Mr. Speaker, the government has so bungled the awarding of the Victoria Class submarine repair contract, that it could take years for our subs to be fully functional and it will cost taxpayers millions of dollars in penalties.
This foot dragging negated the winning bid by CSMG and Victoria shipyards in favour of another bidder located where? In the defence minister's riding.
When will the government stop this bungling and award the repair contract based on the original request for proposals.
