Madam Chair, I am not sure if the minister is aware, but the contracts at the Davie shipyard are wrapping up. Several hundred employees could be laid off in a few months.
Will the minister do something before these employees lose their job or will he instead watch these Quebeckers of whom he is so proud, but for whom he does next to nothing, from his office in the national capital?
Will he watch them lose their job without lifting a finger, while hundreds of millions of dollars are spent at Fisheries and Oceans Canada and the Department of National Defence?
Our workers from Quebec need that money. I would like some assurances as to the government's intentions.
