Speaker 1: Thank you for listening to pictures.
Speaker 2: Media Radio. Welcome to policy and rights shows. Welcome to
Speaker 2: policy and human Joys.
Speaker 3: How realistic is it to get a deal by August first, Well.
Speaker 4: That depends, and there's two sides to a deal.
Speaker 5: We will obviously we're working on behalf of Canadians and
Speaker 5: we will agree a deal if there's one on the
Speaker 5: table that is in the best interests of Canadians, just
Speaker 5: as the United States will do in the look for
Speaker 5: the best interests of the US. There have been a
Speaker 5: series of discussions. Senior ministers have been in Washington. They'll
Speaker 5: be returning, mister Leblac for example, We'll be in Washington
Speaker 5: for the balance of the week, as will be my
Speaker 5: chief of staff, other officials for those discussions. But you know,
Speaker 5: they're complex negotiations and we'll use all the time that's
Speaker 5: necessary and agree something that's in the interests of Canadians
Speaker 5: if that's a bill.
Speaker 2: Okay, welcome back to policy and right here in depends
Speaker 2: Media Radio. I'm your host, Michael Cloggs. So there has
Speaker 2: been a Premier's meeting or first Minister's meeting as is
Speaker 2: also it's called UH in Ontario hosted of course by
Speaker 2: Doug Ford if it was in Ontario, and we are
Speaker 2: going to actually hear from Doug Ford as he speaks
Speaker 2: about issues of UH that he expects to see from
Speaker 2: the federal government. He expects to see a more responsive
Speaker 2: and in available immigration system. He expects that immigration system
Speaker 2: to respond to the needs of the economy and to
Speaker 2: allow for work permits and for foreign workers to be
Speaker 2: to to happen. He said that at one point that.
Speaker 6: The Foreign Immigration, the Immigration Minister and the the Prime Minister,
Speaker 6: we're not exactly on the same page, and that could
Speaker 6: be a problem.
Speaker 7: Uh.
Speaker 2: Hell, mister Ford is expecting that a united front. He
Speaker 2: I gotta hand it to Doug Ford on the on
Speaker 2: this one that he he does actually preach, Hey, let's
Speaker 2: have a united Canadian front. Let's have a have unity
Speaker 2: between all the provinces so that we can all join
Speaker 2: together and work together and and build a great spot
Speaker 2: in in this planet Earth. He has, he has a
Speaker 2: lot of uh A good point with that. I don't
Speaker 2: always agree with how he goes about those things, but
Speaker 2: at least he's speaking out and trying to promote a
Speaker 2: united Canada rather than a divided Canada that we try
Speaker 2: to figure out what the key issue are and work
Speaker 2: on those key issues rather than always well, it is
Speaker 2: a democracy, so there's always going to be debate. There's
Speaker 2: always going to be opposition versus moving forward and and
Speaker 2: the and that comes at a great balance so that
Speaker 2: we're moving forward in the best interests of the people,
Speaker 2: the land, and all of those other beings that really
Speaker 2: can't speak for themselves. That we that that we as
Speaker 2: Canadians stick to the idea of stewardship to the rest
Speaker 2: of nature. Also, so there's always going to be there's
Speaker 2: always going to be debate about how to do that
Speaker 2: and there and but as long as we stay united
Speaker 2: on on some of those on those key things, those
Speaker 2: key ideas, that we're going to build a great country. Okay,
Speaker 2: there's also gonna be some debate over pipelines. No one's
Speaker 2: actually talking directly about the pipelines, but we know that
Speaker 2: the pipeline projects are a priority. They're trying not to
Speaker 2: talk about it too much in public because of the
Speaker 2: environmental things. Let's face it, there is no pipeline in
Speaker 2: the world that does not leak. There is no pipeline
Speaker 2: in the world that doesn't cause eventually caused some sort
Speaker 2: of environmental disaster in some place. If you think that,
Speaker 2: think that you're living in a dream world. If you
Speaker 2: think that, oh, the pipelines have to be absolutely safe,
Speaker 2: they don't disperse hazardous material along the way they do,
Speaker 2: and they do it in in map massive doses. When
Speaker 2: it happens, it is a massive dose. It makes if
Speaker 2: if you remember the town by the lake in I
Speaker 2: think it was in Quebec that was decimated because of
Speaker 2: a railcar accident. If you think that was bad, let
Speaker 2: a pipeline go wrong and they will hide the disaster.
Speaker 2: But let's move forward with this, okay, because there's other
Speaker 2: issues at hand that really need to be addressed and
Speaker 2: really need to be talked about. And we're gonna hear
Speaker 2: Mark Carney talk about the tariff issues between the US
Speaker 2: and Canada, because well, let's face it that the person
Speaker 2: who is sitting in the Oval office in the White House,
Speaker 2: he's greedy and he wants his tariff money. He wants
Speaker 2: it now. So the question is by August first, and
Speaker 2: well i'm recording this it is January twenty third, will
Speaker 2: there be a deal on the table that will be
Speaker 2: suitable for Canada to sign off on. That is always
Speaker 2: going to be a big question is there going to
Speaker 2: be a deal put in place that will allow for that.
Speaker 2: Interestingly enough that and I think maybe mister Trump is
Speaker 2: suffering from dementia on this one, because the US, Canadian
Speaker 2: and Mexican trade deal that he says it's so horrible
Speaker 2: that Biden put together it was so horrible, was actually
Speaker 2: put together by him. He wrote that deal out, He
Speaker 2: negotiated that deal and put it in place, and Biden
Speaker 2: simply said, it looks good, so let's keep going with it.
Speaker 2: Trump put the deal in place that eliminated a lot
Speaker 2: of the tires between Canada, the United States, and Mexico.
Speaker 2: He put the put together the deal that would have
Speaker 2: the three countries working together as a united front in
Speaker 2: North America. Wasn't Biden. He did it. So now that
Speaker 2: if the deal is no good, he made the deal
Speaker 2: to begin with. He was the one who put the
Speaker 2: deal in place. So as he's from front dementia and
Speaker 2: he's forgetting that he's the one who did it anyway. Okay,
Speaker 2: So Mark Karney is going to say that that there
Speaker 2: is going to need to be a deal put in
Speaker 2: place that is worthy of Canada's signing off on worthy
Speaker 2: of his minister's signing off on and he said Minister
Speaker 2: of Lebronc is actively working on that before August first.
Speaker 2: And one of the big things is, Okay, there's this
Speaker 2: statistic out there and I don't know I'm going to
Speaker 2: quote this statistic, but don't beat me up because I
Speaker 2: haven't actually fact checked this, because I do know that
Speaker 2: a good bit of Alberta oil gets sent to Asia
Speaker 2: for refinement and then sent back to to the West
Speaker 2: coast of Canada in the in the form of gasoline.
Speaker 2: Gasoline is not just fuel. There's a lot of other
Speaker 2: uses for gasoline in plastics and in making nylon and
Speaker 2: other polymers that we can that we can think of.
Speaker 2: Because gasoline is now a refined product that can be
Speaker 2: they can be produced into other things. So don't think that, oh,
Speaker 2: it's being set back to us just for fuel. That
Speaker 2: isn't exactly always true. There's other manufacturing ideas and things
Speaker 2: do get manufactured here in Canada, so that's that's not true.
Speaker 2: And polymers do get do get built here in Canada.
Speaker 2: So so in in order to do that from the petroleum,
Speaker 2: you need to convert it to clean it up so
Speaker 2: that it can be used as gasoline. Okay, the end
Speaker 2: of the chemistry lesson. So the statistic is should there
Speaker 2: be more refineries because ninety seven percent of the of
Speaker 2: the bitriment that is drilled out of Alberta Tarzans is
Speaker 2: being sent to the United States. I will say this
Speaker 2: much though, that we need more trade partners for the
Speaker 2: resources that Canada is shipping out. We need to ship
Speaker 2: to other countries besides the United States. And that's just
Speaker 2: smart business as as things go. That you can't own
Speaker 2: a business only have one customer, that customer dies out,
Speaker 2: you're simply put your out of business. If you're a
Speaker 2: consultant and you only have one client, you're technically an
Speaker 2: employee to that one client. And if that client leads
Speaker 2: you or eliminates you're you're out of out of out
Speaker 2: of business. If you're out of work, you have to
Speaker 2: go drum up business from other places. That's exactly what
Speaker 2: Canada needs to do. It needs to find ways to
Speaker 2: drum up business from other places, other countries. And if
Speaker 2: it is true that just in one day that Mark
Speaker 2: Carney took eighty calls for other countries that want to
Speaker 2: do business with Canada, let's do that work with those countries,
Speaker 2: see what we can get, what we can sell, what
Speaker 2: we can trade. How it can all work out, because
Speaker 2: if the United States, mister Trump is going to keep threatening, threatening,
Speaker 2: and then removing tariffs, and it is not about doing business.
Speaker 2: It is about him wanting control. He wants to control
Speaker 2: the world's markets, and that's how he's going to do
Speaker 2: it is by threatening tariffs. Everybody jumps up, Oh my god,
Speaker 2: the United States is going to teriff us. If we
Speaker 2: take a step back and we reconsider and limit his
Speaker 2: ability to make us jump up and scream, oh my god,
Speaker 2: he's hitting us with a tariff. If we do that,
Speaker 2: it takes a wind out of his sales. So anyway,
Speaker 2: but the main thing about this Premiere summit is this
Speaker 2: is that they were trying to find a way to
Speaker 2: cause the United Front for Canada. They were trying to
Speaker 2: promote projects across Canada in order to make a stronger
Speaker 2: infrastructure and one pipelines to move oil products across back
Speaker 2: and forth across the country for trade purposes or for
Speaker 2: fuel purposes, and building refineries that they also wanted to
Speaker 2: bring to bring back to the table again. First Nations issues,
Speaker 2: what about Indigenous rights. What about building an indigenous infrastructure
Speaker 2: so that the real stewards of the land can step
Speaker 2: forward and help make sure that these infrastructure projects are
Speaker 2: going the right way. And that was the real purpose
Speaker 2: of this particular summit there is we're going to go
Speaker 2: on and on about trade things which we need to trade.
Speaker 2: We're going to go on and on about the pipelines.
Speaker 2: Pipelines may not be the absolute answer, but it is
Speaker 2: an answer for helping Alberta get the bitumen and oil
Speaker 2: products from Alberta. To say, quote back, it is an answer.
Speaker 2: So all answers need to be looked at and talked about, right, Okay,
Speaker 2: that was part of the purpose of this summit is
Speaker 2: to talk about these things. So we are you're gonna
Speaker 2: also hear if you're listening to the podcast, you're gonna
Speaker 2: hear Davy eb He makes a statement about about British
Speaker 2: Columbia because, let's face it, British Columbia is one of
Speaker 2: the with the softwood lumber thing is one of the
Speaker 2: biggest resource producers for Canada. Everybody wants to talk about
Speaker 2: the oil softwood lumber. He is too far behind, guys,
Speaker 2: So David eb He steps up to the table, and
Speaker 2: he talks about the softwood lumber and how to ensure
Speaker 2: that that softwood lumber get sold around the world for
Speaker 2: a construction purposes. Now, the logging industry does need to
Speaker 2: be monitored. It's the same as the mining of the
Speaker 2: bitumen in Alberta. It needs to be monitored to make
Speaker 2: sure that we're doing it responsible, respectfully and leading back
Speaker 2: to again the idea of indigenous rights to the land.
Speaker 2: They are going to ensure that we are doing things
Speaker 2: in a respectful way. So there's a lot of talk
Speaker 2: about indigenous partners. Let's see they actually do it all right,
Speaker 2: why don't we move forward? And we're just gonna take
Speaker 2: it from Doug Ford him talking at the end of
Speaker 2: the three days, and we will hear other parts of
Speaker 2: and opinions about the meeting, such as Tom Houston as
Speaker 2: he chimes in about what happened at the Premier's meeting,
Speaker 2: and of course Mark Karney talking about the summer. And
Speaker 2: he's also going to answer some questions about other issues
Speaker 2: with Canada and at the United States.
Speaker 4: Time.
Speaker 8: Good afternoon, everyone, Thank you for joining today's news conference.
Speaker 8: Bion Venia said, conference Press. We will start out today
Speaker 8: with remarks from the chair of the Council Federation Ontario
Speaker 8: Premier Doug Ford, followed by remarks in French by the
Speaker 8: Premier of Quebec, Francois Lugo. We will then take questions
Speaker 8: from media. It is my pleasure to now introduce the
Speaker 8: Premier of Ontario, Doug Ford.
Speaker 9: Well, thank you so much. I just want to start
Speaker 9: by thanking my fellow premiers. I always say I have
Speaker 9: a team of champions. For such a positive and productive
Speaker 9: meeting over the last few days, I'm proud to stand
Speaker 9: shoulders shoulder with my fellow premiers as Team Canada. And
Speaker 9: it's never been more important and never been more united
Speaker 9: since I've been premier for the last over seven big years.
Speaker 9: Over the last three days, Canada's premiers have worked hard
Speaker 9: to move forward on our shared priorities. We've met with
Speaker 9: the indigenous leaders and frontline healthcare workers. We sat down
Speaker 9: with Prime Minister Carney and that's the first time that's
Speaker 9: happened to discuss ongoing negotiations with the US and how
Speaker 9: we're working together to build a stronger, more competitive economy.
Speaker 9: We met as premiers and talked about the issues that
Speaker 9: matter most to the people we serve. We talked about
Speaker 9: standing up for workers in the fame of President Trump's tariffs.
Speaker 9: We talked about cutting red tape, opening internal markets, and
Speaker 9: building a stronger, more self reliant economy. We talked about
Speaker 9: the need for real bail reform that keeps criminals behind
Speaker 9: bars and keeps our community safe. Prime Minister Carney has
Speaker 9: made it very clear in the comments to premiers and
Speaker 9: will be holding him accountable on bail reform. Premiers are
Speaker 9: also calling for a stronger provincial role in immigration for
Speaker 9: one simple reason, we know our labor markets best. At
Speaker 9: our first minister's meetings. Prime Minister Carney agreed yesterday at
Speaker 9: a meeting of federal and provincial immigration ministers, the federal
Speaker 9: immigration minister wasn't on the same page as her Prime minister.
Speaker 9: We need the Prime Minister to be very very clear
Speaker 9: with his minister. She needs to work with the provinces
Speaker 9: and territories to fix Canada's immigration system and make it
Speaker 9: more responsive to economic and market needs. In the meantime,
Speaker 9: Canada's premiers agreed to work together to use our authorities
Speaker 9: under Section ninety five of the Constitution, including to issue
Speaker 9: our own work permits. I'll speak for Ontario we will
Speaker 9: be issuing our own work permits. We are going to
Speaker 9: sit around and wait for the federal government. On healthcare,
Speaker 9: we're making it easier for nurses and doctors to move
Speaker 9: and work anywhere in Canada. We also talked about new
Speaker 9: ways to get life saving medications into the hands of
Speaker 9: patients faster. But most importantly, we agreed on the need
Speaker 9: to remain united. And I've always said united, we stand, divided,
Speaker 9: we fall. I don't wearn great hands. Under the leadership
Speaker 9: a Pei Premier Rob Lance, who will soon take over
Speaker 9: as Chair of the Council of Federation, with the United
Speaker 9: Team Canada approach, we're going to build and protect the
Speaker 9: True North, strong and free. Thank you very much, and
Speaker 9: make God bless the people of Canada.

Speaker 8: Merci, monsieur le premier ministro. We will now move to
Speaker 8: media questions, starting with media who are present, followed by
Speaker 8: questions for those tending virtually. Please come to the microphone,
Speaker 8: state your name outlet and direct your question to one premier.
Speaker 8: Just a reminder you will be limited to one question only.
Speaker 11: First question, Father Mackenzie Gray with Global News Premier Smith,
Speaker 11: you and a number of premiers have said that you
Speaker 11: were going to speak with Premier ib about the idea
Speaker 11: of getting an oil pipeline through BC and wondering how
Speaker 11: those conversations went, and mister Bbia hope you could respond
Speaker 11: to how you feel those went. And I want to
Speaker 11: follow up on something you said yesterday too. You said
Speaker 11: you'd be support of a potential oil pipeline through Alberte
Speaker 11: if Miss Smith was able to profind a proponent for that.
Speaker 11: I just want to clarify you'd be open to having
Speaker 11: a pipeline going through BC if there was a company
Speaker 11: that was willing to do that.
Speaker 4: I'll start because I know that.
Speaker 12: Maybe the media isn't aware of how many areas of
Speaker 12: common ground that Premier eb and I have. We have
Speaker 12: talked about ammonia.
Speaker 4: Export from them.
Speaker 12: Porter Prince Rupert very supportive of the LNG expansions that
Speaker 12: are underway as well as additional new LNG proposals. We
Speaker 12: have talked about an interertie so that we can have
Speaker 12: our electricity systems with greater integration, and of course expanding
Speaker 12: the capacity of the Trans Mountain Pipeline by putting in
Speaker 12: additional measures compression and a few other things. They can
Speaker 12: actually expand the capacity as well as judging the second narrows,
Speaker 12: and we've been supportive of that as well. So I
Speaker 12: would say that what we're looking forward to is a
Speaker 12: potential to restart what I think have been a transformational
Speaker 12: project with Northern Gateway. May not be the same route,
Speaker 12: it may need it certainly needs to have a lot
Speaker 12: more consultation. The first time that it went through it
Speaker 12: had thirty five indigenous partners who were equity owners in
Speaker 12: that and that has to be the starting point for
Speaker 12: any new project. There has to be meaningful engagement and
Speaker 12: meaningful economic involvement of nations. So we're advancing that along
Speaker 12: with the pathways project because we think that having lower
Speaker 12: and lower emissions is also a way to demonstrate some
Speaker 12: of that. We've listened to some of the concerns about
Speaker 12: that have been raised by British Columbia. But I would
Speaker 12: say that our priority is to work on those first
Speaker 12: four projects that I mentioned, and then if we can
Speaker 12: get to a point where we have a proponent and
Speaker 12: are able to start on that, then we will.
Speaker 4: Thanks very much for the question.
Speaker 13: Let me just begin. We're facing a bit of a
Speaker 13: situation in British Columbia right now. At our Red cris
Speaker 13: mine in northwest British Columbia, there was an act accident overnight.
Speaker 13: There are three miners that are currently trapped underground. They are,
Speaker 13: to the best of our knowledge, uninjured and in a
Speaker 13: refuge area. There was early communication with the company. The
Speaker 13: company is working with our world leading mining rescue teams.
Speaker 13: BC miners are the best in the world. Our rescue
Speaker 13: teams are exceptional and they will be working over time
Speaker 13: to bring these workers home safely to their families. Two
Speaker 13: of the workers are from British Columbia, one is from Ontario.
Speaker 13: I've spoken with Premier Ford and we're keeping his government
Speaker 13: up to date as well. Obviously, it's very concerning for
Speaker 13: the families, for the workers in the sector and all
Speaker 13: British Columbians and Canadians, and our thoughts are with the
Speaker 13: families and appreciation with the incredibly brave rescue teams that
Speaker 13: are working right now. On your question, I agree strongly
Speaker 13: with Premier Smith that we have a huge amount of
Speaker 13: work to do that is going to create incredible economic
Speaker 13: opportunity for our two provinces. It is without doubt we
Speaker 13: have our points of disagreement, but there are far more
Speaker 13: points of agreement in terms of how we're going to
Speaker 13: build our economies and our respective provinces. My focus as
Speaker 13: the BC Premier is on projects that we have where
Speaker 13: we're either imminent in terms of final investment decision or
Speaker 13: final investment decision has been taken, and we need a
Speaker 13: strong federal partner to be able to support us in
Speaker 13: delivering those projects. North of fifty billion dollars worth of
Speaker 13: projects and our province alone, and what I've encouraged the
Speaker 13: Prime Minister and Premier Smith to do about their project
Speaker 13: that they're excited about is to identify a proponent and
Speaker 13: to move forward with that if that is the direction
Speaker 13: that they'd like to go. I will acknowledge some frustration
Speaker 13: that we have so many projects that are either imminent
Speaker 13: shovel in the ground projects, or with a small amount
Speaker 13: of support from the federal government would be ready to go,
Speaker 13: and a lot of the discussion is around this project
Speaker 13: that does not currently have a proponent. So let's get
Speaker 13: working on what we can do to build this country
Speaker 13: and build our economy. And when Premier Smith and the
Speaker 13: Prime Minister are in position with a proponent were absolutely
Speaker 13: willing to have those conversations with them.
Speaker 7: Hi there, Kate mcckenna with CBC. This is for Premier Ford.
Speaker 7: Premier Ford, I'm wondering if you could expand on some
Speaker 7: of what you were talking about regarding the conflicts between
Speaker 7: the federal government and the provinces over immigration. What exactly
Speaker 7: is the issue and what did the federal minister say?
Speaker 9: Well, I wouldn't say it's a conflict. The conversation we
Speaker 9: had with a Prime minister is very open and under
Speaker 9: the constitution that I have to thank Premier Smith for
Speaker 9: mentioning we have authority in that area. No one understands
Speaker 9: their sectors and their labor force better than the premiers.
Speaker 9: And by no means, I want to emphasize, it's no
Speaker 9: means the Prime Minister's well, this is issue right now,
Speaker 9: but this has been going on for decades. I'll give
Speaker 9: you an example. I have a tremendous amount of asylum
Speaker 9: seekers that are up in the Tobocco and in the hotels.
Speaker 9: They're healthy, they're willing to work, they're hard working people,
Speaker 9: but they're waiting over two years and they're just sucking
Speaker 9: off the system NonStop. Not their fault the fault falls
Speaker 9: under immigration that it takes over two years to get
Speaker 9: a work permit. So as we're paying, paying, education, paying healthcare, paying,
Speaker 9: they're renting hotels, which is exorbeignant. They want to get
Speaker 9: out there and they want to be like every other Canadian.
Speaker 9: They want to find a job. They want to be
Speaker 9: able to first start off fronting whatever a condo or
Speaker 9: part of a house and then buying a house. But
Speaker 9: we're tired of waiting around. I can't wait around. It's
Speaker 9: costing our province an absolute fortune. Just last year we
Speaker 9: were close to one hundred thousand itlum seekers and I'm
Speaker 9: still waiting to get to pay, you know, get paid
Speaker 9: back from the federal government. That's one issue. But there's
Speaker 9: jobs available in Ontario and we need to give them
Speaker 9: work permits and make sure that they're out there working
Speaker 9: and contributing back to society.
Speaker 4: I'm not waiting any longer.
Speaker 9: We're issuing work permits in Ontario for these folks to
Speaker 9: give back and contribute to society in in Ontario.

Speaker 7: I'm wondering if you could reflect on how these teriff
Speaker 7: threats have affected federal provincial relations in Canada.
Speaker 15: I think the the the impact of the tariff situation,
Speaker 15: the whole negotiation, it's it's it's it's a really hard
Speaker 15: thing for Canadians. Obviously Canadians are galvanized, and I would
Speaker 15: definitely say that it has uh it's brought the federal
Speaker 15: government and the provincial governments. I would say closer closer together.
Speaker 15: It's it's it's really we all see the opportunities that
Speaker 15: we have before us to make for a stronger country.
Speaker 15: We're all pushing in that direction. So we've had some
Speaker 15: really positive meetings today and over the last couple of
Speaker 15: days actually, and I think everyone is really united and
Speaker 15: on the same page of just really seizing the opportunities
Speaker 15: that are before us that in the past we may
Speaker 15: have looked away from that. Right now we're all looking square.
Speaker 11: We at hyper Mackenzie Gray with Global News, we heard
Speaker 11: Doug Ford this morning talk about the idea that there
Speaker 11: should be dollar for dollar retaliatory tariffs against the Americans.
Speaker 11: On the flip side, both got Mow and Daniel Smith
Speaker 11: say that we shouldn't retaliate, that the impact of tariff's
Speaker 11: on American consumers is what should push forward. What's your position,
Speaker 11: how should KNADA push back?
Speaker 15: Yeah, I think look, there's there's h there's people at
Speaker 15: the at the negotiating table that have more information and
Speaker 15: you know they're they're kind of working to a strategy.
Speaker 15: What I would say is I actually have tremendous confidence
Speaker 15: in the Prime Minister and and the team that is
Speaker 15: representing us as Canadians to look at all of the
Speaker 15: the factors and the moving parts and come up to
Speaker 15: the best deal for Canadians. So I think it's just
Speaker 15: really important that we keep moving for what is the
Speaker 15: best possible deal for Canadians, and and and all the
Speaker 15: while knowing that the the US administration changes their thoughts
Speaker 15: on things quite frequently. So I know that it's a
Speaker 15: difficult position for our negotiating team, for our Prime minister.
Speaker 15: But I have a tremendous faith in the team that's
Speaker 15: representing us to get the best deal, and that's where
Speaker 15: my focus is.
Speaker 16: Hello Premier Michael Sapio with SEPAC. You know, this is
Speaker 16: the third time the first ministers have been able to
Speaker 16: get together since Mark Karney became Prime Minister won the election.
Speaker 16: I'm wondering concretely on an economic front, what has been
Speaker 16: achieved by these meetings. Either the challenge economically for many
Speaker 16: Canadians is immediate, what has been achieved with these meetings?
Speaker 15: First off, isn't it great? Like these these are such
Speaker 15: important relationships for Canadians, and we're all kind of binding
Speaker 15: together and spending time together to really understand the sensitivities
Speaker 15: that we have in our own areas. But but also
Speaker 15: the the as I talked about, the opportunities so I think,
Speaker 15: you know, for the for the Prime Minister and his team,
Speaker 15: the passage of you know, Bill C five is significant
Speaker 15: for for for myself and other premiers. You know, we're
Speaker 15: doing what weekend in terms of the intraverential trade trade variers.
Speaker 15: So there's a lot of concrete action in just those
Speaker 15: two things. But but the spill down from those two
Speaker 15: things is very significant. But the the the major projects
Speaker 15: that nation building projects everyone a termat, there's a lot
Speaker 15: of them, certainly in Nova Scotia. I'm passionate about our
Speaker 15: wind opportunity, and I think I'm actually seeing that move
Speaker 15: at a significant pace. There's lots of eyes to dot
Speaker 15: and teased across and technical analysis to happen. But the
Speaker 15: very first step is to have agreement that there's something
Speaker 15: there and getting that agreement, you know that that's something
Speaker 15: that might have taken years before, But because of the
Speaker 15: relationships that are being built, we can see where everyone
Speaker 15: stands much sooner in the process. So I think Canadians
Speaker 15: should feel proud of the way that the governments are
Speaker 15: working together, and I think Canadians should feel incredibly optimistic
Speaker 15: that they're elected officials realize the need for urgency and
Speaker 15: feel that urgency. It's still government in many ways, but
Speaker 15: I will say that that urgency has felt that. I'm personally,
Speaker 15: as a Canadian, incredibly optimistic about the future of this
Speaker 15: country right now.
Speaker 16: Do you have any idea when a deal or deals
Speaker 16: and projects might actually be chosen, highlighted and moved forward with?
Speaker 15: Yeah, I think you know, initially we talked about put
Speaker 15: some put give them some things to assess. You know,
Speaker 15: over the summer that certainly happened. There's lots of lots
Speaker 15: of potential projects and good, good ones, and I think
Speaker 15: you know, everybody is in some respects opening for the
Speaker 15: waiting for the major project's office to open that will
Speaker 15: be openly understand maybe by Labor Day, and there'll be
Speaker 15: capacity in there to really do analysis on them. So
Speaker 15: I think for me personally, I have in my mind
Speaker 15: that over over the fall, maybe early fall, would have
Speaker 15: some good clarity on the early kind of the early
Speaker 15: wins that that the governments would see for our country.
Speaker 15: So it's all happening.
Speaker 3: Mickey here with Politico following today's update from the Prime Minister.
Speaker 3: How realistic is it that we will get a deal
Speaker 3: by August first?
Speaker 4: I haven't been and focused on the date.
Speaker 15: I think, you know sometimes and there was there was
Speaker 15: some discussion at the table today from others as well,
Speaker 15: kind of share that the ideas get the best deal.
Speaker 15: And I would be worried that if we constrain ourselves
Speaker 15: that we have to get a deal by a certain date,
Speaker 15: that we maybe have to, you know, maybe do some things,
Speaker 15: or give up some things, or we give up some
Speaker 15: leverage that we might not otherwise have to if we
Speaker 15: just focus on getting the best deal. So I think
Speaker 15: it's just really important that we get the best deal
Speaker 15: for Canadians. And I'm personally not focused on the date.
Speaker 3: And is there what else can the federal government be
Speaker 3: doing that they aren't?
Speaker 15: As I said, I have great confidence and you know,
Speaker 15: certainly Minister of a Blog is all in on this.
Speaker 15: Number of his cabinet colleagues are. But I you know,
Speaker 15: just the the the abilities of the Prime minister are
Speaker 15: something that I'm I'm I'm confident.
Speaker 17: In high Premier Houston Olivia Spianovich CBC News. What does
Speaker 17: the best deal look like to you? Does it involve
Speaker 17: no tariffs? Do we have to give up something else?
Speaker 15: Well, I mean, obviously you know no tariffs is is great,
Speaker 15: but we're not in that world right now. You look
Speaker 15: at what's what the president has happened, is doing what
Speaker 15: he's what he's pushing forward as his agenda. So we
Speaker 15: have to we just have to be open minded about
Speaker 15: what that might look like. But again there's many moving.
Speaker 4: Parts to that.
Speaker 15: I think the the Kuzma Carbotkusma is really important to
Speaker 15: our country, So keeping that intact is really really important,
Speaker 15: and the rest will all kind of fall into place.
Speaker 17: And how much longer should we be until we see
Speaker 17: more retaliation? How much longer are you going to give
Speaker 17: the Americans?
Speaker 15: Well it's not just me that makes that decision, but
Speaker 15: but but I think, look, we have to be we
Speaker 15: have to be conscious of the impact on retaliation on
Speaker 15: our own economy, because there is one as well. So
Speaker 15: so it's finding that balance about, you know, making sure
Speaker 15: that the President understands we're an important customer of the
Speaker 15: United States. We are, and we're good friends and long
Speaker 15: standing allies, but but also that you know we're not.
Speaker 15: We can't just be pushed around either. So there's finding
Speaker 15: that balance between you know, pushing back a little bit
Speaker 15: but but never losing sight of what the ultimate goal
Speaker 15: is and that's the best possible deal under the circumstances
Speaker 15: that we face. You know, we didn't we didn't initiate
Speaker 15: this as a country win start this. We're just we're
Speaker 15: just having to deal with what's in front of us,
Speaker 15: and I'm actually proud of the way that it's being dealt.
Speaker 18: With High Premier how high Colin Demello from Global News.
Speaker 18: There are going to be a lot of competing projects,
Speaker 18: a lot of competing interests in front of the federal government.
Speaker 18: Did you get any clarity today in terms of how
Speaker 18: they're going to prioritize all the convening projects from the provinces.
Speaker 15: It wasn't like everyone has the best project. I know,
Speaker 15: why not when West is the best project and the
Speaker 15: energy like that, but others that theirs is the best.
Speaker 15: So but I mean, this will be the Major Project's Office.
Speaker 4: We'll be looking.
Speaker 15: At, you know, impact on national GDP. We'll be looking at,
Speaker 15: you know, the best bang for the buck for the country.
Speaker 15: So I know they'll have their criteria there that devisass
Speaker 15: it and it'll be up to It'll be up to us,
Speaker 15: as you know, the the advocates for these projects to
Speaker 15: make our case. So I know that I have some
Speaker 15: work to do and to build up my business case,
Speaker 15: and others do as well. But I think as a country,
Speaker 15: we should feel good about the opportunity that is before
Speaker 15: is because it is very significant.
Speaker 18: One of the things that Premier for did You mentioned
Speaker 18: was if the thirty five percent tariffs go into effect
Speaker 18: on August first, that there should be dollar for dollar
Speaker 18: retaliatory tariffs. I'm wondering how you feel about dollar for
Speaker 18: dollar retaliatory terraffs, especially since Trump has said that he
Speaker 18: would match that with a similar kind of tariffs, and
Speaker 18: what was the temperature in the room for some kind
Speaker 18: of retaliation for teriffs.
Speaker 15: Look, I think I think for me, it's just having
Speaker 15: the ability to to step away and have confidence that
Speaker 15: the people at the table are assessing what's the best
Speaker 15: move for our country at that time. And I don't
Speaker 15: want to second guess that, and I don't want to
Speaker 15: presuppose the outcome of that, And I think there's there's
Speaker 15: lots of people that feel that way too. But I
Speaker 15: have confidence in in the Prime Minister and the and
Speaker 15: negotiating team to get the best deal for the country
Speaker 15: under very difficult circumstances. So I'm conscious of that as well.
Speaker 15: So I don't want to presuppose what that deal looks like,
Speaker 15: but just that you know, we have confidence that we're
Speaker 15: as a country being represented.
Speaker 4: In the best possible way. I feel that way right now.
Speaker 15: Thanks everyone, Thank.
Speaker 7: You m.
Speaker 2: Uh bringer ed.
Speaker 13: Hello everyone. Great to see you. It has been a
Speaker 13: productive set of meetings already for British Columbia. We had
Speaker 13: the opportunity to sign some agreements with you, with Manitoba
Speaker 13: and Ontario about getting rid of internal trade barriers, making
Speaker 13: life a little bit more affordable for Canadians, getting Ontarians
Speaker 13: access to that high quality British Columbia wine. Lots of
Speaker 13: great things to celebrate, working with the Yukon to electrify
Speaker 13: that territory and help them grow their economy, Lots of
Speaker 13: great projects on the go. Had the opportunity with the
Speaker 13: Prime Minister to discuss projects of significance and importance to
Speaker 13: British Columbia, like the northwest of our province, the mining
Speaker 13: opportunities that are there. I'm very excited about the Northwest
Speaker 13: transmission line that will electrify that and the work that
Speaker 13: we can do together, looking forward to that. While I
Speaker 13: was having a sidebar conversation with the Prime Minister, I
Speaker 13: took the opportunity to deliver a letter from Bailey McCourt's family.
Speaker 13: Bailey McCourt was murdered by her ex husband in Colonna,
Speaker 13: a horrific attack the Prime Minister has committed on multiple occasions,
Speaker 13: which I'm grateful for to bail reform and Bailey McCort's
Speaker 13: family underlying the importance of bail reform around intimate partner violence.
Speaker 13: In my opinion, and I know an opinion shared by
Speaker 13: many Canadians, there's a special place in hell for men
Speaker 13: that murder and attack their spouses or girlfriends, and ensuring
Speaker 13: that they stay behind bars and are not released to
Speaker 13: complete a cycle of violence is a priority for us,
Speaker 13: and I'm grateful to know that priority shared by the
Speaker 13: Prime Minister. Finally, I'd like to take a moment to
Speaker 13: reflect on the comments of the American ambassador recently appointed
Speaker 13: about his support for the President's comments that Canadians are
Speaker 13: mean and nasty because we are boycotting American liquor and
Speaker 13: refusing to travel to the US while they attack our
Speaker 13: sovereignty and threaten our economy through the President. You know, obviously,
Speaker 13: if you're a mean and nasty Canadian for standing up
Speaker 13: for our sovereignty and our economy and our jobs. I
Speaker 13: think those Canadians would be proud to be considered mean
Speaker 13: and nasty, but to be blunt, Americans are our friends,
Speaker 13: our colleagues, and family members in many cases. And the
Speaker 13: remarks the ambassador delivered were delivered at a conference, the
Speaker 13: Pacific Northwest Economic Region Conference. We worked in close partnership
Speaker 13: with those states for many, many years on flood mitigation,
Speaker 13: economic growth, the Cascadia Corridor. It's grown our economies. We've
Speaker 13: all benefited from it. It's an example of why we
Speaker 13: have no interest in being mean and nasty. We want
Speaker 13: to be in partnership with the Americans, and we need
Speaker 13: the President to understand the benefits the flow from working
Speaker 13: in cooperation. So with that, happy to take your questions
Speaker 13: and laforida our conversation here.
Speaker 16: Hello, Premier, maybe Michael Sarabi with seapak. Earlier today, we
Speaker 16: saw your colleagues from Saskatchewan, Alberta and Ontario announce memo
Speaker 16: Understanding Memorandi of understanding to to work towards energy corridors pipelines,
Speaker 16: and in that news conference and both the premiers of
Speaker 16: Saskatchewan and Alberta talked about the northern BC coast, say
Speaker 16: it presents the best opportunity to get oil to global markets,
Speaker 16: and they also called for once again the dropping of
Speaker 16: a number of regulations that includes the tanker ban off
Speaker 16: the BC coast. I'm wondering, given that this is the
Speaker 16: third time that the premiers the first Ministers have come together,
Speaker 16: whether you are now more open to dropping that ban,
Speaker 16: giving the support towards that and exploring the possibility of
Speaker 16: a pipeline to the BC coast up north.
Speaker 13: Well, I mean, let's look at what's happening in BC's
Speaker 13: North around energy. We have the first shipment of LERG
Speaker 13: from BC's coast. We will make a material difference in
Speaker 13: Canada's GDP, the largest private sector investment in Canadian history.
Speaker 13: The proponents are looking at a second phase right now.
Speaker 13: In terms of traditional energy projects. We also have seter
Speaker 13: Lergy and Stylism's Energy either are reaching final investment decision
Speaker 13: or in construction. So there are major energy projects that
Speaker 13: are happening that will also benefit Alberta in BC's North.
Speaker 13: For the pipeline project, the Premier Smith is a great
Speaker 13: enthusiast of a heavy oil pipeline project. There is no project,
Speaker 13: there is no proponent, there's no private sector money involved
Speaker 13: at all that I'm aware of. When Premier Smith crosses
Speaker 13: those obvious hurdles to get a project done, then let's
Speaker 13: have those conversations. But to be blunt, we have major
Speaker 13: projects that are moving ahead and that's where our focus is.
Speaker 16: Would it be easier to find an investor if the
Speaker 16: BC government we're open to actually letting that pipeline go
Speaker 16: to the BC northern coast.
Speaker 13: Well, we own an heavy oil pipeline right now as
Speaker 13: Canadians that goes to the BC coast. It's the Trans
Speaker 13: Mountain Pipeline project. It's up for sale. The federal government
Speaker 13: can't sell it. The major pipeline proponents that one would
Speaker 13: expect to be participating in the North are not, and
Speaker 13: so I think there's a reason for that. I think
Speaker 13: there's others run investment in British Columbia and Alberta. We're supportive.
Speaker 13: If Premier Smith can cross that hurdle of identifying a
Speaker 13: proponent and an actual project, then let's have a conversation.
Speaker 13: But in the meantime, we're encouraging the federal government and
Speaker 13: for ourselves, the focus is on projects with proponents that
Speaker 13: are ready to go, that are through environmental assessment, and
Speaker 13: if we do that, we can deliver some really big
Speaker 13: projects for Canada. You see, will be the economic engine,
Speaker 13: frankly of the new economy that we're building here in
Speaker 13: Canada because of our port, access, access to market, the
Speaker 13: resources we have, and we're going to facilitate access for
Speaker 13: other provinces too to get to those markets, just as
Speaker 13: we always have.
Speaker 3: Hey, Mickey with Politico here, have you brought up the
Speaker 3: issue of the ostriches with the Prime Minister and would
Speaker 3: you like to see him intervene in a way where
Speaker 3: they can be saved.
Speaker 13: No, I have not brought up that issue with the
Speaker 13: Prime Minister. I understand there was a recent court decision
Speaker 13: on that. I know for British Columbia, we don't take
Speaker 13: our public health advice from RFK and from doctor Oz.
Speaker 13: Bird flu is a very serious issue in British Columbia,
Speaker 13: and so it's obviously a challenging issue. They're beautiful birds
Speaker 13: and bird flu is a massive and profoundly concerning issue
Speaker 13: for farmers in British Columbia, and I know across Canada.
Speaker 19: Hi, I'm ir Majukidu Canada about the EMU signed with
Speaker 19: Ontario on free trade. Can you tell us a little
Speaker 19: more about what concretely will change and what timelines.
Speaker 17: Are we working with.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 13: Absolutely, we're working with Ontario right now on a direct
Speaker 13: to consumer model.
Speaker 4: For BC.
Speaker 13: Alcohol products and Ontario alcohol products, where producers can sell
Speaker 13: directly to consumers and our respective provinces. But I mean,
Speaker 13: what I would really love with Ontario. We have an agreement,
Speaker 13: free trade agreement that works in Western Canada. It's called
Speaker 13: the New Wes Partnership. We can change the name if
Speaker 13: Ontario wants to come on board, but this is an
Speaker 13: agreement that's in place, has established standards, is working for provinces.
Speaker 13: Allows us to maintain standards around safety for workers and
Speaker 13: other protections that are necessary while facilitating free trade. And
Speaker 13: I'll be pushing Premier Ford as part of this agreement
Speaker 13: to sign on to the New West Partnership because that
Speaker 13: would be the easiest and fastest way to facilitate free
Speaker 13: trade between our provinces and as well as Manitoba, Saskatchewan
Speaker 13: and Alberta.
Speaker 19: Have you breached that with Premiere Ford and what did
Speaker 19: he say?
Speaker 13: Yes, we have raised this issue with Premier Ford and
Speaker 13: his team, and we'll continue to do so. They're not
Speaker 13: quite ready to sign on, but I hope they will be.
Speaker 4: Hi Isaaid Colin global use.
Speaker 17: I just want to ask about the MoU on the pipelines.
Speaker 4: Were you invited to sign that at any point? No,
Speaker 4: I wasn't. Would you have if you've been invited to?
Speaker 4: I don't know what it said?
Speaker 13: Thanks everyone, Thanks very much everybody.
Speaker 5: I'm not dressed for this, Okay, Well, first, I just
Speaker 5: want to I want to thank Premier Ford for his
Speaker 5: hospitality allowing us to have a first minute meeting on
Speaker 5: top of the Council of the Federation, and also thank
Speaker 5: all the premiers and their staffs for.
Speaker 4: Addressed for this.
Speaker 5: Okay, well, first, I just want to I want to
Speaker 5: thank Premier Ford for his hospitality allowing us to have
Speaker 5: a first minister's meeting on top of the Council of
Speaker 5: the Federation, and also thank all the premiers and their
Speaker 5: staffs for the engagement work. You know, this is a
Speaker 5: united group of First Ministers, a group focused on building
Speaker 5: our country, building positively building here at home, building one
Speaker 5: Canadian economy, but also building uh nation building projects from
Speaker 5: coast to coast to coast and developing new trade relations
Speaker 5: around the world. We did have a good discussion around
Speaker 5: these ongoing negotiations with the United States, but really a
Speaker 5: large part of our exchanges traded on what we can do,
Speaker 5: what we can control, and how we can move forward.

Speaker 5: Le Biennette de Cannetia. With that, I'm very pleased to
Speaker 5: take your questions.
Speaker 3: Hi, I'm mickey with Politico here.
Speaker 4: How realistic is it to get a deal by August?
Speaker 5: First, Well, that depends and then there's two sides to
Speaker 5: a deal. We will obviously we're working on behalf of
Speaker 5: Canadians and we will agree a deal if there's one
Speaker 5: on the table that is in the best interests of Canadians,
Speaker 5: just as the United States will do and the look
Speaker 5: for the best interests of the US. There have been
Speaker 5: a series of discussions. Senior ministers have been in Washington.
Speaker 5: They'll be returning, mister Labla for example, We'll be in
Speaker 5: Washington for the balance of the week, as will be
Speaker 5: my chief of staff, other officials for those discussions. But
Speaker 5: you know, they're complex negotiations and we'll use all the
Speaker 5: time that's necessary and agree something that's in the interests
Speaker 5: of Canadians. If that's a bill.
Speaker 20: Thank you, Rachel Yellow CTV News. Can you elaborate on
Speaker 20: what that means to get a good deal for Canada tangibly?
Speaker 20: What does that include? And if we can't get there,
Speaker 20: will Canada retaliate?
Speaker 5: Well, the first thing is we're working positively for a deal.
Speaker 5: Will take stock if there isn't one that works, But
Speaker 5: that depends on the overall circumstance. That's the first the
Speaker 5: elements of what's positive. And let's start from the position
Speaker 5: of you know, really the longest standing and one of
Speaker 5: the largest trading relationships in the world between Canada the
Speaker 5: United States. Relationship until recently that hadn't been terra free
Speaker 5: relationship that has many integrated sectors, including the auto sector,
Speaker 5: the steel sector, the energy sector and beyond. And so
Speaker 5: a good deal is something that preserves, reinforces and stabilizes
Speaker 5: those relationships as much as possible. A good deal is
Speaker 5: also one that doesn't tie our hands in terms of
Speaker 5: other things that we can do, so that we can
Speaker 5: pursue that positive agenda that we focus so much of
Speaker 5: our time on. And uh and and maybe just to
Speaker 5: go back to the start of of of your question, look,
Speaker 5: will we have a lot to do in this country.
Speaker 5: We have a lot positive to do in this country,
Speaker 5: building this country in a way, building one Canadian economy.
Speaker 5: We our phone is ringing off the hook from other
Speaker 5: countries who want to do more with Canada. I've had
Speaker 5: over eighty bilaterals with world leaders since i became Prime Minister.
Speaker 5: A number of those premiers have been on major trade missions.
Speaker 5: We have other things to do, and so we're going
Speaker 5: to focus more and more of our time on those
Speaker 5: positive aspects going forward.
Speaker 21: Thank you, abilities av The am a collegnikis possibility.

Speaker 5: I went on too long, but in effect what I
Speaker 5: was saying was that no, actually it's the contrary many
Speaker 5: For the projects to be of interest, to be of
Speaker 5: national interest, it has to benefit multiple stakeholders, multiple provinces,
Speaker 5: advance our interests, advance the interests of indigenous people, also
Speaker 5: move us towards our climate objectives. So I gave the
Speaker 5: example of an Entertai project in the northwest corner of
Speaker 5: British columb Beer, which has benefits for the Yukon, for
Speaker 5: the Northwest territories for Alberta and actually unlocks critical minerals
Speaker 5: and other investments. So that's how you see the elements
Speaker 5: of unification. There's uh the port to Port to port
Speaker 5: project that's been proposed by for the Western the four
Speaker 5: Western provinces including BC and and the territories be another example.
Speaker 5: And win West which implicates if I can put it
Speaker 5: that way all of the Atlantic provinces.

Speaker 5: Yeah, prow the to the perspective, the necessity sector vid.
Speaker 4: Some almost see.
Speaker 5: Letter effective Canada soba yeah de sector quisson Yeah, in
Speaker 5: fact they come and the last benningas was just well
Speaker 5: the first thing in terms of addressing affected SEC sectors,
Speaker 5: I observe that there's a different timeline for force products
Speaker 5: because it's part of a longer standing UH trade action
Speaker 5: by the United States.
Speaker 4: There's a legal process.
Speaker 5: What we're looking to do is is bring that into
Speaker 5: the same timeline, if possible as the other negotiations.
Speaker 7: UH.
Speaker 4: We should address it UH and we have proposals in
Speaker 4: order to do that.
Speaker 5: We will have to see so it could be a
Speaker 5: different deadline or timeline for addressing support for those workers.
Speaker 5: With respect to aluminum, there has the impact has been
Speaker 5: less than it has been in steel for a variety
Speaker 5: of reasons. But that's not but it's still an impact
Speaker 5: and for all these sectors in effect, as we get
Speaker 5: to the start of the next month.
Speaker 4: We'll be taking stock and looking to provide support.
Speaker 5: All of which to say, when one looks and these
Speaker 5: effectors of these sectors are very much they are affected.
Speaker 5: It's different degrees, but they are affected. As understandable, these
Speaker 5: are very large tariffs. This is very sharp change in
Speaker 5: their training relationship. But when we look at them outside
Speaker 5: of those very important sectors steel, aluminum, automobiles, forest products perspectively, copper,
Speaker 5: and pharmaceuticals, the effective tariff that faces most Canadian goods
Speaker 5: and services is very low. I just want to finish,
Speaker 5: if if I might out of yeah, to re emphasize,
Speaker 5: to reemphasize the spirit of this meeting, the substance of
Speaker 5: the meeting, and the substance of our approach, which is positive.
Speaker 4: This is about building this country.
Speaker 5: We're getting more and more concrete about how we're going
Speaker 5: to do that, and it's about building other relationships at
Speaker 5: the same time. At best, if at all possible, we
Speaker 5: would be developing, we would be developing our relationships are
Speaker 5: you know, coming to a good accord with the United States.
Speaker 4: But the importance is to build up.
Speaker 7: I'm just talking about it as in a trunk, just quickly.
Speaker 2: What happens if there's no deal in.
Speaker 5: August first, well, I mean we'll see. We're working to
Speaker 5: get the best deal for Canadians and that's the focus now.
Speaker 5: I think what's absolutely clear is we have a lot
Speaker 5: to do in this country. We have a lot to
Speaker 5: do that's positive, to build, that's becoming more concrete. Canadians
Speaker 5: are excited about that, you know, people like Canadians are.
Speaker 5: What's coming out is how fundamentally positive Canadians are. They
Speaker 5: want to build, they want to move forward, they don't
Speaker 5: want to dispute, and if if, if there's challenges south
Speaker 5: of the border with that relationship. We'll focus on what
Speaker 5: we can do in this great country. And you know,
Speaker 5: if you're if you're looking for where to spend your vacation,
Speaker 5: Canadians are spending their vacations across this great land.
Speaker 4: And I'll just this my last word.
Speaker 5: I will just give a short plug for the one
Speaker 5: Canada pass, which means that visiting it's important, visiting our
Speaker 5: national parks, visiting our museums, bringing your children, including bringing
Speaker 5: your children eighteen and under under via rail at these
Speaker 5: reduced prices or free uh. And it's a pleasure that
Speaker 5: Canadians are taking advantage of.
Speaker 4: What else, what else say? What else say to that?
Speaker 4: What else say to that? What else say?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 4: I'll say to that?
Speaker 5: Is that Canadians are fundamentally positive people. That's that's what
Speaker 5: Canadians are. Canadians are making choices to visit this great country,
Speaker 5: spend time here with their family, with their friends.
Speaker 7: Uh.
Speaker 5: They're making choices to buy Canadian projects, products they're making,
Speaker 5: and we're making choices to build Canadian projects. That's that
Speaker 5: is that is uh, that is happy, positive, productive, and
Speaker 5: that's the true nature of Canada.
