Lorne Doerkson says he has not seen the BC Ferries deal made last year, but he wants it looked at. "I don't know what the deal looks like," he said, adding that "we would obviously have an interest in seeing that."

Global News BC reported that, according to Doerkson, a new government would examine BC Ferries shipbuilding. His remarks tie the deal to the question of who would be in a position to review it.

Doerkson did not describe the deal's terms in the comments reported by Global News BC, and the report does not detail what the agreement contains. BC Ferries has not been quoted in response.

Any further detail on what Doerkson wants to see, or on the deal itself, would have to come from him or from BC Ferries.
