Mr. Speaker, in 2008, the Conservatives decided to cancel the contract to replace the Royal Canadian Navy's supply ships.
Because of these delays, in a few months the navy will find itself without any joint supply ships and may have to stay in port.
Caught off guard, the Conservatives are now going to buy ships that are at the end of their lifespan from the American military. Well done.
Can the Minister of National Defence tell us how much the Conservatives' mismanagement of the supply ships is going to cost Canadians?
