Mr. Speaker, it will cost millions and millions of dollars to fix the dent.
Could the minister confirm that every single hull valve on the HMCS Victoria may have to be replaced, costing millions and millions of dollars? Furthermore, it has come to my attention just this week that at least three of the four subs have potential metal fatigue which could cause catastrophic flooding.
Did the British advise the government of these problems? Could the minister also tell us what the total cost will be?
