VICTORIA (NEWS1130) - Premier Christy Clark says her government wants to help local shipbuilders get a slice of $35 billion worth of shipbuilding contracts up for grabs, thanks to the federal government.
Clark says if Seaspan, the only West Coast contender, wins the contract or at least a part of it, it will mean good things for BC.
"It requires a big commitment from the workers. It requires a big commitment from the company, and it requires a big commitment from all of us here in this legislature."
George MacPherson with BC's Shipyard General Workers Federation says the province is a little late with its support but it's welcome. "The bids actually close July 7, and it will be sometime after that before we actually get word as to what's going on."
MacPherson says the contract could mean up to 20 years of work for 5,000 workers.作者: tiffiant 時間: 2011-5-30 18:47
