  30. ‘WHAT’ IS TO BE BUILT - TO BUILD REASONABLY PRICED SHIPS, THE CUSTOMER MUST COME TO THE PARTY - TOO OFTEN GOVERNMENT SHIPS ARE NEEDLESSLY COMPLEX - BUILD SIMPLE―UTILITARIAN―EFFICIENT - ACT AS IF IT IS YOUR OWN MONEY

  36. Global Shipbuilding Practise For many governments, shipbuilding is an important aspect of their national pride and industrial policy. Consequently, the industry worldwide operates in a distorted marketplace.

  37. Challenges For Canadian Shipbuilders European Union - Had direct subsidy until recently - Supportive Government Policy United States - Canadian built commercial vessels prohibited from USA, but US builds enjoy duty free access to Canada. Korea - Previous bailout by government / IMF - Supportive Government Policy China - Very low wage rates and supportive government policy Brazil – Supportive Government Policy

  38. ONLY REASONABLE THAT CANADIANS ARE INVOLVED WITH THE DEVELOPMENT AND PRODUCTION OF THEIR NATURAL RESOURCES. MUST HAVE NATIONAL POLICIES WHICH CREATE A COMPETITIVE DOMESTIC MARKET TO USEFULLY EMPLOY CANADIANS.

  39. GOVERNMENT LEGISTATION ACTION Ensure Canadian Industry Engaged In Building Ships For Resource Development. - The Rest Of The World Does

  40. Current CanadianFederal Government Policy “The federal government will continue to procure, repair and refit vessels in Canada subject to operational requirements and the continued existence of a competitive domestic marketplace”

  41. GOVERNMENT PROCUREMENT ACTION - COMPETITIVE BID PROCESS FOR PROCUREMENT - PRIVATE SECTOR SHIPYARDS RATHER THAN GOVERNMENT SHIPYARDS - UTILIZE THE EXISTING “SURVIVOR” SHIPYARDS; THEY HAVE PASSED THE TEST - IMMEDIATELY COMMENCE PRACTICAL SHIPBUILDING PROJECTS - BUILD NEW GOVERNMENT SHIPS ON A RATIONAL SCHEDULE TO ENSURE CONTINUITY OF WORK
