from satellites.
Canada and France have pledged to collaborate on space infrastructure, business, and economic growth during a meeting in Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon. Prime Minister Mark Carney and French President Emmanuel Macron discussed the development and sharing of common infrastructure, including space launch systems and ground-based reception facilities.
The regions aim to enhance infrastructure capable of receiving data from satellites. They also plan to strengthen their economic ties, energy transition, and climate resilience efforts. The chambers of commerce of both countries will collaborate to strengthen business connections. The leaders met at a memorial for Free French volunteers who liberated the archipelago in 1941.
The visit comes amid increased tensions with the United States, and Canada and the EU are working towards a new and broader alliance.
