Mr. Speaker, the national shipbuilding strategy is a program that allows us to create and maintain good jobs across the country. Until now, the strategy relied on the Seaspan and Irving shipyards, but we have just learned that Canada now has a third official shipyard, the Davie shipyard in Lévis. Would the Prime Minister expand on this announcement and its importance for Canada's economy?

Mr. Speaker, I thank the member for Châteauguay—Lacolle for her question and for the hard work she does. We recently announced that the Davie shipyard in Lévis has become the third partner under the national shipbuilding strategy. The deal represents $21 billion in economic benefits and 4,500 jobs in the Quebec City region. Davie is already working on the design for six icebreakers and one polar icebreaker, to be built for the Canadian Coast Guard. We will be there for the Davie shipyard and we will be there for the workers of Quebec, in a way the Conservative Party was never able to.
