Mr. Speaker, yesterday, the minister was conspicuous by his absence. Can someone tell me what planet the Minister of Transport is on, given his statement that we cannot artificially create a need for something that does not exist ? Hello, planet Earth here. The Preserver and the Protecteur are kaput, done.
By ignoring the evidence that we need a second supply ship, the minister is showing contempt for our men and women in uniform and is jeopardizing national security.
When will the Liberals rise and give the Obelix contract to the Davie shipyard, like our government did with the Asterix contract? This is a national security matter and the workers are ready.
