If the Minister wishes to talk about Quebec, maybe she could explain to us why a shipyard was built from scratch in Newfoundland, where there was no expertise-as we can see today with the transfer of work to New Brunswick-while the shipyard in Lévis-Lauzon could have done the work instead of being threatened with closure.
The minister is telling us that she is having her arm twisted. As we know, the government withdrew from two other megaprojects, one in Regina and one in Lloydminster, in Saskatchewan.
Why continue to sink billions of dollars in Hibernia, when she actually acknowledges that it will never be profitable?
