Federal Public Works Minister Diane Finley, who made the announcement at the North Vancouver shipyard on Monday, called the now $38-billion procurement project an "unprecedented investment" by the government.
She said the project will see the shipping industry generate $2 billion a year in economic benefits for Canadians.
"By economic benefits, what I really mean is good, skilled jobs, and even better ... it is at last bringing some long-term stability to this industry," she told a crowd gathered at the Seaspan's North Vancouver's shipyard.
"Those boom-and-bust cycles that have long plagued the Canadian shipbuilding industry are already becoming a thing of the past."
Finley added that the industry is expected to generate more than 15,000 jobs over the next 30 years, including jobs in steel manufacturing, information technology and defence systems.
