Thank you, Mr. Chair, for giving me the opportunity.
Thank you, Minister. I will make it quick.
As we all know, the national shipbuilding strategy brings enormous economic benefits to our country. It's an extremely important piece for us here on the west coast and for our marine sector. I certainly appreciate it. Our committee is studying shipbuilding. Your predecessor testified at committee numerous times throughout and spoke about the progress made to date on this important file.
Could you please update this committee on Canada's efforts to build ships for the future and what it means for jobs?
