Madam Speaker, I have a lot of questions for my fellow Yukoner from my former Yukon days but I will narrow them down to specific areas that would help my riding.
First, we all know that the military is severely underfunded in terms of the Sea King replacements and those need to be addressed.
Second, the previous industry minister, Mr. Tobin, had said the government would have a shipbuilding policy. It wrote a booklet called “Breaking Through” and we still do not have a shipbuilding policy which would help the domestic shipbuilding industry, especially in Atlantic Canada.
Third, we know that the Coast Guard, from coast to coast to coast and in central Canada, is in dire straits.
What would the hon. member recommend to his finance minister to correct all three deficiencies prior to the next budget?
