1
00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:14.519
<v Speaker 1>Thank you for listening to Pictures Media Radio.

2
00:00:25.120 --> 00:00:29.719
<v Speaker 2>Welcome to Policy and Rights, the show about talking to

3
00:00:29.800 --> 00:01:04.079
<v Speaker 2>policy and human rights. Welcome back to Policy and Rights

4
00:01:04.079 --> 00:01:08.560
<v Speaker 2>here in Depictions of Media Radio. I'm your host, Michael Cloggs. Well,

5
00:01:08.640 --> 00:01:15.120
<v Speaker 2>mister Bobier didn't get his way. The Quebec Bloc party

6
00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:19.640
<v Speaker 2>stepped up and said that they would not vote for

7
00:01:19.959 --> 00:01:28.159
<v Speaker 2>non confidence against the Liberal government, thus keeping the Liberal

8
00:01:28.200 --> 00:01:34.120
<v Speaker 2>government in place in at least until election time comes

9
00:01:34.159 --> 00:01:41.239
<v Speaker 2>around again. So we're gonna hear the question answer period

10
00:01:41.640 --> 00:01:52.560
<v Speaker 2>on the rhetoric debate between Justin Trudeau and Pierre Pouvier

11
00:01:53.439 --> 00:01:58.799
<v Speaker 2>as they continue to debate. Hey, he's the Justin Trudeau

12
00:01:58.920 --> 00:02:06.200
<v Speaker 2>is the most expense of prime minister in history versus well,

13
00:02:07.079 --> 00:02:13.479
<v Speaker 2>it's just rhetoric and no plan for the Conservative government.

14
00:02:13.840 --> 00:02:16.599
<v Speaker 2>Again leading back to what I've all what I've been

15
00:02:16.599 --> 00:02:21.599
<v Speaker 2>saying all along, they will Canada needs a plan and

16
00:02:21.759 --> 00:02:25.639
<v Speaker 2>while and as we're looking at the election in the

17
00:02:25.759 --> 00:02:35.439
<v Speaker 2>United States with mister Trump making accusations and the Vice

18
00:02:35.520 --> 00:02:40.039
<v Speaker 2>President Kamala Harris as she does try to put policy

19
00:02:40.319 --> 00:02:44.719
<v Speaker 2>in place, and we need to and as we head

20
00:02:45.520 --> 00:02:50.319
<v Speaker 2>into the last few weeks of that election campaign that

21
00:02:50.439 --> 00:02:54.879
<v Speaker 2>we need to look at seriously at some of the

22
00:02:55.000 --> 00:03:03.039
<v Speaker 2>anti racism bills that Kamala Harris helped put together and

23
00:03:03.199 --> 00:03:07.159
<v Speaker 2>send up for vote. We also need to look at

24
00:03:07.199 --> 00:03:10.960
<v Speaker 2>the ghost gun policy that was developed using a lot

25
00:03:11.039 --> 00:03:16.400
<v Speaker 2>of her research and know how as a prosecutor to

26
00:03:16.520 --> 00:03:21.479
<v Speaker 2>send that into to set that those motions into law,

27
00:03:21.759 --> 00:03:25.240
<v Speaker 2>so the ghost guns can no longer be legal or

28
00:03:25.560 --> 00:03:33.039
<v Speaker 2>be legally attained in the United States. There are other

29
00:03:33.199 --> 00:03:39.400
<v Speaker 2>things that that she has done that that actually push

30
00:03:39.479 --> 00:03:44.240
<v Speaker 2>forward women's health care in in her history, and that

31
00:03:44.800 --> 00:03:47.280
<v Speaker 2>those sort of things need to be taken account for

32
00:03:47.879 --> 00:03:53.520
<v Speaker 2>and pushed forward as folks had head into into the

33
00:03:53.560 --> 00:03:57.599
<v Speaker 2>polls to vote for the next president of the United States.

34
00:04:00.520 --> 00:04:08.840
<v Speaker 2>Back to to to Canada, we're also gonna hear from

35
00:04:08.879 --> 00:04:14.439
<v Speaker 2>a news conference about Jasper as Jasper, Alberta, as we know,

36
00:04:14.599 --> 00:04:20.800
<v Speaker 2>during the summer, had a massive fire. I do heard

37
00:04:20.839 --> 00:04:29.439
<v Speaker 2>from one particular was witness on a train as the

38
00:04:29.519 --> 00:04:33.519
<v Speaker 2>train was sent backwards as they because they got close

39
00:04:34.040 --> 00:04:39.959
<v Speaker 2>the train did get close to the flames and the

40
00:04:39.959 --> 00:04:43.839
<v Speaker 2>the tracks were were impassable. The station was impassable because

41
00:04:44.480 --> 00:04:48.279
<v Speaker 2>of the fire damage. Show was actually done to Jasper.

42
00:04:50.079 --> 00:04:54.839
<v Speaker 2>It is a Canadian treasurer for one, the ice fields

43
00:04:54.920 --> 00:05:01.720
<v Speaker 2>that developed there and as a national park in a

44
00:05:01.839 --> 00:05:08.920
<v Speaker 2>mountain community that the glaciers and the tourism that actually

45
00:05:08.920 --> 00:05:13.279
<v Speaker 2>goes through there are an important, very important gym to

46
00:05:13.480 --> 00:05:24.439
<v Speaker 2>Western Canada and the western part of North America. The

47
00:05:24.480 --> 00:05:29.000
<v Speaker 2>wildlife that is there as like driving through myself seeing

48
00:05:29.000 --> 00:05:34.680
<v Speaker 2>the number of bear, the moose. Actually finally saw saw

49
00:05:34.759 --> 00:05:40.360
<v Speaker 2>a moose up close and personal and in Jasper for

50
00:05:40.399 --> 00:05:43.079
<v Speaker 2>the first time when I saw one is it's like,

51
00:05:43.519 --> 00:05:48.560
<v Speaker 2>what what did majestic sight? To see such a grand animal?

52
00:05:49.279 --> 00:05:53.560
<v Speaker 2>And even the the animals for the time being are

53
00:05:53.720 --> 00:06:03.240
<v Speaker 2>displaced as nature tries to recover, and of course our

54
00:06:03.360 --> 00:06:08.560
<v Speaker 2>human communities need to be rebuilt so that people can

55
00:06:08.839 --> 00:06:20.240
<v Speaker 2>come visit and experience the majority of nature. So we

56
00:06:20.319 --> 00:06:30.160
<v Speaker 2>also need to move forward. Okay, we aren't going to

57
00:06:30.240 --> 00:06:33.000
<v Speaker 2>actually get to listen to we don't have a recording

58
00:06:33.160 --> 00:06:42.720
<v Speaker 2>ready for the press conference that Antano Greer's, the Secretary

59
00:06:42.800 --> 00:06:51.279
<v Speaker 2>General of the United Nations, had before the next you

60
00:06:51.399 --> 00:06:56.800
<v Speaker 2>in General Assembly with the the seventh seventy ninth of

61
00:06:59.560 --> 00:07:09.759
<v Speaker 2>General Assembly for the United Nations and mister Guerris had

62
00:07:09.920 --> 00:07:14.959
<v Speaker 2>had a press conference where he talked about some of

63
00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:21.000
<v Speaker 2>the importance of the of the General Assembly in the

64
00:07:21.120 --> 00:07:27.439
<v Speaker 2>United Nations. He said the Summit of the of the

65
00:07:27.519 --> 00:07:35.680
<v Speaker 2>Future is essential first step towards making global institutions more legitimate, effective,

66
00:07:36.160 --> 00:07:43.680
<v Speaker 2>and fit for the world of today and tomorrow. The

67
00:07:43.800 --> 00:07:49.519
<v Speaker 2>United Nations chief emphasized the critical role of the Summit

68
00:07:49.600 --> 00:07:54.399
<v Speaker 2>of the Future as it was born out of cold

69
00:07:54.639 --> 00:08:01.360
<v Speaker 2>heart fact international challenges are moving faster than our ability

70
00:08:01.480 --> 00:08:06.120
<v Speaker 2>to solve them. Guerrera Is also says that many of

71
00:08:06.120 --> 00:08:11.199
<v Speaker 2>the challenges the world faces today were not on the

72
00:08:11.279 --> 00:08:18.920
<v Speaker 2>radar eighty years ago. When the multilateral institutions were born.

73
00:08:20.480 --> 00:08:27.480
<v Speaker 2>The founders of the U n understood that times would change.

74
00:08:27.199 --> 00:08:38.960
<v Speaker 2>He emphasizes and adding through through values, that the global

75
00:08:38.960 --> 00:08:45.320
<v Speaker 2>institutions are timeless. The institutions themselves cannot be frozen in time.

76
00:08:48.840 --> 00:08:55.159
<v Speaker 2>Garrera said, like our founders, we cannot precisely know what

77
00:08:55.519 --> 00:09:01.320
<v Speaker 2>the future holds, but we don't need a crystal ball

78
00:09:01.480 --> 00:09:07.240
<v Speaker 2>to see the twenty first century challenges require global problem

79
00:09:07.480 --> 00:09:15.639
<v Speaker 2>solving mechanisms that are more effective, networked, and inclusive. That

80
00:09:15.879 --> 00:09:20.720
<v Speaker 2>serious power and balances in the global institutions must be

81
00:09:20.759 --> 00:09:26.799
<v Speaker 2>adjusted and updated, and that our institutions must draw on

82
00:09:27.480 --> 00:09:36.960
<v Speaker 2>the expertise and representation of all humanity. The challenge will

83
00:09:37.000 --> 00:09:43.360
<v Speaker 2>not be overnight, he says, but will start today. He

84
00:09:43.440 --> 00:09:47.799
<v Speaker 2>also goes on to say, when we look at the

85
00:09:47.840 --> 00:09:53.440
<v Speaker 2>work that was done already in preparations for the Summit

86
00:09:53.759 --> 00:10:01.080
<v Speaker 2>of Future, we see a movement in the right direction.

87
00:10:02.879 --> 00:10:08.879
<v Speaker 2>Gerre Is noted a strong language of the Security Council,

88
00:10:09.039 --> 00:10:16.480
<v Speaker 2>reform in a generation and set the governance measures for

89
00:10:16.759 --> 00:10:25.480
<v Speaker 2>technologies including artificial intelligence, a major evans in reform of

90
00:10:26.240 --> 00:10:34.360
<v Speaker 2>international financial architecture, a step change in financing the Sustainable

91
00:10:34.399 --> 00:10:43.200
<v Speaker 2>Development of goals, and a commitment to advance the SDG

92
00:10:43.600 --> 00:10:51.960
<v Speaker 2>stimulus multiplying the resources available to developing countries. Simply put,

93
00:10:52.519 --> 00:10:56.440
<v Speaker 2>the United Nations is, in comparison to the world that

94
00:10:58.360 --> 00:11:04.600
<v Speaker 2>it still has systematically left out an entire continent of countries.

95
00:11:05.519 --> 00:11:13.360
<v Speaker 2>Africa is dramatically underrepresented and has the fewge number of

96
00:11:13.759 --> 00:11:22.320
<v Speaker 2>permanent representatives in the United Nations to date, the U

97
00:11:22.440 --> 00:11:28.840
<v Speaker 2>n Security Council does not have near enough African votes

98
00:11:28.919 --> 00:11:35.000
<v Speaker 2>to talk about issues that that are that are part

99
00:11:35.039 --> 00:11:38.519
<v Speaker 2>of that continent and also as a result, part of

100
00:11:41.240 --> 00:11:47.480
<v Speaker 2>our global community. When we look at certain things that

101
00:11:47.879 --> 00:11:54.519
<v Speaker 2>are going on with the Democratic Republic of the Congo

102
00:11:55.320 --> 00:12:02.559
<v Speaker 2>Sudan and other communities that have either been devastated by

103
00:12:03.200 --> 00:12:07.639
<v Speaker 2>violence or natural disaster and are slow to come back

104
00:12:08.240 --> 00:12:14.200
<v Speaker 2>come back around again. It is because of some of

105
00:12:14.240 --> 00:12:19.600
<v Speaker 2>the resources that are limited to them, because they are

106
00:12:19.879 --> 00:12:30.879
<v Speaker 2>not generally recognized as as prominent as say the United States,

107
00:12:30.919 --> 00:12:38.480
<v Speaker 2>the Russian Federation, or other countries that are definitely a

108
00:12:38.639 --> 00:12:44.200
<v Speaker 2>part of the United Nations Security Council and other and

109
00:12:44.360 --> 00:12:56.200
<v Speaker 2>other institutions that are deep setted into the United Nations. So, uh,

110
00:12:56.320 --> 00:13:02.720
<v Speaker 2>mister Guerra's I wish him lucky in making positive changes

111
00:13:03.159 --> 00:13:09.919
<v Speaker 2>so that African nations and other underdeveloped nations in South

112
00:13:09.960 --> 00:13:16.279
<v Speaker 2>America can also be part of that table that helps

113
00:13:16.519 --> 00:13:23.559
<v Speaker 2>form a earthly community, a human community of the future

114
00:13:23.960 --> 00:13:30.039
<v Speaker 2>as our twenty first century pushes forward. So why don't

115
00:13:30.080 --> 00:13:34.679
<v Speaker 2>we move forward with today's segments as we're going to

116
00:13:34.879 --> 00:13:37.879
<v Speaker 2>go to the question and answer period where we hear

117
00:13:39.600 --> 00:13:46.600
<v Speaker 2>Rhetorican debate between mister Povier and mister Trudeau, and we're

118
00:13:46.600 --> 00:13:51.840
<v Speaker 2>also going to hear what is new and happening from Jasper,

119
00:13:52.240 --> 00:13:55.919
<v Speaker 2>what the federal government is actually trying to accomplish, and

120
00:13:55.960 --> 00:14:06.080
<v Speaker 2>we'll hear more about immigration into Canada as refugees from

121
00:14:06.759 --> 00:14:11.000
<v Speaker 2>once again back to Africa, UH and South America tried

122
00:14:11.039 --> 00:14:14.559
<v Speaker 2>to seek asylum in Canada for a better what they

123
00:14:14.559 --> 00:14:18.080
<v Speaker 2>think is going to be a better life. So here

124
00:14:18.080 --> 00:14:20.720
<v Speaker 2>we go. Question answer period, First.

125
00:14:30.440 --> 00:14:37.879
<v Speaker 3>World question, the honimble leader of the Opposition, We've just

126
00:14:38.000 --> 00:14:41.320
<v Speaker 3>learned that the block will be voting to keep the

127
00:14:41.360 --> 00:14:45.519
<v Speaker 3>most costly prime minister and most centralizing prime minister in

128
00:14:45.679 --> 00:14:49.240
<v Speaker 3>history in power. A government that's doubled the cost of housing,

129
00:14:49.279 --> 00:14:54.360
<v Speaker 3>doubled the national debt, increase the cost of groceries, broken

130
00:14:54.399 --> 00:14:59.279
<v Speaker 3>our immigration system, pushing Quebec to the breaking point. How

131
00:14:59.559 --> 00:15:05.240
<v Speaker 3>can the abandoned Quebecers to prop up this prime minister,

132
00:15:05.320 --> 00:15:10.279
<v Speaker 3>the most costly and centralizing one in our country's history.

133
00:15:11.200 --> 00:15:15.559
<v Speaker 3>Prison the right, honorable Prime Minister perform once again, mister Speaker,

134
00:15:15.639 --> 00:15:19.200
<v Speaker 3>we see the leader of the Opposition is only concerned

135
00:15:19.200 --> 00:15:22.120
<v Speaker 3>about his own political interests and not the interest of

136
00:15:22.159 --> 00:15:26.039
<v Speaker 3>Canadians and Quebecers. That's why we're going to keep investing

137
00:15:26.559 --> 00:15:32.080
<v Speaker 3>in Canadians. We're going to be there for Quebecers with healthcare,

138
00:15:32.440 --> 00:15:38.759
<v Speaker 3>dental care, more childcare places. Instead of proposing cuts and austerity,

139
00:15:39.039 --> 00:15:42.679
<v Speaker 3>which we know the Conservative leader would impose on everyone.

140
00:15:43.159 --> 00:15:45.960
<v Speaker 4>The Honorable Leader of the Opposition.

141
00:15:47.000 --> 00:15:52.080
<v Speaker 3>Canadians interest is in cutting taxes, building houses, fixing the

142
00:15:52.080 --> 00:15:56.320
<v Speaker 3>budget and stopping crime so that Quebecers can bring home

143
00:15:56.360 --> 00:16:03.080
<v Speaker 3>bigger paychecks and pension that will be enough to afford

144
00:16:03.600 --> 00:16:07.960
<v Speaker 3>housing and food. That's after nine years of the Liberal

145
00:16:08.240 --> 00:16:12.120
<v Speaker 3>Bloc coalition. They've doubled the double the cost of living

146
00:16:12.519 --> 00:16:15.960
<v Speaker 3>and broken our immigration system. Why is the Bloc propping

147
00:16:16.080 --> 00:16:22.080
<v Speaker 3>up this expensive and centralizing government. The Honorable Prime Minister,

148
00:16:22.519 --> 00:16:27.320
<v Speaker 3>once again we see the Conservative leader believes in slogans,

149
00:16:27.360 --> 00:16:30.399
<v Speaker 3>but not in Canadians and Quebecers. He doesn't want to

150
00:16:30.480 --> 00:16:33.600
<v Speaker 3>invest to help people with dental care. He doesn't want

151
00:16:33.600 --> 00:16:36.600
<v Speaker 3>to be there to help our seniors, to help young people.

152
00:16:37.399 --> 00:16:41.559
<v Speaker 3>He just wants to cut programs. He voted against our

153
00:16:41.600 --> 00:16:47.159
<v Speaker 3>climate action, against checks that people need, but he wants

154
00:16:47.200 --> 00:16:49.360
<v Speaker 3>nothing to do with that. He's obsessed with his own

155
00:16:49.879 --> 00:16:53.519
<v Speaker 3>thirst for power. We're concerned about Quebecers and Canadians and

156
00:16:53.559 --> 00:16:54.480
<v Speaker 3>we're working for them.

157
00:16:55.960 --> 00:16:59.000
<v Speaker 5>The Honorable Leader at the Opposition, the NP leader sold

158
00:16:59.000 --> 00:17:02.159
<v Speaker 5>out Canadians to so onto a costly coalition that doubled

159
00:17:02.159 --> 00:17:05.440
<v Speaker 5>the debt, doubled the housing costs, sent two million people

160
00:17:05.799 --> 00:17:11.279
<v Speaker 5>to food banks and eighteen hundred ten encampments. He voted

161
00:17:11.319 --> 00:17:14.640
<v Speaker 5>twenty four times for the carbon tax, and since he

162
00:17:14.680 --> 00:17:18.880
<v Speaker 5>did his dramatic video, he has refused to answer forty

163
00:17:18.920 --> 00:17:22.000
<v Speaker 5>times whether he'd vote non confidence. Now that he knows

164
00:17:22.240 --> 00:17:25.119
<v Speaker 5>that the block is going to keep the Liberals in power,

165
00:17:25.720 --> 00:17:29.759
<v Speaker 5>he'll stand up and claim that he's voting against Mister Speaker.

166
00:17:30.039 --> 00:17:32.799
<v Speaker 5>Why won't the NDP stand up when it counts so

167
00:17:32.880 --> 00:17:35.319
<v Speaker 5>that we can end this costly coalition and elect a

168
00:17:35.359 --> 00:17:36.160
<v Speaker 5>common sense.

169
00:17:35.960 --> 00:17:43.279
<v Speaker 6>Government for the Prime Minister takes a coming to ask

170
00:17:43.319 --> 00:17:46.599
<v Speaker 6>the Honible Member from U Westminster, Burnaby Peese to only

171
00:17:46.640 --> 00:17:47.559
<v Speaker 6>take the microphone.

172
00:17:47.599 --> 00:17:49.119
<v Speaker 7>In his voice of rector hands.

173
00:17:51.920 --> 00:17:54.839
<v Speaker 8>The right Honorable Prime Minister, mister Speaker.

174
00:17:55.039 --> 00:17:57.960
<v Speaker 9>Once again, we see that the leader of the opposition

175
00:17:58.359 --> 00:18:02.599
<v Speaker 9>enjoys his political games, enjoys chasing after his own political interests,

176
00:18:02.759 --> 00:18:06.000
<v Speaker 9>and has not a second to care for canadians interests.

177
00:18:06.240 --> 00:18:09.680
<v Speaker 9>He's actually in a bad mood because inflation has come

178
00:18:09.720 --> 00:18:13.480
<v Speaker 9>down for Canadians. He doesn't care about their interests. That's

179
00:18:13.519 --> 00:18:16.000
<v Speaker 9>why we're going to continue to deliver for Canadians.

180
00:18:16.000 --> 00:18:17.640
<v Speaker 10>We're going to continue to step up with.

181
00:18:17.640 --> 00:18:21.119
<v Speaker 9>Investments that are going to support Canadians fight climate change

182
00:18:21.279 --> 00:18:22.640
<v Speaker 9>and build the brighter future for.

183
00:18:22.599 --> 00:18:28.880
<v Speaker 6>Everyone, the all of the leader of the All position.

184
00:18:28.640 --> 00:18:29.160
<v Speaker 11>The Speaker.

185
00:18:29.240 --> 00:18:34.119
<v Speaker 5>After nine years of this costly NDP carbon tax coalition,

186
00:18:35.079 --> 00:18:35.839
<v Speaker 5>what's happened?

187
00:18:36.359 --> 00:18:36.960
<v Speaker 11>What's up?

188
00:18:37.599 --> 00:18:41.680
<v Speaker 5>Taxes up, costs up, crimes up, times up.

189
00:18:41.960 --> 00:18:43.960
<v Speaker 11>Well Canadians need is hope.

190
00:18:43.960 --> 00:18:47.640
<v Speaker 5>By choosing a common sense government that access taxes, builds homes,

191
00:18:47.640 --> 00:18:50.279
<v Speaker 5>fixes the budget, and stops the crimes so they can

192
00:18:50.319 --> 00:18:55.640
<v Speaker 5>earn powerful paychecks and pensions that buy affordable food, gas,

193
00:18:55.680 --> 00:19:00.839
<v Speaker 5>and homes in safe neighborhoods protected by a strong military.

194
00:19:00.960 --> 00:19:02.240
<v Speaker 11>Why can't we bring it home now?

195
00:19:05.720 --> 00:19:10.039
<v Speaker 9>Right, Honorable Prime Ministry, Because that little performance shows just

196
00:19:10.119 --> 00:19:13.160
<v Speaker 9>how much the leader of the Opposition loves his slogans

197
00:19:13.519 --> 00:19:18.759
<v Speaker 9>but actually doesn't perforward any I'm.

198
00:19:18.599 --> 00:19:22.160
<v Speaker 6>Gonna ask, as i'd ask a previous member before, to

199
00:19:22.240 --> 00:19:25.519
<v Speaker 6>please not take the floor unless I recognize I'm going

200
00:19:25.559 --> 00:19:27.839
<v Speaker 6>to ask all members please to allow Member two I

201
00:19:27.839 --> 00:19:30.240
<v Speaker 6>lost Prime minist Right, Honorable Prime Minister, to start from

202
00:19:30.240 --> 00:19:30.519
<v Speaker 6>the top.

203
00:19:31.359 --> 00:19:34.359
<v Speaker 9>Why mister Speaker pointing out the performance of the leader

204
00:19:34.359 --> 00:19:37.440
<v Speaker 9>of the Opposition and his colleagues get all upset because

205
00:19:37.480 --> 00:19:41.000
<v Speaker 9>they know that he doesn't actually care about Canadians. He

206
00:19:41.039 --> 00:19:43.839
<v Speaker 9>doesn't care about the programs we're delivering. He doesn't care

207
00:19:43.880 --> 00:19:46.359
<v Speaker 9>about stepping up to support Canadian He's actually in a

208
00:19:46.359 --> 00:19:49.279
<v Speaker 9>bad mood because inflation has come down to two percent,

209
00:19:49.359 --> 00:19:52.680
<v Speaker 9>mister Speaker, and it ruins his little just inflation slogan.

210
00:19:52.880 --> 00:19:55.640
<v Speaker 9>He is so upset because he's cared about his own

211
00:19:55.640 --> 00:19:57.720
<v Speaker 9>interests and not the interests of.

212
00:19:57.880 --> 00:19:59.680
<v Speaker 10>Canadian We're going to stay.

213
00:20:01.799 --> 00:20:02.000
<v Speaker 12>Well.

214
00:20:02.079 --> 00:20:05.240
<v Speaker 8>He didn't for the runs us to go as slogan.

215
00:20:05.640 --> 00:20:08.000
<v Speaker 8>We'll take this seriously like we always have.

216
00:20:18.279 --> 00:20:21.519
<v Speaker 6>If anyone, if anyone had any doubt, it's definitely Wednesday,

217
00:20:24.240 --> 00:20:26.039
<v Speaker 6>the honorable leader of the all position.

218
00:20:26.000 --> 00:20:26.799
<v Speaker 11>Mister Speaker.

219
00:20:26.920 --> 00:20:32.400
<v Speaker 5>The just inflation tagline works now better than ever after.

220
00:20:35.200 --> 00:20:35.880
<v Speaker 10>He can try to.

221
00:20:35.880 --> 00:20:39.279
<v Speaker 5>Call himself Rocky Balboa eye and play fight songs to

222
00:20:39.359 --> 00:20:42.599
<v Speaker 5>a grandize himself as the star. But the people lined

223
00:20:42.680 --> 00:20:44.799
<v Speaker 5>up at food banks, two million of them every month,

224
00:20:45.240 --> 00:20:47.960
<v Speaker 5>no better. The people who are living in the eighteen

225
00:20:48.039 --> 00:20:52.319
<v Speaker 5>hundred Ontario tent encampments no better. The thirty five home

226
00:20:52.559 --> 00:20:57.200
<v Speaker 5>helmeless encampments and Halifax, the people there know better. They

227
00:20:57.279 --> 00:20:59.920
<v Speaker 5>know that we need to fire this costly carbon tax

228
00:21:00.359 --> 00:21:03.200
<v Speaker 5>coalition so we can elect a common sense government that

229
00:21:03.200 --> 00:21:10.839
<v Speaker 5>will bring it home for them.

230
00:21:11.039 --> 00:21:13.000
<v Speaker 8>The right Honorable Prime Minister actually speaker.

231
00:21:13.079 --> 00:21:16.920
<v Speaker 9>He should loves to declaim about vulnerable people and perform

232
00:21:17.079 --> 00:21:21.720
<v Speaker 9>his empathetic supposed concern. But the reality is he is

233
00:21:21.920 --> 00:21:25.960
<v Speaker 9>using vulnerable people for his own political gains. If he

234
00:21:26.039 --> 00:21:29.559
<v Speaker 9>actually cared about people, he wouldn't have voted against dental

235
00:21:29.599 --> 00:21:33.200
<v Speaker 9>care for seven hundred thousand seniors. He wouldn't have voted

236
00:21:33.519 --> 00:21:38.759
<v Speaker 9>against a child school food policy that's helping families with

237
00:21:38.880 --> 00:21:41.440
<v Speaker 9>eight hundred dollars worth of groceries a year.

238
00:21:41.720 --> 00:21:44.079
<v Speaker 10>These not making the investments of Canadians.

239
00:21:44.200 --> 00:21:47.559
<v Speaker 9>He wants to cut programs make Canadians suffer so he

240
00:21:47.680 --> 00:21:48.720
<v Speaker 9>can sit in the big chair.

241
00:21:58.200 --> 00:22:20.640
<v Speaker 13>I love order order.

242
00:22:23.200 --> 00:22:28.559
<v Speaker 3>Then, the Honorable Member for Beallet Chambli, the Prime Minister

243
00:22:28.759 --> 00:22:35.480
<v Speaker 3>appointed a special Envoy to fight Islamophobia, and she felt

244
00:22:35.480 --> 00:22:40.720
<v Speaker 3>that her terms of reference including it included criticizing Quebec's

245
00:22:40.839 --> 00:22:46.400
<v Speaker 3>universities for not providing for student security. Perhaps we don't

246
00:22:46.400 --> 00:22:52.519
<v Speaker 3>see islamophobia in the same way because some would say

247
00:22:52.519 --> 00:22:56.920
<v Speaker 3>that this position is strictly speaking, a liberal activist and

248
00:22:57.000 --> 00:22:59.519
<v Speaker 3>political position. So I'd like to ask the Prime Minister

249
00:22:59.599 --> 00:23:04.519
<v Speaker 3>what is his definition of Islamophobia?

250
00:23:04.839 --> 00:23:05.839
<v Speaker 4>The right Honorable Prime.

251
00:23:05.640 --> 00:23:10.480
<v Speaker 3>Minister, Mister Speaker, this government recognized that there was a

252
00:23:11.039 --> 00:23:15.480
<v Speaker 3>rise in intolerance of all kinds all across the country,

253
00:23:15.519 --> 00:23:17.839
<v Speaker 3>and we had a duty to recognize that and fight

254
00:23:17.839 --> 00:23:22.000
<v Speaker 3>against it. That's why we appointed a Special Representative against

255
00:23:22.440 --> 00:23:29.079
<v Speaker 3>Islamophobia and also a Special rep against Anti Semitism. And

256
00:23:29.160 --> 00:23:34.039
<v Speaker 3>we also recognize systemic discrimination in our institution. So we

257
00:23:34.119 --> 00:23:37.799
<v Speaker 3>have lots of challenges to face in bringing Canadians together

258
00:23:38.400 --> 00:23:41.640
<v Speaker 3>and in addressing our challenges together to create a more

259
00:23:41.680 --> 00:23:45.200
<v Speaker 3>peaceful and respectful country, the country that we now have.

260
00:23:47.119 --> 00:23:52.759
<v Speaker 4>A member for Ballet chamblee. This is no small thing.

261
00:23:52.960 --> 00:23:57.960
<v Speaker 3>The Prime Minister does not know the definition of Islamophobia.

262
00:23:58.079 --> 00:24:03.359
<v Speaker 3>Does he think that with out a definition, criticizing Quebec

263
00:24:03.519 --> 00:24:14.160
<v Speaker 3>universities reduces Islamophobia somehow? Or does it rather polarize Canadians

264
00:24:14.519 --> 00:24:17.559
<v Speaker 3>and pit them against one another. The right Honorable Prime Minister,

265
00:24:17.960 --> 00:24:20.359
<v Speaker 3>Mister Speaker, as the member of opposite knows full well.

266
00:24:20.559 --> 00:24:24.119
<v Speaker 3>I am a proud Quebecker and I am proud that

267
00:24:24.200 --> 00:24:27.839
<v Speaker 3>the Liberal Party of Canada has more Quebec members than

268
00:24:27.839 --> 00:24:31.599
<v Speaker 3>the block Kibiquada. So we are proud Canadians, proud Quebecers

269
00:24:31.599 --> 00:24:34.599
<v Speaker 3>and we know that in every institution all across country

270
00:24:34.640 --> 00:24:39.440
<v Speaker 3>there are challenges around racism, systemic discrimination and so on,

271
00:24:39.680 --> 00:24:43.240
<v Speaker 3>and we need to address those issues. And that's the

272
00:24:43.279 --> 00:24:46.759
<v Speaker 3>work we're doing because we know everyone should feel included

273
00:24:46.799 --> 00:24:50.759
<v Speaker 3>and respected within our country, and unfortunately we're seeing a

274
00:24:50.920 --> 00:24:53.920
<v Speaker 3>rise in intolerance all across the country.

275
00:24:53.960 --> 00:24:54.519
<v Speaker 4>So it's our.

276
00:24:54.480 --> 00:24:58.319
<v Speaker 3>Duty, all of our duties to come together and listen

277
00:24:58.359 --> 00:25:04.279
<v Speaker 3>to one another, Honorable Member for Hosmond Le Petit Petri.

278
00:25:04.640 --> 00:25:05.359
<v Speaker 4>Mister Speaker.

279
00:25:05.480 --> 00:25:09.839
<v Speaker 3>All over the country, conservative governments are privatizing our healthcare.

280
00:25:10.359 --> 00:25:13.000
<v Speaker 3>They want people to have to pay to see a doctor,

281
00:25:13.000 --> 00:25:15.400
<v Speaker 3>and it's no different in Quebec. But this Prime Minister

282
00:25:15.599 --> 00:25:19.359
<v Speaker 3>is too weak to stand up to the Conservatives and

283
00:25:19.400 --> 00:25:22.480
<v Speaker 3>the people are the ones paying the price. What's it

284
00:25:22.519 --> 00:25:27.000
<v Speaker 3>going to take for him to stand up to defend

285
00:25:27.079 --> 00:25:37.799
<v Speaker 3>the principles of universal public health care right, Honorable Prime Minister,

286
00:25:38.920 --> 00:25:43.400
<v Speaker 3>Mister Speaker. We all know that the NDP is concerned

287
00:25:43.440 --> 00:25:48.759
<v Speaker 3>about progressive values all across the country, but they can't

288
00:25:48.799 --> 00:25:51.640
<v Speaker 3>deliver the goods. We were happy to work with them

289
00:25:51.759 --> 00:25:56.480
<v Speaker 3>to deliver concrete things in healthcare, for in childcare for Canadians,

290
00:25:56.519 --> 00:26:03.599
<v Speaker 3>but unfortunately they're the ones who decided to stop delivering

291
00:26:03.640 --> 00:26:07.319
<v Speaker 3>the goods for Canadians. Progressive things are not always easy

292
00:26:07.440 --> 00:26:10.079
<v Speaker 3>to accomplish, but we will continue fighting to do so.

293
00:26:10.160 --> 00:26:13.400
<v Speaker 3>We will continue to defend our public health care system,

294
00:26:13.400 --> 00:26:15.759
<v Speaker 3>and we will keep investing in the Canadian system.

295
00:26:15.759 --> 00:26:17.480
<v Speaker 4>But unfortunately the NDP can't say the same.

296
00:26:18.240 --> 00:26:21.200
<v Speaker 8>The Honorable Member for coachin Malahatt Langford.

297
00:26:21.279 --> 00:26:24.079
<v Speaker 14>They are failing on healthcare and they are failing on

298
00:26:24.200 --> 00:26:27.119
<v Speaker 14>groceries because one year ago today the Liberals met with

299
00:26:27.240 --> 00:26:32.359
<v Speaker 14>Canada's grocery CEOs and promised to stabilize prices. A year later,

300
00:26:32.480 --> 00:26:36.440
<v Speaker 14>prices are still up. Grocery CEOs are still gouging families

301
00:26:36.599 --> 00:26:39.680
<v Speaker 14>struggling to put food on the table. Meanwhile, the Conservatives

302
00:26:39.720 --> 00:26:42.519
<v Speaker 14>remain silent on grocery greed and they want to give

303
00:26:42.519 --> 00:26:46.279
<v Speaker 14>even more taxpayer money to these CEOs. Canadians are fed up.

304
00:26:46.440 --> 00:26:49.559
<v Speaker 14>They are working harder and falling further behind. Why does

305
00:26:49.599 --> 00:26:53.559
<v Speaker 14>this Prime Minister keep caving to CEOs while Canadians pay

306
00:26:53.799 --> 00:26:54.279
<v Speaker 14>the price?

307
00:26:54.400 --> 00:26:55.279
<v Speaker 15>Here here.

308
00:26:57.720 --> 00:26:59.839
<v Speaker 8>Right, Honorable Prime Minister speak.

309
00:26:59.640 --> 00:27:02.920
<v Speaker 9>From Unfortunately, the NDP is taking a page out of

310
00:27:02.960 --> 00:27:06.599
<v Speaker 9>the Conservative playbook and choosing slogans rather than the hard

311
00:27:06.599 --> 00:27:10.359
<v Speaker 9>work that'll actually help Canadians. We've delivered some of the

312
00:27:10.359 --> 00:27:14.079
<v Speaker 9>more most comprehensive reforms of the Competition Act in order

313
00:27:14.440 --> 00:27:17.599
<v Speaker 9>to hold Big Grocer's account for the work that they're

314
00:27:17.599 --> 00:27:20.400
<v Speaker 9>doing in terms of delivering for Canadians. We've also moved

315
00:27:20.400 --> 00:27:23.519
<v Speaker 9>forward on a national school food program that's putting more

316
00:27:23.519 --> 00:27:26.720
<v Speaker 9>food in the bellies of four hundred thousand kids across

317
00:27:26.759 --> 00:27:29.119
<v Speaker 9>the country as provinces come on board, and is going

318
00:27:29.200 --> 00:27:31.640
<v Speaker 9>to save parents up to eight hundred dollars on their

319
00:27:31.640 --> 00:27:35.240
<v Speaker 9>grocery bills. These are things tangibly that we're busy delivering

320
00:27:35.319 --> 00:27:39.519
<v Speaker 9>while they're playing politics.

321
00:27:39.519 --> 00:27:44.960
<v Speaker 5>The Honorable Leader at the Opposition April thirtieth, twenty fourteen,

322
00:27:45.079 --> 00:27:50.079
<v Speaker 5>Life in Canada, Home of the world's most affluent middle class,

323
00:27:50.480 --> 00:27:56.000
<v Speaker 5>the New York Times. Yet today, almost a decade after that,

324
00:27:56.119 --> 00:27:59.599
<v Speaker 5>NDP liberal Prime Minister has been what he calls the

325
00:27:59.599 --> 00:28:05.519
<v Speaker 5>big Canada's gdpr P per capita is actually down while

326
00:28:05.519 --> 00:28:10.559
<v Speaker 5>the American one is up nineteen percent. His carbon taxes

327
00:28:10.640 --> 00:28:14.720
<v Speaker 5>are strangling growth. How could the solution possibly be to

328
00:28:14.839 --> 00:28:18.079
<v Speaker 5>quadruple the tax to sixty one cents a leader and

329
00:28:18.160 --> 00:28:20.359
<v Speaker 5>send more jobs and businesses south?

330
00:28:23.200 --> 00:28:25.480
<v Speaker 8>The right, Honorable Prime ministrative.

331
00:28:25.599 --> 00:28:29.359
<v Speaker 9>Signor renabed Leader of the Opposition doesn't believe in climate

332
00:28:29.440 --> 00:28:31.960
<v Speaker 9>change and doesn't believe in putting more money in the

333
00:28:32.000 --> 00:28:34.000
<v Speaker 9>pockets of Canadians.

334
00:28:33.319 --> 00:28:34.920
<v Speaker 10>With the Canada Carbon rebate.

335
00:28:35.319 --> 00:28:39.640
<v Speaker 9>How many wildfires, hurricanes, droughts are going to go after

336
00:28:39.680 --> 00:28:44.160
<v Speaker 9>canadians lives and livelihoods before he understands, you can't have

337
00:28:44.200 --> 00:28:47.119
<v Speaker 9>a plan for the economy unless you have a plan

338
00:28:47.200 --> 00:28:48.039
<v Speaker 9>for the environment.

339
00:28:50.559 --> 00:28:52.920
<v Speaker 8>The honorable Leader of the Opposition.

340
00:28:52.680 --> 00:28:55.720
<v Speaker 5>He doesn't have a plan for either, as evidenced by

341
00:28:55.759 --> 00:28:58.559
<v Speaker 5>the fact that he came completely on glued and started

342
00:28:58.839 --> 00:29:03.119
<v Speaker 5>spitting out personal insults and crying liar, liar liars on

343
00:29:03.200 --> 00:29:05.960
<v Speaker 5>your radio station the other day when he learned that

344
00:29:06.039 --> 00:29:10.079
<v Speaker 5>I had pointed to his own government report which showed

345
00:29:10.640 --> 00:29:13.480
<v Speaker 5>that his carbon tax will blow a twenty five to

346
00:29:13.480 --> 00:29:14.759
<v Speaker 5>thirty billion.

347
00:29:14.400 --> 00:29:15.839
<v Speaker 11>Dollar hole in our GDP.

348
00:29:16.640 --> 00:29:20.599
<v Speaker 5>This was from a report that his government tabled in

349
00:29:20.640 --> 00:29:24.039
<v Speaker 5>the House of Commons. If in fact his government is

350
00:29:24.119 --> 00:29:26.680
<v Speaker 5>lying about the true cost of the carbon tax to.

351
00:29:26.680 --> 00:29:28.680
<v Speaker 11>Our economy, then what is the true cost?

352
00:29:30.200 --> 00:29:33.440
<v Speaker 8>The right, honorable current minister, it's a speaker.

353
00:29:33.920 --> 00:29:38.319
<v Speaker 9>The Parliamentary Budget Officer demonstrated that eight out of ten

354
00:29:38.519 --> 00:29:43.400
<v Speaker 9>Canadian families do better with the Canada carbon rebate every

355
00:29:43.480 --> 00:29:46.240
<v Speaker 9>three months than the cost of the Price on Pollution,

356
00:29:46.319 --> 00:29:48.880
<v Speaker 9>And on top of that, Canadians note the Price on

357
00:29:48.960 --> 00:29:52.119
<v Speaker 9>Pollution has brought down our emissions faster than any other

358
00:29:52.200 --> 00:29:54.839
<v Speaker 9>G seven country at the same time as it is

359
00:29:54.880 --> 00:29:56.839
<v Speaker 9>supporting Canadians in the middle.

360
00:29:56.559 --> 00:29:58.039
<v Speaker 10>Class and working hard to join it.

361
00:29:58.240 --> 00:30:01.359
<v Speaker 9>We're going to continue to fightlimate change and invest in

362
00:30:01.400 --> 00:30:04.240
<v Speaker 9>a strong economy for the future while the leader of

363
00:30:04.279 --> 00:30:08.039
<v Speaker 9>the opposition continues to deny clientate change and cut programs

364
00:30:08.039 --> 00:30:09.519
<v Speaker 9>and services a Canadians rely on.

365
00:30:09.680 --> 00:30:14.319
<v Speaker 8>That's great, The honorable leader is the opposition.

366
00:30:13.920 --> 00:30:15.079
<v Speaker 11>Is mister speaker.

367
00:30:15.160 --> 00:30:17.680
<v Speaker 5>You can't sit in the big chair if you can't

368
00:30:17.799 --> 00:30:23.359
<v Speaker 5>read your own government document. The Environment and Climate Change

369
00:30:23.359 --> 00:30:26.799
<v Speaker 5>Canada Carbon Pollution pricing data tabled in this House by

370
00:30:27.000 --> 00:30:30.240
<v Speaker 5>his government said that it will cost between twenty five

371
00:30:30.319 --> 00:30:33.240
<v Speaker 5>and thirty billion dollars in lost GDP.

372
00:30:33.440 --> 00:30:34.759
<v Speaker 11>When this tax is implemented.

373
00:30:35.079 --> 00:30:38.559
<v Speaker 5>A further document tabled by his Environment minister on Carbon

374
00:30:38.599 --> 00:30:41.599
<v Speaker 5>Tax two says there will be another nine billion dollar hole,

375
00:30:41.680 --> 00:30:45.519
<v Speaker 5>for a total of between thirty four and forty billion dollars.

376
00:30:45.559 --> 00:30:48.559
<v Speaker 5>Now he screams that this is all lies. Again, if

377
00:30:48.599 --> 00:30:51.519
<v Speaker 5>his government documents are lying what is the true cost

378
00:30:51.559 --> 00:30:54.119
<v Speaker 5>of the carbon tax to our economy?

379
00:30:56.240 --> 00:30:58.720
<v Speaker 8>The right, Honorable Prime Ministry city fare.

380
00:30:59.079 --> 00:31:02.319
<v Speaker 9>Every Canadian except perhaps the Canadians in the Conservative Party

381
00:31:02.359 --> 00:31:06.000
<v Speaker 9>of Canada, understand that the costs of inaction on climate

382
00:31:06.079 --> 00:31:12.279
<v Speaker 9>change will be catastrophic, not just with wildfires, droughts, floods, hurricanes,

383
00:31:12.559 --> 00:31:18.359
<v Speaker 9>but with lost economic opportunity, lost jobs, lost growth for Canadians.

384
00:31:18.599 --> 00:31:21.680
<v Speaker 9>As we solve the challenges of the twenty first century,

385
00:31:21.920 --> 00:31:24.720
<v Speaker 9>we are choosing to invest in a strong economy for

386
00:31:24.759 --> 00:31:25.200
<v Speaker 9>the future.

387
00:31:25.200 --> 00:31:27.440
<v Speaker 10>We're choosing to fight climate change and.

388
00:31:27.440 --> 00:31:29.559
<v Speaker 9>Develop the solutions of the world's going to need to

389
00:31:29.599 --> 00:31:32.240
<v Speaker 9>do that while the leader of the opposition offers a

390
00:31:32.559 --> 00:31:36.039
<v Speaker 9>do nothing climate change, climate change plan that will cost

391
00:31:36.200 --> 00:31:37.480
<v Speaker 9>Canadians billions.

392
00:31:40.960 --> 00:31:43.839
<v Speaker 5>The Honorable Leader of the Opposition, his carbon tax has

393
00:31:43.920 --> 00:31:48.200
<v Speaker 5>not stopped a single flood, single flood, or single fire

394
00:31:48.680 --> 00:31:52.160
<v Speaker 5>in this country. He has not stopped any natural disasters.

395
00:31:52.200 --> 00:31:56.039
<v Speaker 5>What he has done is driven Canadians into poverty. Quadrupling

396
00:31:56.039 --> 00:32:00.480
<v Speaker 5>the tax to sixty one cents a leader will cause

397
00:32:00.519 --> 00:32:05.559
<v Speaker 5>a nuclear winter for our economy, something that his carbon

398
00:32:05.680 --> 00:32:11.039
<v Speaker 5>tax coalition partners in the NDP have voted to bring about.

399
00:32:11.279 --> 00:32:13.359
<v Speaker 5>So if he really is so confident in a sixty

400
00:32:13.440 --> 00:32:16.359
<v Speaker 5>one cent a leader tax, why doesn't he call a

401
00:32:16.400 --> 00:32:26.720
<v Speaker 5>carbon tax election and let Canadians decide.

402
00:32:24.720 --> 00:32:25.000
<v Speaker 2>The right?

403
00:32:25.079 --> 00:32:27.920
<v Speaker 9>Honorable Crime Minister speak of The problem with the Leader

404
00:32:27.960 --> 00:32:30.519
<v Speaker 9>of the Opposition is he believes in slogans.

405
00:32:30.720 --> 00:32:32.680
<v Speaker 10>He just doesn't believe in climate change.

406
00:32:33.000 --> 00:32:36.680
<v Speaker 9>The fact is our plan to fight climate change is

407
00:32:36.720 --> 00:32:39.559
<v Speaker 9>not just putting more money in the pockets of eight

408
00:32:39.559 --> 00:32:42.440
<v Speaker 9>out of ten Canadians across the country, but he's bringing

409
00:32:42.480 --> 00:32:46.480
<v Speaker 9>down emissions and creating jobs and opportunity for Canadians for

410
00:32:46.599 --> 00:32:52.680
<v Speaker 9>generations to come. His climate change denialism, his do nothing

411
00:32:52.759 --> 00:32:56.400
<v Speaker 9>planned to fight climate change is going to hurt Canadians.

412
00:32:56.640 --> 00:32:59.279
<v Speaker 9>We are going to continue to build a strong economy

413
00:32:59.279 --> 00:33:02.599
<v Speaker 9>for the future because we know fighting climate change is

414
00:33:02.640 --> 00:33:03.079
<v Speaker 9>part of it.

415
00:33:06.559 --> 00:33:08.599
<v Speaker 8>The Honable Leader of the Opposition.

416
00:33:08.160 --> 00:33:09.920
<v Speaker 11>But he's not flight of fighting climate change.

417
00:33:09.920 --> 00:33:12.880
<v Speaker 5>He's driving production out of Canada to more polluting for

418
00:33:12.880 --> 00:33:16.599
<v Speaker 5>foreign jurisdictions rather than our common sense planned to greenlight

419
00:33:16.640 --> 00:33:19.920
<v Speaker 5>green projects that produce more energy around the world that

420
00:33:20.039 --> 00:33:21.119
<v Speaker 5>displays emissions.

421
00:33:21.160 --> 00:33:22.440
<v Speaker 11>That's a common sense approach.

422
00:33:22.480 --> 00:33:25.000
<v Speaker 5>And he still won't to answer the question though, on

423
00:33:25.079 --> 00:33:28.160
<v Speaker 5>the full cost of his two carbon taxes. I've cited

424
00:33:29.079 --> 00:33:33.480
<v Speaker 5>government demart documents tabled in this House that say that

425
00:33:33.559 --> 00:33:37.359
<v Speaker 5>it will total between thirty four and forty billion dollars

426
00:33:37.440 --> 00:33:41.200
<v Speaker 5>per year in lost GDP and jobs. If his government

427
00:33:41.240 --> 00:33:44.119
<v Speaker 5>documents are wrong, then what is the true loss of

428
00:33:44.200 --> 00:33:46.559
<v Speaker 5>GDP as a result of his sixty one cent a

429
00:33:46.599 --> 00:33:47.440
<v Speaker 5>leader carbon tax?

430
00:33:49.640 --> 00:33:53.640
<v Speaker 9>The art honable crime, Minister Speaker, he talks about driving

431
00:33:53.680 --> 00:33:56.200
<v Speaker 9>investment out of Canada, he must be remembering his own

432
00:33:56.279 --> 00:34:00.400
<v Speaker 9>time as minister, because since twenty sixteen, mister Speaker, foreign

433
00:34:00.440 --> 00:34:04.519
<v Speaker 9>direct investment is up sixty percent in this country. Last

434
00:34:04.599 --> 00:34:08.039
<v Speaker 9>year we were third in the world after the US.

435
00:34:07.799 --> 00:34:08.920
<v Speaker 10>At Brazil, which.

436
00:34:08.719 --> 00:34:11.960
<v Speaker 9>Makes US number one for foreign investment.

437
00:34:11.639 --> 00:34:14.000
<v Speaker 10>In the GS. Wendy Perhapita, The.

438
00:34:14.000 --> 00:34:18.119
<v Speaker 9>Reality is, mister Speaker, we are continuing to show the

439
00:34:18.159 --> 00:34:21.880
<v Speaker 9>world that they can have confidence in Canada and in Canadians.

440
00:34:22.199 --> 00:34:25.800
<v Speaker 9>Why doesn't he have confidence in Canadians? Why will he

441
00:34:26.280 --> 00:34:34.519
<v Speaker 9>invest in Canada?

442
00:34:36.000 --> 00:34:39.760
<v Speaker 5>The Honorable Leader the Opposition, Mister Speaker, the Deputy Governor

443
00:34:39.800 --> 00:34:43.960
<v Speaker 5>of the Bank of Canada said, of Canada's investment problems.

444
00:34:43.920 --> 00:34:47.000
<v Speaker 11>Emergency break glass.

445
00:34:47.519 --> 00:34:50.760
<v Speaker 5>Canadian workers get fifty five cents of investment for every

446
00:34:50.840 --> 00:34:54.599
<v Speaker 5>dollar American workers get in only sixty five cent for

447
00:34:54.679 --> 00:34:58.480
<v Speaker 5>every dollar that a OECD worker gets. The gap between

448
00:34:58.519 --> 00:35:01.280
<v Speaker 5>the Canadian and US economy is now at one hundred

449
00:35:01.559 --> 00:35:04.639
<v Speaker 5>year high after nine years of the NDP liberals. So

450
00:35:04.679 --> 00:35:08.360
<v Speaker 5>one last time, his own documents showed that his sixty

451
00:35:08.400 --> 00:35:11.159
<v Speaker 5>one cent a leader carbon tax will blow a forty

452
00:35:11.280 --> 00:35:12.480
<v Speaker 5>billion dollar hole.

453
00:35:12.320 --> 00:35:15.639
<v Speaker 11>In our economy. If that numbers not right, what is

454
00:35:15.679 --> 00:35:16.400
<v Speaker 11>the real number?

455
00:35:19.920 --> 00:35:22.519
<v Speaker 8>The right on a book part, Minister, it's just speaker.

456
00:35:22.599 --> 00:35:25.559
<v Speaker 9>Once again, we see that the leader of the opposition

457
00:35:25.719 --> 00:35:31.519
<v Speaker 9>is frustrated that international economists, climate experts, academics all back

458
00:35:31.880 --> 00:35:34.760
<v Speaker 9>our plan to both fight climate change and grow a

459
00:35:34.800 --> 00:35:38.360
<v Speaker 9>strong economy, while he's stuck with late night far right

460
00:35:38.480 --> 00:35:43.199
<v Speaker 9>conspiracy YouTube videos. The reality is, Misspeaker, we are delivering

461
00:35:43.239 --> 00:35:47.039
<v Speaker 9>concretely to build a stronger future for Canadians, to fight

462
00:35:47.119 --> 00:35:50.440
<v Speaker 9>climate change and to grow the economy, while he is

463
00:35:50.519 --> 00:35:52.960
<v Speaker 9>hiding his head in the sand and refusing to admit

464
00:35:53.039 --> 00:35:54.920
<v Speaker 9>even the climate change is real.

465
00:35:58.159 --> 00:36:03.000
<v Speaker 3>I'm gonna have the animal member for Chambli a unanimous

466
00:36:03.039 --> 00:36:08.039
<v Speaker 3>motion by the Quebec Assembly that education comes under Quebec's

467
00:36:08.159 --> 00:36:14.920
<v Speaker 3>exclusive jurisdiction and hiring professors should be based on merit

468
00:36:15.000 --> 00:36:20.679
<v Speaker 3>and certainly not based on religion. They reiterate that hiring

469
00:36:20.719 --> 00:36:24.360
<v Speaker 3>based on religion is not only discriminatory, but it goes

470
00:36:24.400 --> 00:36:32.840
<v Speaker 3>against state sacralism, and the National Assembly repeats its request

471
00:36:33.920 --> 00:36:42.760
<v Speaker 3>to have the Special Envoy on Islamophobia fired. Un I

472
00:36:42.960 --> 00:36:46.280
<v Speaker 3>just like to remind all members. I know there was

473
00:36:46.320 --> 00:36:49.239
<v Speaker 3>a lot of content in that question and it's difficult

474
00:36:49.320 --> 00:36:54.119
<v Speaker 3>for our interpreters to interpret all of that, and so

475
00:36:54.519 --> 00:36:57.960
<v Speaker 3>we should speak at a speed that's reasonable for our interpreters. Right,

476
00:36:58.000 --> 00:37:01.199
<v Speaker 3>Honable Prime Minister, mister Speaker, let me the crystal clear.

477
00:37:01.679 --> 00:37:05.639
<v Speaker 3>The universities have to hire the best possible people for

478
00:37:05.719 --> 00:37:06.079
<v Speaker 3>the job.

479
00:37:06.199 --> 00:37:07.119
<v Speaker 4>That's their job.

480
00:37:07.480 --> 00:37:12.199
<v Speaker 3>But we also recognize that universities have policies that they've

481
00:37:12.199 --> 00:37:20.119
<v Speaker 3>put in place to ensure that their staff reflect the

482
00:37:20.519 --> 00:37:23.719
<v Speaker 3>diversity of the communities they serve. So I have full

483
00:37:23.800 --> 00:37:28.719
<v Speaker 3>confidence in our universities and we must always keep fighting

484
00:37:28.880 --> 00:37:32.360
<v Speaker 3>systemic discrimination in all our institutions, from coast to coast

485
00:37:32.400 --> 00:37:40.559
<v Speaker 3>to coast. The Honorable Member for Ballet Chamblie, does it

486
00:37:40.599 --> 00:37:45.639
<v Speaker 3>take nine years to learn not to answer questions? The

487
00:37:45.719 --> 00:37:51.920
<v Speaker 3>National Assembly of Quebec unanimously said that your person has

488
00:37:52.000 --> 00:37:56.119
<v Speaker 3>insulted all of us. We're calling for her resignation. Are

489
00:37:56.159 --> 00:38:00.559
<v Speaker 3>you on Miss Gaywabi's position against Beck? Are you on

490
00:38:00.599 --> 00:38:03.960
<v Speaker 3>her side and against the National Assembly of Quebec with

491
00:38:04.000 --> 00:38:05.679
<v Speaker 3>all its elected representatives?

492
00:38:06.480 --> 00:38:09.880
<v Speaker 4>If not let it, let it, let it be known,

493
00:38:11.000 --> 00:38:13.440
<v Speaker 4>says that I have prime minist the right holeve. A

494
00:38:13.519 --> 00:38:14.400
<v Speaker 4>prime minister.

495
00:38:16.639 --> 00:38:21.360
<v Speaker 3>To suggest in this place that a member from Quebec

496
00:38:21.440 --> 00:38:27.920
<v Speaker 3>elected by quebecers does not represent his constituents is an

497
00:38:28.039 --> 00:38:31.320
<v Speaker 3>insult to this very place, and the bloc which was

498
00:38:31.360 --> 00:38:34.639
<v Speaker 3>elected to this place should be ashamed of saying such

499
00:38:34.639 --> 00:38:35.000
<v Speaker 3>a thing.

500
00:38:42.639 --> 00:38:45.480
<v Speaker 4>Then a have chef to Pezition, the leader of the opposition.

501
00:38:45.519 --> 00:38:49.199
<v Speaker 5>Twenty to twenty fourteen, Canadians attracted thirty to one hundred

502
00:38:49.239 --> 00:38:53.639
<v Speaker 5>billion dollars more of American investment than the reverse. In

503
00:38:53.679 --> 00:38:57.360
<v Speaker 5>the last nine years of this NDP liberal government, there

504
00:38:57.400 --> 00:39:00.960
<v Speaker 5>have been four hundred and fifty billion more Canadian dollars

505
00:39:01.000 --> 00:39:01.800
<v Speaker 5>invested in the US.

506
00:39:01.920 --> 00:39:02.679
<v Speaker 11>Then the return.

507
00:39:03.039 --> 00:39:08.360
<v Speaker 5>That's Canadian money building US pipelines, US minds, US businesses

508
00:39:08.440 --> 00:39:12.400
<v Speaker 5>paying American workers with Canadian money. That is the consequence

509
00:39:12.440 --> 00:39:15.320
<v Speaker 5>of a high carbon tax and a high energy price

510
00:39:15.360 --> 00:39:18.960
<v Speaker 5>that drives jobs away. Why when will the Prime minister

511
00:39:19.039 --> 00:39:21.360
<v Speaker 5>learn that is radical plan to hike the tax to

512
00:39:21.480 --> 00:39:27.800
<v Speaker 5>sixty one cents a leader will destroy our economy further, the.

513
00:39:27.840 --> 00:39:29.079
<v Speaker 8>Very honorable Prime ministry.

514
00:39:29.639 --> 00:39:32.679
<v Speaker 9>The problem with that argument, mister speaker, is that the

515
00:39:32.760 --> 00:39:37.840
<v Speaker 9>leader the Opposition doesn't understand that the International Monetary Fund

516
00:39:37.840 --> 00:39:42.000
<v Speaker 9>and others have projected Canada have stronger growth than the

517
00:39:42.079 --> 00:39:45.320
<v Speaker 9>United States next year despite the fact that we have

518
00:39:45.639 --> 00:39:48.840
<v Speaker 9>a price on pollution, or perhaps because of the fact

519
00:39:49.000 --> 00:39:51.760
<v Speaker 9>we have a price on pollution, that is drawing an

520
00:39:51.760 --> 00:39:55.039
<v Speaker 9>investment from around the world in the growing sectors of

521
00:39:55.079 --> 00:40:01.000
<v Speaker 9>the economy to ensure good jobs in mining, an environmental

522
00:40:01.480 --> 00:40:05.639
<v Speaker 9>research in various industries, because we know the.

523
00:40:05.480 --> 00:40:06.800
<v Speaker 10>Future is greener.

524
00:40:11.079 --> 00:40:13.280
<v Speaker 8>The honorable leader at the Opposition.

525
00:40:13.000 --> 00:40:17.320
<v Speaker 5>Our per capita GDP is smaller than it was ten

526
00:40:17.400 --> 00:40:20.960
<v Speaker 5>years ago, perhaps the first time since the Great Depression that.

527
00:40:20.800 --> 00:40:21.559
<v Speaker 11>That has happened.

528
00:40:21.719 --> 00:40:24.719
<v Speaker 5>He's had the worst economic growth since the depression.

529
00:40:25.159 --> 00:40:26.400
<v Speaker 11>The OECD says.

530
00:40:26.400 --> 00:40:28.840
<v Speaker 5>Canada will have the worst economic growth this year and

531
00:40:28.880 --> 00:40:32.280
<v Speaker 5>for the next three decades. Our economy has dropped more

532
00:40:32.360 --> 00:40:38.039
<v Speaker 5>for capita since before COVID than any other G seven country.

533
00:40:39.039 --> 00:40:42.199
<v Speaker 5>Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and

534
00:40:42.320 --> 00:40:47.000
<v Speaker 5>expecting a different result. This Prime Minister wants to quadruple

535
00:40:47.000 --> 00:40:49.760
<v Speaker 5>the carbon tax to sixty one cents a leader, which

536
00:40:49.760 --> 00:40:53.199
<v Speaker 5>will be an economic catastrophe for this country.

537
00:40:55.000 --> 00:40:58.800
<v Speaker 9>The right, Honorable Prime Minister Speaker, with that little performance

538
00:40:58.960 --> 00:41:02.280
<v Speaker 9>just showed is that the leader of the opposition is

539
00:41:02.480 --> 00:41:07.760
<v Speaker 9>using his brokennest argument around Canada to explain why he

540
00:41:07.800 --> 00:41:12.840
<v Speaker 9>would cut dental programs, cut childcare, step away from any

541
00:41:12.840 --> 00:41:16.679
<v Speaker 9>climate action, withdraw support to draw and investment.

542
00:41:17.039 --> 00:41:18.000
<v Speaker 10>That's his excuse.

543
00:41:18.199 --> 00:41:21.199
<v Speaker 9>The problem with that argument, however, mister Speaker, is Canada

544
00:41:21.320 --> 00:41:25.679
<v Speaker 9>actually has the strongest fiscal position of any of the

545
00:41:25.719 --> 00:41:30.280
<v Speaker 9>world's advanced economies, and our choice is putting that strong

546
00:41:30.440 --> 00:41:34.719
<v Speaker 9>fiscal position in service of investment in Canadians, in dental,

547
00:41:34.880 --> 00:41:36.599
<v Speaker 9>in childcare, in pharma, in.

548
00:41:47.679 --> 00:41:49.199
<v Speaker 8>The honorable Leader at the all position.

549
00:41:49.400 --> 00:41:52.920
<v Speaker 5>There he goes again, telling Canadians they've never had.

550
00:41:52.719 --> 00:41:53.760
<v Speaker 11>It so good.

551
00:41:54.079 --> 00:41:56.320
<v Speaker 5>It's never been so good for those two million people

552
00:41:56.360 --> 00:41:59.199
<v Speaker 5>lined up in food banks, for the one million people

553
00:41:59.360 --> 00:42:02.599
<v Speaker 5>every month that go to food banks in Ontario, records

554
00:42:02.599 --> 00:42:07.039
<v Speaker 5>smashing increases in homelessness. By his own admission, after he

555
00:42:07.119 --> 00:42:10.000
<v Speaker 5>promised a food program that hasn't delivered a single meal

556
00:42:10.400 --> 00:42:14.159
<v Speaker 5>despite millions spent on bureaucracy, One in four kids lineup

557
00:42:14.199 --> 00:42:18.039
<v Speaker 5>at food banks, and now the worst, he proposes to

558
00:42:18.159 --> 00:42:24.760
<v Speaker 5>quadruple the carbon taxes on heat, housing, fuel and food.

559
00:42:24.920 --> 00:42:27.599
<v Speaker 5>How much, how much and how much will that take

560
00:42:27.639 --> 00:42:27.960
<v Speaker 5>from our.

561
00:42:27.920 --> 00:42:30.840
<v Speaker 8>Gail the right owner.

562
00:42:30.880 --> 00:42:33.840
<v Speaker 9>Their Prime Ministry is the speaker of the problem that

563
00:42:33.880 --> 00:42:36.559
<v Speaker 9>he will not talk of. The problem he has is

564
00:42:36.599 --> 00:42:40.519
<v Speaker 9>that he cannot admit that the price on pollution puts

565
00:42:40.840 --> 00:42:43.800
<v Speaker 9>more money back in the pockets of middle class Canadians

566
00:42:43.840 --> 00:42:48.320
<v Speaker 9>and those working hard to join it. He continues to

567
00:42:48.480 --> 00:42:51.199
<v Speaker 9>spew the line that Canada is broken and whenever I

568
00:42:51.280 --> 00:42:54.559
<v Speaker 9>point out that we have a strong fiscal balance sheet

569
00:42:54.559 --> 00:42:57.719
<v Speaker 9>that we should be putting in service of programs and

570
00:42:57.760 --> 00:43:01.199
<v Speaker 9>supports for Canadians, he says, no, oh, we need cuts.

571
00:43:01.280 --> 00:43:03.760
<v Speaker 9>That is not the path forward for Canada.

572
00:43:03.800 --> 00:43:04.280
<v Speaker 10>And that's the.

573
00:43:04.360 --> 00:43:07.199
<v Speaker 9>Choice Canadians get to make. Do we go with austerity

574
00:43:07.280 --> 00:43:10.519
<v Speaker 9>and cuts to programs, or do we invest in Canadians

575
00:43:10.639 --> 00:43:16.920
<v Speaker 9>and their future parents?

576
00:43:18.679 --> 00:43:20.079
<v Speaker 8>He humble d at the opposition.

577
00:43:20.719 --> 00:43:24.840
<v Speaker 5>Canadians who can't eat, heat or house themselves are living

578
00:43:24.840 --> 00:43:28.159
<v Speaker 5>in austerity now. And as to his false PMO talking

579
00:43:28.239 --> 00:43:30.719
<v Speaker 5>point about eight out of ten Canadians being better off,

580
00:43:30.760 --> 00:43:35.360
<v Speaker 5>it conveniently excludes the twenty five billion dollars per year

581
00:43:35.719 --> 00:43:39.400
<v Speaker 5>in economic costs that his own government admits that the

582
00:43:39.440 --> 00:43:42.519
<v Speaker 5>carbon tax imposes on Canadians and that's why six and

583
00:43:42.599 --> 00:43:45.280
<v Speaker 5>ten Canadian families and one hundred percent of the middle

584
00:43:45.280 --> 00:43:47.480
<v Speaker 5>class are worse off with his carbon tax.

585
00:43:47.840 --> 00:43:50.800
<v Speaker 11>So his documents show Canadians are worse off.

586
00:43:51.119 --> 00:43:54.800
<v Speaker 5>If he doesn't have confidence in his own government documents,

587
00:43:55.000 --> 00:43:58.280
<v Speaker 5>how can this House have confidence in his government.

588
00:44:00.440 --> 00:44:01.239
<v Speaker 6>To work.

589
00:44:03.519 --> 00:44:04.719
<v Speaker 8>The right, Honorable Prime Minister.

590
00:44:05.320 --> 00:44:09.280
<v Speaker 9>Millions of Canadians across the country have received the Canada

591
00:44:09.480 --> 00:44:13.519
<v Speaker 9>Carbon Rebate checks that puts more money in their pockets

592
00:44:14.000 --> 00:44:18.199
<v Speaker 9>every three months than it costs them on average, climb

593
00:44:18.239 --> 00:44:19.440
<v Speaker 9>on the price on pollution.

594
00:44:19.800 --> 00:44:20.880
<v Speaker 10>That allows us.

595
00:44:20.760 --> 00:44:24.559
<v Speaker 9>Not only to fight climate change and boost our economy

596
00:44:24.679 --> 00:44:28.360
<v Speaker 9>in strong ways that create the innovative solutions that the

597
00:44:28.400 --> 00:44:31.440
<v Speaker 9>world is going to increasingly rely on, but it helps

598
00:44:31.440 --> 00:44:36.159
<v Speaker 9>Canadians with affordability at a challenging time. He would eliminate

599
00:44:36.320 --> 00:44:40.559
<v Speaker 9>those Canada Carbon Rebate checks and put forward no plan

600
00:44:40.760 --> 00:44:43.079
<v Speaker 9>to fight climate change. That's not how you build the

601
00:44:43.119 --> 00:44:46.719
<v Speaker 9>future for Canada.

602
00:44:48.400 --> 00:44:51.199
<v Speaker 8>The Noble Number from Winnipeg Center, Mister Speaker.

603
00:44:51.239 --> 00:44:54.559
<v Speaker 16>Under the Liberals, housing prices in Winnipeg are out of control.

604
00:44:54.800 --> 00:44:57.519
<v Speaker 16>The average rent for a one bedroom suite in Winnipeg

605
00:44:57.760 --> 00:45:01.920
<v Speaker 16>increase over twenty two percent. It's last year the largest

606
00:45:02.039 --> 00:45:05.719
<v Speaker 16>jump in the country. Corporate landlords are buying up affordable

607
00:45:05.760 --> 00:45:08.679
<v Speaker 16>housing and jacking up rents because they know they have

608
00:45:08.800 --> 00:45:11.519
<v Speaker 16>support of both the Liberals and the Conservatives. Why, I

609
00:45:11.519 --> 00:45:14.440
<v Speaker 16>can tell you one thing, mister Speaker. They are not

610
00:45:14.679 --> 00:45:17.719
<v Speaker 16>the answer to our housing crisis. So my question to

611
00:45:17.760 --> 00:45:21.679
<v Speaker 16>the Prime Minister, why is he allowing corporate landlords to

612
00:45:21.800 --> 00:45:22.960
<v Speaker 16>price people out.

613
00:45:22.760 --> 00:45:23.480
<v Speaker 10>Of their homes?

614
00:45:23.639 --> 00:45:23.800
<v Speaker 15>Here?

615
00:45:23.880 --> 00:45:29.400
<v Speaker 8>Here, here, the right honorable Prime Minister is the Speaker.

616
00:45:29.400 --> 00:45:32.119
<v Speaker 9>I very much look forward to working with the NDP

617
00:45:32.320 --> 00:45:36.559
<v Speaker 9>Premier of Manitoba on renter's Bill of Rights. We just

618
00:45:36.639 --> 00:45:41.119
<v Speaker 9>presented a number of measures that will directly help renters,

619
00:45:41.199 --> 00:45:42.480
<v Speaker 9>like ensuring.

620
00:45:42.079 --> 00:45:44.280
<v Speaker 10>That rent is counted.

621
00:45:43.880 --> 00:45:47.480
<v Speaker 9>Towards calculation of credit scores so people can get a mortgage.

622
00:45:47.519 --> 00:45:51.440
<v Speaker 9>By protecting renters from landlords. We recognize, as I'm sure

623
00:45:51.480 --> 00:45:54.800
<v Speaker 9>do the NDP, that that is largely a provincial jurisdiction.

624
00:45:55.039 --> 00:45:57.639
<v Speaker 9>But I'm very glad to hear that the Premier of

625
00:45:57.760 --> 00:46:01.000
<v Speaker 9>NDP at the premium, the NDIP Premier of Manitoba, we'll

626
00:46:01.039 --> 00:46:03.480
<v Speaker 9>be stepping up to work with the federal government on

627
00:46:03.639 --> 00:46:07.440
<v Speaker 9>delivering for Canadians in Manitoba, and indeed right across the country.

628
00:46:07.440 --> 00:46:08.199
<v Speaker 2>We're here.

629
00:46:11.079 --> 00:46:13.239
<v Speaker 8>Beyondable member from Edmonton, Gresba.

630
00:46:14.039 --> 00:46:17.960
<v Speaker 15>What is in provincial jurisdiction is what's happening in Edmonton, Grisba.

631
00:46:18.280 --> 00:46:21.119
<v Speaker 15>Whether federal government is set to bold those hundreds of

632
00:46:21.159 --> 00:46:24.360
<v Speaker 15>homes in my community so that developers get rich. These

633
00:46:24.400 --> 00:46:26.679
<v Speaker 15>homes are on public land and are some of the

634
00:46:26.760 --> 00:46:29.599
<v Speaker 15>last affordable units in my city due to decades of

635
00:46:29.639 --> 00:46:32.920
<v Speaker 15>liberal and conservative cuts. Families like Kim's, a single mom

636
00:46:33.039 --> 00:46:35.920
<v Speaker 15>raising a child with a family with a member with

637
00:46:35.960 --> 00:46:38.880
<v Speaker 15>a disability, is scared she will be homeless. Will the

638
00:46:38.920 --> 00:46:42.599
<v Speaker 15>Prime Minister stop the demovictions, stop selling off land to

639
00:46:42.719 --> 00:46:45.960
<v Speaker 15>rich developers, and build the homes that people can actually afford?

640
00:46:46.679 --> 00:46:50.719
<v Speaker 8>Oh right, honorable Prime Minister is the Speaker.

641
00:46:50.760 --> 00:46:54.320
<v Speaker 9>Our government put forward one of the most ambitious investments

642
00:46:54.320 --> 00:46:56.199
<v Speaker 9>in housing that this country has ever seen.

643
00:46:56.320 --> 00:46:57.960
<v Speaker 10>We are happy to work.

644
00:46:57.719 --> 00:47:00.360
<v Speaker 9>Hand in hand with the NDP to make sure that

645
00:47:00.480 --> 00:47:02.960
<v Speaker 9>public lands get used for affordable housing.

646
00:47:03.119 --> 00:47:05.320
<v Speaker 10>That we're doing everything we can to push.

647
00:47:05.199 --> 00:47:10.119
<v Speaker 9>Back against provinces that are attacking a public affordability of homes.

648
00:47:10.880 --> 00:47:13.159
<v Speaker 9>We would very much like to continue working with the

649
00:47:13.239 --> 00:47:14.199
<v Speaker 9>NDP on this matter.

650
00:47:14.400 --> 00:47:15.159
<v Speaker 10>They're choosing to.

651
00:47:15.079 --> 00:47:18.920
<v Speaker 9>Play politics with the Conservatives and put politics first. We're

652
00:47:18.960 --> 00:47:21.400
<v Speaker 9>going to continue to work to make sure that his

653
00:47:21.559 --> 00:47:24.840
<v Speaker 9>residence in Edmundon Greasebach and indeed right across the country

654
00:47:25.039 --> 00:47:28.480
<v Speaker 9>get better affordability, better homes, because that's what this federal

655
00:47:28.519 --> 00:47:29.519
<v Speaker 9>government is focused on.

656
00:47:34.800 --> 00:47:44.559
<v Speaker 17>Afternoon, everyone, Mono, Steven Dilbuche Compagni, the michel Le Ministre,

<v Speaker 8>Technique.

660
00:47:57.639 --> 00:47:59.599
<v Speaker 17>I would like to start by acknowledging that the land

661
00:47:59.599 --> 00:48:01.599
<v Speaker 17>on which we gathered today is on the traditional and

662
00:48:01.639 --> 00:48:05.159
<v Speaker 17>unseated territory of the Algonquin and Shnabi people who have

663
00:48:05.239 --> 00:48:09.639
<v Speaker 17>lived on these lands since time immemorial. Jasper residents and

664
00:48:09.679 --> 00:48:12.880
<v Speaker 17>local businesses owners continue to face the effects of the

665
00:48:12.880 --> 00:48:16.760
<v Speaker 17>wildfire that devastated the municipality of Jasper and Jasper National

666
00:48:16.800 --> 00:48:21.000
<v Speaker 17>Parks Park almost two months ago. In July. I saw

667
00:48:21.079 --> 00:48:24.880
<v Speaker 17>with my own eyes the incredible devastation, but also the

668
00:48:24.920 --> 00:48:29.719
<v Speaker 17>incredible spirit of cooperation and resiliency from Jasper Rights and

672
00:49:02.599 --> 00:49:06.239
<v Speaker 17>is recovering and rebuilding and they need our help. That's

673
00:49:06.280 --> 00:49:08.199
<v Speaker 17>why today in the House of Commons, the Government of

674
00:49:08.239 --> 00:49:11.440
<v Speaker 17>Canada introduce a bill entitle an Act to amend the

675
00:49:11.559 --> 00:49:15.679
<v Speaker 17>Canada National Parks Act. This important legislation would begin the

676
00:49:15.760 --> 00:49:19.280
<v Speaker 17>transfer of land use, planning and development authorities from Parks

677
00:49:19.320 --> 00:49:23.320
<v Speaker 17>Canada to the Municipality of Jasper and help ensure streamline

678
00:49:23.360 --> 00:49:27.880
<v Speaker 17>decision making where locally elected officials are empowered to make

679
00:49:27.960 --> 00:49:31.960
<v Speaker 17>decisions regarding their community. This puts those important decisions of

680
00:49:32.079 --> 00:49:35.400
<v Speaker 17>the rebuild of Jasper squarely back into the hents where

681
00:49:35.440 --> 00:49:39.239
<v Speaker 17>it belongs in the community. With close support and collaboration

682
00:49:39.320 --> 00:49:43.000
<v Speaker 17>from Parks Canada. Following the devastating wildfire in July, our

683
00:49:43.039 --> 00:49:46.679
<v Speaker 17>government made this a legislative priority for the first week

684
00:49:46.760 --> 00:49:50.360
<v Speaker 17>of the parliamentary session. By enabling the transfer of planning

685
00:49:50.440 --> 00:49:53.159
<v Speaker 17>and development authorities to the municipality, it will make it

686
00:49:53.280 --> 00:49:57.400
<v Speaker 17>possible to give the town of Jasper, businesses and residents

687
00:49:57.639 --> 00:50:01.199
<v Speaker 17>more say to shape the future of the town. Were

688
00:50:01.239 --> 00:50:04.920
<v Speaker 17>committed to remove any and all barriers that impede these efforts.

00:50:54.880 --> 00:50:58.159
<v Speaker 17>time or another to visit the Jasper and witness the

698
00:50:58.239 --> 00:51:02.440
<v Speaker 17>majestic beauty of the town and it's surrounding countryside. Rebuilding

699
00:51:02.519 --> 00:51:05.199
<v Speaker 17>isn't easy, but step by step we will get there.

700
00:51:05.760 --> 00:51:06.079
<v Speaker 10>Together.

701
00:51:06.400 --> 00:51:09.199
<v Speaker 17>We will rebuild Jasper back to being a beautiful mountain

00:51:09.239 --> 00:51:12.199
<v Speaker 17>community in a national park that meets the needs of

703
00:51:12.239 --> 00:51:16.840
<v Speaker 17>local residents, business owners and visitors from all around the world.

704
00:51:17.480 --> 00:51:19.639
<v Speaker 17>I think all members of Parliament can agree to the

705
00:51:19.679 --> 00:51:23.559
<v Speaker 17>importance of this work, regardless of political stripes. That's why

706
00:51:23.599 --> 00:51:26.159
<v Speaker 17>I'm urging all members of the House of Commons to

707
00:51:26.280 --> 00:51:30.159
<v Speaker 17>stand with us to support jasperights. Thank you Mercibuku. I

708
00:51:30.320 --> 00:51:33.480
<v Speaker 17>did forget to introduce Mayor Richard Arlind who's with us

709
00:51:34.159 --> 00:51:36.559
<v Speaker 17>virtually we can see him on screen.

710
00:51:36.599 --> 00:51:38.039
<v Speaker 8>My apologies, Richard, but.

711
00:51:38.440 --> 00:51:39.480
<v Speaker 17>He's here's here with us.

712
00:51:40.079 --> 00:51:44.360
<v Speaker 11>You go Arch, Thank you, Steven, thank you.

713
00:51:44.559 --> 00:51:47.239
<v Speaker 18>I just want to take this opportunity to give a

714
00:51:47.960 --> 00:51:51.119
<v Speaker 18>storemind Canadians on the impact that climate change has had

715
00:51:51.239 --> 00:51:54.719
<v Speaker 18>on our country and sadly the community Jazzper it was

716
00:51:54.719 --> 00:51:57.280
<v Speaker 18>a victim of this this year when we've seen the

717
00:51:57.360 --> 00:52:00.840
<v Speaker 18>devastating impact of climate change and wildfire the result of

718
00:52:00.920 --> 00:52:04.039
<v Speaker 18>what's taken place. But at the same time I want

719
00:52:04.039 --> 00:52:07.199
<v Speaker 18>to reiterate, uh, just a brave action that was taken

720
00:52:08.079 --> 00:52:11.639
<v Speaker 18>during Jasper and the cooperation that was taking place at

721
00:52:11.639 --> 00:52:14.480
<v Speaker 18>all levels of government, all the different agencies, especially when

722
00:52:14.599 --> 00:52:19.639
<v Speaker 18>especially within the Unified Command that actually saved majority of Jasper,

723
00:52:19.840 --> 00:52:23.480
<v Speaker 18>and they deserve the credit for for what they did,

724
00:52:24.119 --> 00:52:28.079
<v Speaker 18>and especially parts Canada for the amazing work the Unified

725
00:52:28.079 --> 00:52:31.360
<v Speaker 18>Command that took place, the heavy urbanstarch and Rescue team

726
00:52:31.400 --> 00:52:34.400
<v Speaker 18>out of Calgary cantask for us too, and or of

727
00:52:34.440 --> 00:52:39.920
<v Speaker 18>Wildfire Service. I do want to also stress that Jasper

728
00:52:40.320 --> 00:52:44.079
<v Speaker 18>was probably the most fire spark fire smart community in

729
00:52:44.360 --> 00:52:48.440
<v Speaker 18>the country. And there are also training exercises that were

730
00:52:48.480 --> 00:52:52.480
<v Speaker 18>also conducted in the previous years that resulted in the

731
00:52:52.599 --> 00:52:56.480
<v Speaker 18>amazing coordination work that actually took place. And the reason

732
00:52:56.519 --> 00:52:59.599
<v Speaker 18>I want to mention this is because it takes significant

733
00:52:59.599 --> 00:53:02.559
<v Speaker 18>effort to making sure that we're going to deal with

734
00:53:02.639 --> 00:53:06.360
<v Speaker 18>the effects of climate change as we move forward. And

735
00:53:06.519 --> 00:53:09.039
<v Speaker 18>during that time, and had the opportunity to drive with

736
00:53:09.360 --> 00:53:13.400
<v Speaker 18>Mayor Ireland to Jasper during during that time, also with

737
00:53:13.519 --> 00:53:18.480
<v Speaker 18>the Premier and many other folks of ministers within and

738
00:53:18.639 --> 00:53:21.280
<v Speaker 18>MLA is from the Alberta government and one of the

739
00:53:21.320 --> 00:53:23.360
<v Speaker 18>things we committed to is making sure that we're going

740
00:53:23.440 --> 00:53:26.239
<v Speaker 18>to deliver for the community of Jasper, and that's exactly

741
00:53:26.320 --> 00:53:28.239
<v Speaker 18>what we did. We run the phone almost immediately with

742
00:53:28.320 --> 00:53:33.039
<v Speaker 18>folks removing red tape very quickly. And that's what today

743
00:53:33.119 --> 00:53:35.239
<v Speaker 18>is about. It's about working together to making sure that

744
00:53:35.280 --> 00:53:37.280
<v Speaker 18>we can move as quickly as possible and do the

745
00:53:37.360 --> 00:53:40.480
<v Speaker 18>rebuild of Jasper. But once again I just want to

746
00:53:40.519 --> 00:53:44.119
<v Speaker 18>take this opportunity to thank all the brave firefighters for

747
00:53:44.199 --> 00:53:46.719
<v Speaker 18>their amazing work for what they did, and also just

748
00:53:46.800 --> 00:53:49.239
<v Speaker 18>for mind Canadians that it does come at a loss

749
00:53:49.360 --> 00:53:54.159
<v Speaker 18>that we did lose one fire firefighter who was battling

750
00:53:54.440 --> 00:53:57.400
<v Speaker 18>the flames in Jasper at this time. So again we

751
00:53:57.440 --> 00:53:59.519
<v Speaker 18>will continue to work work together. There's a lot more

752
00:53:59.559 --> 00:54:01.800
<v Speaker 18>work today and then a lot of good lessons out

753
00:54:01.840 --> 00:54:04.079
<v Speaker 18>of Jasper will be uh talked about and we'll work

754
00:54:04.079 --> 00:54:05.039
<v Speaker 18>together across the country.

755
00:54:05.119 --> 00:54:06.920
<v Speaker 11>Thank you, however, are you ready?

756
00:54:07.119 --> 00:54:11.320
<v Speaker 12>Thanks her Messi, Stephen Messi, harj Andrew Tujo and Plesive

00:54:11.360 --> 00:54:15.599
<v Speaker 12>Mayor your worship, thanks for joining us today. Chelles at

758
00:54:15.639 --> 00:54:25.760
<v Speaker 12>me de Jean Jasper always when newle what business. What

759
00:54:25.880 --> 00:54:29.559
<v Speaker 12>Minister Guibaut and Minister Gould put on the table on

760
00:54:29.679 --> 00:54:31.719
<v Speaker 12>the on the floor of the House today is a

761
00:54:31.800 --> 00:54:33.920
<v Speaker 12>bill that will provide equity to jasperights.

762
00:54:33.960 --> 00:54:34.639
<v Speaker 10>What do I mean by that?

763
00:54:35.039 --> 00:54:37.800
<v Speaker 12>It's going to put into Mayor Ireland and his Council's

764
00:54:37.840 --> 00:54:42.760
<v Speaker 12>hands the ability to fast track the permitting and really

765
00:54:43.320 --> 00:54:46.599
<v Speaker 12>remove any vestige of red tape as it comes to

766
00:54:46.840 --> 00:54:51.119
<v Speaker 12>Jasper rebuilding and beyond that, baff already has these abilities.

767
00:54:51.519 --> 00:54:53.440
<v Speaker 12>It was take it had taken some time to get

768
00:54:53.519 --> 00:54:56.239
<v Speaker 12>Jasper to that point, but as Stephen said, these conversations

769
00:54:56.239 --> 00:54:59.639
<v Speaker 12>started in twenty twenty two, and the the ability to

770
00:54:59.760 --> 00:55:04.039
<v Speaker 12>have these municipal permitting and the ability to manage municipal

771
00:55:04.400 --> 00:55:08.519
<v Speaker 12>lands is critical. Inside the park, Benfits demonstrated that Mayor

772
00:55:08.559 --> 00:55:10.079
<v Speaker 12>and council know how to do this work, and we

773
00:55:10.159 --> 00:55:13.239
<v Speaker 12>want to equip Mayor Ireland and his counselors.

774
00:55:12.719 --> 00:55:13.719
<v Speaker 10>With the ability to do that.

775
00:55:13.840 --> 00:55:19.199
<v Speaker 12>Why because we want to rebuild Jasper quickly, efficiently, safely,

776
00:55:19.400 --> 00:55:21.360
<v Speaker 12>and to do that, we want to make sure that

777
00:55:21.480 --> 00:55:24.079
<v Speaker 12>we put in Mayor Ireland's hands all of the powers

778
00:55:24.119 --> 00:55:27.719
<v Speaker 12>he can have as a municipality governed by the Municipal

779
00:55:27.760 --> 00:55:30.960
<v Speaker 12>Governance Act in the Government of Alberta and following all

780
00:55:30.960 --> 00:55:33.199
<v Speaker 12>the rules and regulations that apply. But we need to

781
00:55:33.199 --> 00:55:36.320
<v Speaker 12>give Mayor Ireland the flexibility he needs to get jass

782
00:55:36.400 --> 00:55:37.920
<v Speaker 12>rights back on their feet. And I want to thank

783
00:55:38.400 --> 00:55:41.480
<v Speaker 12>Harje and your team and the swift work that you

784
00:55:41.599 --> 00:55:44.599
<v Speaker 12>did in your role as Minister of Emergency Preparedness, like

785
00:55:45.000 --> 00:55:48.400
<v Speaker 12>you worked very closely with Minister Lowen, with Minister Ellis,

786
00:55:48.519 --> 00:55:52.440
<v Speaker 12>with the Premier. And I have been now twice to

787
00:55:52.559 --> 00:55:55.320
<v Speaker 12>the Unified Command. It was something to behold. Andrew, I

788
00:55:55.360 --> 00:55:57.400
<v Speaker 12>think you and I were both there there twice. Steven,

789
00:55:57.440 --> 00:55:59.519
<v Speaker 12>you and I were there once and to see everybody

790
00:56:00.119 --> 00:56:02.679
<v Speaker 12>rowing in the same direction, regardless of where they come

791
00:56:02.719 --> 00:56:06.480
<v Speaker 12>from and Parks Canada, personnel from every corner of this

792
00:56:06.639 --> 00:56:10.639
<v Speaker 12>country leaning in and demonstrating what it means to stick

793
00:56:10.719 --> 00:56:13.800
<v Speaker 12>up for a community that was devastated, losing thirty percent

794
00:56:13.840 --> 00:56:17.119
<v Speaker 12>of its buildings, a disproportionate effect on the residents. And

795
00:56:17.400 --> 00:56:20.159
<v Speaker 12>now they need parliamentarians to row in the same direction.

796
00:56:20.679 --> 00:56:23.119
<v Speaker 12>We need every single party to give us unanimous consent

797
00:56:23.480 --> 00:56:25.760
<v Speaker 12>so that we can get this bill over the line,

798
00:56:25.840 --> 00:56:29.039
<v Speaker 12>turn it into law and give Mayor Island the powers

799
00:56:29.079 --> 00:56:31.960
<v Speaker 12>that he needs to support Jasper. This is an important

800
00:56:31.960 --> 00:56:35.039
<v Speaker 12>step along the road to rebuilding. We're going to rebuild

801
00:56:35.119 --> 00:56:38.440
<v Speaker 12>Jasper better than ever before. As a former Minister of Tourism,

802
00:56:38.719 --> 00:56:41.239
<v Speaker 12>I can say and as a kid growing up in Alberta,

803
00:56:41.280 --> 00:56:45.159
<v Speaker 12>in Edmonton, Jasper was our closest national park. I remember

804
00:56:45.280 --> 00:56:48.280
<v Speaker 12>going with my grandparents to Jasper. I remember being in

805
00:56:48.280 --> 00:56:50.000
<v Speaker 12>Whistler campground. We didn't have a lot of money. We

806
00:56:50.039 --> 00:56:52.079
<v Speaker 12>had tents, and then then we got it. We upgraded

807
00:56:52.119 --> 00:56:54.480
<v Speaker 12>to like a tent trailer and we thought we won

808
00:56:54.559 --> 00:56:57.679
<v Speaker 12>the lottery. And quite frankly, those are the memories that

809
00:56:57.760 --> 00:57:00.880
<v Speaker 12>I want for future generations. I want Jasper back. It

810
00:57:01.039 --> 00:57:04.239
<v Speaker 12>is a gem in the Crown of our national parks.

811
00:57:04.320 --> 00:57:07.960
<v Speaker 12>It is our second most popular park, largest by land mass.

812
00:57:08.119 --> 00:57:10.039
<v Speaker 12>We owe it to Mayor Ireland Jazz rights in the

813
00:57:10.119 --> 00:57:11.760
<v Speaker 12>world to bring Jasper back.

814
00:57:11.679 --> 00:57:25.199
<v Speaker 19>To Michelle College Port Agmati pouval O Mayer, Ireland, a conkipev.

817
00:57:32.599 --> 00:57:34.840
<v Speaker 4>Like to turn over to his worship Mayor Richard Ireland.

818
00:57:38.079 --> 00:57:38.920
<v Speaker 8>Well, good afternoon.

819
00:57:39.480 --> 00:57:43.239
<v Speaker 20>Thank you very much Minister Bosso for that kind introduction,

820
00:57:43.440 --> 00:57:47.840
<v Speaker 20>and and thank you minister Administers Gigo and Sajan for

821
00:57:47.920 --> 00:57:51.920
<v Speaker 20>your previous visits to Jasper and for your continuing sported.

822
00:57:52.280 --> 00:57:56.079
<v Speaker 20>It really is appreciated on behalf of the entire community

823
00:57:56.119 --> 00:57:58.400
<v Speaker 20>of Jasper. I want to take this opportunity to fake

824
00:57:58.639 --> 00:58:03.679
<v Speaker 20>thank the federal government for today's really significant initiative. As

825
00:58:03.719 --> 00:58:08.360
<v Speaker 20>a municipality, we have always valued the opportunity to increase

826
00:58:08.440 --> 00:58:11.960
<v Speaker 20>our role in planning and development in a matter of course,

827
00:58:12.079 --> 00:58:15.719
<v Speaker 20>consistent with our unique form of shared jurisdiction with our

828
00:58:15.760 --> 00:58:21.719
<v Speaker 20>federal partners. That partnership has been instrumental in shaping the

829
00:58:21.840 --> 00:58:26.360
<v Speaker 20>Jasper that we know today, a community deeply rooted in

830
00:58:26.519 --> 00:58:31.920
<v Speaker 20>its national park heritage. Today we so welcome a legislative

831
00:58:32.199 --> 00:58:35.000
<v Speaker 20>change that will set the stage to allow us to

832
00:58:35.119 --> 00:58:39.119
<v Speaker 20>take on greater responsibilities in land use planning and development.

833
00:58:40.079 --> 00:58:43.760
<v Speaker 20>This is a tremendously significant step forward for Jasper and

834
00:58:43.920 --> 00:58:47.599
<v Speaker 20>it comes, as you know, an absolutely crucial time for

835
00:58:47.679 --> 00:58:52.320
<v Speaker 20>our community. As you all know, this summer's wildfires have

836
00:58:53.119 --> 00:58:59.039
<v Speaker 20>severely tested our resilience. But now with this legislative support,

837
00:59:00.000 --> 00:59:03.320
<v Speaker 20>so we are in a much stronger position to continue

838
00:59:03.360 --> 00:59:08.320
<v Speaker 20>our work with Parks Canada to recover, rebuild, and restore

839
00:59:08.559 --> 00:59:13.760
<v Speaker 20>our beloved community and it's surrounding natural and built environment.

840
00:59:14.800 --> 00:59:18.440
<v Speaker 20>The changes which this legislation enables will permit us to

841
00:59:18.719 --> 00:59:23.440
<v Speaker 20>plan for Jasper's future with more local input, ensuring that

842
00:59:23.920 --> 00:59:28.400
<v Speaker 20>decisions may truly reflect the needs of our residents, while

843
00:59:28.480 --> 00:59:33.360
<v Speaker 20>of course preserving the unique character of our iconic national park.

844
00:59:34.039 --> 00:59:38.960
<v Speaker 20>And together we can rebuild a stronger, more sustainable community.

845
00:59:39.079 --> 00:59:43.159
<v Speaker 20>So I really do appreciate this initiative. I appreciate so

846
00:59:43.320 --> 00:59:45.519
<v Speaker 20>much this opportunity to join you here today.

847
00:59:46.760 --> 00:59:49.039
<v Speaker 7>So this afternoon we have Mark Miller, the Minister of Immigration,

848
00:59:49.119 --> 00:59:52.079
<v Speaker 7>Refuse and Citizenship, and the Honorable Randy Bazzano, the Minister

849
00:59:52.199 --> 00:59:54.199
<v Speaker 7>of Employment, and they are here to make an announcement

850
00:59:54.199 --> 00:59:58.639
<v Speaker 7>about strengthening our temporary the temporary residence programs and migration pathways.

851
00:59:58.639 --> 01:00:00.320
<v Speaker 7>I'll leave it to you guys. Thank you so much.

852
01:00:00.440 --> 01:00:03.159
<v Speaker 10>Over to you, Thanks Jean Paul, thanks everyone for being

853
01:00:03.480 --> 01:00:04.440
<v Speaker 10>with us today. MESSI to.

854
01:00:07.039 --> 01:00:08.639

858
01:00:22.639 --> 01:00:25.159
<v Speaker 12>And so what we did is we accelerated hiring, We

859
01:00:25.280 --> 01:00:30.280
<v Speaker 12>created jobs, We supported UH Canada's small businesses, and it

860
01:00:30.400 --> 01:00:33.760
<v Speaker 12>also meant that we brought in more temporary foreign workers

861
01:00:33.840 --> 01:00:36.199
<v Speaker 12>and we brought in we welcomed those temporary foreign workers

862
01:00:36.519 --> 01:00:38.840
<v Speaker 12>to fill hundreds of thousands of job vacancies. Coming out

863
01:00:38.840 --> 01:00:41.519
<v Speaker 12>of the pandemic, we had a million job vacancies and

864
01:00:41.679 --> 01:00:44.159
<v Speaker 12>the entire ecosystem was asking us to bring in more

865
01:00:44.199 --> 01:00:45.679
<v Speaker 12>workers so we could jump start the economy.

866
01:00:45.800 --> 01:00:46.159
<v Speaker 4>We did that.

867
01:00:46.559 --> 01:00:49.320
<v Speaker 12>Now we're close to the five hundred thousand job vacancies.

868
01:00:49.400 --> 01:00:52.079
<v Speaker 12>And you have heard the Prime Minister, you've heard me

869
01:00:52.360 --> 01:00:55.480
<v Speaker 12>on this matter. And now Canada is fully recovered from

870
01:00:55.519 --> 01:00:57.360
<v Speaker 12>the pandemic. We have the strongest economy. In the G

871
01:00:57.519 --> 01:01:01.280
<v Speaker 12>seven foreign direct investment per capita is tops in the world.

872
01:01:01.639 --> 01:01:04.199
<v Speaker 12>And so what we're doing today is making sure that

873
01:01:04.280 --> 01:01:07.559
<v Speaker 12>the measures that we introduced stick and that we actually affect,

874
01:01:07.639 --> 01:01:10.199
<v Speaker 12>we actually reflect today's economic realities.

879
01:01:29.880 --> 01:01:32.039
<v Speaker 12>So in English, let me state that I've always been

880
01:01:32.119 --> 01:01:36.480
<v Speaker 12>clear that the temporary foreign worker program is and has

881
01:01:36.559 --> 01:01:39.960
<v Speaker 12>always been a last resort measure and should never be

882
01:01:40.119 --> 01:01:43.119
<v Speaker 12>used to replace Canadian workers who want the jobs, and

883
01:01:43.119 --> 01:01:46.400
<v Speaker 12>it should not be used to suppress their wages. And

884
01:01:46.559 --> 01:01:49.800
<v Speaker 12>so last month the PM was clear and announced changes

885
01:01:49.800 --> 01:01:52.239
<v Speaker 12>to the Temporary Foreign worker program, and those changes will

886
01:01:52.280 --> 01:01:55.199
<v Speaker 12>come into effect September twenty sixth, and I want to

887
01:01:55.239 --> 01:01:56.800
<v Speaker 12>just review them because it's going to be important for

888
01:01:56.840 --> 01:02:01.239
<v Speaker 12>the substance of my comments today. So these changes included

889
01:02:01.320 --> 01:02:03.760
<v Speaker 12>releasing the cap from twenty percent to ten percent, and

890
01:02:04.119 --> 01:02:07.679
<v Speaker 12>in census metropolitan areas where the unemployment is higher than

891
01:02:07.719 --> 01:02:10.559
<v Speaker 12>six percent, there's a refusal to process in the low

892
01:02:10.599 --> 01:02:13.480
<v Speaker 12>wage stream. I've also undertaken over the next now sixty

893
01:02:13.599 --> 01:02:15.320

912
01:03:39.199 --> 01:03:39.960
<v Speaker 10>As I've said.

913
01:03:39.800 --> 01:03:42.920
<v Speaker 12>Before in the stated again, the temporary foreign worker program

914
01:03:43.280 --> 01:03:46.400
<v Speaker 12>is an accordion. It's meant to flex with the economy.

915
01:03:46.840 --> 01:03:48.679
<v Speaker 12>When we have a high number of vacancies, we can

916
01:03:48.719 --> 01:03:51.119
<v Speaker 12>bring in more people. And as the economy titans, we

917
01:03:51.199 --> 01:03:53.559
<v Speaker 12>close the accordion and we make it harder for people

918
01:03:53.599 --> 01:03:56.000
<v Speaker 12>to come in because Mark and I and our government

919
01:03:56.119 --> 01:03:58.280
<v Speaker 12>want those jobs to go to Canadians. We want them

920
01:03:58.280 --> 01:04:00.159
<v Speaker 12>to go to people who live here. We want to

921
01:04:00.199 --> 01:04:01.880
<v Speaker 12>go to students, we want them to go to newcomers.

922
01:04:02.079 --> 01:04:03.480
<v Speaker 12>We want them to go to people who want to

923
01:04:03.519 --> 01:04:07.320
<v Speaker 12>take those jobs. And so we're working hard every day

924
01:04:07.360 --> 01:04:09.679
<v Speaker 12>to make sure there's more jobs for Canadians. We're seeing

925
01:04:10.599 --> 01:04:14.119
<v Speaker 12>a slight increase in unemployment, which is a natural result

926
01:04:14.199 --> 01:04:16.079
<v Speaker 12>of the high interest rates which are also coming down,

927
01:04:16.360 --> 01:04:19.719
<v Speaker 12>and now with inflation at two percent and having come

928
01:04:19.840 --> 01:04:22.559
<v Speaker 12>down over eight months, that's a critical piece to see

929
01:04:22.639 --> 01:04:24.960
<v Speaker 12>a turn in the economy. And today we're making good

930
01:04:25.000 --> 01:04:28.800
<v Speaker 12>on our promise to actually reduce the numbers in the

931
01:04:28.880 --> 01:04:31.000
<v Speaker 12>temporary foreign worker program and to make sure that the

932
01:04:31.159 --> 01:04:34.559
<v Speaker 12>program applies across the country. Messi wiku and I'll turn

<v Speaker 21>Miller Randy in Bourgeois Messi randi de Mila Tad. Less

935
01:04:44.880 --> 01:04:48.280
<v Speaker 21>than a year ago, we announced three big measures when

936
01:04:48.320 --> 01:04:53.320
<v Speaker 21>it comes to international students. One a national cap and

937
01:04:53.400 --> 01:04:56.800
<v Speaker 21>a redistribution of the student permits out of a spirit

938
01:04:56.840 --> 01:05:00.880
<v Speaker 21>of fairness across the provinces and territories. To a very

939
01:05:00.920 --> 01:05:05.400
<v Speaker 21>important limitation on spousal permits. And three, as part of

940
01:05:05.519 --> 01:05:09.960
<v Speaker 21>making sure that the system is dealing with the fraud

941
01:05:10.039 --> 01:05:12.840
<v Speaker 21>that we had seen a process of letter of acceptances

942
01:05:12.880 --> 01:05:16.480
<v Speaker 21>that involves the provinces certifying that the institutions that students

943
01:05:16.519 --> 01:05:21.440
<v Speaker 21>international students are coming into are indeed that we see

944
01:05:21.480 --> 01:05:24.840
<v Speaker 21>on the applications. Those were very important and additional in

945
01:05:24.920 --> 01:05:26.760
<v Speaker 21>addition to some of the measures that I announced in

946
01:05:26.880 --> 01:05:31.480
<v Speaker 21>December with respect to with respect to the solvency requirements

947
01:05:31.519 --> 01:05:33.400
<v Speaker 21>of students that have to come to Canada, Canada is

948
01:05:33.440 --> 01:05:36.320
<v Speaker 21>not an inexpensive place to live in. And in addition

949
01:05:36.440 --> 01:05:39.480
<v Speaker 21>to the work hour amendments that we have made that

950
01:05:39.599 --> 01:05:42.400
<v Speaker 21>limit the work hours to twenty in now coming up

951
01:05:42.440 --> 01:05:46.039
<v Speaker 21>twenty four hours for students working full studying full time.

952
01:05:46.079 --> 01:05:49.679
<v Speaker 21>We expect students to be doing exactly that. But let's

953
01:05:49.679 --> 01:05:52.159
<v Speaker 21>set the table further a little. When you look at

954
01:05:52.760 --> 01:05:56.480
<v Speaker 21>the growth that we have seen in people that are

955
01:05:56.639 --> 01:06:01.239
<v Speaker 21>temporary residence of Canada, that's something that has grown almost

956
01:06:01.280 --> 01:06:04.239
<v Speaker 21>exponentially over the last few years, from about four hundred

957
01:06:04.239 --> 01:06:07.360
<v Speaker 21>and thirty seven thousand individuals in twenty nineteen alone to

958
01:06:07.400 --> 01:06:12.519
<v Speaker 21>about one point two million in twenty twenty three. That

959
01:06:12.639 --> 01:06:16.840
<v Speaker 21>comes with consequences, but let's not also forget the importance

960
01:06:16.880 --> 01:06:19.840
<v Speaker 21>that immigration generally, the importance of people that are here

961
01:06:20.280 --> 01:06:23.000
<v Speaker 21>on a temporary basis, has done for the economy. The

962
01:06:23.039 --> 01:06:26.119
<v Speaker 21>Bank of Canada set at the International Monetary is Fund

963
01:06:26.159 --> 01:06:28.840
<v Speaker 21>to set at the immigration writ large, has been in

964
01:06:28.920 --> 01:06:32.159
<v Speaker 21>part responsible from preventing us from going into a recession,

965
01:06:32.440 --> 01:06:35.519
<v Speaker 21>has been important for the net growth in the gross

966
01:06:35.559 --> 01:06:40.039
<v Speaker 21>domestic product. Again, this has been important and it's been

967
01:06:40.119 --> 01:06:43.199
<v Speaker 21>important to the growth of the country. But I think

968
01:06:43.199 --> 01:06:46.800
<v Speaker 21>it's safe to admit that we have allowed certain aspects

969
01:06:46.840 --> 01:06:49.920
<v Speaker 21>of this to get overheated and probably for too long.

970
01:06:51.480 --> 01:06:55.280
<v Speaker 21>We made I made in March an announcement an important

971
01:06:55.320 --> 01:06:57.920
<v Speaker 21>one to reduce the number of people that are here

972
01:06:58.119 --> 01:07:02.079
<v Speaker 21>temporarily from seven percent to five percent over the next

973
01:07:02.119 --> 01:07:04.440
<v Speaker 21>three years. The Bank of Canada rightly highlighted that the

974
01:07:04.519 --> 01:07:06.920
<v Speaker 21>number of the measures that we have taken, while important,

975
01:07:06.960 --> 01:07:09.760
<v Speaker 21>we're not sufficient in order to address that number and

976
01:07:09.840 --> 01:07:12.840
<v Speaker 21>to give people the satisfaction that those numbers were going

977
01:07:12.880 --> 01:07:16.599
<v Speaker 21>to come down in that period. Today, along with the

978
01:07:16.639 --> 01:07:21.079
<v Speaker 21>announcements that RANDI is making, we are announcing further measures,

979
01:07:21.239 --> 01:07:24.920
<v Speaker 21>specifically importantly with respect to international students and a few

980
01:07:24.960 --> 01:07:30.239
<v Speaker 21>other ones that I will go through here shortly. First,

981
01:07:30.559 --> 01:07:32.800
<v Speaker 21>I'd like to say that the measures on that we've

982
01:07:32.880 --> 01:07:35.159
<v Speaker 21>taken with respect to international students and again taking a

983
01:07:35.199 --> 01:07:39.400
<v Speaker 21>step back, international students and the postgraduate work permits that

984
01:07:39.480 --> 01:07:43.719
<v Speaker 21>come with it occupy about fifty percent of the temporary

985
01:07:43.920 --> 01:07:46.840
<v Speaker 21>workers that are here in Canada. The programs that Randy

986
01:07:47.000 --> 01:07:49.920
<v Speaker 21>administers about ten to fifteen percent, depending how you're counting.

987
01:07:50.480 --> 01:07:53.159
<v Speaker 21>So the growth in the international student space, along with

988
01:07:53.199 --> 01:07:56.440
<v Speaker 21>the postgraduate work permits that come with them, the espousal

989
01:07:56.519 --> 01:07:59.280
<v Speaker 21>permits that come with them, are ones where we owe

990
01:07:59.280 --> 01:08:02.599
<v Speaker 21>it to Canadians, and in the context of an economy

991
01:08:02.840 --> 01:08:05.840
<v Speaker 21>where the labor market in some areas is constricting, we

992
01:08:05.960 --> 01:08:08.840
<v Speaker 21>need to adjust accordingly. I would say that the measures

993
01:08:08.880 --> 01:08:10.719
<v Speaker 21>that we've taken up to now are working. You have

994
01:08:10.800 --> 01:08:14.559
<v Speaker 21>seen more than anecdotal evidence that there is been an

995
01:08:14.599 --> 01:08:17.960
<v Speaker 21>impact on certain rental markets where students are more prevalent.

996
01:08:19.199 --> 01:08:21.920
<v Speaker 21>And this is an announcement in advance of the annual

997
01:08:22.000 --> 01:08:23.640
<v Speaker 21>level plan that I know a number of you are

998
01:08:23.680 --> 01:08:26.399
<v Speaker 21>eager to hear me on that I will be announcing

999
01:08:26.920 --> 01:08:33.199
<v Speaker 21>on November first, and integrating for the first time ever

1000
01:08:34.039 --> 01:08:37.439
<v Speaker 21>a fuller picture of what immigration looks like in our

1001
01:08:37.479 --> 01:08:41.000
<v Speaker 21>country and what we are projecting for the economy, for Canada,

1002
01:08:41.119 --> 01:08:45.680
<v Speaker 21>for our social cohesion for the next three years. So

1003
01:08:45.920 --> 01:08:50.079
<v Speaker 21>today I am announcing six additional measures and I'll go

1004
01:08:50.199 --> 01:08:52.239
<v Speaker 21>through them in a little bit of detail, because I

1005

<v Speaker 21>think that's important to la bar las sieble di del

1012
01:09:39.239 --> 01:09:40.880
<v Speaker 21>are looking at the numbers, you will see the number

1013
01:09:40.920 --> 01:09:43.560
<v Speaker 21>I announced its higher. As part of the first measure

1014
01:09:43.560 --> 01:09:45.920
<v Speaker 21>I'm taking, and that's because of Measure two, in which

1015
01:09:45.960 --> 01:09:49.600
<v Speaker 21>we are carving in masters and pH d programs. So,

1016
01:09:49.760 --> 01:09:54.640
<v Speaker 21>simply put, the international student cap is here to stay.

1020
01:10:20.920 --> 01:10:23.199
<v Speaker 21>three years, I think this is important. We expect these

1021
01:10:23.319 --> 01:10:28.920
<v Speaker 21>changes to yield approximately three hundred thousand fewer study permits

1027
01:10:56.399 --> 01:11:00.479
<v Speaker 21>for anyone applying for post graduation work permit on or

1028
01:11:00.600 --> 01:11:04.760
<v Speaker 21>after November one of twenty twenty four. We know that

1029
01:11:04.920 --> 01:11:09.399
<v Speaker 21>people that can speak the language are better equipped to

1030
01:11:09.520 --> 01:11:13.960
<v Speaker 21>succeed in Canadian society. This is a more stringent requirement

1031
01:11:14.119 --> 01:11:16.439
<v Speaker 21>that I think is very important if we are going

1032
01:11:16.520 --> 01:11:19.319
<v Speaker 21>to continue the successful story of integration of some of

1033
01:11:19.399 --> 01:11:25.399
<v Speaker 21>these people into Canadian Society fourth for prospective students applying

1034
01:11:25.439 --> 01:11:29.279
<v Speaker 21>HO or No after November one. Postgraduation work permit eligibility

1035
01:11:29.279 --> 01:11:33.800
<v Speaker 21>will depend on the level of study. Graduates from bachelors, masters,

1036
01:11:33.880 --> 01:11:37.560
<v Speaker 21>and doctoral degree programs will remain eligible for a work permit.

1037
01:11:37.800 --> 01:11:38.560
<v Speaker 8>Up to three years.

1038
01:11:39.239 --> 01:11:41.960
<v Speaker 21>These graduates are more likely to acquire transferable knowledge and

1039
01:11:41.960 --> 01:11:45.319
<v Speaker 21>skills and be able to adapt to changing economic circumstances

1040

<v Speaker 21>In the near future, will also take further measures to

1048

01:12:36.159 --> 01:12:40.279
<v Speaker 21>doctoral and certain masters select professional programs in certain pilot programs,

1053
01:12:40.960 --> 01:12:42.840
<v Speaker 21>and over the next three years, we expect that measure,

1054
01:12:43.520 --> 01:12:47.039
<v Speaker 21>and these changes to yield approximately fifty thousand fewer work

1055
01:12:47.119 --> 01:12:51.079
<v Speaker 21>permits for the spouses of students groups and sixth unrelated

1056
01:12:51.119 --> 01:12:54.479
<v Speaker 21>to students and postgraduate work permits will also be limiting

1057
01:12:55.000 --> 01:12:58.319
<v Speaker 21>work permit eligibility to include only spouses of highly skilled

1058
01:12:58.359 --> 01:13:01.720
<v Speaker 21>specialized workers such as C suite executive scientists, engineers, lawyers,

1059
01:13:01.760 --> 01:13:04.920
<v Speaker 21>professors and technicians, or of workers and sectors where there

1060
01:13:04.960 --> 01:13:09.439
<v Speaker 21>are those key labor shortages. Spousers of workers and critical

1061
01:13:09.520 --> 01:13:13.119
<v Speaker 21>sectors like healthcare construction will also obviously continue to be

1062
01:13:13.199 --> 01:13:18.560
<v Speaker 21>eligible for those work permits. As a quantitative measure, again,

1063
01:13:18.720 --> 01:13:21.479
<v Speaker 21>over the next three years, we expect these changes to

1064
01:13:21.600 --> 01:13:25.159
<v Speaker 21>yield approximately one hundred thousand fewer work permits. Again, I

1065
01:13:25.359 --> 01:13:28.039
<v Speaker 21>do stress that these are estimates and obviously will need

1066
01:13:28.079 --> 01:13:39.239
<v Speaker 21>to be tracked closely. Copion com SAVI called the dan

1074
01:14:44.560 --> 01:14:48.319
<v Speaker 21>countries where we are seeing people exploiting the visa system.

1075
01:14:48.520 --> 01:14:51.520
<v Speaker 21>That is to say that those that are claiming for

1076
01:14:51.720 --> 01:14:58.199
<v Speaker 21>asylum are not legitimate asylum claimants. Is a challenge to

1077
01:14:58.319 --> 01:15:01.520
<v Speaker 21>the system, particularly given the volume of people that are

1078
01:15:01.600 --> 01:15:04.199
<v Speaker 21>looking to come to Canada. Again, as I said in French,

1079
01:15:04.319 --> 01:15:06.119
<v Speaker 21>it is a privilege to come to Canada, it is

1080
01:15:06.239 --> 01:15:11.319
<v Speaker 21>not a right. If you compare the numbers of people

1081
01:15:11.399 --> 01:15:13.800
<v Speaker 21>that have come in, for example, in one country where

1082
01:15:14.199 --> 01:15:16.399
<v Speaker 21>we have had some of those challenges, from India, we

1083
01:15:16.520 --> 01:15:21.199
<v Speaker 21>have seen those visas jump down from around fifty thousand

1084
01:15:21.279 --> 01:15:25.199
<v Speaker 21>in January to less than ten thousand in August. Again,

1085
01:15:25.279 --> 01:15:28.359
<v Speaker 21>these are preliminary numbers, but it is an indicative sign

1086
01:15:28.640 --> 01:15:30.600
<v Speaker 21>that the measures that we have taken over the summer

1087
01:15:30.640 --> 01:15:33.840
<v Speaker 21>after discussions with my provincial colleagues are working. There's more

1088
01:15:33.880 --> 01:15:36.119
<v Speaker 21>work to do, and again there are a number of

1089
01:15:36.199 --> 01:15:38.159
<v Speaker 21>measures that we need to take to make sure that

1090
01:15:38.239 --> 01:15:43.600
<v Speaker 21>when asylum seekers come to this country they get due process,

1091
01:15:43.920 --> 01:15:46.199
<v Speaker 21>but that there is no abuse in the system, and

1092
01:15:46.199 --> 01:15:48.640
<v Speaker 21>it is incumbent on the federal government to act when

1093
01:15:48.680 --> 01:15:54.720
<v Speaker 21>it controls the levers, particularly at the border. I want

1094
01:15:54.760 --> 01:15:58.399
<v Speaker 21>to say one final word on what I believe to

1095
01:15:58.479 --> 01:16:01.720
<v Speaker 21>be at least that the initial stage is a productive

1096
01:16:01.960 --> 01:16:04.520
<v Speaker 21>working group with a number of my colleague ministers of

1097
01:16:04.840 --> 01:16:09.039
<v Speaker 21>Labor and Immigration Skills Training, depending on the title they

1098
01:16:09.119 --> 01:16:12.960
<v Speaker 21>hold in the province that they represent. Over the course

1099
01:16:13.000 --> 01:16:16.680
<v Speaker 21>of the summer, at the Council of the Federation, all

1100
01:16:16.720 --> 01:16:20.000
<v Speaker 21>of the premiers got together and said that we needed

1101
01:16:20.039 --> 01:16:23.439
<v Speaker 21>to work as a group to deal with the asylum

1102
01:16:24.199 --> 01:16:27.560
<v Speaker 21>challenge that this country is facing and that a lot

1103
01:16:27.600 --> 01:16:31.680
<v Speaker 21>of countries in our position are facing, particularly with respect

1104
01:16:31.720 --> 01:16:35.239
<v Speaker 21>to the unsustainable numbers of asylum seekers coming into Quebec

1105
01:16:35.720 --> 01:16:39.039
<v Speaker 21>and coming in to Ontario. All premiers at that time

1106
01:16:39.840 --> 01:16:45.840
<v Speaker 21>agreed as a parallel process had been had already started

1107
01:16:46.239 --> 01:16:50.039
<v Speaker 21>the idea of a working group with my colleagues from

1108
01:16:50.079 --> 01:16:52.920
<v Speaker 21>the provinces to deal with this. We asked ourselves a

1109
01:16:52.960 --> 01:16:56.439
<v Speaker 21>fundamental question as part of our working group is what

1110
01:16:56.640 --> 01:17:03.159
<v Speaker 21>does a fair asylum system look like? That started first

1111
01:17:03.199 --> 01:17:05.359
<v Speaker 21>and foremost with the responsibility of the federal government to

1112
01:17:05.399 --> 01:17:07.439
<v Speaker 21>make sure that we are doing our role when it

1113
01:17:07.520 --> 01:17:10.920
<v Speaker 21>comes to bringing in addressing the number of asylum seekers

1114
01:17:11.000 --> 01:17:13.079
<v Speaker 21>coming into the country. But also the roles of the

1115
01:17:13.159 --> 01:17:15.199
<v Speaker 21>provinces that have the effect of jurisdiction on some of

1116
01:17:15.239 --> 01:17:18.800
<v Speaker 21>the services that these asylum seekers seek to do their part,

1117
01:17:19.159 --> 01:17:22.079
<v Speaker 21>and they all agreed to do so, and with the

1118
01:17:22.199 --> 01:17:27.119
<v Speaker 21>chairmanship of the Government of Canada and the Government of

1119
01:17:27.159 --> 01:17:29.279
<v Speaker 21>Nova Scotia, we work throughout the summer to look at

1120
01:17:29.279 --> 01:17:31.920
<v Speaker 21>different models of what would could this system look like.

1121
01:17:32.640 --> 01:17:34.279
<v Speaker 21>I'm taking a little bit of time to give you

1122
01:17:34.479 --> 01:17:37.720
<v Speaker 21>some background because I currently no longer think that that

1123
01:17:37.840 --> 01:17:43.680
<v Speaker 21>working group is actually helpful. I don't blame the bureaucrats

1124
01:17:43.720 --> 01:17:45.760
<v Speaker 21>in question. I don't blame the civil servants of our

1125
01:17:45.840 --> 01:17:49.560
<v Speaker 21>respective provinces and territories for having done their work. I

1126
01:17:49.680 --> 01:17:52.560
<v Speaker 21>don't blame my colleague ministers for putting their hearts into it.

1127
01:17:52.840 --> 01:17:54.560
<v Speaker 21>There was a lot of good faith at that table,

1128
01:17:55.560 --> 01:18:00.720
<v Speaker 21>but sadly, three particularly conservative ministers have stood up, the

1129
01:18:00.760 --> 01:18:04.760
<v Speaker 21>premiers of Nova Scotia, of New Brunswick and Alberta, and

1130
01:18:04.840 --> 01:18:08.479
<v Speaker 21>decided to weaponize this working group. They took a theoretical

1131
01:18:08.600 --> 01:18:12.239
<v Speaker 21>number of asylum seekers based on the last year's number

1132
01:18:12.239 --> 01:18:16.279
<v Speaker 21>of asylum seekers, divided it up by the populations as

1133
01:18:16.359 --> 01:18:19.680
<v Speaker 21>they would, and assumed that the federal government would impose

1134
01:18:19.960 --> 01:18:22.239
<v Speaker 21>a number of asylum seekers on them. Let me restate,

1135
01:18:22.439 --> 01:18:24.520
<v Speaker 21>Ontario and Quebec are doing more than their fair share,

1136
01:18:24.800 --> 01:18:26.960
<v Speaker 21>and the other provinces need to step up. But there

1137
01:18:27.079 --> 01:18:30.840
<v Speaker 21>was no point in time where anyone said that the

1138
01:18:30.920 --> 01:18:34.920
<v Speaker 21>federal government was going to impose thousands of asylum seekers

1139
01:18:34.960 --> 01:18:38.680
<v Speaker 21>on unprepared provinces. I should probably give you the documents

1140
01:18:38.720 --> 01:18:41.600
<v Speaker 21>that they themselves leaked, because it would probably be quite

1141
01:18:41.640 --> 01:18:44.479
<v Speaker 21>helpful for your analysis. But this was a productive working

1142
01:18:44.520 --> 01:18:47.399
<v Speaker 21>group that has been weaponized by three premiers in particular

1143
01:18:47.520 --> 01:18:49.079
<v Speaker 21>for their reelection or their.

1144
01:18:51.039 --> 01:18:52.079
<v Speaker 22>Or their leadership review.

1145
01:18:52.319 --> 01:18:56.079
<v Speaker 21>And I think it's really irresponsible those provinces come knocking

1146
01:18:56.119 --> 01:18:59.279
<v Speaker 21>at my door for more immigrants. They are responsible for

1147
01:19:00.039 --> 01:19:04.159
<v Speaker 21>about twenty percent of permanent residency numbers through the provincial

1148
01:19:04.199 --> 01:19:09.399
<v Speaker 21>nominee program. Quebec has the entire control over it's permanent

1149
01:19:09.479 --> 01:19:12.680
<v Speaker 21>residency program based on the Quebec Canada a Court, and

1150
01:19:12.760 --> 01:19:14.600
<v Speaker 21>there is a responsible way of doing things. This was

1151
01:19:14.640 --> 01:19:17.800
<v Speaker 21>not responsible, and they threw their own ministers under the bus,

1152
01:19:18.039 --> 01:19:20.840
<v Speaker 21>and they've made this productive working group much less productive.

1153
01:19:21.039 --> 01:19:23.960
<v Speaker 21>It doesn't mean we're giving up. I questioned the pertinence

1154
01:19:24.000 --> 01:19:25.800
<v Speaker 21>of this group given the fact that the documents have

1155
01:19:25.840 --> 01:19:28.319
<v Speaker 21>been leaked. It's unfortunate, but I do think there was

1156
01:19:28.319 --> 01:19:30.039
<v Speaker 21>a good faith around the table and we can work

1157
01:19:30.479 --> 01:19:33.640
<v Speaker 21>on an individual basis with these provinces to see which

1158
01:19:33.680 --> 01:19:35.359
<v Speaker 21>ones will stand up. There's money on the table, there's

1159
01:19:35.399 --> 01:19:37.720
<v Speaker 21>over a billion dollars that we've committed to making sure

1160
01:19:37.760 --> 01:19:39.720
<v Speaker 21>that we have a system that makes that make sense.

1161
01:19:39.760 --> 01:19:42.159
<v Speaker 21>There are countries in Europe that have a system that

1162
01:19:42.239 --> 01:19:45.560
<v Speaker 21>makes sense, and indeed the European Union has a system that,

1163
01:19:46.439 --> 01:19:48.840
<v Speaker 21>while they are facing different challenges than us, at least

1164
01:19:48.880 --> 01:19:51.960
<v Speaker 21>has some semblance of sense. So this is about these

1165
01:19:52.279 --> 01:19:53.720
<v Speaker 21>This is about a bunch of premiers who decided to

1166
01:19:53.760 --> 01:19:58.279
<v Speaker 21>weaponize the issue. Unfortunately, it's undermined the credibility of this

1167
01:19:58.319 --> 01:20:00.720
<v Speaker 21>committee and obviously that atering dissolving.
