I'm talking about the selection process for the third shipyard to qualify Davie for the construction of large vessels over 1,000 tons.

We issued them a request for proposal this summer and are expecting their proposal in the coming months. This proposal will allow us to begin the financial audit and negotiation process. The ultimate goal is the signing of a framework agreement that will officially qualify Davie as Canada's third largest shipyard for the construction of large vessels.
