I would start by saying that part of the justification for the announcement of adding a third shipyard two and a half years ago was to increase the capacity available to deliver all of these ships to the navy and the Coast Guard. I think additional capacity is still needed. There's an awful lot of work to do.
There is a trade-off decision to make in doing that, in that it will complete all the work faster, which means that the long program of work that was originally envisioned—in the beginning for one shipyard, and then it has turned out to be two—will be completed sooner if there isn't follow-on activity. However, adding that extra capacity to provide for icebreaking services at a time when we need to be more concerned than ever, I think, about the security, safety and defence of Canada through our Arctic.... I hope to see that decision come to fruition quickly.
To your comment about the extremes and finding a middle ground, I don't think there are really any options available to Canada where we can cheaply, quickly, and with no trade-offs still buy ships through another mechanism. I have enough confidence in government that if those easy routes existed, we would have chosen to exercise them in the last 12 years.
I think all things about this are tough. It's a question of which trade-off decisions you want to make and how you do your cost-benefit analysis, because there are no simple solutions.
