Thank you.
Mr. Perry, you talked about capacity, and I was really appreciating that.
I live in Port Alberni. We have the only deep-sea port on the west coast of Vancouver Island. They've been trying to get a dry dock built on federal port lands, and Transport Canada has come back and said that it doesn't have a program for floating dry docks. In the meantime, I was at the Pacific NorthWest Economic Region conference, and they cited that there's about $3 billion in dry dock refurbishment done annually and there's no dry dock space. It's pretty much at capacity from Oregon to Alaska.
Can you talk about how the procurement process is flawed, in that we can identify...? The PBO said the same thing. Because we haven't had a robust shipbuilding sector for years, costs are through the roof compared to those in other countries.
Can you speak about the need for cross-departmental collaborative work to invest in opportunities to expand the shipbuilding sector?
