The letter states that, following several months of negotiations between Telesat and federal officials, the Government of Canada (GoC) is prepared to invest $2.14 billion in Telesat Lightspeed by way of a loan to Telesat LEO Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Telesat, that is developing and will own and operate the highly advanced Telesat Lightspeed Low Earth Orbit (LEO) global broadband satellite constellation. Telesat shares T.TSAT are trading up $0.84 at $12.35.
