Mr. Speaker, we are asking for changes in the Jones act. The Liberal government has been in power now for six years. The Liberals see the problem. It was not a problem when we were in government because we were supporting shipbuilding. We gave the frigate program. We gave the program to Halifax and to B.C. as well, all across this country. But if they do not change the Jones act, then there should be an act to protect the Canadian shipbuilding industry.
In the House of Commons on May 3rd, 1999. See this statement in context.
