Federal Transport Minister Freeland slams B.C. Ferries deal with Chinese company

B.C. Ferries has drawn the ire of federal Transport Minister Chrystia Freeland for its decision to contract a Chinese state-owned shipyard to build four new vessels for its passenger fleet.

Freeland also expressed concerns about security risks related to the contract.

In a letter to B.C.’s Transportation Minister Mike Farnworth released Friday afternoon, Freeland expressed her “great consternation and disappointment” with the ferry operator.

Guess she didn’t get her cut.
