I did not really understand the challenges. Could you provide more details on that?
More specifically, what are the challenges associated with getting the best proposals from the best Canadian shipyards? The construction of these specialized vessels requires particular expertise, but we must also ensure that the procurement process takes into account the best value for money. We also need to ensure that all of Canada benefits. It would not do to have just one shipyard benefit by default because the call for tenders is too specific and deliberately aligns with that shipyard's expertise. The process must not target a single shipyard.
What is being done to ensure pan-Canadian representation of expertise?
