00:00:04.200 --> 00:00:06.160
<v Speaker 1>Thank you for listening to pictures.

2
00:00:06.320 --> 00:00:27.719
<v Speaker 2>Media Radio. Welcome to policy and rights shows. Welcome to

3
00:00:27.800 --> 00:00:29.760
<v Speaker 2>policy and human Joys.

4
00:01:02.679 --> 00:01:07.319
<v Speaker 3>How realistic is it to get a deal by August first, Well.

5
00:01:07.560 --> 00:01:09.640
<v Speaker 4>That depends, and there's two sides to a deal.

6
00:01:10.959 --> 00:01:15.159
<v Speaker 5>We will obviously we're working on behalf of Canadians and

7
00:01:15.519 --> 00:01:17.480
<v Speaker 5>we will agree a deal if there's one on the

8
00:01:17.519 --> 00:01:20.159
<v Speaker 5>table that is in the best interests of Canadians, just

9
00:01:20.239 --> 00:01:23.120
<v Speaker 5>as the United States will do in the look for

10
00:01:23.200 --> 00:01:25.599
<v Speaker 5>the best interests of the US. There have been a

11
00:01:25.599 --> 00:01:30.159
<v Speaker 5>series of discussions. Senior ministers have been in Washington. They'll

12
00:01:30.159 --> 00:01:33.120
<v Speaker 5>be returning, mister Leblac for example, We'll be in Washington

13
00:01:33.120 --> 00:01:34.519
<v Speaker 5>for the balance of the week, as will be my

14
00:01:34.599 --> 00:01:37.840
<v Speaker 5>chief of staff, other officials for those discussions. But you know,

15
00:01:37.920 --> 00:01:41.680
<v Speaker 5>they're complex negotiations and we'll use all the time that's

16
00:01:41.760 --> 00:01:48.239
<v Speaker 5>necessary and agree something that's in the interests of Canadians

17
00:01:48.840 --> 00:01:49.519
<v Speaker 5>if that's a bill.

18
00:01:53.480 --> 00:01:55.680
<v Speaker 2>Okay, welcome back to policy and right here in depends

19
00:01:55.760 --> 00:02:01.719
<v Speaker 2>Media Radio. I'm your host, Michael Cloggs. So there has

20
00:02:01.840 --> 00:02:05.920
<v Speaker 2>been a Premier's meeting or first Minister's meeting as is

21
00:02:05.959 --> 00:02:09.400
<v Speaker 2>also it's called UH in Ontario hosted of course by

22
00:02:09.400 --> 00:02:13.400
<v Speaker 2>Doug Ford if it was in Ontario, and we are

23
00:02:13.439 --> 00:02:17.560
<v Speaker 2>going to actually hear from Doug Ford as he speaks

24
00:02:17.599 --> 00:02:21.360
<v Speaker 2>about issues of UH that he expects to see from

25
00:02:21.400 --> 00:02:25.319
<v Speaker 2>the federal government. He expects to see a more responsive

26
00:02:25.919 --> 00:02:38.080
<v Speaker 2>and in available immigration system. He expects that immigration system

27
00:02:38.080 --> 00:02:40.479
<v Speaker 2>to respond to the needs of the economy and to

28
00:02:40.639 --> 00:02:45.800
<v Speaker 2>allow for work permits and for foreign workers to be

29
00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:52.000
<v Speaker 2>to to happen. He said that at one point that.

30
00:02:52.280 --> 00:03:00.759
<v Speaker 6>The Foreign Immigration, the Immigration Minister and the the Prime Minister,

31
00:03:00.840 --> 00:03:04.080
<v Speaker 6>we're not exactly on the same page, and that could

32
00:03:04.080 --> 00:03:05.800
<v Speaker 6>be a problem.

33
00:03:06.000 --> 00:03:06.199
<v Speaker 7>Uh.

34
00:03:06.240 --> 00:03:12.199
<v Speaker 2>Hell, mister Ford is expecting that a united front. He

35
00:03:12.960 --> 00:03:14.639
<v Speaker 2>I gotta hand it to Doug Ford on the on

36
00:03:14.719 --> 00:03:20.479
<v Speaker 2>this one that he he does actually preach, Hey, let's

37
00:03:20.560 --> 00:03:25.240
<v Speaker 2>have a united Canadian front. Let's have a have unity

38
00:03:25.520 --> 00:03:28.240
<v Speaker 2>between all the provinces so that we can all join

39
00:03:28.319 --> 00:03:32.919
<v Speaker 2>together and work together and and build a great spot

40
00:03:33.400 --> 00:03:37.319
<v Speaker 2>in in this planet Earth. He has, he has a

41
00:03:37.400 --> 00:03:41.400
<v Speaker 2>lot of uh A good point with that. I don't

42
00:03:41.439 --> 00:03:45.319
<v Speaker 2>always agree with how he goes about those things, but

43
00:03:46.919 --> 00:03:50.800
<v Speaker 2>at least he's speaking out and trying to promote a

44
00:03:51.000 --> 00:03:56.960
<v Speaker 2>united Canada rather than a divided Canada that we try

45
00:03:57.000 --> 00:04:01.280
<v Speaker 2>to figure out what the key issue are and work

46
00:04:01.319 --> 00:04:07.599
<v Speaker 2>on those key issues rather than always well, it is

47
00:04:07.599 --> 00:04:10.560
<v Speaker 2>a democracy, so there's always going to be debate. There's

48
00:04:10.599 --> 00:04:18.199
<v Speaker 2>always going to be opposition versus moving forward and and

49
00:04:18.279 --> 00:04:21.160
<v Speaker 2>the and that comes at a great balance so that

50
00:04:21.199 --> 00:04:24.959
<v Speaker 2>we're moving forward in the best interests of the people,

51
00:04:25.639 --> 00:04:31.399
<v Speaker 2>the land, and all of those other beings that really

52
00:04:31.519 --> 00:04:38.680
<v Speaker 2>can't speak for themselves. That we that that we as

53
00:04:38.800 --> 00:04:43.399
<v Speaker 2>Canadians stick to the idea of stewardship to the rest

54
00:04:43.439 --> 00:04:48.600
<v Speaker 2>of nature. Also, so there's always going to be there's

55
00:04:48.639 --> 00:04:50.519
<v Speaker 2>always going to be debate about how to do that

56
00:04:51.279 --> 00:04:55.079
<v Speaker 2>and there and but as long as we stay united

57
00:04:55.160 --> 00:04:58.040
<v Speaker 2>on on some of those on those key things, those

58
00:04:58.120 --> 00:05:02.519
<v Speaker 2>key ideas, that we're going to build a great country. Okay,

59
00:05:02.680 --> 00:05:09.480
<v Speaker 2>there's also gonna be some debate over pipelines. No one's

60
00:05:09.519 --> 00:05:12.959
<v Speaker 2>actually talking directly about the pipelines, but we know that

61
00:05:13.000 --> 00:05:22.360
<v Speaker 2>the pipeline projects are a priority. They're trying not to

62
00:05:22.519 --> 00:05:25.959
<v Speaker 2>talk about it too much in public because of the

63
00:05:26.120 --> 00:05:30.000
<v Speaker 2>environmental things. Let's face it, there is no pipeline in

64
00:05:30.040 --> 00:05:32.519
<v Speaker 2>the world that does not leak. There is no pipeline

65
00:05:32.519 --> 00:05:35.720
<v Speaker 2>in the world that doesn't cause eventually caused some sort

66
00:05:35.800 --> 00:05:40.680
<v Speaker 2>of environmental disaster in some place. If you think that,

67
00:05:40.920 --> 00:05:45.279
<v Speaker 2>think that you're living in a dream world. If you

68
00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:49.160
<v Speaker 2>think that, oh, the pipelines have to be absolutely safe,

69
00:05:49.199 --> 00:05:53.000
<v Speaker 2>they don't disperse hazardous material along the way they do,

70
00:05:57.600 --> 00:06:01.480
<v Speaker 2>and they do it in in map massive doses. When

71
00:06:01.519 --> 00:06:07.600
<v Speaker 2>it happens, it is a massive dose. It makes if

72
00:06:09.959 --> 00:06:15.519
<v Speaker 2>if you remember the town by the lake in I

73
00:06:15.560 --> 00:06:20.279
<v Speaker 2>think it was in Quebec that was decimated because of

74
00:06:20.439 --> 00:06:24.519
<v Speaker 2>a railcar accident. If you think that was bad, let

75
00:06:24.839 --> 00:06:31.680
<v Speaker 2>a pipeline go wrong and they will hide the disaster.

76
00:06:33.759 --> 00:06:37.480
<v Speaker 2>But let's move forward with this, okay, because there's other

77
00:06:37.800 --> 00:06:41.199
<v Speaker 2>issues at hand that really need to be addressed and

78
00:06:41.279 --> 00:06:43.839
<v Speaker 2>really need to be talked about. And we're gonna hear

79
00:06:43.879 --> 00:06:48.319
<v Speaker 2>Mark Carney talk about the tariff issues between the US

80
00:06:48.360 --> 00:06:53.199
<v Speaker 2>and Canada, because well, let's face it that the person

81
00:06:53.240 --> 00:06:56.879
<v Speaker 2>who is sitting in the Oval office in the White House,

82
00:06:58.720 --> 00:07:03.480
<v Speaker 2>he's greedy and he wants his tariff money. He wants

83
00:07:03.519 --> 00:07:10.639
<v Speaker 2>it now. So the question is by August first, and

84
00:07:11.720 --> 00:07:17.000
<v Speaker 2>well i'm recording this it is January twenty third, will

85
00:07:17.040 --> 00:07:23.759
<v Speaker 2>there be a deal on the table that will be

86
00:07:23.839 --> 00:07:28.759
<v Speaker 2>suitable for Canada to sign off on. That is always

87
00:07:28.839 --> 00:07:31.800
<v Speaker 2>going to be a big question is there going to

88
00:07:31.839 --> 00:07:35.079
<v Speaker 2>be a deal put in place that will allow for that.

89
00:07:37.079 --> 00:07:43.319
<v Speaker 2>Interestingly enough that and I think maybe mister Trump is

90
00:07:43.360 --> 00:07:51.000
<v Speaker 2>suffering from dementia on this one, because the US, Canadian

91
00:07:51.120 --> 00:07:56.920
<v Speaker 2>and Mexican trade deal that he says it's so horrible

92
00:07:57.040 --> 00:08:00.639
<v Speaker 2>that Biden put together it was so horrible, was actually

93
00:08:00.639 --> 00:08:05.920
<v Speaker 2>put together by him. He wrote that deal out, He

94
00:08:06.120 --> 00:08:09.800
<v Speaker 2>negotiated that deal and put it in place, and Biden

95
00:08:10.480 --> 00:08:14.360
<v Speaker 2>simply said, it looks good, so let's keep going with it.

96
00:08:18.160 --> 00:08:24.040
<v Speaker 2>Trump put the deal in place that eliminated a lot

97
00:08:24.079 --> 00:08:28.399
<v Speaker 2>of the tires between Canada, the United States, and Mexico.

98
00:08:30.439 --> 00:08:34.720
<v Speaker 2>He put the put together the deal that would have

99
00:08:35.440 --> 00:08:39.080
<v Speaker 2>the three countries working together as a united front in

100
00:08:39.159 --> 00:08:47.480
<v Speaker 2>North America. Wasn't Biden. He did it. So now that

101
00:08:47.600 --> 00:08:51.120
<v Speaker 2>if the deal is no good, he made the deal

102
00:08:51.159 --> 00:08:53.120
<v Speaker 2>to begin with. He was the one who put the

103
00:08:53.120 --> 00:08:59.080
<v Speaker 2>deal in place. So as he's from front dementia and

104
00:08:59.120 --> 00:09:02.799
<v Speaker 2>he's forgetting that he's the one who did it anyway. Okay,

105
00:09:02.960 --> 00:09:07.000
<v Speaker 2>So Mark Karney is going to say that that there

106
00:09:07.120 --> 00:09:08.919
<v Speaker 2>is going to need to be a deal put in

107
00:09:08.960 --> 00:09:12.840
<v Speaker 2>place that is worthy of Canada's signing off on worthy

108
00:09:12.919 --> 00:09:15.840
<v Speaker 2>of his minister's signing off on and he said Minister

109
00:09:15.879 --> 00:09:22.159
<v Speaker 2>of Lebronc is actively working on that before August first.

110
00:09:22.879 --> 00:09:26.200
<v Speaker 2>And one of the big things is, Okay, there's this

111
00:09:26.320 --> 00:09:30.679
<v Speaker 2>statistic out there and I don't know I'm going to

112
00:09:30.799 --> 00:09:33.600
<v Speaker 2>quote this statistic, but don't beat me up because I

113
00:09:33.639 --> 00:09:36.320
<v Speaker 2>haven't actually fact checked this, because I do know that

114
00:09:36.519 --> 00:09:42.720
<v Speaker 2>a good bit of Alberta oil gets sent to Asia

115
00:09:43.320 --> 00:09:49.559
<v Speaker 2>for refinement and then sent back to to the West

116
00:09:49.600 --> 00:09:54.679
<v Speaker 2>coast of Canada in the in the form of gasoline.

117
00:09:55.960 --> 00:09:59.840
<v Speaker 2>Gasoline is not just fuel. There's a lot of other

118
00:10:00.120 --> 00:10:04.679
<v Speaker 2>uses for gasoline in plastics and in making nylon and

119
00:10:05.159 --> 00:10:08.120
<v Speaker 2>other polymers that we can that we can think of.

120
00:10:08.360 --> 00:10:12.200
<v Speaker 2>Because gasoline is now a refined product that can be

121
00:10:12.840 --> 00:10:17.919
<v Speaker 2>they can be produced into other things. So don't think that, oh,

122
00:10:18.320 --> 00:10:22.639
<v Speaker 2>it's being set back to us just for fuel. That

123
00:10:22.799 --> 00:10:27.159
<v Speaker 2>isn't exactly always true. There's other manufacturing ideas and things

124
00:10:27.200 --> 00:10:32.120
<v Speaker 2>do get manufactured here in Canada, so that's that's not true.

125
00:10:32.240 --> 00:10:35.600
<v Speaker 2>And polymers do get do get built here in Canada.

126
00:10:36.000 --> 00:10:40.879
<v Speaker 2>So so in in order to do that from the petroleum,

127
00:10:40.919 --> 00:10:43.600
<v Speaker 2>you need to convert it to clean it up so

128
00:10:43.639 --> 00:10:49.600
<v Speaker 2>that it can be used as gasoline. Okay, the end

129
00:10:49.639 --> 00:10:57.120
<v Speaker 2>of the chemistry lesson. So the statistic is should there

130
00:10:57.159 --> 00:11:05.440
<v Speaker 2>be more refineries because ninety seven percent of the of

131
00:11:05.519 --> 00:11:11.120
<v Speaker 2>the bitriment that is drilled out of Alberta Tarzans is

132
00:11:11.879 --> 00:11:18.039
<v Speaker 2>being sent to the United States. I will say this

133
00:11:18.200 --> 00:11:22.200
<v Speaker 2>much though, that we need more trade partners for the

134
00:11:22.240 --> 00:11:26.240
<v Speaker 2>resources that Canada is shipping out. We need to ship

135
00:11:26.440 --> 00:11:31.679
<v Speaker 2>to other countries besides the United States. And that's just

136
00:11:31.759 --> 00:11:38.960
<v Speaker 2>smart business as as things go. That you can't own

137
00:11:39.000 --> 00:11:43.279
<v Speaker 2>a business only have one customer, that customer dies out,

138
00:11:43.320 --> 00:11:48.200
<v Speaker 2>you're simply put your out of business. If you're a

139
00:11:48.200 --> 00:11:51.639
<v Speaker 2>consultant and you only have one client, you're technically an

140
00:11:51.679 --> 00:11:55.200
<v Speaker 2>employee to that one client. And if that client leads

141
00:11:55.200 --> 00:12:02.200
<v Speaker 2>you or eliminates you're you're out of out of out

142
00:12:02.200 --> 00:12:04.759
<v Speaker 2>of business. If you're out of work, you have to

143
00:12:04.759 --> 00:12:08.799
<v Speaker 2>go drum up business from other places. That's exactly what

144
00:12:08.879 --> 00:12:11.960
<v Speaker 2>Canada needs to do. It needs to find ways to

145
00:12:12.080 --> 00:12:16.039
<v Speaker 2>drum up business from other places, other countries. And if

146
00:12:16.080 --> 00:12:19.679
<v Speaker 2>it is true that just in one day that Mark

147
00:12:19.759 --> 00:12:23.519
<v Speaker 2>Carney took eighty calls for other countries that want to

148
00:12:23.559 --> 00:12:29.679
<v Speaker 2>do business with Canada, let's do that work with those countries,

149
00:12:29.720 --> 00:12:34.320
<v Speaker 2>see what we can get, what we can sell, what

150
00:12:34.440 --> 00:12:39.159
<v Speaker 2>we can trade. How it can all work out, because

151
00:12:39.399 --> 00:12:45.120
<v Speaker 2>if the United States, mister Trump is going to keep threatening, threatening,

152
00:12:45.360 --> 00:12:50.120
<v Speaker 2>and then removing tariffs, and it is not about doing business.

153
00:12:50.480 --> 00:12:54.559
<v Speaker 2>It is about him wanting control. He wants to control

154
00:12:54.639 --> 00:12:57.399
<v Speaker 2>the world's markets, and that's how he's going to do

155
00:12:57.480 --> 00:13:01.720
<v Speaker 2>it is by threatening tariffs. Everybody jumps up, Oh my god,

156
00:13:01.720 --> 00:13:05.440
<v Speaker 2>the United States is going to teriff us. If we

157
00:13:05.600 --> 00:13:14.519
<v Speaker 2>take a step back and we reconsider and limit his

158
00:13:14.799 --> 00:13:17.960
<v Speaker 2>ability to make us jump up and scream, oh my god,

159
00:13:18.039 --> 00:13:21.519
<v Speaker 2>he's hitting us with a tariff. If we do that,

160
00:13:22.679 --> 00:13:26.480
<v Speaker 2>it takes a wind out of his sales. So anyway,

161
00:13:26.799 --> 00:13:32.960
<v Speaker 2>but the main thing about this Premiere summit is this

162
00:13:33.759 --> 00:13:36.279
<v Speaker 2>is that they were trying to find a way to

163
00:13:36.360 --> 00:13:40.320
<v Speaker 2>cause the United Front for Canada. They were trying to

164
00:13:40.360 --> 00:13:46.799
<v Speaker 2>promote projects across Canada in order to make a stronger

165
00:13:46.960 --> 00:13:54.120
<v Speaker 2>infrastructure and one pipelines to move oil products across back

166
00:13:54.120 --> 00:13:58.080
<v Speaker 2>and forth across the country for trade purposes or for

167
00:13:58.200 --> 00:14:04.399
<v Speaker 2>fuel purposes, and building refineries that they also wanted to

168
00:14:05.159 --> 00:14:11.159
<v Speaker 2>bring to bring back to the table again. First Nations issues,

169
00:14:12.799 --> 00:14:17.879
<v Speaker 2>what about Indigenous rights. What about building an indigenous infrastructure

170
00:14:18.320 --> 00:14:22.519
<v Speaker 2>so that the real stewards of the land can step

171
00:14:22.559 --> 00:14:29.200
<v Speaker 2>forward and help make sure that these infrastructure projects are

172
00:14:29.399 --> 00:14:33.799
<v Speaker 2>going the right way. And that was the real purpose

173
00:14:33.960 --> 00:14:37.720
<v Speaker 2>of this particular summit there is we're going to go

174
00:14:37.799 --> 00:14:41.279
<v Speaker 2>on and on about trade things which we need to trade.

175
00:14:43.639 --> 00:14:45.720
<v Speaker 2>We're going to go on and on about the pipelines.

176
00:14:49.120 --> 00:14:52.320
<v Speaker 2>Pipelines may not be the absolute answer, but it is

177
00:14:52.559 --> 00:14:58.639
<v Speaker 2>an answer for helping Alberta get the bitumen and oil

178
00:14:58.720 --> 00:15:05.000
<v Speaker 2>products from Alberta. To say, quote back, it is an answer.

179
00:15:06.000 --> 00:15:12.159
<v Speaker 2>So all answers need to be looked at and talked about, right, Okay,

180
00:15:12.639 --> 00:15:15.000
<v Speaker 2>that was part of the purpose of this summit is

181
00:15:15.039 --> 00:15:21.679
<v Speaker 2>to talk about these things. So we are you're gonna

182
00:15:21.679 --> 00:15:24.440
<v Speaker 2>also hear if you're listening to the podcast, you're gonna

183
00:15:24.480 --> 00:15:29.320
<v Speaker 2>hear Davy eb He makes a statement about about British

184
00:15:29.320 --> 00:15:32.720
<v Speaker 2>Columbia because, let's face it, British Columbia is one of

185
00:15:32.759 --> 00:15:37.960
<v Speaker 2>the with the softwood lumber thing is one of the

186
00:15:37.960 --> 00:15:44.360
<v Speaker 2>biggest resource producers for Canada. Everybody wants to talk about

187
00:15:44.360 --> 00:15:48.720
<v Speaker 2>the oil softwood lumber. He is too far behind, guys,

188
00:15:49.600 --> 00:15:53.799
<v Speaker 2>So David eb He steps up to the table, and

189
00:15:53.840 --> 00:15:58.240
<v Speaker 2>he talks about the softwood lumber and how to ensure

190
00:15:58.360 --> 00:16:01.840
<v Speaker 2>that that softwood lumber get sold around the world for

191
00:16:04.399 --> 00:16:09.000
<v Speaker 2>a construction purposes. Now, the logging industry does need to

192
00:16:09.000 --> 00:16:13.519
<v Speaker 2>be monitored. It's the same as the mining of the

193
00:16:13.559 --> 00:16:17.679
<v Speaker 2>bitumen in Alberta. It needs to be monitored to make

194
00:16:17.759 --> 00:16:23.039
<v Speaker 2>sure that we're doing it responsible, respectfully and leading back

195
00:16:23.080 --> 00:16:27.840
<v Speaker 2>to again the idea of indigenous rights to the land.

196
00:16:29.159 --> 00:16:33.240
<v Speaker 2>They are going to ensure that we are doing things

197
00:16:33.480 --> 00:16:40.679
<v Speaker 2>in a respectful way. So there's a lot of talk

198
00:16:41.200 --> 00:16:45.679
<v Speaker 2>about indigenous partners. Let's see they actually do it all right,

199
00:16:45.759 --> 00:16:48.440
<v Speaker 2>why don't we move forward? And we're just gonna take

200
00:16:48.480 --> 00:16:54.159
<v Speaker 2>it from Doug Ford him talking at the end of

201
00:16:54.200 --> 00:16:58.639
<v Speaker 2>the three days, and we will hear other parts of

202
00:16:58.960 --> 00:17:10.440
<v Speaker 2>and opinions about the meeting, such as Tom Houston as

203
00:17:10.480 --> 00:17:16.000
<v Speaker 2>he chimes in about what happened at the Premier's meeting,

204
00:17:16.559 --> 00:17:19.400
<v Speaker 2>and of course Mark Karney talking about the summer. And

205
00:17:19.519 --> 00:17:23.319
<v Speaker 2>he's also going to answer some questions about other issues

206
00:17:23.440 --> 00:17:30.160
<v Speaker 2>with Canada and at the United States.

207
00:17:30.200 --> 00:17:30.359
<v Speaker 4>Time.

208
00:17:31.640 --> 00:17:36.799
<v Speaker 8>Good afternoon, everyone, Thank you for joining today's news conference.

209
00:17:37.200 --> 00:17:40.839
<v Speaker 8>Bion Venia said, conference Press. We will start out today

210
00:17:40.839 --> 00:17:43.680
<v Speaker 8>with remarks from the chair of the Council Federation Ontario

211
00:17:43.720 --> 00:17:46.599
<v Speaker 8>Premier Doug Ford, followed by remarks in French by the

212
00:17:46.599 --> 00:17:49.839
<v Speaker 8>Premier of Quebec, Francois Lugo. We will then take questions

213
00:17:49.839 --> 00:17:52.400
<v Speaker 8>from media. It is my pleasure to now introduce the

214
00:17:52.440 --> 00:17:54.079
<v Speaker 8>Premier of Ontario, Doug Ford.

215
00:17:56.160 --> 00:17:59.160
<v Speaker 9>Well, thank you so much. I just want to start

216
00:17:59.240 --> 00:18:02.480
<v Speaker 9>by thanking my fellow premiers. I always say I have

217
00:18:02.559 --> 00:18:06.680
<v Speaker 9>a team of champions. For such a positive and productive

218
00:18:06.720 --> 00:18:10.240
<v Speaker 9>meeting over the last few days, I'm proud to stand

219
00:18:10.279 --> 00:18:14.880
<v Speaker 9>shoulders shoulder with my fellow premiers as Team Canada. And

220
00:18:14.960 --> 00:18:19.799
<v Speaker 9>it's never been more important and never been more united

221
00:18:20.000 --> 00:18:23.480
<v Speaker 9>since I've been premier for the last over seven big years.

222
00:18:24.519 --> 00:18:28.160
<v Speaker 9>Over the last three days, Canada's premiers have worked hard

223
00:18:28.160 --> 00:18:32.440
<v Speaker 9>to move forward on our shared priorities. We've met with

224
00:18:32.559 --> 00:18:37.119
<v Speaker 9>the indigenous leaders and frontline healthcare workers. We sat down

225
00:18:37.200 --> 00:18:39.720
<v Speaker 9>with Prime Minister Carney and that's the first time that's

226
00:18:39.759 --> 00:18:44.920
<v Speaker 9>happened to discuss ongoing negotiations with the US and how

227
00:18:44.960 --> 00:18:49.799
<v Speaker 9>we're working together to build a stronger, more competitive economy.

228
00:18:50.480 --> 00:18:53.240
<v Speaker 9>We met as premiers and talked about the issues that

229
00:18:53.279 --> 00:18:57.759
<v Speaker 9>matter most to the people we serve. We talked about

230
00:18:57.799 --> 00:19:01.720
<v Speaker 9>standing up for workers in the fame of President Trump's tariffs.

231
00:19:02.720 --> 00:19:07.960
<v Speaker 9>We talked about cutting red tape, opening internal markets, and

232
00:19:08.119 --> 00:19:12.880
<v Speaker 9>building a stronger, more self reliant economy. We talked about

233
00:19:12.960 --> 00:19:16.920
<v Speaker 9>the need for real bail reform that keeps criminals behind

234
00:19:17.000 --> 00:19:22.400
<v Speaker 9>bars and keeps our community safe. Prime Minister Carney has

235
00:19:22.440 --> 00:19:26.839
<v Speaker 9>made it very clear in the comments to premiers and

236
00:19:26.880 --> 00:19:31.200
<v Speaker 9>will be holding him accountable on bail reform. Premiers are

237
00:19:31.240 --> 00:19:36.119
<v Speaker 9>also calling for a stronger provincial role in immigration for

238
00:19:36.279 --> 00:19:42.359
<v Speaker 9>one simple reason, we know our labor markets best. At

239
00:19:42.359 --> 00:19:48.400
<v Speaker 9>our first minister's meetings. Prime Minister Carney agreed yesterday at

240
00:19:48.440 --> 00:19:52.480
<v Speaker 9>a meeting of federal and provincial immigration ministers, the federal

241
00:19:52.480 --> 00:19:57.799
<v Speaker 9>immigration minister wasn't on the same page as her Prime minister.

242
00:19:58.880 --> 00:20:02.079
<v Speaker 9>We need the Prime Minister to be very very clear

243
00:20:02.519 --> 00:20:06.160
<v Speaker 9>with his minister. She needs to work with the provinces

244
00:20:06.200 --> 00:20:10.200
<v Speaker 9>and territories to fix Canada's immigration system and make it

245
00:20:10.279 --> 00:20:15.880
<v Speaker 9>more responsive to economic and market needs. In the meantime,

246
00:20:16.119 --> 00:20:20.400
<v Speaker 9>Canada's premiers agreed to work together to use our authorities

247
00:20:20.480 --> 00:20:25.839
<v Speaker 9>under Section ninety five of the Constitution, including to issue

248
00:20:26.200 --> 00:20:29.880
<v Speaker 9>our own work permits. I'll speak for Ontario we will

249
00:20:29.920 --> 00:20:33.359
<v Speaker 9>be issuing our own work permits. We are going to

250
00:20:33.400 --> 00:20:37.960
<v Speaker 9>sit around and wait for the federal government. On healthcare,

251
00:20:38.200 --> 00:20:42.160
<v Speaker 9>we're making it easier for nurses and doctors to move

252
00:20:42.319 --> 00:20:46.400
<v Speaker 9>and work anywhere in Canada. We also talked about new

253
00:20:46.440 --> 00:20:51.240
<v Speaker 9>ways to get life saving medications into the hands of

254
00:20:51.319 --> 00:20:57.079
<v Speaker 9>patients faster. But most importantly, we agreed on the need

255
00:20:57.559 --> 00:21:02.359
<v Speaker 9>to remain united. And I've always said united, we stand, divided,

256
00:21:02.400 --> 00:21:06.839
<v Speaker 9>we fall. I don't wearn great hands. Under the leadership

257
00:21:07.359 --> 00:21:12.720
<v Speaker 9>a Pei Premier Rob Lance, who will soon take over

258
00:21:12.880 --> 00:21:16.920
<v Speaker 9>as Chair of the Council of Federation, with the United

259
00:21:16.960 --> 00:21:21.599
<v Speaker 9>Team Canada approach, we're going to build and protect the

260
00:21:21.680 --> 00:21:26.039

303
00:25:25.480 --> 00:25:28.440
<v Speaker 8>Merci, monsieur le premier ministro. We will now move to

304
00:25:28.680 --> 00:25:31.799
<v Speaker 8>media questions, starting with media who are present, followed by

305
00:25:31.920 --> 00:25:35.240
<v Speaker 8>questions for those tending virtually. Please come to the microphone,

306
00:25:35.319 --> 00:25:38.319
<v Speaker 8>state your name outlet and direct your question to one premier.

307
00:25:38.880 --> 00:25:41.440
<v Speaker 8>Just a reminder you will be limited to one question only.

308
00:25:41.839 --> 00:25:45.720
<v Speaker 11>First question, Father Mackenzie Gray with Global News Premier Smith,

309
00:25:46.160 --> 00:25:48.079
<v Speaker 11>you and a number of premiers have said that you

310
00:25:48.160 --> 00:25:50.039
<v Speaker 11>were going to speak with Premier ib about the idea

311
00:25:50.039 --> 00:25:52.359
<v Speaker 11>of getting an oil pipeline through BC and wondering how

312
00:25:52.400 --> 00:25:55.160
<v Speaker 11>those conversations went, and mister Bbia hope you could respond

313
00:25:55.200 --> 00:25:56.720
<v Speaker 11>to how you feel those went. And I want to

314
00:25:56.759 --> 00:25:59.319
<v Speaker 11>follow up on something you said yesterday too. You said

315
00:25:59.319 --> 00:26:02.240
<v Speaker 11>you'd be support of a potential oil pipeline through Alberte

316
00:26:02.279 --> 00:26:04.720
<v Speaker 11>if Miss Smith was able to profind a proponent for that.

317
00:26:04.880 --> 00:26:07.039
<v Speaker 11>I just want to clarify you'd be open to having

318
00:26:07.079 --> 00:26:09.640
<v Speaker 11>a pipeline going through BC if there was a company

319
00:26:09.680 --> 00:26:10.400
<v Speaker 11>that was willing to do that.

320
00:26:10.880 --> 00:26:13.599
<v Speaker 4>I'll start because I know that.

321
00:26:15.519 --> 00:26:18.279
<v Speaker 12>Maybe the media isn't aware of how many areas of

322
00:26:18.359 --> 00:26:20.480
<v Speaker 12>common ground that Premier eb and I have. We have

323
00:26:20.599 --> 00:26:22.400
<v Speaker 12>talked about ammonia.

324
00:26:22.039 --> 00:26:22.680
<v Speaker 4>Export from them.

325
00:26:22.720 --> 00:26:26.960
<v Speaker 12>Porter Prince Rupert very supportive of the LNG expansions that

326
00:26:27.359 --> 00:26:30.720
<v Speaker 12>are underway as well as additional new LNG proposals. We

327
00:26:30.839 --> 00:26:33.079
<v Speaker 12>have talked about an interertie so that we can have

328
00:26:34.240 --> 00:26:40.200
<v Speaker 12>our electricity systems with greater integration, and of course expanding

329
00:26:40.400 --> 00:26:44.119
<v Speaker 12>the capacity of the Trans Mountain Pipeline by putting in

330
00:26:45.079 --> 00:26:47.519
<v Speaker 12>additional measures compression and a few other things. They can

331
00:26:47.559 --> 00:26:51.759
<v Speaker 12>actually expand the capacity as well as judging the second narrows,

332
00:26:51.799 --> 00:26:53.920
<v Speaker 12>and we've been supportive of that as well. So I

333
00:26:53.960 --> 00:26:57.599
<v Speaker 12>would say that what we're looking forward to is a

334
00:26:57.839 --> 00:27:02.039
<v Speaker 12>potential to restart what I think have been a transformational

335
00:27:02.119 --> 00:27:05.200
<v Speaker 12>project with Northern Gateway. May not be the same route,

336
00:27:05.400 --> 00:27:08.359
<v Speaker 12>it may need it certainly needs to have a lot

337
00:27:08.440 --> 00:27:10.880
<v Speaker 12>more consultation. The first time that it went through it

338
00:27:10.920 --> 00:27:14.079
<v Speaker 12>had thirty five indigenous partners who were equity owners in

339
00:27:14.160 --> 00:27:16.119
<v Speaker 12>that and that has to be the starting point for

340
00:27:16.279 --> 00:27:19.759
<v Speaker 12>any new project. There has to be meaningful engagement and

341
00:27:19.880 --> 00:27:24.240
<v Speaker 12>meaningful economic involvement of nations. So we're advancing that along

342
00:27:24.319 --> 00:27:28.160
<v Speaker 12>with the pathways project because we think that having lower

343
00:27:28.200 --> 00:27:31.079
<v Speaker 12>and lower emissions is also a way to demonstrate some

344
00:27:31.200 --> 00:27:33.240
<v Speaker 12>of that. We've listened to some of the concerns about

345
00:27:34.039 --> 00:27:35.960
<v Speaker 12>that have been raised by British Columbia. But I would

346
00:27:35.960 --> 00:27:38.799
<v Speaker 12>say that our priority is to work on those first

347
00:27:38.960 --> 00:27:41.240
<v Speaker 12>four projects that I mentioned, and then if we can

348
00:27:41.319 --> 00:27:44.000
<v Speaker 12>get to a point where we have a proponent and

349
00:27:44.119 --> 00:27:46.799
<v Speaker 12>are able to start on that, then we will.

350
00:27:49.039 --> 00:27:50.039
<v Speaker 4>Thanks very much for the question.

351
00:27:50.240 --> 00:27:52.920
<v Speaker 13>Let me just begin. We're facing a bit of a

352
00:27:53.079 --> 00:27:56.039
<v Speaker 13>situation in British Columbia right now. At our Red cris

353
00:27:56.240 --> 00:28:00.920
<v Speaker 13>mine in northwest British Columbia, there was an act accident overnight.

354
00:28:01.799 --> 00:28:06.160
<v Speaker 13>There are three miners that are currently trapped underground. They are,

355
00:28:06.640 --> 00:28:09.119
<v Speaker 13>to the best of our knowledge, uninjured and in a

356
00:28:09.160 --> 00:28:14.400
<v Speaker 13>refuge area. There was early communication with the company. The

357
00:28:14.920 --> 00:28:20.519
<v Speaker 13>company is working with our world leading mining rescue teams.

358
00:28:21.440 --> 00:28:24.119
<v Speaker 13>BC miners are the best in the world. Our rescue

359
00:28:24.160 --> 00:28:27.799
<v Speaker 13>teams are exceptional and they will be working over time

360
00:28:27.920 --> 00:28:31.279
<v Speaker 13>to bring these workers home safely to their families. Two

361
00:28:31.319 --> 00:28:33.599
<v Speaker 13>of the workers are from British Columbia, one is from Ontario.

362
00:28:33.680 --> 00:28:36.599
<v Speaker 13>I've spoken with Premier Ford and we're keeping his government

363
00:28:36.680 --> 00:28:39.559
<v Speaker 13>up to date as well. Obviously, it's very concerning for

364
00:28:39.680 --> 00:28:43.559
<v Speaker 13>the families, for the workers in the sector and all

365
00:28:43.599 --> 00:28:46.519
<v Speaker 13>British Columbians and Canadians, and our thoughts are with the

366
00:28:46.599 --> 00:28:50.759
<v Speaker 13>families and appreciation with the incredibly brave rescue teams that

367
00:28:50.839 --> 00:28:56.720
<v Speaker 13>are working right now. On your question, I agree strongly

368
00:28:56.799 --> 00:28:59.599
<v Speaker 13>with Premier Smith that we have a huge amount of

369
00:28:59.599 --> 00:29:01.720
<v Speaker 13>work to do that is going to create incredible economic

370
00:29:01.799 --> 00:29:08.559
<v Speaker 13>opportunity for our two provinces. It is without doubt we

371
00:29:08.680 --> 00:29:11.359
<v Speaker 13>have our points of disagreement, but there are far more

372
00:29:11.440 --> 00:29:13.559
<v Speaker 13>points of agreement in terms of how we're going to

373
00:29:13.599 --> 00:29:18.000
<v Speaker 13>build our economies and our respective provinces. My focus as

374
00:29:18.079 --> 00:29:22.160
<v Speaker 13>the BC Premier is on projects that we have where

375
00:29:23.279 --> 00:29:26.559
<v Speaker 13>we're either imminent in terms of final investment decision or

376
00:29:26.640 --> 00:29:28.839
<v Speaker 13>final investment decision has been taken, and we need a

377
00:29:28.880 --> 00:29:31.640
<v Speaker 13>strong federal partner to be able to support us in

378
00:29:31.680 --> 00:29:34.480
<v Speaker 13>delivering those projects. North of fifty billion dollars worth of

379
00:29:34.559 --> 00:29:38.880
<v Speaker 13>projects and our province alone, and what I've encouraged the

380
00:29:38.920 --> 00:29:41.920
<v Speaker 13>Prime Minister and Premier Smith to do about their project

381
00:29:41.960 --> 00:29:45.519
<v Speaker 13>that they're excited about is to identify a proponent and

382
00:29:45.720 --> 00:29:49.359
<v Speaker 13>to move forward with that if that is the direction

383
00:29:49.480 --> 00:29:52.079
<v Speaker 13>that they'd like to go. I will acknowledge some frustration

384
00:29:52.519 --> 00:29:55.960
<v Speaker 13>that we have so many projects that are either imminent

385
00:29:56.279 --> 00:29:59.920
<v Speaker 13>shovel in the ground projects, or with a small amount

386
00:29:59.920 --> 00:30:02.759
<v Speaker 13>of support from the federal government would be ready to go,

387
00:30:04.039 --> 00:30:06.039
<v Speaker 13>and a lot of the discussion is around this project

388
00:30:06.119 --> 00:30:09.119
<v Speaker 13>that does not currently have a proponent. So let's get

389
00:30:09.119 --> 00:30:10.599
<v Speaker 13>working on what we can do to build this country

390
00:30:10.640 --> 00:30:13.799
<v Speaker 13>and build our economy. And when Premier Smith and the

391
00:30:13.920 --> 00:30:16.880
<v Speaker 13>Prime Minister are in position with a proponent were absolutely

392
00:30:16.880 --> 00:30:18.279
<v Speaker 13>willing to have those conversations with them.

393
00:30:20.880 --> 00:30:24.240
<v Speaker 7>Hi there, Kate mcckenna with CBC. This is for Premier Ford.

394
00:30:24.279 --> 00:30:26.640
<v Speaker 7>Premier Ford, I'm wondering if you could expand on some

395
00:30:26.759 --> 00:30:29.319
<v Speaker 7>of what you were talking about regarding the conflicts between

396
00:30:29.319 --> 00:30:33.000
<v Speaker 7>the federal government and the provinces over immigration. What exactly

397
00:30:33.319 --> 00:30:37.519
<v Speaker 7>is the issue and what did the federal minister say?

398
00:30:38.480 --> 00:30:41.720
<v Speaker 9>Well, I wouldn't say it's a conflict. The conversation we

399
00:30:41.839 --> 00:30:45.240
<v Speaker 9>had with a Prime minister is very open and under

400
00:30:45.279 --> 00:30:49.880
<v Speaker 9>the constitution that I have to thank Premier Smith for

401
00:30:50.039 --> 00:30:53.680
<v Speaker 9>mentioning we have authority in that area. No one understands

402
00:30:54.400 --> 00:30:57.519
<v Speaker 9>their sectors and their labor force better than the premiers.

403
00:30:58.160 --> 00:31:00.519
<v Speaker 9>And by no means, I want to emphasize, it's no

404
00:31:00.680 --> 00:31:04.039
<v Speaker 9>means the Prime Minister's well, this is issue right now,

405
00:31:04.119 --> 00:31:06.400
<v Speaker 9>but this has been going on for decades. I'll give

406
00:31:06.400 --> 00:31:09.559
<v Speaker 9>you an example. I have a tremendous amount of asylum

407
00:31:09.640 --> 00:31:13.440
<v Speaker 9>seekers that are up in the Tobocco and in the hotels.

408
00:31:14.000 --> 00:31:18.039
<v Speaker 9>They're healthy, they're willing to work, they're hard working people,

409
00:31:18.119 --> 00:31:21.640
<v Speaker 9>but they're waiting over two years and they're just sucking

410
00:31:21.720 --> 00:31:25.680
<v Speaker 9>off the system NonStop. Not their fault the fault falls

411
00:31:25.759 --> 00:31:28.839
<v Speaker 9>under immigration that it takes over two years to get

412
00:31:28.839 --> 00:31:34.880
<v Speaker 9>a work permit. So as we're paying, paying, education, paying healthcare, paying,

413
00:31:35.359 --> 00:31:39.160
<v Speaker 9>they're renting hotels, which is exorbeignant. They want to get

414
00:31:39.160 --> 00:31:41.839
<v Speaker 9>out there and they want to be like every other Canadian.

415
00:31:41.920 --> 00:31:43.440
<v Speaker 9>They want to find a job. They want to be

416
00:31:43.480 --> 00:31:47.400
<v Speaker 9>able to first start off fronting whatever a condo or

417
00:31:47.559 --> 00:31:49.720
<v Speaker 9>part of a house and then buying a house. But

418
00:31:50.200 --> 00:31:52.799
<v Speaker 9>we're tired of waiting around. I can't wait around. It's

419
00:31:52.839 --> 00:31:57.240
<v Speaker 9>costing our province an absolute fortune. Just last year we

420
00:31:57.319 --> 00:32:01.880
<v Speaker 9>were close to one hundred thousand itlum seekers and I'm

421
00:32:01.880 --> 00:32:04.160
<v Speaker 9>still waiting to get to pay, you know, get paid

422
00:32:04.240 --> 00:32:08.160
<v Speaker 9>back from the federal government. That's one issue. But there's

423
00:32:08.319 --> 00:32:11.920
<v Speaker 9>jobs available in Ontario and we need to give them

424
00:32:12.000 --> 00:32:14.960
<v Speaker 9>work permits and make sure that they're out there working

425
00:32:15.480 --> 00:32:17.680
<v Speaker 9>and contributing back to society.

426
00:32:17.799 --> 00:32:19.000
<v Speaker 4>I'm not waiting any longer.

427
00:32:19.400 --> 00:32:23.680
<v Speaker 9>We're issuing work permits in Ontario for these folks to

428
00:32:23.799 --> 00:32:27.440
<v Speaker 9>give back and contribute to society in in Ontario.

<v Speaker 2>So take it Acada from CBC.

460
00:35:52.480 --> 00:35:55.920
<v Speaker 7>I'm wondering if you could reflect on how these teriff

461
00:35:55.960 --> 00:35:59.559
<v Speaker 7>threats have affected federal provincial relations in Canada.

462
00:36:00.760 --> 00:36:03.920
<v Speaker 15>I think the the the impact of the tariff situation,

463
00:36:04.079 --> 00:36:06.960
<v Speaker 15>the whole negotiation, it's it's it's it's a really hard

464
00:36:06.960 --> 00:36:09.719
<v Speaker 15>thing for Canadians. Obviously Canadians are galvanized, and I would

465
00:36:09.760 --> 00:36:13.639
<v Speaker 15>definitely say that it has uh it's brought the federal

466
00:36:13.719 --> 00:36:17.199
<v Speaker 15>government and the provincial governments. I would say closer closer together.

467
00:36:18.440 --> 00:36:21.239
<v Speaker 15>It's it's it's really we all see the opportunities that

468
00:36:21.360 --> 00:36:24.760
<v Speaker 15>we have before us to make for a stronger country.

469
00:36:24.800 --> 00:36:26.760
<v Speaker 15>We're all pushing in that direction. So we've had some

470
00:36:26.880 --> 00:36:30.599
<v Speaker 15>really positive meetings today and over the last couple of

471
00:36:30.679 --> 00:36:34.079
<v Speaker 15>days actually, and I think everyone is really united and

472
00:36:34.119 --> 00:36:37.679
<v Speaker 15>on the same page of just really seizing the opportunities

473
00:36:38.199 --> 00:36:40.480
<v Speaker 15>that are before us that in the past we may

474
00:36:40.599 --> 00:36:43.559
<v Speaker 15>have looked away from that. Right now we're all looking square.

475
00:36:43.599 --> 00:36:47.679
<v Speaker 11>We at hyper Mackenzie Gray with Global News, we heard

476
00:36:47.719 --> 00:36:49.199
<v Speaker 11>Doug Ford this morning talk about the idea that there

477
00:36:49.199 --> 00:36:52.000
<v Speaker 11>should be dollar for dollar retaliatory tariffs against the Americans.

478
00:36:52.480 --> 00:36:54.519
<v Speaker 11>On the flip side, both got Mow and Daniel Smith

479
00:36:54.719 --> 00:36:57.880
<v Speaker 11>say that we shouldn't retaliate, that the impact of tariff's

480
00:36:57.880 --> 00:37:00.920
<v Speaker 11>on American consumers is what should push forward. What's your position,

481
00:37:01.000 --> 00:37:02.159
<v Speaker 11>how should KNADA push back?

482
00:37:02.559 --> 00:37:05.159
<v Speaker 15>Yeah, I think look, there's there's h there's people at

483
00:37:05.199 --> 00:37:08.159
<v Speaker 15>the at the negotiating table that have more information and

484
00:37:08.400 --> 00:37:10.199
<v Speaker 15>you know they're they're kind of working to a strategy.

485
00:37:10.280 --> 00:37:13.320
<v Speaker 15>What I would say is I actually have tremendous confidence

486
00:37:13.360 --> 00:37:15.440
<v Speaker 15>in the Prime Minister and and the team that is

487
00:37:15.559 --> 00:37:19.119
<v Speaker 15>representing us as Canadians to look at all of the

488
00:37:20.280 --> 00:37:23.840
<v Speaker 15>the factors and the moving parts and come up to

489
00:37:23.920 --> 00:37:27.119
<v Speaker 15>the best deal for Canadians. So I think it's just

490
00:37:27.199 --> 00:37:29.719
<v Speaker 15>really important that we keep moving for what is the

491
00:37:29.920 --> 00:37:33.880
<v Speaker 15>best possible deal for Canadians, and and and all the

492
00:37:33.960 --> 00:37:38.679
<v Speaker 15>while knowing that the the US administration changes their thoughts

493
00:37:38.719 --> 00:37:41.400
<v Speaker 15>on things quite frequently. So I know that it's a

494
00:37:41.480 --> 00:37:45.039
<v Speaker 15>difficult position for our negotiating team, for our Prime minister.

495
00:37:45.519 --> 00:37:48.800
<v Speaker 15>But I have a tremendous faith in the team that's

496
00:37:48.840 --> 00:37:51.000
<v Speaker 15>representing us to get the best deal, and that's where

497
00:37:51.039 --> 00:37:51.639
<v Speaker 15>my focus is.

498
00:37:53.840 --> 00:37:56.639
<v Speaker 16>Hello Premier Michael Sapio with SEPAC. You know, this is

499
00:37:56.679 --> 00:37:58.599
<v Speaker 16>the third time the first ministers have been able to

500
00:37:58.639 --> 00:38:02.320
<v Speaker 16>get together since Mark Karney became Prime Minister won the election.

501
00:38:02.800 --> 00:38:06.880
<v Speaker 16>I'm wondering concretely on an economic front, what has been

502
00:38:06.960 --> 00:38:10.679
<v Speaker 16>achieved by these meetings. Either the challenge economically for many

503
00:38:10.719 --> 00:38:14.360
<v Speaker 16>Canadians is immediate, what has been achieved with these meetings?

504
00:38:15.480 --> 00:38:18.199
<v Speaker 15>First off, isn't it great? Like these these are such

505
00:38:18.320 --> 00:38:23.239
<v Speaker 15>important relationships for Canadians, and we're all kind of binding

506
00:38:23.440 --> 00:38:27.519
<v Speaker 15>together and spending time together to really understand the sensitivities

507
00:38:27.519 --> 00:38:30.400
<v Speaker 15>that we have in our own areas. But but also

508
00:38:30.559 --> 00:38:34.079
<v Speaker 15>the the as I talked about, the opportunities so I think,

509
00:38:34.199 --> 00:38:36.360
<v Speaker 15>you know, for the for the Prime Minister and his team,

510
00:38:36.360 --> 00:38:39.559
<v Speaker 15>the passage of you know, Bill C five is significant

511
00:38:40.360 --> 00:38:43.320
<v Speaker 15>for for for myself and other premiers. You know, we're

512
00:38:43.360 --> 00:38:46.599
<v Speaker 15>doing what weekend in terms of the intraverential trade trade variers.

513
00:38:46.639 --> 00:38:50.360
<v Speaker 15>So there's a lot of concrete action in just those

514
00:38:50.400 --> 00:38:53.360
<v Speaker 15>two things. But but the spill down from those two

515
00:38:53.400 --> 00:38:57.719
<v Speaker 15>things is very significant. But the the the major projects

516
00:38:57.760 --> 00:39:01.239
<v Speaker 15>that nation building projects everyone a termat, there's a lot

517
00:39:01.280 --> 00:39:04.199
<v Speaker 15>of them, certainly in Nova Scotia. I'm passionate about our

518
00:39:04.360 --> 00:39:08.679
<v Speaker 15>wind opportunity, and I think I'm actually seeing that move

519
00:39:08.760 --> 00:39:13.159
<v Speaker 15>at a significant pace. There's lots of eyes to dot

520
00:39:13.239 --> 00:39:17.159
<v Speaker 15>and teased across and technical analysis to happen. But the

521
00:39:17.360 --> 00:39:20.719
<v Speaker 15>very first step is to have agreement that there's something

522
00:39:20.800 --> 00:39:25.480
<v Speaker 15>there and getting that agreement, you know that that's something

523
00:39:25.559 --> 00:39:28.239
<v Speaker 15>that might have taken years before, But because of the

524
00:39:28.320 --> 00:39:31.039
<v Speaker 15>relationships that are being built, we can see where everyone

525
00:39:31.199 --> 00:39:36.119
<v Speaker 15>stands much sooner in the process. So I think Canadians

526
00:39:36.679 --> 00:39:39.360
<v Speaker 15>should feel proud of the way that the governments are

527
00:39:39.400 --> 00:39:43.280
<v Speaker 15>working together, and I think Canadians should feel incredibly optimistic

528
00:39:43.960 --> 00:39:48.360
<v Speaker 15>that they're elected officials realize the need for urgency and

529
00:39:48.559 --> 00:39:51.920
<v Speaker 15>feel that urgency. It's still government in many ways, but

530
00:39:52.320 --> 00:39:55.880
<v Speaker 15>I will say that that urgency has felt that. I'm personally,

531
00:39:56.079 --> 00:39:59.079
<v Speaker 15>as a Canadian, incredibly optimistic about the future of this

532
00:39:59.159 --> 00:39:59.719
<v Speaker 15>country right now.

533
00:40:00.039 --> 00:40:03.280
<v Speaker 16>Do you have any idea when a deal or deals

534
00:40:03.360 --> 00:40:06.880
<v Speaker 16>and projects might actually be chosen, highlighted and moved forward with?

535
00:40:07.360 --> 00:40:10.119
<v Speaker 15>Yeah, I think you know, initially we talked about put

536
00:40:10.199 --> 00:40:13.199
<v Speaker 15>some put give them some things to assess. You know,

537
00:40:13.440 --> 00:40:17.280
<v Speaker 15>over the summer that certainly happened. There's lots of lots

538
00:40:17.320 --> 00:40:21.239
<v Speaker 15>of potential projects and good, good ones, and I think

539
00:40:21.360 --> 00:40:23.840
<v Speaker 15>you know, everybody is in some respects opening for the

540
00:40:24.079 --> 00:40:26.320
<v Speaker 15>waiting for the major project's office to open that will

541
00:40:26.320 --> 00:40:29.679
<v Speaker 15>be openly understand maybe by Labor Day, and there'll be

542
00:40:29.800 --> 00:40:32.719
<v Speaker 15>capacity in there to really do analysis on them. So

543
00:40:33.360 --> 00:40:35.760
<v Speaker 15>I think for me personally, I have in my mind

544
00:40:35.800 --> 00:40:39.360
<v Speaker 15>that over over the fall, maybe early fall, would have

545
00:40:39.519 --> 00:40:44.079
<v Speaker 15>some good clarity on the early kind of the early

546
00:40:44.199 --> 00:40:47.000
<v Speaker 15>wins that that the governments would see for our country.

547
00:40:47.719 --> 00:40:48.960
<v Speaker 15>So it's all happening.

548
00:40:50.280 --> 00:40:54.159
<v Speaker 3>Mickey here with Politico following today's update from the Prime Minister.

549
00:40:54.400 --> 00:40:57.239
<v Speaker 3>How realistic is it that we will get a deal

550
00:40:57.559 --> 00:40:58.559
<v Speaker 3>by August first?

551
00:40:59.840 --> 00:41:04.000
<v Speaker 4>I haven't been and focused on the date.

552
00:41:04.800 --> 00:41:06.639
<v Speaker 15>I think, you know sometimes and there was there was

553
00:41:06.679 --> 00:41:09.840
<v Speaker 15>some discussion at the table today from others as well,

554
00:41:10.079 --> 00:41:12.360
<v Speaker 15>kind of share that the ideas get the best deal.

555
00:41:13.119 --> 00:41:15.840
<v Speaker 15>And I would be worried that if we constrain ourselves

556
00:41:15.880 --> 00:41:17.559
<v Speaker 15>that we have to get a deal by a certain date,

557
00:41:18.239 --> 00:41:21.239
<v Speaker 15>that we maybe have to, you know, maybe do some things,

558
00:41:21.360 --> 00:41:23.320
<v Speaker 15>or give up some things, or we give up some

559
00:41:23.440 --> 00:41:25.920
<v Speaker 15>leverage that we might not otherwise have to if we

560
00:41:26.079 --> 00:41:28.719
<v Speaker 15>just focus on getting the best deal. So I think

561
00:41:28.760 --> 00:41:31.119
<v Speaker 15>it's just really important that we get the best deal

562
00:41:31.199 --> 00:41:34.880
<v Speaker 15>for Canadians. And I'm personally not focused on the date.

563
00:41:35.280 --> 00:41:38.400
<v Speaker 3>And is there what else can the federal government be

564
00:41:38.599 --> 00:41:40.320
<v Speaker 3>doing that they aren't?

565
00:41:41.840 --> 00:41:44.000
<v Speaker 15>As I said, I have great confidence and you know,

566
00:41:44.360 --> 00:41:47.280
<v Speaker 15>certainly Minister of a Blog is all in on this.

567
00:41:47.480 --> 00:41:50.239
<v Speaker 15>Number of his cabinet colleagues are. But I you know,

568
00:41:50.519 --> 00:41:56.480
<v Speaker 15>just the the the abilities of the Prime minister are

569
00:41:56.559 --> 00:41:59.639
<v Speaker 15>something that I'm I'm I'm confident.

570
00:41:59.280 --> 00:42:03.440
<v Speaker 17>In high Premier Houston Olivia Spianovich CBC News. What does

571
00:42:03.519 --> 00:42:05.920
<v Speaker 17>the best deal look like to you? Does it involve

572
00:42:06.000 --> 00:42:07.840
<v Speaker 17>no tariffs? Do we have to give up something else?

573
00:42:09.360 --> 00:42:13.159
<v Speaker 15>Well, I mean, obviously you know no tariffs is is great,

574
00:42:13.239 --> 00:42:14.960
<v Speaker 15>but we're not in that world right now. You look

575
00:42:15.000 --> 00:42:19.000
<v Speaker 15>at what's what the president has happened, is doing what

576
00:42:19.079 --> 00:42:22.519
<v Speaker 15>he's what he's pushing forward as his agenda. So we

577
00:42:22.639 --> 00:42:25.480
<v Speaker 15>have to we just have to be open minded about

578
00:42:25.719 --> 00:42:28.119
<v Speaker 15>what that might look like. But again there's many moving.

579
00:42:27.960 --> 00:42:28.800
<v Speaker 4>Parts to that.

580
00:42:29.840 --> 00:42:34.599
<v Speaker 15>I think the the Kuzma Carbotkusma is really important to

581
00:42:34.719 --> 00:42:39.000
<v Speaker 15>our country, So keeping that intact is really really important,

582
00:42:39.039 --> 00:42:40.840
<v Speaker 15>and the rest will all kind of fall into place.

583
00:42:41.800 --> 00:42:44.119
<v Speaker 17>And how much longer should we be until we see

584
00:42:44.199 --> 00:42:46.320
<v Speaker 17>more retaliation? How much longer are you going to give

585
00:42:46.320 --> 00:42:46.920
<v Speaker 17>the Americans?

586
00:42:48.360 --> 00:42:51.360
<v Speaker 15>Well it's not just me that makes that decision, but

587
00:42:51.880 --> 00:42:54.639
<v Speaker 15>but but I think, look, we have to be we

588
00:42:54.800 --> 00:42:58.199
<v Speaker 15>have to be conscious of the impact on retaliation on

589
00:42:58.320 --> 00:43:01.000
<v Speaker 15>our own economy, because there is one as well. So

590
00:43:01.519 --> 00:43:04.480
<v Speaker 15>so it's finding that balance about, you know, making sure

591
00:43:04.599 --> 00:43:08.480
<v Speaker 15>that the President understands we're an important customer of the

592
00:43:08.599 --> 00:43:11.360
<v Speaker 15>United States. We are, and we're good friends and long

593
00:43:11.440 --> 00:43:14.840
<v Speaker 15>standing allies, but but also that you know we're not.

594
00:43:15.000 --> 00:43:17.079
<v Speaker 15>We can't just be pushed around either. So there's finding

595
00:43:17.119 --> 00:43:20.000
<v Speaker 15>that balance between you know, pushing back a little bit

596
00:43:20.079 --> 00:43:23.000
<v Speaker 15>but but never losing sight of what the ultimate goal

597
00:43:23.119 --> 00:43:25.920
<v Speaker 15>is and that's the best possible deal under the circumstances

598
00:43:25.960 --> 00:43:28.400
<v Speaker 15>that we face. You know, we didn't we didn't initiate

599
00:43:28.480 --> 00:43:31.920
<v Speaker 15>this as a country win start this. We're just we're

600
00:43:32.000 --> 00:43:33.760
<v Speaker 15>just having to deal with what's in front of us,

601
00:43:33.800 --> 00:43:37.199
<v Speaker 15>and I'm actually proud of the way that it's being dealt.

602
00:43:36.960 --> 00:43:41.440
<v Speaker 18>With High Premier how high Colin Demello from Global News.

603
00:43:42.360 --> 00:43:44.400
<v Speaker 18>There are going to be a lot of competing projects,

604
00:43:44.440 --> 00:43:47.239
<v Speaker 18>a lot of competing interests in front of the federal government.

605
00:43:47.239 --> 00:43:49.119
<v Speaker 18>Did you get any clarity today in terms of how

606
00:43:49.199 --> 00:43:52.679
<v Speaker 18>they're going to prioritize all the convening projects from the provinces.

607
00:43:54.320 --> 00:43:56.519
<v Speaker 15>It wasn't like everyone has the best project. I know,

608
00:43:56.599 --> 00:43:58.400
<v Speaker 15>why not when West is the best project and the

609
00:43:58.519 --> 00:44:00.960
<v Speaker 15>energy like that, but others that theirs is the best.

610
00:44:01.039 --> 00:44:05.800
<v Speaker 15>So but I mean, this will be the Major Project's Office.

611
00:44:05.920 --> 00:44:07.000
<v Speaker 4>We'll be looking.

612
00:44:06.840 --> 00:44:10.039
<v Speaker 15>At, you know, impact on national GDP. We'll be looking at,

613
00:44:10.079 --> 00:44:12.280
<v Speaker 15>you know, the best bang for the buck for the country.

614
00:44:12.320 --> 00:44:15.480
<v Speaker 15>So I know they'll have their criteria there that devisass

615
00:44:15.519 --> 00:44:17.199
<v Speaker 15>it and it'll be up to It'll be up to us,

616
00:44:17.480 --> 00:44:20.559
<v Speaker 15>as you know, the the advocates for these projects to

617
00:44:20.920 --> 00:44:22.599
<v Speaker 15>make our case. So I know that I have some

618
00:44:22.880 --> 00:44:25.280
<v Speaker 15>work to do and to build up my business case,

619
00:44:25.320 --> 00:44:28.079
<v Speaker 15>and others do as well. But I think as a country,

620
00:44:28.840 --> 00:44:32.119
<v Speaker 15>we should feel good about the opportunity that is before

621
00:44:32.239 --> 00:44:34.199
<v Speaker 15>is because it is very significant.

622
00:44:34.679 --> 00:44:36.280
<v Speaker 18>One of the things that Premier for did You mentioned

623
00:44:36.440 --> 00:44:39.039
<v Speaker 18>was if the thirty five percent tariffs go into effect

624
00:44:39.079 --> 00:44:41.480
<v Speaker 18>on August first, that there should be dollar for dollar

625
00:44:41.559 --> 00:44:44.960
<v Speaker 18>retaliatory tariffs. I'm wondering how you feel about dollar for

626
00:44:45.039 --> 00:44:47.719
<v Speaker 18>dollar retaliatory terraffs, especially since Trump has said that he

627
00:44:47.760 --> 00:44:50.960
<v Speaker 18>would match that with a similar kind of tariffs, and

628
00:44:51.119 --> 00:44:54.039
<v Speaker 18>what was the temperature in the room for some kind

629
00:44:54.079 --> 00:44:56.280
<v Speaker 18>of retaliation for teriffs.

630
00:44:56.360 --> 00:45:00.280
<v Speaker 15>Look, I think I think for me, it's just having

631
00:45:00.360 --> 00:45:03.199
<v Speaker 15>the ability to to step away and have confidence that

632
00:45:03.320 --> 00:45:06.559
<v Speaker 15>the people at the table are assessing what's the best

633
00:45:06.719 --> 00:45:09.440
<v Speaker 15>move for our country at that time. And I don't

634
00:45:09.440 --> 00:45:10.880
<v Speaker 15>want to second guess that, and I don't want to

635
00:45:10.880 --> 00:45:13.559
<v Speaker 15>presuppose the outcome of that, And I think there's there's

636
00:45:13.639 --> 00:45:15.760
<v Speaker 15>lots of people that feel that way too. But I

637
00:45:15.800 --> 00:45:18.039
<v Speaker 15>have confidence in in the Prime Minister and the and

638
00:45:18.119 --> 00:45:20.239
<v Speaker 15>negotiating team to get the best deal for the country

639
00:45:20.639 --> 00:45:23.880
<v Speaker 15>under very difficult circumstances. So I'm conscious of that as well.

640
00:45:24.000 --> 00:45:27.159
<v Speaker 15>So I don't want to presuppose what that deal looks like,

641
00:45:27.360 --> 00:45:29.599
<v Speaker 15>but just that you know, we have confidence that we're

642
00:45:30.159 --> 00:45:32.119
<v Speaker 15>as a country being represented.

643
00:45:31.599 --> 00:45:33.960
<v Speaker 4>In the best possible way. I feel that way right now.

644
00:45:34.840 --> 00:45:35.800
<v Speaker 15>Thanks everyone, Thank.

645
00:45:35.679 --> 00:45:38.679
<v Speaker 7>You m.

646
00:45:45.119 --> 00:45:46.159
<v Speaker 2>Uh bringer ed.

647
00:45:50.639 --> 00:45:53.480
<v Speaker 13>Hello everyone. Great to see you. It has been a

648
00:45:53.760 --> 00:45:57.119
<v Speaker 13>productive set of meetings already for British Columbia. We had

649
00:45:57.159 --> 00:46:00.960
<v Speaker 13>the opportunity to sign some agreements with you, with Manitoba

650
00:46:01.239 --> 00:46:04.440
<v Speaker 13>and Ontario about getting rid of internal trade barriers, making

651
00:46:05.039 --> 00:46:07.880
<v Speaker 13>life a little bit more affordable for Canadians, getting Ontarians

652
00:46:07.920 --> 00:46:12.639
<v Speaker 13>access to that high quality British Columbia wine. Lots of

653
00:46:12.679 --> 00:46:15.880
<v Speaker 13>great things to celebrate, working with the Yukon to electrify

654
00:46:15.960 --> 00:46:18.639
<v Speaker 13>that territory and help them grow their economy, Lots of

655
00:46:18.679 --> 00:46:22.480
<v Speaker 13>great projects on the go. Had the opportunity with the

656
00:46:22.519 --> 00:46:25.719
<v Speaker 13>Prime Minister to discuss projects of significance and importance to

657
00:46:25.760 --> 00:46:30.559
<v Speaker 13>British Columbia, like the northwest of our province, the mining

658
00:46:30.599 --> 00:46:33.400
<v Speaker 13>opportunities that are there. I'm very excited about the Northwest

659
00:46:33.400 --> 00:46:35.559
<v Speaker 13>transmission line that will electrify that and the work that

660
00:46:35.599 --> 00:46:38.639
<v Speaker 13>we can do together, looking forward to that. While I

661
00:46:38.840 --> 00:46:41.960
<v Speaker 13>was having a sidebar conversation with the Prime Minister, I

662
00:46:42.000 --> 00:46:45.320
<v Speaker 13>took the opportunity to deliver a letter from Bailey McCourt's family.

663
00:46:46.159 --> 00:46:49.760
<v Speaker 13>Bailey McCourt was murdered by her ex husband in Colonna,

664
00:46:50.320 --> 00:46:54.639
<v Speaker 13>a horrific attack the Prime Minister has committed on multiple occasions,

665
00:46:54.639 --> 00:46:59.719
<v Speaker 13>which I'm grateful for to bail reform and Bailey McCort's

666
00:46:59.719 --> 00:47:04.039
<v Speaker 13>family underlying the importance of bail reform around intimate partner violence.

667
00:47:04.880 --> 00:47:08.679
<v Speaker 13>In my opinion, and I know an opinion shared by

668
00:47:08.760 --> 00:47:12.679
<v Speaker 13>many Canadians, there's a special place in hell for men

669
00:47:13.199 --> 00:47:17.880
<v Speaker 13>that murder and attack their spouses or girlfriends, and ensuring

670
00:47:17.960 --> 00:47:21.079
<v Speaker 13>that they stay behind bars and are not released to

671
00:47:24.280 --> 00:47:27.679
<v Speaker 13>complete a cycle of violence is a priority for us,

672
00:47:27.760 --> 00:47:30.639
<v Speaker 13>and I'm grateful to know that priority shared by the

673
00:47:30.679 --> 00:47:33.400
<v Speaker 13>Prime Minister. Finally, I'd like to take a moment to

674
00:47:33.480 --> 00:47:36.519
<v Speaker 13>reflect on the comments of the American ambassador recently appointed

675
00:47:37.480 --> 00:47:42.480
<v Speaker 13>about his support for the President's comments that Canadians are

676
00:47:42.559 --> 00:47:46.039
<v Speaker 13>mean and nasty because we are boycotting American liquor and

677
00:47:46.119 --> 00:47:48.159
<v Speaker 13>refusing to travel to the US while they attack our

678
00:47:48.199 --> 00:47:53.000
<v Speaker 13>sovereignty and threaten our economy through the President. You know, obviously,

679
00:47:53.679 --> 00:47:57.000
<v Speaker 13>if you're a mean and nasty Canadian for standing up

680
00:47:57.039 --> 00:47:59.719
<v Speaker 13>for our sovereignty and our economy and our jobs. I

681
00:47:59.760 --> 00:48:02.320
<v Speaker 13>think those Canadians would be proud to be considered mean

682
00:48:02.360 --> 00:48:06.400
<v Speaker 13>and nasty, but to be blunt, Americans are our friends,

683
00:48:06.599 --> 00:48:10.440
<v Speaker 13>our colleagues, and family members in many cases. And the

684
00:48:10.639 --> 00:48:15.519
<v Speaker 13>remarks the ambassador delivered were delivered at a conference, the

685
00:48:15.599 --> 00:48:19.559
<v Speaker 13>Pacific Northwest Economic Region Conference. We worked in close partnership

686
00:48:19.920 --> 00:48:23.239
<v Speaker 13>with those states for many, many years on flood mitigation,

687
00:48:23.519 --> 00:48:27.400
<v Speaker 13>economic growth, the Cascadia Corridor. It's grown our economies. We've

688
00:48:27.440 --> 00:48:31.039
<v Speaker 13>all benefited from it. It's an example of why we

689
00:48:31.119 --> 00:48:33.960
<v Speaker 13>have no interest in being mean and nasty. We want

690
00:48:34.000 --> 00:48:36.639
<v Speaker 13>to be in partnership with the Americans, and we need

691
00:48:36.719 --> 00:48:40.280
<v Speaker 13>the President to understand the benefits the flow from working

692
00:48:40.360 --> 00:48:43.559
<v Speaker 13>in cooperation. So with that, happy to take your questions

693
00:48:43.599 --> 00:48:45.079
<v Speaker 13>and laforida our conversation here.

694
00:48:45.480 --> 00:48:48.880
<v Speaker 16>Hello, Premier, maybe Michael Sarabi with seapak. Earlier today, we

695
00:48:48.960 --> 00:48:53.840
<v Speaker 16>saw your colleagues from Saskatchewan, Alberta and Ontario announce memo

696
00:48:54.039 --> 00:48:58.320
<v Speaker 16>Understanding Memorandi of understanding to to work towards energy corridors pipelines,

697
00:48:58.800 --> 00:49:01.679
<v Speaker 16>and in that news conference and both the premiers of

698
00:49:01.719 --> 00:49:06.280
<v Speaker 16>Saskatchewan and Alberta talked about the northern BC coast, say

699
00:49:06.679 --> 00:49:10.639
<v Speaker 16>it presents the best opportunity to get oil to global markets,

700
00:49:11.159 --> 00:49:13.559
<v Speaker 16>and they also called for once again the dropping of

701
00:49:13.559 --> 00:49:16.880
<v Speaker 16>a number of regulations that includes the tanker ban off

702
00:49:16.920 --> 00:49:19.760
<v Speaker 16>the BC coast. I'm wondering, given that this is the

703
00:49:19.840 --> 00:49:23.320
<v Speaker 16>third time that the premiers the first Ministers have come together,

704
00:49:23.760 --> 00:49:26.639
<v Speaker 16>whether you are now more open to dropping that ban,

705
00:49:26.800 --> 00:49:31.480
<v Speaker 16>giving the support towards that and exploring the possibility of

706
00:49:31.599 --> 00:49:33.800
<v Speaker 16>a pipeline to the BC coast up north.

707
00:49:34.480 --> 00:49:37.440
<v Speaker 13>Well, I mean, let's look at what's happening in BC's

708
00:49:37.480 --> 00:49:40.719
<v Speaker 13>North around energy. We have the first shipment of LERG

709
00:49:41.320 --> 00:49:43.960
<v Speaker 13>from BC's coast. We will make a material difference in

710
00:49:44.000 --> 00:49:47.880
<v Speaker 13>Canada's GDP, the largest private sector investment in Canadian history.

711
00:49:48.639 --> 00:49:51.000
<v Speaker 13>The proponents are looking at a second phase right now.

712
00:49:51.639 --> 00:49:54.519
<v Speaker 13>In terms of traditional energy projects. We also have seter

713
00:49:54.719 --> 00:49:58.480
<v Speaker 13>Lergy and Stylism's Energy either are reaching final investment decision

714
00:49:58.719 --> 00:50:02.400
<v Speaker 13>or in construction. So there are major energy projects that

715
00:50:02.400 --> 00:50:06.079
<v Speaker 13>are happening that will also benefit Alberta in BC's North.

716
00:50:06.639 --> 00:50:09.039
<v Speaker 13>For the pipeline project, the Premier Smith is a great

717
00:50:09.159 --> 00:50:12.559
<v Speaker 13>enthusiast of a heavy oil pipeline project. There is no project,

718
00:50:12.960 --> 00:50:17.079
<v Speaker 13>there is no proponent, there's no private sector money involved

719
00:50:17.119 --> 00:50:21.519
<v Speaker 13>at all that I'm aware of. When Premier Smith crosses

720
00:50:21.559 --> 00:50:25.320
<v Speaker 13>those obvious hurdles to get a project done, then let's

721
00:50:25.360 --> 00:50:28.480
<v Speaker 13>have those conversations. But to be blunt, we have major

722
00:50:28.559 --> 00:50:30.719
<v Speaker 13>projects that are moving ahead and that's where our focus is.

723
00:50:31.320 --> 00:50:34.039
<v Speaker 16>Would it be easier to find an investor if the

724
00:50:34.119 --> 00:50:38.360
<v Speaker 16>BC government we're open to actually letting that pipeline go

725
00:50:38.559 --> 00:50:40.119
<v Speaker 16>to the BC northern coast.

726
00:50:41.000 --> 00:50:43.199
<v Speaker 13>Well, we own an heavy oil pipeline right now as

727
00:50:43.239 --> 00:50:46.199
<v Speaker 13>Canadians that goes to the BC coast. It's the Trans

728
00:50:46.280 --> 00:50:49.800
<v Speaker 13>Mountain Pipeline project. It's up for sale. The federal government

729
00:50:49.840 --> 00:50:53.440
<v Speaker 13>can't sell it. The major pipeline proponents that one would

730
00:50:53.440 --> 00:50:57.280
<v Speaker 13>expect to be participating in the North are not, and

731
00:50:57.440 --> 00:50:59.360
<v Speaker 13>so I think there's a reason for that. I think

732
00:50:59.360 --> 00:51:03.559
<v Speaker 13>there's others run investment in British Columbia and Alberta. We're supportive.

733
00:51:03.599 --> 00:51:06.719
<v Speaker 13>If Premier Smith can cross that hurdle of identifying a

734
00:51:06.800 --> 00:51:09.519
<v Speaker 13>proponent and an actual project, then let's have a conversation.

735
00:51:09.599 --> 00:51:12.239
<v Speaker 13>But in the meantime, we're encouraging the federal government and

736
00:51:12.360 --> 00:51:15.519
<v Speaker 13>for ourselves, the focus is on projects with proponents that

737
00:51:15.599 --> 00:51:18.880
<v Speaker 13>are ready to go, that are through environmental assessment, and

738
00:51:19.000 --> 00:51:21.280
<v Speaker 13>if we do that, we can deliver some really big

739
00:51:21.360 --> 00:51:23.960
<v Speaker 13>projects for Canada. You see, will be the economic engine,

740
00:51:24.000 --> 00:51:26.679
<v Speaker 13>frankly of the new economy that we're building here in

741
00:51:26.760 --> 00:51:29.800
<v Speaker 13>Canada because of our port, access, access to market, the

742
00:51:29.880 --> 00:51:32.519
<v Speaker 13>resources we have, and we're going to facilitate access for

743
00:51:32.599 --> 00:51:35.559
<v Speaker 13>other provinces too to get to those markets, just as

744
00:51:35.559 --> 00:51:36.079
<v Speaker 13>we always have.

745
00:51:36.800 --> 00:51:39.000
<v Speaker 3>Hey, Mickey with Politico here, have you brought up the

746
00:51:39.079 --> 00:51:41.639
<v Speaker 3>issue of the ostriches with the Prime Minister and would

747
00:51:41.639 --> 00:51:44.400
<v Speaker 3>you like to see him intervene in a way where

748
00:51:44.599 --> 00:51:45.519
<v Speaker 3>they can be saved.

749
00:51:46.239 --> 00:51:48.360
<v Speaker 13>No, I have not brought up that issue with the

750
00:51:48.400 --> 00:51:51.519
<v Speaker 13>Prime Minister. I understand there was a recent court decision

751
00:51:51.559 --> 00:51:54.880
<v Speaker 13>on that. I know for British Columbia, we don't take

752
00:51:54.960 --> 00:51:58.000
<v Speaker 13>our public health advice from RFK and from doctor Oz.

753
00:51:59.039 --> 00:52:01.519
<v Speaker 13>Bird flu is a very serious issue in British Columbia,

754
00:52:01.760 --> 00:52:06.559
<v Speaker 13>and so it's obviously a challenging issue. They're beautiful birds

755
00:52:07.039 --> 00:52:11.280
<v Speaker 13>and bird flu is a massive and profoundly concerning issue

756
00:52:11.280 --> 00:52:13.320
<v Speaker 13>for farmers in British Columbia, and I know across Canada.

757
00:52:14.639 --> 00:52:18.639
<v Speaker 19>Hi, I'm ir Majukidu Canada about the EMU signed with

758
00:52:18.880 --> 00:52:22.000
<v Speaker 19>Ontario on free trade. Can you tell us a little

759
00:52:22.039 --> 00:52:26.840
<v Speaker 19>more about what concretely will change and what timelines.

760
00:52:26.280 --> 00:52:27.320
<v Speaker 17>Are we working with.

761
00:52:28.400 --> 00:52:28.559
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

762
00:52:28.599 --> 00:52:30.960
<v Speaker 13>Absolutely, we're working with Ontario right now on a direct

763
00:52:31.000 --> 00:52:32.559
<v Speaker 13>to consumer model.

764
00:52:32.400 --> 00:52:33.559
<v Speaker 4>For BC.

765
00:52:34.880 --> 00:52:39.239
<v Speaker 13>Alcohol products and Ontario alcohol products, where producers can sell

766
00:52:39.320 --> 00:52:42.920
<v Speaker 13>directly to consumers and our respective provinces. But I mean,

767
00:52:43.079 --> 00:52:46.119
<v Speaker 13>what I would really love with Ontario. We have an agreement,

768
00:52:46.480 --> 00:52:49.599
<v Speaker 13>free trade agreement that works in Western Canada. It's called

769
00:52:49.639 --> 00:52:53.360
<v Speaker 13>the New Wes Partnership. We can change the name if

770
00:52:53.400 --> 00:52:55.480
<v Speaker 13>Ontario wants to come on board, but this is an

771
00:52:55.480 --> 00:52:59.880
<v Speaker 13>agreement that's in place, has established standards, is working for provinces.

772
00:53:00.400 --> 00:53:04.079
<v Speaker 13>Allows us to maintain standards around safety for workers and

773
00:53:04.159 --> 00:53:07.880
<v Speaker 13>other protections that are necessary while facilitating free trade. And

774
00:53:08.400 --> 00:53:11.079
<v Speaker 13>I'll be pushing Premier Ford as part of this agreement

775
00:53:11.320 --> 00:53:13.719
<v Speaker 13>to sign on to the New West Partnership because that

776
00:53:13.719 --> 00:53:16.760
<v Speaker 13>would be the easiest and fastest way to facilitate free

777
00:53:16.800 --> 00:53:20.039
<v Speaker 13>trade between our provinces and as well as Manitoba, Saskatchewan

778
00:53:20.199 --> 00:53:20.760
<v Speaker 13>and Alberta.

779
00:53:21.679 --> 00:53:24.599
<v Speaker 19>Have you breached that with Premiere Ford and what did

780
00:53:24.679 --> 00:53:25.000
<v Speaker 19>he say?

781
00:53:25.320 --> 00:53:27.400
<v Speaker 13>Yes, we have raised this issue with Premier Ford and

782
00:53:27.480 --> 00:53:29.559
<v Speaker 13>his team, and we'll continue to do so. They're not

783
00:53:29.639 --> 00:53:32.119
<v Speaker 13>quite ready to sign on, but I hope they will be.

784
00:53:32.800 --> 00:53:34.039
<v Speaker 4>Hi Isaaid Colin global use.

785

786
00:53:36.320 --> 00:53:38.400

787
00:53:38.519 --> 00:53:40.679
<v Speaker 4>I wasn't. Would you have if you've been invited to?

788
00:53:40.840 --> 00:53:41.719

00:54:29.199 --> 00:54:33.960

802

807
00:54:56.880 --> 00:55:02.119
<v Speaker 5>large part of our exchanges traded on what we can do,

808
00:55:02.360 --> 00:55:04.559

820
00:56:14.199 --> 00:56:15.559
<v Speaker 3>Hi, I'm mickey with Politico here.

821
00:56:15.719 --> 00:56:18.760
<v Speaker 4>How realistic is it to get a deal by August?

822
00:56:18.880 --> 00:56:22.280
<v Speaker 5>First, Well, that depends and then there's two sides to

823
00:56:22.360 --> 00:56:26.760
<v Speaker 5>a deal. We will obviously we're working on behalf of

824
00:56:26.840 --> 00:56:30.239
<v Speaker 5>Canadians and we will agree a deal if there's one

825
00:56:30.320 --> 00:56:32.960
<v Speaker 5>on the table that is in the best interests of Canadians,

826
00:56:33.079 --> 00:56:35.960
<v Speaker 5>just as the United States will do and the look

827
00:56:36.039 --> 00:56:38.480
<v Speaker 5>for the best interests of the US. There have been

828
00:56:38.519 --> 00:56:42.920
<v Speaker 5>a series of discussions. Senior ministers have been in Washington.

829
00:56:42.960 --> 00:56:45.559
<v Speaker 5>They'll be returning, mister Labla for example, We'll be in

830
00:56:45.679 --> 00:56:47.440
<v Speaker 5>Washington for the balance of the week, as will be

831
00:56:47.519 --> 00:56:50.480
<v Speaker 5>my chief of staff, other officials for those discussions. But

832
00:56:50.679 --> 00:56:54.239
<v Speaker 5>you know, they're complex negotiations and we'll use all the

833
00:56:54.320 --> 00:57:00.360
<v Speaker 5>time that's necessary and agree something that's in the interests

834
00:57:00.400 --> 00:57:02.559
<v Speaker 5>of Canadians. If that's a bill.

835
00:57:03.480 --> 00:57:08.320
<v Speaker 20>Thank you, Rachel Yellow CTV News. Can you elaborate on

836
00:57:08.440 --> 00:57:11.440
<v Speaker 20>what that means to get a good deal for Canada tangibly?

837
00:57:11.559 --> 00:57:13.639
<v Speaker 20>What does that include? And if we can't get there,

838
00:57:13.760 --> 00:57:14.920
<v Speaker 20>will Canada retaliate?

839
00:57:15.719 --> 00:57:20.199
<v Speaker 5>Well, the first thing is we're working positively for a deal.

840
00:57:21.199 --> 00:57:24.159
<v Speaker 5>Will take stock if there isn't one that works, But

841
00:57:24.239 --> 00:57:29.079
<v Speaker 5>that depends on the overall circumstance. That's the first the

842
00:57:29.920 --> 00:57:33.559
<v Speaker 5>elements of what's positive. And let's start from the position

843
00:57:33.679 --> 00:57:37.000
<v Speaker 5>of you know, really the longest standing and one of

844
00:57:37.000 --> 00:57:39.480
<v Speaker 5>the largest trading relationships in the world between Canada the

845
00:57:39.559 --> 00:57:43.199
<v Speaker 5>United States. Relationship until recently that hadn't been terra free

846
00:57:43.960 --> 00:57:47.760
<v Speaker 5>relationship that has many integrated sectors, including the auto sector,

847
00:57:47.800 --> 00:57:52.559
<v Speaker 5>the steel sector, the energy sector and beyond. And so

848
00:57:52.920 --> 00:57:57.079
<v Speaker 5>a good deal is something that preserves, reinforces and stabilizes

849
00:57:57.119 --> 00:58:00.599
<v Speaker 5>those relationships as much as possible. A good deal is

850
00:58:00.599 --> 00:58:02.599
<v Speaker 5>also one that doesn't tie our hands in terms of

851
00:58:02.800 --> 00:58:05.119
<v Speaker 5>other things that we can do, so that we can

852
00:58:05.480 --> 00:58:07.880
<v Speaker 5>pursue that positive agenda that we focus so much of

853
00:58:07.920 --> 00:58:11.239
<v Speaker 5>our time on. And uh and and maybe just to

854
00:58:11.280 --> 00:58:14.679
<v Speaker 5>go back to the start of of of your question, look,

855
00:58:14.719 --> 00:58:20.320
<v Speaker 5>will we have a lot to do in this country.

856
00:58:20.960 --> 00:58:22.920
<v Speaker 5>We have a lot positive to do in this country,

857
00:58:23.199 --> 00:58:26.039
<v Speaker 5>building this country in a way, building one Canadian economy.

858
00:58:26.280 --> 00:58:29.039
<v Speaker 5>We our phone is ringing off the hook from other

859
00:58:29.119 --> 00:58:32.599
<v Speaker 5>countries who want to do more with Canada. I've had

860
00:58:32.639 --> 00:58:35.719
<v Speaker 5>over eighty bilaterals with world leaders since i became Prime Minister.

861
00:58:36.119 --> 00:58:39.119
<v Speaker 5>A number of those premiers have been on major trade missions.

862
00:58:39.159 --> 00:58:40.639
<v Speaker 5>We have other things to do, and so we're going

863
00:58:40.679 --> 00:58:43.079
<v Speaker 5>to focus more and more of our time on those

864
00:58:43.159 --> 00:58:44.880
<v Speaker 5>positive aspects going forward.

<v Speaker 5>Don't lettoir to get on province? Yeah they example, Yeah,

889
01:01:26.480 --> 01:01:28.119

01:01:30.159 --> 01:01:31.440

<v Speaker 4>Press. So sort of amplique com plus province and unifi be.

897
01:02:20.480 --> 01:02:24.239
<v Speaker 5>It's the process of the question was whether or not

898
01:02:24.960 --> 01:02:28.800
<v Speaker 5>this could divide the country, uh, because we have different

899
01:02:29.280 --> 01:02:34.559
<v Speaker 5>parts of the country, uh, proposing different projects. And maybe

900
01:02:34.599 --> 01:02:36.239
<v Speaker 5>I went on too long, but in effect what I

901
01:02:36.360 --> 01:02:39.840
<v Speaker 5>was saying was that no, actually it's the contrary many

902
01:02:40.159 --> 01:02:42.480
<v Speaker 5>For the projects to be of interest, to be of

903
01:02:42.599 --> 01:02:47.000
<v Speaker 5>national interest, it has to benefit multiple stakeholders, multiple provinces,

904
01:02:47.679 --> 01:02:51.119
<v Speaker 5>advance our interests, advance the interests of indigenous people, also

905
01:02:51.639 --> 01:02:54.480
<v Speaker 5>move us towards our climate objectives. So I gave the

906
01:02:54.559 --> 01:02:59.320
<v Speaker 5>example of an Entertai project in the northwest corner of

907
01:02:59.400 --> 01:03:02.880
<v Speaker 5>British columb Beer, which has benefits for the Yukon, for

908
01:03:02.920 --> 01:03:06.800
<v Speaker 5>the Northwest territories for Alberta and actually unlocks critical minerals

909
01:03:06.840 --> 01:03:09.599
<v Speaker 5>and other investments. So that's how you see the elements

910
01:03:09.639 --> 01:03:12.599
<v Speaker 5>of unification. There's uh the port to Port to port

911
01:03:12.679 --> 01:03:15.559
<v Speaker 5>project that's been proposed by for the Western the four

912
01:03:16.119 --> 01:03:20.199
<v Speaker 5>Western provinces including BC and and the territories be another example.

913
01:03:20.519 --> 01:03:25.960
<v Speaker 5>And win West which implicates if I can put it

914
01:03:26.039 --> 01:03:28.079
<v Speaker 5>that way all of the Atlantic provinces.

915

940
01:06:25.239 --> 01:06:32.119
<v Speaker 5>fact they come and the last benningas was just well

941
01:06:32.320 --> 01:06:35.679
<v Speaker 5>the first thing in terms of addressing affected SEC sectors,

942
01:06:36.239 --> 01:06:40.920
<v Speaker 5>I observe that there's a different timeline for force products

943
01:06:41.519 --> 01:06:44.760
<v Speaker 5>because it's part of a longer standing UH trade action

944
01:06:44.960 --> 01:06:45.800
<v Speaker 5>by the United States.

945
01:06:45.840 --> 01:06:46.800
<v Speaker 4>There's a legal process.

946
01:06:46.880 --> 01:06:49.559
<v Speaker 5>What we're looking to do is is bring that into

947
01:06:49.760 --> 01:06:52.559
<v Speaker 5>the same timeline, if possible as the other negotiations.

948
01:06:52.719 --> 01:06:52.840
<v Speaker 7>UH.

949
01:06:53.519 --> 01:06:57.000
<v Speaker 4>We should address it UH and we have proposals in

950
01:06:57.119 --> 01:06:57.639
<v Speaker 4>order to do that.

951
01:06:57.719 --> 01:06:59.599
<v Speaker 5>We will have to see so it could be a

952
01:06:59.639 --> 01:07:03.920
<v Speaker 5>different deadline or timeline for addressing support for those workers.

953
01:07:05.000 --> 01:07:07.880
<v Speaker 5>With respect to aluminum, there has the impact has been

954
01:07:08.000 --> 01:07:10.440
<v Speaker 5>less than it has been in steel for a variety

955
01:07:10.480 --> 01:07:13.039
<v Speaker 5>of reasons. But that's not but it's still an impact

956
01:07:13.159 --> 01:07:16.599
<v Speaker 5>and for all these sectors in effect, as we get

957
01:07:16.639 --> 01:07:17.960
<v Speaker 5>to the start of the next month.

958
01:07:17.840 --> 01:07:20.280
<v Speaker 4>We'll be taking stock and looking to provide support.

959
01:07:20.800 --> 01:07:22.920
<v Speaker 5>All of which to say, when one looks and these

960
01:07:23.000 --> 01:07:26.000
<v Speaker 5>effectors of these sectors are very much they are affected.

961
01:07:26.280 --> 01:07:28.840
<v Speaker 5>It's different degrees, but they are affected. As understandable, these

962
01:07:28.840 --> 01:07:31.559
<v Speaker 5>are very large tariffs. This is very sharp change in

963
01:07:31.599 --> 01:07:35.599
<v Speaker 5>their training relationship. But when we look at them outside

964
01:07:35.679 --> 01:07:42.639
<v Speaker 5>of those very important sectors steel, aluminum, automobiles, forest products perspectively, copper,

965
01:07:43.400 --> 01:07:48.519
<v Speaker 5>and pharmaceuticals, the effective tariff that faces most Canadian goods

966
01:07:48.559 --> 01:07:52.679
<v Speaker 5>and services is very low. I just want to finish,

967
01:07:52.800 --> 01:07:56.320
<v Speaker 5>if if I might out of yeah, to re emphasize,

968
01:07:58.800 --> 01:08:04.280
<v Speaker 5>to reemphasize the spirit of this meeting, the substance of

969
01:08:04.360 --> 01:08:07.480
<v Speaker 5>the meeting, and the substance of our approach, which is positive.

970
01:08:08.079 --> 01:08:09.320
<v Speaker 4>This is about building this country.

971
01:08:09.639 --> 01:08:12.039
<v Speaker 5>We're getting more and more concrete about how we're going

972
01:08:12.119 --> 01:08:17.279
<v Speaker 5>to do that, and it's about building other relationships at

973
01:08:17.319 --> 01:08:20.760
<v Speaker 5>the same time. At best, if at all possible, we

974
01:08:20.800 --> 01:08:25.119
<v Speaker 5>would be developing, we would be developing our relationships are

975
01:08:25.239 --> 01:08:28.600
<v Speaker 5>you know, coming to a good accord with the United States.

976
01:08:29.119 --> 01:08:30.319
<v Speaker 4>But the importance is to build up.

977
01:08:31.119 --> 01:08:33.199
<v Speaker 7>I'm just talking about it as in a trunk, just quickly.

978
01:08:33.439 --> 01:08:34.600
<v Speaker 2>What happens if there's no deal in.

979
01:08:34.600 --> 01:08:37.439
<v Speaker 5>August first, well, I mean we'll see. We're working to

980
01:08:37.800 --> 01:08:40.079
<v Speaker 5>get the best deal for Canadians and that's the focus now.

981
01:08:40.720 --> 01:08:43.600
<v Speaker 5>I think what's absolutely clear is we have a lot

982
01:08:43.680 --> 01:08:45.479
<v Speaker 5>to do in this country. We have a lot to

983
01:08:45.560 --> 01:08:49.600
<v Speaker 5>do that's positive, to build, that's becoming more concrete. Canadians

984
01:08:49.640 --> 01:08:52.319
<v Speaker 5>are excited about that, you know, people like Canadians are.

985
01:08:54.399 --> 01:08:58.000
<v Speaker 5>What's coming out is how fundamentally positive Canadians are. They

986
01:08:58.039 --> 01:08:59.560
<v Speaker 5>want to build, they want to move forward, they don't

987
01:08:59.560 --> 01:09:03.840
<v Speaker 5>want to dispute, and if if, if there's challenges south

988
01:09:03.880 --> 01:09:07.439
<v Speaker 5>of the border with that relationship. We'll focus on what

989
01:09:07.600 --> 01:09:09.720
<v Speaker 5>we can do in this great country. And you know,

990
01:09:09.880 --> 01:09:13.600
<v Speaker 5>if you're if you're looking for where to spend your vacation,

991
01:09:14.000 --> 01:09:18.279
<v Speaker 5>Canadians are spending their vacations across this great land.

992
01:09:18.319 --> 01:09:19.680
<v Speaker 4>And I'll just this my last word.

993
01:09:19.760 --> 01:09:21.920
<v Speaker 5>I will just give a short plug for the one

994
01:09:22.000 --> 01:09:26.279
<v Speaker 5>Canada pass, which means that visiting it's important, visiting our

995
01:09:27.119 --> 01:09:31.199
<v Speaker 5>national parks, visiting our museums, bringing your children, including bringing

996
01:09:31.239 --> 01:09:34.359
<v Speaker 5>your children eighteen and under under via rail at these

997
01:09:34.399 --> 01:09:37.279
<v Speaker 5>reduced prices or free uh. And it's a pleasure that

998
01:09:37.319 --> 01:09:38.520
<v Speaker 5>Canadians are taking advantage of.

999
01:09:43.199 --> 01:09:45.239
<v Speaker 4>What else, what else say? What else say to that?

1000
01:09:45.479 --> 01:09:47.239
<v Speaker 4>What else say to that? What else say?

1001
01:09:47.319 --> 01:09:47.359
<v Speaker 3>No?

1002
01:09:47.520 --> 01:09:48.119
<v Speaker 4>I'll say to that?

1003
01:09:48.640 --> 01:09:55.479
<v Speaker 5>Is that Canadians are fundamentally positive people. That's that's what

1004
01:09:55.600 --> 01:09:59.880
<v Speaker 5>Canadians are. Canadians are making choices to visit this great country,

1005
01:10:01.439 --> 01:10:05.119
<v Speaker 5>spend time here with their family, with their friends.

1006
01:10:05.479 --> 01:10:05.560
<v Speaker 7>Uh.

1007
01:10:05.640 --> 01:10:09.720
<v Speaker 5>They're making choices to buy Canadian projects, products they're making,

1008
01:10:09.840 --> 01:10:13.640
<v Speaker 5>and we're making choices to build Canadian projects. That's that

1009
01:10:13.920 --> 01:10:18.720
<v Speaker 5>is that is uh, that is happy, positive, productive, and

1010
01:10:18.800 --> 01:10:20.439
<v Speaker 5>that's the true nature of Canada.

1011

<v Speaker 2>May talk about it and Trump lately. After show has
