Mr. Speaker, I do not know how many times we can go through this.
If the hon. member were willing to have even a sensible discussion about this issue, he would acknowledge the fact that the shipbuilding industry is in difficulty largely because of the incredible capacity built up world wide. The OECD has forecast that overcapacity could be as much as 40% by the year 2005.
The failure of that party to recognize that there are some fundamental challenges faced by this industry is the reason that it just simply keeps coming back with old time subsidy based ideas to bail out an industry.
