Thank you.
Frankly, I think everyone here is surprised that there wasn't a buy local or buy Canadian directive. Yes, we do think that is a leadership responsibility. We have been clearly raising the alarm about offshore builds for years. Ship procurement isn't decided by unions. It's decided by BC Ferries, its board, and the government. That's where the money comes from. They control the timeline. They need to choose where the work goes. I'm a bit stunned that there wasn't a Canadian content requirement. We're here now because the people in charge didn't act when it mattered for Canadians.
