Before we talk about polar icebreakers, let's go back to the national shipbuilding strategy. This is a good example of what we can do when we have a longer-term vision.

I know something about this, the Davie shipyard is in my backyard. I also visited Seaspan and Irving Shipbuilding over the summer. Larger shipyards provide these vessels for the Canadian Coast Guard and the Royal Canadian Navy. A whole bunch of SMEs supply them, hundreds and hundreds of businesses, thousands of jobs. Just—
