Mr. Speaker, I will ask the Prime Minister once again: If the shipbuilding policies that the government currently has in place are so good, why has the employment level in coastal communities where there are shipyards plummeted to barely one-third of what it was previously?
The Prime Minister was once a member of parliament for an Atlantic province. When will he convene the Secretary of State for International Financial Institutions, the Minister for International Trade, the Minister of National Revenue and the Minister of Industry so that a statement can be made that something has to be done regarding the shipbuilding industry in Canada?
