Removed Paragraph re: Procurement History[edit]

This statement is summarized more conscisely in the remaining paragraphs on procurement. Also the role/employment of the vessels is described in the existing preceding paragraphs, without the confusion.

The Mid Shore Patrol Vessel Project has had a complicated procurement history since the class was initially announced on 2 March 2005 by the Government of Canada under Prime Minister Paul Martin. At that time, $276 million was promised, but not budgeted, for a class of two off-shore fisheries research vessels and a class of four mid shore patrol vessels. This was followed on 27 April 2005 by an announcement that an additional four mid shore patrol vessels would be purchased for the Canadian Coast Guard to support the Integrated Border Enforcement Teams (IBETs)NOT correct, this should be MSET (marine security enforcement team), which are jointly staffed by the Canada Border Services Agency, RCMP and CCG on the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence Seaway. This would have created a class with a total of eight mid shore patrol vessels.
