Madam Speaker, inexplicably, the government has not yet awarded the contract for the John G. Diefenbaker icebreaker to Davie. That ship should have been built three years ago. Ottawa even had to take the contract away from the company that had won it because it could not start construction. To this day, the feds stubbornly refuse to give the contract to Davie.
As the Liberals well know, Davie is the only shipyard in Canada capable of starting construction now. Davie has the capacity to do it.
Will the government finally announce that it is giving the John G. Diefenbaker contract to Davie?
