The delivery of the Canadian navy’s new supply ships will be delayed another two years and taxpayers will be hit with more costs, federal officials confirmed Thursday.
The first Joint Supply Ship won’t be delivered until 2025 and the second won’t arrive until 2027, said Simon Page, assistant deputy minister for defence and marine procurement at Public Services and Procurement Canada.
Those dates are two years beyond the last delivery schedule for the vessels being built by the Seaspan shipyard in Vancouver.
