Another input to seemingly endless debate on the need to re-rationalize Canada's shipbuilding industry. How many times do we have to be reminded that shipbuilding in Canada is one of the most politicized activities undertaken. It's been the same for years and unless somebody can find a new way of contracting out government requirements for new ships, it's going to stay intensely political. Everybody wants a slice of the pie and is prepared to complain when they don't get what they think they deserve. Until the politics are taken out of the process, it's going to remain vitriolic. Maybe somebody should figure out the best business model for building government ships, implement it and stick to it!
