Mr. Speaker, I would be delighted to give my colleague a briefing.
I think she forgot what she heard last spring, and that is that the workers are not waiting for contracts. The shipyard has already been given contracts. Nearly 1,000 people are working at the shipyard as we speak. There will be contracts for the next 20 to 25 years and thousands more workers will be hired, not to mention the tens of thousands of others who will work for the 1,300 suppliers.
That is wonderful news for the Quebec City region, and I would invite my colleague to celebrate that as we are.
