Repair work on the fire-ravaged HMCS Chicoutimi won't start until 2010, leaving the Canadian navy short by one submarine and raising concerns about whether the vessel will ever be returned to service.

What a joke, by 2012 those subs will be even more obsolete than they are now and still probably be experiencing "teething problems".
Lets see if Harper actually does something about this - canning the whole program and not putting another dime into them would be a good start, in conjunction with starting & funding a search for a replacement. It's not like we're getting full usage out of the existing "fleet" anyways.
Haven't heard much about the new Cyclone program lately either....
