Re open the naval ship yards in halifax and license out the Halifax frigate design to our allies.

Do you mean the shipyard in
Saint John, NB?
Also, there were attempts to sell the Halifax-class design on the international market, but there were no buyers. I know for a fact that Saudi Arabia was one country looking into it; a family member who was close to the potential deal said they were kicking the proverbial tires for an upgraded version even better than what we were building for Canada's navy. The joke at the time (early 90s) was that the Saudis wanted a ship "with all the bells and missiles".
