We looked at the B.C. ferry project on its own and those three vessels that went to Germany. Those three vessels, built over a period of four years, involved 5,000 jobs--direct and indirect jobs--that were lost to Canada.
They were lost to Canada because clearly the provincial government didn't step up. The Ferry Corporation decided they could get a better deal somewhere else. And they may have got a better deal, but we'll never know that. The B.C. industry was excluded from the bidding process. Therefore you'll never know whether you got the best price or not. The B.C. industry did guarantee they would match the German bid.
Unless there's a clear policy put in place in this country, you're going to see more and more of this going down the road.
