Lee Berthiaume, The Canadian PressOttawa is forking over another $187 million to add two years to its lease of a converted civilian ship the navy has been using as a temporary supply vessel while it waits for permanent replacements to finally arrive.
Canada has been without a permanent supply ship since 2015, when the navy was forced to retire its existing two vessels earlier than expected after one caught on fire while at sea and excessive corrosion was discovered on the other. The new deal will see the government pick up two of five one-year options that were included in the original contract.
Navy officials continued to indicate that two support ships were not enough to meet the maritime force’s long-term needs, as the government’s policy requires the military be able to operate two fleets at sea at the same time.
Government management at its finest. lol. What a shitshow.
So about the same as it would have cost to buy it outright in the first place, but instead after another two years, we own nothing. Classic Liberal decision making.
JustinTrudeau failing again
Supply ships,which cannot venture into war zones
Yay liberals!
More Liberal boondoggle?
