WEBVTT 1 00:00:04.200 --> 00:00:23.559 Thank you for listening to Pictures Media Radio. Welcome to 2 00:00:23.600 --> 00:00:29.760 Policy and Rights show up Gosh, Welcome to Policy Human Joys. 3 00:00:58.560 --> 00:01:01.240 Welcome back to Policy and right here Depictions Media Radio. 4 00:01:01.320 --> 00:01:05.359 I'm your host, Michael Cloggs. Okay, so we're going to 5 00:01:05.439 --> 00:01:09.840 hear from Mark Karney today and hey, okay, this is 6 00:01:09.879 --> 00:01:17.799 the importance of Mark Karney speaking to the press from 7 00:01:18.159 --> 00:01:26.920 the Parliament Hill. He is speaking about mostly he is 8 00:01:26.959 --> 00:01:32.560 speaking about measures to protect Canadian steel and aluminum industries. 9 00:01:33.239 --> 00:01:39.079 As we know that Donald Trump has escalated the some 10 00:01:39.359 --> 00:01:43.640 ridiculous and illegal amount of tariff to be placed on 11 00:01:45.439 --> 00:01:54.040 Canadian steel products. He is also placing at the same 12 00:01:54.079 --> 00:01:58.840 time also aluminum products. Well, one of the issues is 13 00:01:58.840 --> 00:02:06.200 is that most of the North American aluminum mines exist 14 00:02:06.480 --> 00:02:13.159 in Canadian territories. So Donald Trump claims that he doesn't 15 00:02:13.159 --> 00:02:17.319 need aluminum from Canada, that America has its own aluminum. 16 00:02:17.919 --> 00:02:24.520 Well that's not exactly true. He does actually need Canadian 17 00:02:25.319 --> 00:02:33.719 aluminum and steel products. So mister Carney is announcing some 18 00:02:33.919 --> 00:02:38.800 measures to protect those products, to protect those industries from 19 00:02:39.280 --> 00:02:45.039 the tariffs and help the help keep all of those 20 00:02:46.240 --> 00:02:50.159 all of those workers with jobs, and help keep them 21 00:02:51.000 --> 00:02:56.520 keep the industry moving smoothly, Okay, So mister Kearney is 22 00:02:56.560 --> 00:03:03.280 also joined by the the Ministers of Finance and the 23 00:03:03.400 --> 00:03:11.000 Minister of Industry, as well as the Minister of Inter 24 00:03:11.400 --> 00:03:19.039 Government Governmental Affairs as he makes his announcement about him 25 00:03:19.120 --> 00:03:25.080 protecting the uh steel and aluminum for Canada. This is 26 00:03:25.080 --> 00:03:30.120 also coming just a couple of days after the end 27 00:03:30.599 --> 00:03:39.599 of the G seven summit in Alberta. If we also 28 00:03:39.719 --> 00:03:48.840 remember correctly when there were some announcements about Iran and 29 00:03:49.080 --> 00:03:55.759 Israel and mister Trump actually left the talks early before 30 00:03:56.240 --> 00:03:59.919 they mister Carney and him could actually have some serious 31 00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:03.879 considerations about what it is they're going to talk about 32 00:04:03.960 --> 00:04:10.479 to find a really good financial path and trade deal 33 00:04:10.960 --> 00:04:15.919 for both the United States and Canada. Mister Carney also 34 00:04:15.960 --> 00:04:23.240 said in a interview at the end of the g 35 00:04:23.240 --> 00:04:29.319 G seven summit that there was a active, invalid trade 36 00:04:29.319 --> 00:04:34.600 deal between the US and Canada with the U S 37 00:04:35.319 --> 00:04:44.319 m c A. So, so we're also going to hear 38 00:04:44.360 --> 00:04:52.519 today about Israel and Palestine. The there is a recording 39 00:04:52.560 --> 00:04:57.279 from the Human Rights Commission and the inquiries into what 40 00:04:57.480 --> 00:05:04.839 is actually going on with the let's put the judicial 41 00:05:05.040 --> 00:05:13.879 end of and holding people accountable for war crimes, and 42 00:05:13.879 --> 00:05:20.800 and for withdrawing humanitarian aid and trying to starve people 43 00:05:21.319 --> 00:05:29.199 until they die off, limitating and uh and stealing, stealing 44 00:05:29.199 --> 00:05:37.160 in destruction of cultural items that would help future generations 45 00:05:37.279 --> 00:05:45.399 identify with being Palestinian. All of these things are mounting 46 00:05:45.480 --> 00:05:52.000 up and and there there is a serious discussion about 47 00:05:52.279 --> 00:05:58.680 who is accountable and how not only units can be 48 00:05:58.759 --> 00:06:02.439 held accountable, mility where units can be held accountable, that 49 00:06:03.040 --> 00:06:09.160 individuals can also be held accountable for crimes against humanity 50 00:06:09.480 --> 00:06:13.759 and war crimes, for example. They are going to discuss 51 00:06:13.800 --> 00:06:20.759 this a little bit further, that the happening where Israeli 52 00:06:21.120 --> 00:06:26.959 citizens were held as hostages by the Hamas constitutes a 53 00:06:27.120 --> 00:06:35.600 war crime that and a crime against humanity, And with 54 00:06:36.040 --> 00:06:40.759 all that being said, they want to hold each individual 55 00:06:40.839 --> 00:06:48.480 person accountable for their crimes. They are also discussion about 56 00:06:48.519 --> 00:06:52.040 some of the people that have been arrested, and they 57 00:06:52.360 --> 00:06:58.399 don't even know how many people Israel is holding accountable 58 00:06:58.480 --> 00:07:03.199 for such crimes because there hasn't been any due process 59 00:07:03.360 --> 00:07:08.000 put forth to or trials to put put forth in 60 00:07:08.160 --> 00:07:13.600 order to figure out the evidence of each individual person. 61 00:07:14.279 --> 00:07:23.120 As they had a part in the holding of Israeli 62 00:07:23.199 --> 00:07:30.279 host citizens hostage UH during the during that time period 63 00:07:30.519 --> 00:07:38.800 UH from UH it was almost two years along with that. 64 00:07:38.879 --> 00:07:43.319 There they they have named individual units they could be 65 00:07:43.480 --> 00:07:46.800 held at military units that could be held accountable for 66 00:07:48.360 --> 00:07:56.480 the destruction of civilian sites in Gaza by the Israeli 67 00:07:56.600 --> 00:08:03.800 d UH defense forces there there. When they talk about accountability, 68 00:08:03.839 --> 00:08:06.759 they want to make sure that people understand that not 69 00:08:06.920 --> 00:08:12.680 only could your military unit be held responsible, but you 70 00:08:12.759 --> 00:08:19.279 personally can be held responsible in certain acts. And they 71 00:08:19.279 --> 00:08:22.160 want to make sure that for these war crimes, that 72 00:08:22.240 --> 00:08:28.920 people are held responsible and that they do suffer some 73 00:08:28.600 --> 00:08:34.320 uh some consequences and not just some military In some cases, 74 00:08:34.399 --> 00:08:38.919 some military tribunals have been held and Israel has swept 75 00:08:38.919 --> 00:08:43.200 the results of those under the rug rather than making 76 00:08:43.240 --> 00:08:47.720 it evident what the consequences were to soldiers who have 77 00:08:47.919 --> 00:08:56.080 committed such war crimes or that have done things violence 78 00:08:56.120 --> 00:09:03.200 against women and civilians, or with withdrawing of humanitarian aid 79 00:09:03.320 --> 00:09:12.879 such as food and clean water. They so this commission 80 00:09:12.919 --> 00:09:20.200 wants to make sure that that these these people who 81 00:09:20.279 --> 00:09:23.759 who commit these acts are treated and shown to be 82 00:09:24.639 --> 00:09:33.159 criminals in a humanitarian way. So we're gonna hear about 83 00:09:33.200 --> 00:09:41.399 that in the in this next episode and we're gonna 84 00:09:41.559 --> 00:09:47.840 also hear about from the United Nations Press UH floor 85 00:09:48.399 --> 00:09:55.639 about ongoing military actions between Iran and Israel, as well 86 00:09:55.679 --> 00:09:59.879 as some other things that have come up between Palace 87 00:10:00.679 --> 00:10:07.320 in Israel, I can more recent actions, and what the 88 00:10:07.440 --> 00:10:11.159 United Nations themselves are trying to do to push forward 89 00:10:11.720 --> 00:10:20.960 with humanitarian effort so that all parties have their rights 90 00:10:23.000 --> 00:10:31.679 supported and all parties are acting within the rules of 91 00:10:32.480 --> 00:10:36.840 international law. So with that, why don't we get started 92 00:10:37.200 --> 00:10:42.720 with here from mister Karney as he's trying to protect 93 00:10:43.240 --> 00:10:48.399 Canadian industry. 94 00:10:56.919 --> 00:11:03.519 Okay, good afternoon, everyone, bo to mont This week, Canada 95 00:11:03.559 --> 00:11:07.200 hosted the G seven Summit in Kanaanascus, Alberta and his 96 00:11:07.399 --> 00:11:14.159 chair I focused on strengthening international partnerships with leading nations 97 00:11:14.200 --> 00:11:17.559 around the table to find areas of cooperation on shared priorities. 98 00:11:18.480 --> 00:11:24.240 Anuvaux Lemontier, Vois la Valle de s for Rome, the 99 00:11:24.320 --> 00:11:34.200 Numbers Discussion France a velt On, Lena Paul battsil This Economy, 100 00:11:34.320 --> 00:11:40.960 Plue fart On, Hon Dan Lemonde, Blue Security, Tale La 101 00:11:41.080 --> 00:11:47.120 Security Energetic On Core, Jean le Patrea de la veder 102 00:11:48.600 --> 00:11:55.559 Qe canadasquis the Nouvelle Opportunity, Paula Canada, Sir le Mino, 103 00:11:55.639 --> 00:12:03.600 Jo Critsic, Evic dot p so Lantelijean, Sataficiel, Sir les 104 00:12:03.720 --> 00:12:11.799 Chen Dapo Vision looks bim Punc. Now Canadian leadership will 105 00:12:11.840 --> 00:12:14.879 be defined not just by the strength of our values, 106 00:12:14.960 --> 00:12:19.519 but also by the value of our strength. The world 107 00:12:20.000 --> 00:12:23.720 wants to do much more, much more, and work much 108 00:12:23.799 --> 00:12:29.360 more closely with Canada, and we're ready now. On Monday morning, 109 00:12:30.240 --> 00:12:34.679 I with colleagues met with President Trump to discuss international 110 00:12:34.759 --> 00:12:37.720 priorities as part of the G seven, but also to 111 00:12:37.879 --> 00:12:41.720 further negotiate a new economic and security partnership between Canada 112 00:12:41.759 --> 00:12:45.120 and the United States. And as we've said repeatedly, we'll 113 00:12:45.159 --> 00:12:48.039 take all the time we need to get the best 114 00:12:48.120 --> 00:12:52.360 deal for Canada, but no longer. And seeing progress that's 115 00:12:52.399 --> 00:12:56.240 been made, President Trump and I agreed to pursue negotiations 116 00:12:56.320 --> 00:13:01.120 towards a deal within the coming thirty days. Will continue 117 00:13:01.159 --> 00:13:06.120 these negotiations, of course, in good faith. In parallel, we 118 00:13:06.320 --> 00:13:11.039 must reinforce our strength at home and safeguard Canadian workers 119 00:13:11.120 --> 00:13:15.679 and businesses from the unjust US tariffs that exist at present. 120 00:13:17.080 --> 00:13:20.000 And that's why we're announcing that Canada will be introducing 121 00:13:20.080 --> 00:13:23.519 a series of countermeasures to protect Canadian steel and aluminum 122 00:13:23.559 --> 00:13:28.759 workers and producers. And there's several and I'm going to listen. First, 123 00:13:29.399 --> 00:13:34.039 Canada will adjust its existing counter tariffs on US steel 124 00:13:34.200 --> 00:13:38.000 and aluminum products on the twenty first of July, at 125 00:13:38.039 --> 00:13:39.960 the end of that thirty day period. In other words, 126 00:13:40.120 --> 00:13:43.080 we're going to adjust them to levels consistent with the 127 00:13:43.200 --> 00:13:46.399 progress that's made at that point on the broader training 128 00:13:46.559 --> 00:13:51.799 arrangements with the United States. Secondly, we will implement reciprocal 129 00:13:52.080 --> 00:13:58.000 procurement rules ensuring that only Canadian producers and producers from 130 00:13:58.080 --> 00:14:03.639 trading partners that provide Canada with terra free reciprocal access 131 00:14:04.159 --> 00:14:07.960 through trade agreements can compete for federal government procurement of 132 00:14:08.080 --> 00:14:16.360 steel and aluminum.

The Government of Canada will also review 143 00:15:32.440 --> 00:15:37.320 its remission framework for automobiles to favor the use of 144 00:15:37.399 --> 00:15:42.360 Canadian steel and aluminum in Canadian made products. And finally, 145 00:15:42.440 --> 00:15:46.720 we're creating two government stakeholder task forces, one for steel 146 00:15:46.759 --> 00:15:50.039 one for aluminum to monitor trade and market trends and 147 00:15:50.159 --> 00:15:54.159 to better support government decision making and workers going forward. 148 00:15:55.480 --> 00:16:01.399 Remind that the ten billion dollar Large Enterprise Tariff Loan 149 00:16:01.519 --> 00:16:06.039 Facility remains open to help affected businesses access the liquidity 150 00:16:06.240 --> 00:16:10.159 they need and to return to financial resilience as the 151 00:16:10.279 --> 00:16:15.159 market stabilizes. In short, the government is responding to the 152 00:16:15.200 --> 00:16:19.320 impact of the unjust US tariffs with multiple tools. We 153 00:16:19.440 --> 00:16:26.559 will review our response as the negotiations progress. I'll be 154 00:16:26.600 --> 00:16:29.279 meeting with the premiers of the provinces and territories tomorrow 155 00:16:29.360 --> 00:16:32.840 to discuss this response and our broader coordination going forward. 156 00:16:33.840 --> 00:16:36.679 The next week, I will attend the Canada EU Summit 157 00:16:37.200 --> 00:16:41.360 as well as the NATO Summit, as part of Canada's 158 00:16:41.440 --> 00:16:45.200 new government's mission to strengthen and build security and economic 159 00:16:45.279 --> 00:16:51.039 partnerships with reliable partners. And this week in this House, 160 00:16:51.840 --> 00:16:55.399 the Parliament has the opportunity to pass the core of 161 00:16:55.519 --> 00:17:01.039 our domestic economic response, the One Canadian Economy Act, because 162 00:17:01.159 --> 00:17:05.480 together we as Canadians can give ourselves far more than 163 00:17:05.519 --> 00:17:10.920 the Americans can ever take away. Steel and aluminum workers 164 00:17:10.960 --> 00:17:14.680 are on the front line of this trade crisis. These 165 00:17:14.759 --> 00:17:18.200 are the workers who will help us build one strong 166 00:17:18.319 --> 00:17:22.119 Canadian economy, the strongest economy in the G seven. Hello, 167 00:17:23.279 --> 00:17:35.200 Les Hotel, a new le feron Merci boku and now 168 00:17:35.279 --> 00:17:38.119 the ministers and I will be happy to take your questions. 169 00:17:38.559 --> 00:17:41.920 Thank you, PREMI settlement, come on, Slavic Jesse. 170 00:17:42.039 --> 00:17:43.440 So we'll start with the first question. 171 00:17:44.960 --> 00:17:46.119 You do not release the Globe and Mail. 172 00:17:46.519 --> 00:17:49.960 Are you opposing anti dumping tariffs because the US asked 173 00:17:50.000 --> 00:17:52.680 you too as part of these negotiations over the thirty days. 174 00:17:53.359 --> 00:17:55.359 Short answer, No, there was not a request from the 175 00:17:55.440 --> 00:17:59.079 United States, but it's a consequence of the US actions. 176 00:17:59.759 --> 00:18:02.559 As you know, the US tariffs on steel and aluminum 177 00:18:02.880 --> 00:18:06.160 are global tariffs. They're not targeted specifically at Canada, but 178 00:18:06.240 --> 00:18:09.160 they of course affect our steel industries and our workers. 179 00:18:09.440 --> 00:18:13.599 And one of the consequences of that effect or perspective consequences, 180 00:18:14.039 --> 00:18:16.839 is that steel from other countries, from third countries, start 181 00:18:16.880 --> 00:18:19.839 to come into Canada if we don't protect our industries. 182 00:18:19.960 --> 00:18:23.240 So we're setting these quotas it's a long word tariff 183 00:18:23.680 --> 00:18:26.440 tariff right quotas, but a quota for the amount of 184 00:18:26.480 --> 00:18:30.000 steel that can come in from third countries to limit 185 00:18:30.119 --> 00:18:33.519 that amount, to stabilize the market. And to be clear, 186 00:18:34.160 --> 00:18:37.200 we will be reviewing the level of those teriffrey quotas 187 00:18:37.440 --> 00:18:40.000 as this progresses. It depends on what the United States does, 188 00:18:40.400 --> 00:18:42.880 first and foremost with Canada, whether we come to an 189 00:18:42.880 --> 00:18:45.759 agreement the next thirty days, but also what they do 190 00:18:45.839 --> 00:18:53.839 with the rest of the world.

We've agreed to have another meeting tomorrow, 263 00:24:02.640 --> 00:24:05.039 so I'm following up. As the Prime Minister said, conscious 264 00:24:05.079 --> 00:24:08.920 of the deadline that he and President Trump fixed. The 265 00:24:09.000 --> 00:24:12.319 fact that there's now a deadline set by the two leaders, 266 00:24:12.400 --> 00:24:16.079 I think has focused the conversation. So I'm optimistic over 267 00:24:16.160 --> 00:24:18.200 the next three and a half weeks that we can 268 00:24:18.279 --> 00:24:21.119 make some progress and I'll be reporting to the Prime 269 00:24:21.119 --> 00:24:22.839 Minister as that progress unfolded. 270 00:24:23.640 --> 00:24:25.319 Thank you and for the Prime Minister. 271 00:24:25.599 --> 00:24:29.680 What are Canada's goals during these thirty day talks. 272 00:24:31.880 --> 00:24:35.440 Well, I mean the high level is the best goal, 273 00:24:36.039 --> 00:24:40.039 the best result for Canadian workers and businesses first thing. Secondly, 274 00:24:40.599 --> 00:24:42.920 for that to be the case, we need to stabilize 275 00:24:43.319 --> 00:24:47.559 the trading relationship with the United States. We need to 276 00:24:48.960 --> 00:24:54.039 have ready access to US markets for Canadian companies and 277 00:24:54.960 --> 00:24:59.119 for Canadian companies, and not have our hands tied in 278 00:24:59.279 --> 00:25:00.799 terms of our dealing with the rest of the world. 279 00:25:00.799 --> 00:25:02.400 Because I'll go back to something I said at the 280 00:25:02.480 --> 00:25:08.839 start and heard in every single interaction in Canadascus. The 281 00:25:08.960 --> 00:25:12.640 world wants to work with Canada. The world wants to 282 00:25:12.680 --> 00:25:16.519 work with Canada. Minister Jolie was just in the aerospace 283 00:25:17.000 --> 00:25:20.000 with the aerospace industry in France a few days ago. 284 00:25:20.759 --> 00:25:25.200 Minister Champagne elsewhere like people want to work with Canada. 285 00:25:25.279 --> 00:25:29.319 We have major delegation visiting here and so access to 286 00:25:29.400 --> 00:25:33.519 the US for our mutual benefit, but very much an 287 00:25:33.599 --> 00:25:35.720 ability to trade with the rest of the world, which 288 00:25:35.759 --> 00:25:39.039 we intend to take advantage of regardless of the outcome 289 00:25:39.079 --> 00:25:40.279 of the discussions with US. 290 00:25:40.920 --> 00:25:43.720 Next question, I guess your new Prime Minister David Baxter. 291 00:25:43.839 --> 00:25:46.400 With the Canadian press so earlier you were talking about 292 00:25:46.400 --> 00:25:49.000 the importance of getting C five passed. Last time we 293 00:25:49.079 --> 00:25:51.720 were hearing that the way this bill is being handled 294 00:25:51.799 --> 00:25:54.119 is laying the table out for a potential idle no 295 00:25:54.279 --> 00:25:56.759 more two point zero. Are you prepared for a potential 296 00:25:56.759 --> 00:25:59.240 summer of protests and how do you properly address the 297 00:25:59.279 --> 00:26:02.720 concerns raise by a host of indigenous organizations at this point. 298 00:26:03.480 --> 00:26:06.359 I mean, the first thing is that at the heart 299 00:26:06.640 --> 00:26:11.200 of this legislation is Section thirty five of our Constitution. 300 00:26:11.720 --> 00:26:15.960 At the heart is not just respect for, but full 301 00:26:16.039 --> 00:26:20.200 embrace of free, prior and informed consent. It has to 302 00:26:20.279 --> 00:26:24.279 be seen as well in parallel with very major measures 303 00:26:24.359 --> 00:26:28.599 that this government is taking to not just support that 304 00:26:28.920 --> 00:26:34.319 those partnerships, but also to finance equity ownership in these 305 00:26:34.400 --> 00:26:39.599 nation building projects for indigenous people's, indigenous groups, indigenous right hols. 306 00:26:40.400 --> 00:26:44.039 That's the first point. The second is that this legislation 307 00:26:44.839 --> 00:26:49.759 is enabling legislation. It creates the possibility of these projects. 308 00:26:49.799 --> 00:26:52.240 Now there's lots of suggestions of what the actual projects 309 00:26:52.240 --> 00:26:55.480 could be, but it creates the possibility, but a very 310 00:26:55.640 --> 00:27:01.279 clear process which has at its heart consultation, full consultations 311 00:27:01.599 --> 00:27:07.079 with indigenous peoples to define what is a nation building project. 312 00:27:07.599 --> 00:27:11.960 And then if something is one of those projects, then 313 00:27:12.039 --> 00:27:14.519 what are the conditions in order for that project to 314 00:27:14.680 --> 00:27:20.000 move forward, including participation obviously, I would think in almost 315 00:27:20.039 --> 00:27:24.640 every case environmental, other conditions, and then only if those 316 00:27:24.680 --> 00:27:31.920 conditions are met with the project moveward. So consultation, cooperation, engagement. 317 00:27:32.880 --> 00:27:37.359 Participation is at the heart of C five and that 318 00:27:37.599 --> 00:27:40.799 is how you build a nation, and that's very much 319 00:27:41.240 --> 00:27:43.160 how we've designed it, how we believe it, and that's 320 00:27:43.240 --> 00:27:45.160 how we'll be moving forward. 321 00:27:46.200 --> 00:27:47.200 Yeah, just on. 322 00:27:47.319 --> 00:27:50.799 India, what's changed in the last eight or nine months 323 00:27:50.880 --> 00:27:54.279 or so, Bri Canada is ready to have Indian diplomats 324 00:27:54.319 --> 00:27:57.240 back in the country, including a high commissioner. And did 325 00:27:57.279 --> 00:27:58.920 a hearty thing the jar come up at all in 326 00:27:58.960 --> 00:28:01.039 your conversation with mister Modi. 327 00:28:01.119 --> 00:28:03.920 The Well, let me let me go back to a 328 00:28:04.160 --> 00:28:08.720 very basic level, because this is a basic, almost foundational, 329 00:28:08.880 --> 00:28:13.240 necessary first step for the relationship, which is to exchange 330 00:28:13.319 --> 00:28:18.160 high commissioners and re begin effectively diplomatic service, a consular 331 00:28:18.200 --> 00:28:23.160 service we have. I mean, there are very deep ongoing 332 00:28:23.359 --> 00:28:27.759 ties of people to people, not just certainly of Indo Canadians, 333 00:28:27.799 --> 00:28:30.920 but of Canadians the whole. With India. We don't have 334 00:28:31.079 --> 00:28:34.319 a high commissioner in India right now. We're not serving 335 00:28:34.440 --> 00:28:37.359 Canadians in India right now because of where we are. 336 00:28:37.559 --> 00:28:39.640 I mean, the same the reciprocal would would hold for 337 00:28:39.720 --> 00:28:43.160 the Indian government. So just having a basic level of 338 00:28:43.480 --> 00:28:50.079 engagement is in many respects a duty of the government. 339 00:28:50.079 --> 00:28:53.680 I'm glad that we we came to that agreement understanding. 340 00:28:54.000 --> 00:28:57.920 That agreement understanding also is based on several things, uh, 341 00:28:58.680 --> 00:29:03.200 the law enforcement operation which clears saying, understanding of issues 342 00:29:03.240 --> 00:29:06.799 of transnational repression, which we're discussed not just at the 343 00:29:06.839 --> 00:29:10.359 G seven but also in the in the discussions of 344 00:29:10.359 --> 00:29:13.440 the Prime Minister and I had look, I'd never make 345 00:29:13.519 --> 00:29:17.359 it a policy to give a line by line transcript 346 00:29:17.440 --> 00:29:19.359 readout of exactly what said in the media.

And if I would note, and you don't 375 00:30:44.079 --> 00:30:45.920 need to take it from me, I'll quote the chair 376 00:30:45.960 --> 00:30:50.039 of the Federal Reserve this week who highlighted the risks 377 00:30:50.079 --> 00:30:53.079 of stagflation, in other words, inflation in their judgment Federal Reserves, 378 00:30:53.119 --> 00:30:54.519 what do they know but what this is what they 379 00:30:54.599 --> 00:30:57.599 think that inflation's going up, then growth is going to 380 00:30:57.640 --> 00:31:00.240 slow in the United States. The world's in the middle 381 00:31:00.240 --> 00:31:06.480 of a trade war and several wars, actual wars, including 382 00:31:06.519 --> 00:31:10.759 wars that can have quite significant implication for commodity prices, 383 00:31:10.759 --> 00:31:13.599 global growth, aside from the human costs that comes with them. 384 00:31:14.599 --> 00:31:18.880 Any responsible government, any responsible organization, makes contingency plans for 385 00:31:18.960 --> 00:31:19.839 those circumstances. 386 00:31:21.480 --> 00:31:24.000 I'd like to turn to talk of making Canada and 387 00:31:24.240 --> 00:31:25.160 energy superpower. 388 00:31:25.359 --> 00:31:26.960 Yeah, Daniel Smith has said, you. 389 00:31:26.960 --> 00:31:28.920 Know, there could be a referendum next year and the 390 00:31:29.039 --> 00:31:31.440 legislation around that is one hundred and seventy thousand people 391 00:31:31.480 --> 00:31:32.440 can put that on the ballot. 392 00:31:33.279 --> 00:31:33.400 You know. 393 00:31:34.079 --> 00:31:36.799 Brian Molrooney once perhaps referred to rolling the dice with 394 00:31:36.839 --> 00:31:40.000 the future of Canada. Is it appropriate for that few 395 00:31:40.079 --> 00:31:42.400 people to put the state, the fate of a G 396 00:31:42.559 --> 00:31:44.000 seven nation in the balance. 397 00:31:45.920 --> 00:31:51.400 Well, I see what you're trying to do. And look 398 00:31:51.680 --> 00:31:56.880 the Province of Alberta. Provinces make determinations on the rules 399 00:31:56.960 --> 00:32:02.119 governing referenda, voter plebiscites, other factors, and they can make 400 00:32:02.200 --> 00:32:05.920 determination of how they come in the forest, determinations on 401 00:32:07.160 --> 00:32:10.279
