The Liberals are set to announce within weeks the start of a contest to allow a third shipbuilder to enter the National Shipbuilding Strategy.
"To date, Quebec's Davie shipyard has been blocked because of political considerations. It is good to see that political interests are being set aside to allow Canada to engage Davie to help deliver vessels.”
Both Duclos and Lightbound are Liberals who won their seats by single-digit margins in the generally solidly-blue region of Quebec City, where Davie shipyard is located, and one source with direct knowledge of the situation stressed they and the government have been facing questions about whether they are doing enough to support the shipbuilder.
