There is a long-standing shipbuilding policy in the country, where major navy, coast guard, and fisheries vessels are built in Canadian ports. You're absolutely right that the feast or famine thing has been extremely difficult for the maritime industries. That is a concern for Industry Canada, and they have discussed it with us.
We would be delighted to have a long-term continuous build for our ships, but you need to have guaranteed long-term funding to continuously build major ships in a reasonable manner. That has always been the challenge. Can you afford it?
You also have to admit that at the 20-year point you will sell your frigates and won't rebuild them or upgrade them, which we have always done. The Germans, the Dutch, and the Americans do not rebuild or upgrade their frigates, for example. They keep them for 20 years, sell them, and build new ships. We have never done that in this country. It's expensive, high-risk, and often doesn't give you the length of service you really need.
