You absolutely are. I sense the palpable anger coming from workers who believe that they have the know-how, if government, like other governments, saw the value in doing it here.
Both David Eby and Mark Carney wrapped themselves in the maple leaf and said they wanted to build Canada strong, to buy Canadian and move faster than we ever have before. One of the things that I know is frustrating to your members is that Seaspan funded economic studies and presented them to BC Ferries in 2023. I believe it's called the Shirocca report. It was done by a consulting group.
BC Ferries has failed to produce those documents—which this particular committee has—which I believe gave an argument for doing it here in Canada. It was an alternative vision. Do you believe that BC Ferries should come clean and submit that evidence so we can have a full conversation about the economic benefits of seeing these ships done in Canada?
