There was good news yesterday as the Harper government announced a five year, $531-million contract extension to repair and upgrade Canada's submarine fleet. The contract was won by Babcock Canada Inc. and much of the work will be done at the department of national defence's Fleet Maintenance Facility in Esquimalt.
