Mr. Speaker, it is unbelievable. With so many steel and shipbuilding jobs at stake, it is beyond belief that the former minister refused to push back and demand that these boats be made in Canada. Canadian unions and shipyards deserve a federal government and provincial governments that believe in them, listen to them and, most importantly, stand up for them.
When BC Ferries first flagged the deal to the federal government, did the former minister not have a duty to inform the House, and I am asking the new part-time minister, or do the Liberals think Canadians cannot handle the truth?
