Mr. Speaker, today the representatives from the shipbuilding industry from across Canada from coast to coast met with members of this House.
The industry is asking for a fair national shipbuilding policy. The low Canadian dollar is making it harder for this industry to compete. It costs more to build a ship in Canada because of our sagging Canadian dollar. The industry is at a competitive disadvantage with European countries that receive subsidies. Our people are not asking for a subsidy.
Will the Minister of Industry bring in a national shipbuilding policy and put these people back to work?
