Thanks, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Weiler, thanks for putting that forward.
I think we're down to me, Mr. MacKinnon and Mr. Drouin from the 2015 class on OGGO. Those two will know that I've been for a shipbuilding study for a long time. In general, I do support it.
There are a couple of issues with it, though. Of course, the main estimates dropped very recently, so we have to get to those. I think they're deemed reported at the end of November, so we have to get our estimate studies done. My understanding is also that the supplementary (B)s will possibly be dropped in October as well, which have to be studied as well, so the timing issue doesn't work out well.
I can't support the motion at this time, although I do think we should continue as we had agreed in the last Parliament to the study. Perhaps we could break it up and study the polar icebreaker first because of the rumours of the government going offshore for one, rather than getting moving on the Diefenbaker, which should have been in the water years ago, as many of you know.
At this time, I can't support the motion for the study as written, but certainly I think we can talk among ourselves to get working very soon.
