Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Fisheries and Oceans.
Supporters of the Coast Guard in my riding and across Canada are delighted with the budget, providing a $276 million capital investment. John Adams, head of the Coast Guard, said that 10 new ships and the government's commitment is “a watershed moment for the Coast Guard”. I congratulate the minister for his leadership on this issue.
Will the minister indicate that this good news will become even better by having these new ships built in Canada by Canadian workers?
