I have a sad story for you, Mr. Speaker. Yesterday, 281 people lost their jobs at the Davie shipyard. Merry Christmas Quebec. What a nice gift from the federal government.
Almost 400 families are now unemployed because the government refuses to give better contracts to the best shipyard in North America. We need contracts right now, not in two weeks.
This week we learned that five ministers are working behind the scenes to help the project move forward. Who, then, could be standing in the way?
Is it senior officials?
Is it the Minister of Finance?
Is it the Treasury Board?
Who is blocking the deal?
