Again, Mr. Chair, I was disappointed by this decision. This decision predates my serving in government. It was prior to this last election and certainly prior to my appointment as minister.
The CIB is independent of government and makes investment decisions without political interference, as I said earlier. Secondly, there were no Canadian bids for this work. I'm sure folks around the table...we would all like to see this work happening in Canada. There were no bids for that to happen, and BC Ferries made the decision that it made.
