Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Welcome, gentlemen.
I would like to follow up on the shipbuilding industry. The 10 to 15-year period, if we subtract the three-year period where nothing will change, is really only of 7 to 12 years. You say this will allow the shipbuilding industry, both in Canada and in Quebec, enough time to adjust.
Under the agreement that you negotiated and in view of the potential impact in a rather short period of time — 10 or 15 years is relatively short term — would it be possible for the government to take measures to help the industry to modernize, to implement technological innovations and to take advantage of this adjustment period in order to become competitive on the international market and in the countries covered by the agreement?
