A report submitted to the Trudeau government last December highlights the problems faced by Canada’s aging coast guard fleet, according to the Globe and Mail.
UBC professor and defence expert Michael Byers says the report should nudge the government into questioning Canada’s shipbuilding strategy, which currently involves just two shipyards.
“The government needs to question following the two-shipyard model,” said Byers. “They recently reaffirmed that commitment, but I think it was a mistake.”
