Okay, thank you. I appreciate that very much.
We talked about the $43 billion in procurement over the next 30 years. We talked about the number of vessels. But what we really haven't talked about in the shipbuilding industry is the private industry's role here, with the offshore platforms, the offshore supply vessels, the independent ferries, and all of those vessels being built by private companies.
In terms of the future of the shipbuilding industry, the government did step up to the plate. In 2007 we launched a very aggressive procurement policy for Canadian ships that will be built in Canadian yards. I think the two ingredients that we're missing here is the private industry's own ability to put bids into the shipyards and our industry's ability to compete internationally. Because we have a very, very good professional shipbuilding industry in Canada that, when the final barriers come down in 15 years' time, I would expect to be on equal footing with any shipyard anywhere in the world.
