The federal government says it is concerned about a publicly owned B.C. ferry companys decision to hire a Chinese state-owned shipyard to build new ferries.

Parliamentary secretary for the transport minister Liberal MP Mike Kelloway made the comments during question period at the House of Commons on June 13, responding to comments from Conservative MP Aaron Gunn, who said B.C. Ferries’ decision this week to hire Chinese state-owned company CMI Weihai to build four major vessels would mean the loss of “thousands of good-paying Canadian jobs.”
