Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Thank you to our witnesses.
I have a couple of questions. I want to pick up with Monsieur Da Pont on the movement of the icebreaker St. Laurent, in particular, and the large icebreaking vessels to Newfoundland. The minister appeared at a committee here about a year ago and at that time certainly reassured us there would be no loss of jobs, that the personnel onboard the icebreakers would be moving with them, and they would travel back and forth.
When you speak to the personnel themselves, they're worried their pensionable time may change and they could be in a different job category. Do we have some reassurance for these individuals that the job they're doing now and the rate of pay they're now receiving in their final years before they're pensioned off would remain the same?
