Get the minister some vitamin B.(?)

If we start using their technology that we stole from their crashes (from which we didn't return the wreckage or the occupants) isn't that likely to piss them off?

Obviously we must first have a major appropriation with which we (or the minister, if you want to keep it Canadian) can offer to bribe^* recompense them for what we use. Surely they have patent and copyright laws, since those are the mark of advanced civilizations.

^* If they won't take a bribe they can't be all that advanced.
