Having BC Ferries outsource to another country is inconsequential to everyone except for the local shipbuilders who have these expensive military contracts anyway.

Another factor is that the feds have been trying to balance their budget. Rumour has it that the steams work on the projects have had some artificial delays to ensure a certain cash flow profile over the past two years. That helps the government claim a balanced budget.
From a project management perspective that is never a good thing.
