Mr. Speaker, it is very interesting that the member would want on the record my comments about attending Liberal Party conventions. Let me say categorically through you, Mr. Speaker, that I am very proud to have attended all of them that I can remember since 1965.
Unlike the approach of the Bloc members opposite, we on this side of the House no matter where we live or which ridings we represent in Canada, speak as a government on behalf of all Canadians. While the Bloc members have a parochial view of the country and while they want to divide as opposed to unite, we on this side of the House pull together in a way that is meaningful for Canadians no matter where they live in this great country.
I can tell the Bloc that we over time, not only in the past, will continue to support this very important sector of the economy. Shipbuilding is absolutely crucial to Canada. It is fundamental to out very values not only going back through history but also projecting into the future.
We as a government will continue to maintain that kind of approach in the best interests of this very important sector and in the best interests of Canadians wherever they may live.
