Mr. Speaker, when the federal government finally appointed Davie as the third partner in the national shipbuilding strategy, we thought things would get better in Quebec City. Has anything changed? No, nothing has changed. The federal government gave Irving nearly $500 million to modernize its shipyard. How much did they give to Davie? Nothing. How many of the seven icebreaker contracts the Prime Minister promised in April during a nice photo op went to Davie? None. It got no subsidies and no contracts. As of today, how many dollars has the federal government committed to Davie?

Mr. Speaker, the federal government gave Irving Oil $500 million in public funds and gave none to Davie. The federal government is investing Quebeckers' money against Quebeckers, but we know how to get things done. Together, Davie and the Government of Quebec invested $840 million to compensate for the federal government's unfairness. Despite Ottawa's inaction, Davie is ready. This government promised $8.5 billion in contracts last April, and 1,800 jobs depend on those contracts. When will Davie get those contracts? We want a date.
