Policy debate: low-earth-orbit satellites and Canadian data sovereignty

Original: Policy Matters: Low-earth-orbit Satellites and Canadian Data Sovereignty

A panel hosted by Dalhousie University's MacEachen Institute for Public Policy & Governance examined how the rapid spread of low-earth-orbit satellite internet services affects Canadian data sovereignty. Speakers explored who controls Canada's communications infrastructure, the risks of relying on foreign-owned satellite networks like Starlink, and what federal policy should do to protect Canadian data as connectivity shifts to space-based providers.

Why now: Growing reliance on foreign satellite internet providers such as Starlink has renewed concern in Canada about control over national data and communications infrastructure.
