Mr. Speaker, I would like to congratulate my colleague from Lévis-et-Chutes-de-la-Chaudière for his most interesting speech on shipbuilding in Canada, and in Quebec in particular.
I have always believed that, since it boasts one of the world's finest rivers, Canada could have a shipbuilding industry. It is a leading edge industry. Maritime engineers have told me that we in Canada possess certain advantages for the development of a shipbuilding industry.
I would like to ask my colleague whether he has projected figures for job creation and wealth that would be generated by the development of a shipbuilding industry.
