Mr. Speaker, the opposition is twisting the facts around here. This is a BC Ferries procurement. These ferries were procured by BC Ferries, which is part of B.C. It is important to distinguish between levels of government and arm's length from government with respect to the independent decisions that were made by BC Ferries. Of course, we are all disappointed with the decision because we want to invest in Canadian jobs. We want to invest in the Canadian shipbuilding industry, and we are ramping up the initiative to build Canadian ships.
