BC Ferries recently awarded a contract to a Chinese state-owned shipyard to build 4 new major ferries, supported by a $1 billion federal loan. The deal — and the funding behind it — have sparked public debate.
Do you support BC Ferries’ decision to give this contract to a company owned by the Chinese government?
Please consider leaving comments at the bottom of this post regarding what concerns (if any) you have about this deal?
For example-
Should prioritize Canadian industry and jobs?
Is this an example of your Canadian tax dollars supporting a regime?
Are there National security risks?
Are you concerned about possible espionage and transnational repression activities?
Or are you in agreement with the deal and have no major concerns?
