Mr. Speaker, the hon. member refers to the recovery plan, the business plan for the MIL Davie shipyard.
Last week, I had the opportunity to speak with the company's president and I then explained to him the Canadian government's position, namely that the business plan, the recovery plan proposed by the company's management has not yet been approved by the employees because we know the results and what happened with the vote taken by the employees at management's request.
We are still at that stage and are waiting to see if we can really help maintain jobs at MIL Davie, either by having a ship built to replace the Lucy Maud Montgomery or by other means. We are still waiting for a final plan that has been approved not only by the company's management but also by its employees.
