Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you to our guests for joining us today.
I want to get into the NSS program—the national shipbuilding strategy—and talk about Vancouver's Seaspan shipyards, which are very important to our marine sector. My questions are coming to you from Richmond, British Columbia.
With the shipyards being commissioned to build two joint support ships—the first is scheduled to be delivered in 2023—can you please outline the function of these ships within the Royal Canadian Navy?
My question is for Mr. Collins.
