Mr. Speaker, Thanks · 5 words that is an excellent question. Thanks Claims · 113 words We were fortunate to be able to make that extraordinary announcement this summer after years and years of working with Davie, a real gem in our community.1 I worked in the Quebec City area as the president of the chamber of commerce.2 The Davie shipyard is located on the other side of the river, in Lévis.3 Most of its suppliers are from the Quebec City area. The rest of them are from the surrounding areas. I reviewed the list of all of the suppliers and they are from all over Quebec. An announcement like this has a direct impact on a community like Lévis. We are talking about 5,000 workers, 5,000 good jobs.4 Reasoning · 10 words That gives those families predictability because these are long-term contracts. Claims · 10 words It provides predictability for Davie over the very long term. Reasoning · 13 words It will enable business owners to invest in their companies to supply Davie. Positioning · 16 words This is the kind of thing that the government wants to do and that people need. Positioning Partly on point
