Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. McCoy mentioned in his statement that he had a long career in shipbuilding and in the U.S. Navy. The U.S. never seems to have the kind of procurement issues and delays that we have currently with the national shipbuilding strategy.
Through you, Mr. Chair, what, in your opinion, is the difference that creates our delays, and what steps can be taken to ensure that the Royal Canadian Navy gets the ships it needs built in a timely manner?
