The next fleet of navy ships will include components designed by Canadians, Prime Minister Stephen Harper Said.
Harper announced an agreement in Halifax to start building the vessels under the $35-billion federal shipbuilding program.
The Irving shipyard will build 21 combat vessels under its $25-billion deal and the Seaspan Marine Corp. Shipyard will construct seven vessels under its $8-billion contract for non-combat ships. Another $2 billion for smaller vessels is yet to be allocated to another shipyard.
