Distributed over the next five years, the money will be used to increase the number of seafaring personnel in the fleet as well as technical skills for new and current officers.
Minister of Fisheries, Oceans and the Canadian Coast Guard Diane Lebouthillier made the funding announcement on Thursday at the Coast Guard College. In attendance were about two dozen officer cadets and other Coast Guard personnel. The funding announced on Thursday for skills development will help current crews and future ones learn new technologies. These technologies are on new ships being added to Canada's fleet as part of the Canadian government's National Shipbuilding Strategy which was announced previously.
"I am proud to support the Canadian Coast Guard in building its fleet of the future while creating skilled jobs in our shipbuilding and marine industries across the country."
