The government should just cut bait with the subs at this point. They're in need of constant repair, in short they are brutal. It's time for the politicization of military procurement to end. No single government should be entrusted with it, it's too important to national security to let partisan politics rule. An all party panel with experts should be created immediately to deal with future purchases.
I get that it's nice to have ship building jobs in Vancouver and Halifax but they can't compete with overseas building. We are nearing the point where we will get half the ships planned for the original ship building plan because of delays, upgrades to shipyards and dithering on design.
It's beyond pathetic. It's a slap in the face to those in uniform serving us.
