I thank the member for her question.
Under the framework agreement signed recently, the program of work now includes the two Transport Canada passenger ferries. Initially, the two ferries were excluded from the framework agreement. However, after the agreement was signed, the decision was made that the two new Transport Canada vessels would be integrated into the program of work. It now includes nine vessels: the two ferries, as well as a polar icebreaker and six program icebreakers for the Canadian Coast Guard.
Other elements of the program of work also need to be taken into consideration. I'd like to point out that Davie is largely responsible for projects under our third pillar, meaning the maintenance and refit of Royal Canadian Navy and Canadian Coast Guard vessels. In a competitive environment, the Davie shipyard will continue to have access to this component of the strategy.
