I apologize, but that's not what the Canadian Coast Guard official said before our committee, Ms. Campbell. You are completely contradicting the justification he gave for awarding that contract. Who is telling the truth? There is a contradiction here.
Contracts have been awarded based on the criterion whereby any increase in capacity is covered by the owners. Shipyards that had qualified were excluded. However, the score system and federal money may have enabled them to qualify and build vessels. We may not have been here hoping for vessels whose construction has been put off indefinitely, Ms. Campbell.
