Thank you.
I really share your concerns about the contract awarded to a Chinese builder. I think we felt it. I'm a welder by trade and I feel like I represent Canadian workers in a way. The federal government has been an important partner of Quebec's shipbuilding industry, a sector that creates good jobs in skilled shipbuilding trades and other fields. At a time when our economy's steel, aluminum and softwood lumber industries are struggling, can you tell this committee how you intend to support shipbuilding and ship procurement in Quebec?
