Perhaps I could stop you there.
The consequences you are talking about are fairly serious. That jeopardizes the navy's operational capacity. With that in mind, I find it incomprehensible that the Davie shipyard was completely excluded in 2011 under the National Shipbuilding Procurement Strategy. As you know, that is the largest dry dock in Canada. The shipyard's production capacities are available now, and its management even told Public Works and Government Services Canada they could help other shipyards that have already been awarded contracts in order to keep up with the demand and help the navy acquire the vessels it needs as quickly as possible.
Would it be possible to use the Davie shipyard at this point to accelerate the vessel acquisition process? That shipyard has the required capacities.
