Thank you very much.
Ms. Jaczek, the significant contribution that the National Shipbuilding Strategy can have on the Canadian economy was mentioned earlier.
Currently, one shipyard representing 50% of the shipbuilding workforce in Canada is still waiting for its framework agreement to be signed.
This company is not just a business. It also involves more than 1,300 suppliers across Canada, including several hundred in Quebec. That's 1,300 Canadian suppliers who, through the signing of the framework agreement and the contracts that will follow, will also be able to contribute to the economic strength of Quebec and Canada. The framework agreement was to be signed at the end of 2022. We are now at the end of the first quarter of 2023.
Will the framework agreement be signed soon, and when will it be signed?
