I think the Government needs to call a stop to the new ship program and do an audit of the entire thing. The over runs and costs are completely out of control. We're suddenly paying to do a refit for Irving's ship yard even though they were suppossed to have facilities to build them and any costs to upgrade should have been covered by Irving.

Its ludicrous that we're paying more for a frigate then a modern generation British Aircraft carrier.

There are still questions around the safety and performance of these boats as well.

In a day and age where our Military is trying to find a billion in cuts, this program seems to have a lot of pigs at the trough.
