I've been very clear that I share the dismay, which I think is shared by all members of this committee, about that procurement. In my capacity as Transport Minister, I have done everything under my authorities to ensure, first of all, that operating funding is used for operations only, and second—and I think even more importantly—that, in procurement decisions taken while I am transport minister, we are supporting Canadian manufacturers, steel, aluminum and softwood lumber, and working together to get a real strategy to do that in shipbuilding and in rail.
