QUEBEC — The lack of federal contracts for the Davie shipyard near Quebec City is an \u201cinjustice,\u201d Quebec Premier Philippe Couillard said Tuesday as he urged Ottawa to send a strong signal to workers at the facility.<\/p>\n

There are not two but three shipyards in Canada and Davie needs to stay active, the premier told The Canadian Press in an interview.<\/p>\n

Davie recently completed the Asterix supply ship and its workers were expecting an order from Ottawa for a second one.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

But the Canadian Forces decided another ship wasn’t necessary and, as a result, 113 workers were recently told they would be let go, while up to 800 could lose their jobs by Christmas.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe near totality of the contracts has been concentrated in British Columbia and the Maritimes,\u201d Couillard said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have to reverse this and come back to something that is more symmetrical, more just and equal in the awarding of contracts.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said there are plenty of opportunities to send more work Davie’s way such as the upcoming contracts for coast guard ships and the ferry between Prince Edward Island and the Iles-de-la-Madeleine.<\/p>\n

Couillard said Ottawa needs to \u201csend a strong signal\u201d to Quebec’s workers.<\/p>\n

Parti Quebecois Leader Jean-Francois Lisee said Quebecers deserve federal contracts because their tax dollars help fund the military.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf we look back at Quebec’s history with the rest of Canada, never before have we witnessed a greater diversion of Quebec taxpayer dollars to the two coasts of the country,\u201d he said. \u201cIt’s a historic diversion of money.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lisee said there exists a \u201cpolitical will to close Davie.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
