Mr. Speaker, there is absolutely nothing for workers in the shipbuilding industry in the Liberals' economic statement, even though there is a need. The Royal Canadian Navy needs a modern icebreaker to ensure Canada's sovereignty in the Arctic Archipelago.
It is time for the Liberals to award the Diefenbaker contract to a Canadian shipyard. What are they waiting for?
They should stop hemming and hawing, take action before Christmas and award the Diefenbaker contract.
