After this program, which involved the construction of 12 ships, was completed, this government went on to have another 12 ships built; these ships were smaller than the big frigates built during the 1980s (1545) We are continuing this program, which, incidentally, comes under National Defence and not under Transport Canada, as well as programs administered by Industry Canada to ensure a shipbuilding capacity is maintained in Canadian shipyards.
Après la fin de ce programme, qui concernait 12 vaisseaux, ce gouvernement a continué avec la construction de 12 autres vaisseaux plus petits que les grandes frégates construites pendant les années 1980 (1545) On continue ce programme qui relève de la Défense nationale et non de Transports Canada, et on continue aussi les programmes qui relèvent du ministère de l'Industrie, afin d'avoir, au Canada, une capacité dans nos chantiers navals.
