OTTAWA (LifeSiteNews) – A Liberal government, Trudeau-era appointed science adviser used taxpayer money, with no oversight, to look into the feasibility of making contact with alien civilizations.
About two years ago, Dr. Mona Nemer, who gets paid $393,000 a year, launched the Sky Canada Project without parliamentary oversight at a cost that has not been disclosed.
As per Blacklock’s Reporter, Nemer, in a draft memo that was exposed via an Access to Information request, assigned seven employees to work on her Sky Canada project, with the goal of looking for extraterrestrial life.
“Why not talk about the elephant in the room, i.e. what is the point of view of most scientists on extraterrestrial life?” the memo asked.
“Not that it doesn’t exist, but there are the problems of distances and timing. Two civilizations might not exist at the same time.”
Of note is that, according to records, all federal agencies in Canada in 1995 stopped using taxpayer money for UFO investigations.
The memo claimed that there were “many” reasons to work on the Sky Canada Project, “like facilitating citizen science that collects observations documenting rare natural phenomena.”
“It aims to optimize the consolidation of all unidentified anomalous phenomena observations in a transparent manner and find competent experts who can offer insightful explanations.”
The records reveal that Nemer’s staff researched countless Wikipedia entries, which of note, anyone in the world can contribute to, make a list entitled Famous Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena Sightings in Canada.
“The project also supports surveillance activities on Canadian territory, for example in the prevention of undetected intrusions,” noted the memo, adding, “It will help curb disinformation and prevent conspiracy theories by making collected information accessible to all.”
Staff from Nemer’s office even contacted the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), as well as weather services, air traffic controllers, to get comments regarding reported UFO incidents.
While it’s true that there have been many documented UFO sightings over the years in Canada and worldwide, Nemer’s project costs have not been disclosed.
According to Canada’s Department of Transport, it gets about 36 UFO reports each year, with many of them being explained away as fireworks or weather balloons.
In 2024, who is a University of Ottawa biochemist, who is a hearing of the House of Commons science committee that her research was needed; however, she did not disclose how much it cost taxpayers.
“The reason we have taken this on is not because we believe one way or the other about extraterrestrials or anything like that,” Nemer said in testimony.
“It’s because we believe it’s important that we have a scientific approach and transparency in how we assemble the information precisely to avoid any conspiracy theories and so on.”
