00:00:04.200 --> 00:00:23.559
<v Speaker 1>Thank you for listening to Pictures Media Radio. Welcome to

2
00:00:23.600 --> 00:00:29.760
<v Speaker 1>Policy and Rights show up Gosh, welcomer, Policy Human Joys.

3
00:00:58.119 --> 00:01:01.000
<v Speaker 1>Welcome back to Policy and Race. Here to pick Media Radio.

4
00:01:01.119 --> 00:01:05.799
<v Speaker 1>I'm your host, Michael Cloggs. So here's an interesting thought

5
00:01:05.879 --> 00:01:12.159
<v Speaker 1>and question. Uh so, what do you do as a

6
00:01:12.239 --> 00:01:17.519
<v Speaker 1>country when your biggest trade partner decides that it wants

7
00:01:17.560 --> 00:01:20.519
<v Speaker 1>to be the biggest bully in the world, that it

8
00:01:20.640 --> 00:01:27.239
<v Speaker 1>wants to make the rest of the world been to

9
00:01:27.400 --> 00:01:33.239
<v Speaker 1>its well, been to its whim, been to its will

10
00:01:33.719 --> 00:01:40.319
<v Speaker 1>and do exactly what wants the world to do wants

11
00:01:41.000 --> 00:01:43.040
<v Speaker 1>When that bully wants the rest of the world to

12
00:01:43.079 --> 00:01:46.799
<v Speaker 1>do exactly what they say to do and nothing more

13
00:01:47.000 --> 00:01:52.200
<v Speaker 1>and nothing less, that they're the ones that need to

14
00:01:52.280 --> 00:01:55.359
<v Speaker 1>be in control of everything and the rest of the

15
00:01:55.439 --> 00:01:59.280
<v Speaker 1>world can take a back seat. What do you do

16
00:01:59.799 --> 00:02:06.439
<v Speaker 1>when your biggest trade partner their ideology becomes that of

17
00:02:07.159 --> 00:02:20.199
<v Speaker 1>supremacy and bigotry instead of inclusiveness, democracy and equality. Well,

18
00:02:21.719 --> 00:02:24.800
<v Speaker 1>it is something that Canada is actually facing when their

19
00:02:24.879 --> 00:02:27.960
<v Speaker 1>biggest trade partner, of course being the United States. And

20
00:02:28.000 --> 00:02:32.199
<v Speaker 1>that's exactly how the United States is acting at this time.

21
00:02:34.560 --> 00:02:43.840
<v Speaker 1>The whole make America great again campaign is that of

22
00:02:44.319 --> 00:02:46.599
<v Speaker 1>how do we bully the world into doing what we

23
00:02:46.680 --> 00:02:58.080
<v Speaker 1>wanted to do, and how do we eliminate those people

24
00:02:58.120 --> 00:03:03.840
<v Speaker 1>that we find less desirable from our country and how

25
00:03:03.960 --> 00:03:09.719
<v Speaker 1>is that going to spill over into into the rest

26
00:03:09.719 --> 00:03:15.800
<v Speaker 1>of the world as time marches forward. Okay, so there

27
00:03:15.919 --> 00:03:21.960
<v Speaker 1>is Canada is actually answering back to this, and the

28
00:03:22.039 --> 00:03:26.360
<v Speaker 1>Leberal government, led of course by Mark Carney as Prime Minister,

29
00:03:28.960 --> 00:03:33.800
<v Speaker 1>is actually coming up with new strategies to protect Canadians

30
00:03:34.840 --> 00:03:39.280
<v Speaker 1>and to protect Canadian interest. One of those things we're

31
00:03:39.319 --> 00:03:43.800
<v Speaker 1>gonna hear from uh from from them today and we're

32
00:03:43.840 --> 00:03:46.599
<v Speaker 1>also gonna hear uh, well, we may not hear too

33
00:03:46.599 --> 00:03:51.719
<v Speaker 1>many rebuttals for uh from one on the topic itself

34
00:03:52.199 --> 00:04:00.479
<v Speaker 1>about the new automotive strategy and how uh the the

35
00:04:00.520 --> 00:04:04.360
<v Speaker 1>Liberal government is pining on moving forward with such things

36
00:04:04.400 --> 00:04:09.159
<v Speaker 1>and other industries so that it protects Canada. So we're

37
00:04:09.240 --> 00:04:11.680
<v Speaker 1>going to hear from Mark Karney, and we're also going

38
00:04:11.719 --> 00:04:18.040
<v Speaker 1>to hear from Melanie Jolie, the Minister of Industry and

39
00:04:18.160 --> 00:04:29.120
<v Speaker 1>the Minister responsible for the Canadian Economic development for Quebec regions,

40
00:04:29.680 --> 00:04:35.240
<v Speaker 1>and they're coming with a new strategy and some of

41
00:04:35.240 --> 00:04:39.240
<v Speaker 1>the focuses on that are to accelerate investment in canada

42
00:04:39.639 --> 00:04:47.160
<v Speaker 1>automotive automotive manufacturing sector. The government is allocating three billion

43
00:04:47.199 --> 00:04:52.319
<v Speaker 1>dollars towards that and out of that, one hundred million

44
00:04:53.839 --> 00:04:59.759
<v Speaker 1>from the Regional Tariff Response Initiative to help the auto

45
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:07.839
<v Speaker 1>industry adapt and grow and in diverse ways. To rationalize

46
00:05:08.000 --> 00:05:14.959
<v Speaker 1>emissions reduction policies to focus on outcomes that matters to Canadians.

47
00:05:15.439 --> 00:05:20.959
<v Speaker 1>The government will introduce stronger greenhouse gas emissions standards for

48
00:05:21.279 --> 00:05:28.759
<v Speaker 1>models twenty seven from twenty twenty seven to twenty thirty two.

49
00:05:28.920 --> 00:05:32.959
<v Speaker 1>These standards will put Canada on the path to achieve

50
00:05:34.480 --> 00:05:39.040
<v Speaker 1>a goal of seventy five percent EV sales by twenty

51
00:05:39.079 --> 00:05:44.680
<v Speaker 1>thirty five and ninety percent EV sales by twenty forty.

52
00:05:45.279 --> 00:05:52.240
<v Speaker 1>To build domestic customer base to make electric vehicles more

53
00:05:52.279 --> 00:05:57.120
<v Speaker 1>affordable and reliable, the government will launch a five year

54
00:05:57.279 --> 00:06:04.600
<v Speaker 1>EVY affordability program. And there's several points to go along

55
00:06:04.639 --> 00:06:11.040
<v Speaker 1>with that, and please do check out our our blog

56
00:06:11.079 --> 00:06:17.399
<v Speaker 1>posts on depictions dot media for what the government is

57
00:06:17.439 --> 00:06:20.439
<v Speaker 1>actually trying to do with this Number five is to

58
00:06:20.519 --> 00:06:26.560
<v Speaker 1>protect Canadian auto workers and businesses from immediate pressures while

59
00:06:26.720 --> 00:06:31.240
<v Speaker 1>helping to bridge them to the future. The government will

60
00:06:31.319 --> 00:06:39.480
<v Speaker 1>provide support to employees through new work sharing grants, preventing

61
00:06:39.560 --> 00:06:46.040
<v Speaker 1>layouts and support worker retention so businesses can plan for

62
00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:54.240
<v Speaker 1>the future and a lot of us this does not

63
00:06:54.399 --> 00:06:59.279
<v Speaker 1>actually involve the United States. Some of it does involve

64
00:07:00.120 --> 00:07:10.639
<v Speaker 1>new partnerships with Asia and new partnerships being forged so

65
00:07:10.720 --> 00:07:17.839
<v Speaker 1>that Canada can can take a leadership role in well

66
00:07:18.279 --> 00:07:24.279
<v Speaker 1>the world economy and not take a backseat to the

67
00:07:24.439 --> 00:07:29.240
<v Speaker 1>United States any longer. So we're going to hear from

68
00:07:29.279 --> 00:07:31.879
<v Speaker 1>Melanie Jolie as she speaks about this. We're also going

69
00:07:31.959 --> 00:07:35.279
<v Speaker 1>to hear from Prime Minister Carney. We're going to hear

70
00:07:36.279 --> 00:07:45.800
<v Speaker 1>from advocates for Canadian workers and union members, and we're

71
00:07:45.839 --> 00:07:52.800
<v Speaker 1>also going to hear from the interim NDP leader as

72
00:07:52.800 --> 00:07:56.399
<v Speaker 1>he has something to say about the future, of course

73
00:07:56.399 --> 00:08:00.199
<v Speaker 1>of the NDP and the future of Canada along with that.

74
00:08:01.120 --> 00:08:07.759
<v Speaker 1>So why don't we get started and listen to what

75
00:08:07.800 --> 00:08:13.000
<v Speaker 1>everybody has to say. We'll do that in a second,

76
00:08:13.360 --> 00:08:20.839
<v Speaker 1>as there's some other things that well have to well,

77
00:08:20.920 --> 00:08:24.120
<v Speaker 1>we need to talk about some other things that Donald

78
00:08:24.160 --> 00:08:32.919
<v Speaker 1>Trump is doing. And as I said earlier that the

79
00:08:33.039 --> 00:08:37.840
<v Speaker 1>United States is becoming the biggest bully on the block. Well,

80
00:08:39.399 --> 00:08:49.720
<v Speaker 1>it isn't because of should we say, a wide spread

81
00:08:51.639 --> 00:08:56.639
<v Speaker 1>thought process, but it has to do more with what

82
00:08:57.080 --> 00:09:01.080
<v Speaker 1>one person is trying to do. And that person is

83
00:09:01.159 --> 00:09:08.639
<v Speaker 1>of course the president, Donald Trump. And there's some things

84
00:09:08.679 --> 00:09:18.120
<v Speaker 1>about him that he only has his own interests at heart.

85
00:09:18.200 --> 00:09:21.440
<v Speaker 1>He doesn't have all of the United States interests at

86
00:09:21.440 --> 00:09:27.120
<v Speaker 1>heart at all. That there's some recent things that have happened,

87
00:09:28.080 --> 00:09:34.600
<v Speaker 1>a member of Ice being arrested for public public destruction

88
00:09:34.759 --> 00:09:38.159
<v Speaker 1>and being a public nuisance and being fined six thousand

89
00:09:38.200 --> 00:09:47.600
<v Speaker 1>dollars in Minneapolis, Minnesota. There are some other things that

90
00:09:47.960 --> 00:09:55.799
<v Speaker 1>have were judges while some of some of the trials

91
00:09:55.799 --> 00:10:02.679
<v Speaker 1>that are still happening around Donald Trump, he'd is ordered, yes,

92
00:10:02.879 --> 00:10:06.440
<v Speaker 1>you can, as a judge order the president of the

93
00:10:06.519 --> 00:10:12.200
<v Speaker 1>United States to well shut up. And he has ignored

94
00:10:12.240 --> 00:10:17.600
<v Speaker 1>several gag orders and of course he has done that repeatedly.

95
00:10:18.399 --> 00:10:25.879
<v Speaker 1>And here as a thought, what if the president of

96
00:10:25.919 --> 00:10:30.080
<v Speaker 1>the United States is found in contempt of court by

97
00:10:30.120 --> 00:10:34.200
<v Speaker 1>a judge? What does that actually mean and how can

98
00:10:34.240 --> 00:10:39.440
<v Speaker 1>it be enforced? And that's something they could we could

99
00:10:39.440 --> 00:10:43.360
<v Speaker 1>be seen pretty soon as.

100
00:10:44.440 --> 00:10:44.600
<v Speaker 2>Well.

101
00:10:44.639 --> 00:10:48.200
<v Speaker 1>He's not following the judges orders just because you are

102
00:10:48.320 --> 00:10:52.480
<v Speaker 1>the president doesn't mean that you are held above or

103
00:10:52.639 --> 00:10:59.879
<v Speaker 1>beyond the law that in many in many respects, you

104
00:11:00.000 --> 00:11:04.720
<v Speaker 1>who are the greatest example of a citizen who respects

105
00:11:04.840 --> 00:11:12.360
<v Speaker 1>the law in many respects. The President of the United

106
00:11:12.360 --> 00:11:17.600
<v Speaker 1>States is an example of that person who does their

107
00:11:17.720 --> 00:11:25.120
<v Speaker 1>best to abide by the rules and the law, because

108
00:11:26.039 --> 00:11:32.240
<v Speaker 1>ultimately he is the chief executive officer of all of

109
00:11:32.279 --> 00:11:36.440
<v Speaker 1>those who have taken an oath to protect the law,

110
00:11:36.919 --> 00:11:45.159
<v Speaker 1>the constitution, and the country. And it's something that Donald

111
00:11:45.159 --> 00:11:50.039
<v Speaker 1>Trump took that oath with his fingers crossed, with no

112
00:11:50.080 --> 00:11:56.240
<v Speaker 1>intentions at all of honoring what that oath truly means.

113
00:11:57.360 --> 00:12:01.440
<v Speaker 1>It's something to think about, especially if you're living in

114
00:12:01.480 --> 00:12:05.360
<v Speaker 1>the United States right now. What do you do now

115
00:12:05.960 --> 00:12:12.000
<v Speaker 1>that you've figured out that your president has no intentions

116
00:12:12.320 --> 00:12:16.840
<v Speaker 1>of honoring it what the definition of the United States

117
00:12:16.840 --> 00:12:22.519
<v Speaker 1>truly is. So with that being said, let's get started

118
00:12:22.559 --> 00:12:25.159
<v Speaker 1>and we're going to hear from Melanie Jolie as she

119
00:12:25.399 --> 00:12:33.240
<v Speaker 1>talks about new plans for the Canadian automotive sector and

120
00:12:33.399 --> 00:12:36.200
<v Speaker 1>what it means for the Canadian economy.

121
00:12:42.799 --> 00:12:47.600
<v Speaker 3>I'm Dominica Ruric. I'm the Member of Parliament for Guelf Merce,

00:13:12.440 --> 00:13:13.360
<v Speaker 3>position in the.

130
00:13:21.120 --> 00:13:24.720
<v Speaker 3>they both underscore the importance of ongoing support for the

131
00:13:24.759 --> 00:13:27.639
<v Speaker 3>best auto workers in the world, support for innovation in

<v Speaker 3>to the Canadian economy, to each word and to each community.

153
00:15:02.440 --> 00:15:06.799
<v Speaker 3>The strategy supports and showcases Canada's ability to adapt, to innovate,

154
00:15:06.960 --> 00:15:11.120
<v Speaker 3>and to lead when the world is changing quickly. We

155
00:15:11.200 --> 00:15:15.240
<v Speaker 3>know global competition is intensifying. Consumers are demanding cleaner, smarter,

156
00:15:15.360 --> 00:15:19.519
<v Speaker 3>more efficient options. Countries around the world are racing to

157
00:15:19.600 --> 00:15:23.240
<v Speaker 3>secure the investments, talent and supply chains that will define

158
00:15:23.279 --> 00:15:27.000
<v Speaker 3>the next generation of mobility, and Canada has every reason

159
00:15:27.080 --> 00:15:30.320
<v Speaker 3>to lead this race for the sector and in our

167
00:16:03.519 --> 00:16:06.080
<v Speaker 3>today a leader who has served as the Minister of

168
00:16:06.080 --> 00:16:10.879
<v Speaker 3>Global Affairs, therefore deeply understands like global dynamics and now

169
00:16:10.879 --> 00:16:15.679
<v Speaker 3>works tirelessly to strengthen Canada's industrial capacity to attract major

170
00:16:15.720 --> 00:16:20.320
<v Speaker 3>investments and a champion innovation across the country. It's my

171
00:16:20.440 --> 00:16:23.279
<v Speaker 3>absolute honor to invite you to join me in welcoming

172
00:16:23.399 --> 00:16:27.559
<v Speaker 3>my colleague, my minister on the Industry Committee and Canada's

173
00:16:27.600 --> 00:16:30.720
<v Speaker 3>Minister of Industry. Be honorable and ENERGINI.

174
00:16:38.879 --> 00:16:44.879
<v Speaker 4>Well, thank you. The Manique to six tradition fun Devani media.

175
00:16:45.960 --> 00:16:48.399
<v Speaker 4>So I just said in French. You know already that

176
00:16:48.440 --> 00:16:51.159
<v Speaker 4>I'm a fan, but I'm saying it in front the media.

177
00:16:52.720 --> 00:16:57.480
<v Speaker 4>Dominic has been a tireless advocate obviously for Gwelth in

178
00:16:57.639 --> 00:17:02.320
<v Speaker 4>southwestern Ontario, but actually also focusing on the auto sector.

179
00:17:02.679 --> 00:17:05.319
<v Speaker 4>And she was the first to create an auto caucus

180
00:17:05.319 --> 00:17:09.359
<v Speaker 4>within our caucus and she's been leading it. So she's

181
00:17:09.359 --> 00:17:13.680
<v Speaker 4>been actually a very important part of putting the auto

182
00:17:13.720 --> 00:17:20.839
<v Speaker 4>strategy together. So thank you so much, mister Mayor, mpp Mark, everybody.

183
00:17:20.960 --> 00:17:26.359
<v Speaker 4>I'm really happy to be here. Unfortunately Linda is elsewhere,

184
00:17:26.759 --> 00:17:31.519
<v Speaker 4>but we love Linda and we know she's working and

185
00:17:31.599 --> 00:17:34.440
<v Speaker 4>I'll be in contact with her later today. So thank

186
00:17:34.480 --> 00:17:40.720
<v Speaker 4>you for hosting us. When you think about it and

187
00:17:40.960 --> 00:17:44.000
<v Speaker 4>take a bit of a step back of what does

188
00:17:44.039 --> 00:17:50.000
<v Speaker 4>it mean to be part of the auto industry in Canada, Well,

189
00:17:50.079 --> 00:17:55.759
<v Speaker 4>we're five hundred thousand auto workers strong. We're fundamentally an

190
00:17:55.799 --> 00:18:01.039
<v Speaker 4>auto nation. We build the best card in the world

191
00:18:01.200 --> 00:18:06.599
<v Speaker 4>for the world, and we've been time and time again

192
00:18:07.599 --> 00:18:13.680
<v Speaker 4>winning prizes because we're building these cars, and also we

193
00:18:13.759 --> 00:18:17.160
<v Speaker 4>have some of the most productive plants auto plants in

194
00:18:17.200 --> 00:18:23.240
<v Speaker 4>the world. Even recently, I know that the Dodge Charger

195
00:18:23.519 --> 00:18:26.759
<v Speaker 4>won the Car of the Year at the Detroit Auto Show.

196
00:18:26.920 --> 00:18:31.079
<v Speaker 4>I know that Linamar has been participating in actually building

197
00:18:31.119 --> 00:18:34.759
<v Speaker 4>this car. Because a lot of the autoparts come from

198
00:18:34.839 --> 00:18:38.240
<v Speaker 4>Lenamar and from here. So I wanted to congratulate the team,

199
00:18:38.319 --> 00:18:42.079
<v Speaker 4>the executive team, the workers, because that's because of your work.

200
00:18:42.319 --> 00:18:46.200
<v Speaker 4>So congrats. I know we're not that many, but why not?

201
00:18:46.759 --> 00:18:52.799
<v Speaker 4>Why not? And where we can also be extremely proud

202
00:18:53.160 --> 00:18:57.640
<v Speaker 4>is we have national champions when it comes to autoparts,

203
00:18:58.160 --> 00:19:02.720
<v Speaker 4>and Linimar is one of the three national champions, not

204
00:19:02.759 --> 00:19:07.319
<v Speaker 4>only building here but also across the world autoparts. So

205
00:19:07.599 --> 00:19:12.839
<v Speaker 4>we come to the Auto Conversation in a place of strength,

206
00:19:13.960 --> 00:19:17.799
<v Speaker 4>and we know that the sector is going through a

207
00:19:17.799 --> 00:19:23.680
<v Speaker 4>lot of change. Yes, US tariffs unjustified, unjustifiable twenty five

208
00:19:23.720 --> 00:19:27.559
<v Speaker 4>percent tariffs against our industry and our workers. But also

209
00:19:27.759 --> 00:19:29.799
<v Speaker 4>it is happening at a time where there's a real

210
00:19:29.880 --> 00:19:34.319
<v Speaker 4>revolution happening in the auto sector because we know that

211
00:19:34.839 --> 00:19:38.759
<v Speaker 4>the electrification is a reality. The market is going there,

212
00:19:38.799 --> 00:19:42.559
<v Speaker 4>and actually capital is going there. It has not necessarily

213
00:19:42.759 --> 00:19:46.279
<v Speaker 4>hit as much North America, but it's a question of

214
00:19:46.319 --> 00:19:50.559
<v Speaker 4>time and by twenty thirty five, forty percent of all

215
00:19:50.599 --> 00:19:56.119
<v Speaker 4>the cars in the world sold will be evs. So

216
00:19:57.119 --> 00:20:01.319
<v Speaker 4>what do we do. There are lots of things we

217
00:20:01.319 --> 00:20:04.400
<v Speaker 4>can't control. We can't control what's going on in south

218
00:20:04.440 --> 00:20:07.240
<v Speaker 4>of the border, but there are many things we can control,

219
00:20:07.960 --> 00:20:10.720
<v Speaker 4>and what we do with our auto sector is something

220
00:20:10.799 --> 00:20:14.000
<v Speaker 4>we can control. And so we'll continue to fight for

221
00:20:14.039 --> 00:20:18.839
<v Speaker 4>auto workers, We'll continue to fight for auto businesses, and

222
00:20:18.960 --> 00:20:23.240
<v Speaker 4>I'll make sure that I fight within cabinet to prioritize

223
00:20:23.279 --> 00:20:29.960
<v Speaker 4>the auto sector and so and dominique within caucus as well.

224
00:20:31.240 --> 00:20:37.559
<v Speaker 4>So our auto strategy has two main objectives. First, auto production.

225
00:20:38.480 --> 00:20:41.960
<v Speaker 4>We want to make sure that we build cars in Canada,

226
00:20:42.480 --> 00:20:45.359
<v Speaker 4>build them for North America, but also for the world.

227
00:20:46.240 --> 00:20:49.720
<v Speaker 4>And the other objective is we want to embrace progress.

228
00:20:50.480 --> 00:20:55.200
<v Speaker 4>We want to be able to embrace the new technologies

229
00:20:55.319 --> 00:20:59.200
<v Speaker 4>that are being developed in the auto sector. So that's

230
00:20:59.240 --> 00:21:03.599
<v Speaker 4>why yesterday we announced a very important the Prime Minister

231
00:21:03.640 --> 00:21:07.079
<v Speaker 4>announce a very important auto strategy which is built on

232
00:21:07.200 --> 00:21:11.799
<v Speaker 4>these different initiatives. First, three billion dollars to support our automakers,

233
00:21:12.680 --> 00:21:17.799
<v Speaker 4>to protect jobs, but also to attract new investments. Second,

234
00:21:17.880 --> 00:21:22.079
<v Speaker 4>we'll continue to put counter tariffs against American made vehicles

235
00:21:22.400 --> 00:21:26.039
<v Speaker 4>because they put the US has put tariffs on our

236
00:21:26.440 --> 00:21:32.640
<v Speaker 4>auto sector. But we will also allow more market access

237
00:21:32.960 --> 00:21:38.480
<v Speaker 4>to companies that decide to invest here and actually build

238
00:21:38.519 --> 00:21:42.240
<v Speaker 4>even more. And there are companies such as Honda and Toyota,

239
00:21:42.319 --> 00:21:46.440
<v Speaker 4>that since the beginning of this trade war have actually

240
00:21:46.599 --> 00:21:50.920
<v Speaker 4>increased their auto production, so we want to reward them.

241
00:21:51.599 --> 00:21:55.440
<v Speaker 4>We're also putting in place e the incentives five thousands

242
00:21:55.480 --> 00:22:00.160
<v Speaker 4>for eves and particularly also those made in Canada, and

243
00:22:00.359 --> 00:22:07.440
<v Speaker 4>twenty five hundred for hybrid plugins. We're going after GHD

244
00:22:08.200 --> 00:22:13.440
<v Speaker 4>reduction through new GHD emission standards, and we think that

245
00:22:13.559 --> 00:22:18.880
<v Speaker 4>we'll drive down emissions. But we're also aligning US elves

246
00:22:19.319 --> 00:22:24.000
<v Speaker 4>much more with Europe, which is a first. We will

247
00:22:24.039 --> 00:22:27.880
<v Speaker 4>build new charging stations across the country. We know that

248
00:22:27.920 --> 00:22:31.400
<v Speaker 4>there's range anxiety and we need to address this. There

249
00:22:31.400 --> 00:22:34.480
<v Speaker 4>are solutions we've seen elsewhere in the world. They're being built.

250
00:22:34.720 --> 00:22:37.680
<v Speaker 4>We're putting one point five billion dollars in the Infrastructure

251
00:22:38.160 --> 00:22:41.759
<v Speaker 4>Bank to make sure that that's the case. We're also

252
00:22:41.880 --> 00:22:45.319
<v Speaker 4>going to push even more for work sharing program and

253
00:22:45.519 --> 00:22:49.839
<v Speaker 4>really prevent layoffs, so that's also focused on workers. And finally,

254
00:22:50.319 --> 00:22:54.160
<v Speaker 4>we're tracking new investments. Our goal is to leverage our

255
00:22:54.160 --> 00:22:58.400
<v Speaker 4>defense procurement, particularly the submarine deal, to track new car

256
00:22:58.440 --> 00:23:01.799
<v Speaker 4>plants in Canada and all so we will use our

257
00:23:01.799 --> 00:23:05.200
<v Speaker 4>trade agreements to have market access around the world to

258
00:23:05.359 --> 00:23:09.119
<v Speaker 4>export the cars made here. So today I'm happy to

259
00:23:09.119 --> 00:23:12.799
<v Speaker 4>announce that in the coming weeks I will convene the

260
00:23:12.839 --> 00:23:16.480
<v Speaker 4>Canada Auto Task Force, and I was on the phone

261
00:23:16.480 --> 00:23:19.720
<v Speaker 4>with Premiere Forward again this morning and with Minister Fideli

262
00:23:20.240 --> 00:23:25.240
<v Speaker 4>and together with the province, we will bring key decision

263
00:23:25.400 --> 00:23:30.960
<v Speaker 4>makers from the auto industry, labor and government to have

264
00:23:31.160 --> 00:23:35.079
<v Speaker 4>a clear plan for the future. Our first objective will

265
00:23:35.160 --> 00:23:40.039
<v Speaker 4>be to build the twenty twenty nine Honda Civic and

266
00:23:40.119 --> 00:23:44.279
<v Speaker 4>Canada and we will secure the future Toyota Wrap four

267
00:23:44.559 --> 00:23:50.119
<v Speaker 4>and Lexus models for Canadian production. First objective. Second objective

268
00:23:50.480 --> 00:23:54.440
<v Speaker 4>we are bringing production home and we will focus on Ingersoll,

269
00:23:54.680 --> 00:23:58.960
<v Speaker 4>Brampton and Oshawa which have been hit by either closures

270
00:23:59.079 --> 00:24:03.680
<v Speaker 4>or reduction of ship And third objective we will attract

271
00:24:03.680 --> 00:24:08.599
<v Speaker 4>new partners to build new auto plants in Canada Grass Strategic,

272

273
00:24:23.839 --> 00:24:29.279
<v Speaker 4>Ovava are So. Twenty twenty five was a year where

274
00:24:29.319 --> 00:24:32.599
<v Speaker 4>we were all reacting to what was going on, particularly

275
00:24:33.079 --> 00:24:36.160
<v Speaker 4>south of the border. Twenty twenty six is the year

276
00:24:36.200 --> 00:24:39.440
<v Speaker 4>where we have a plan and we're moving ahead. Will

277
00:24:39.440 --> 00:24:41.559
<v Speaker 4>be a pleasure for me to take all your questions.

278
00:24:41.640 --> 00:24:52.759
<v Speaker 5>Yes, when will take a few questions your name.

279
00:24:54.680 --> 00:24:56.599
<v Speaker 6>Hi Santa reporter with God today.

280
00:24:56.799 --> 00:24:58.599
<v Speaker 4>Hi nice smitten, Nice.

281
00:24:58.400 --> 00:25:01.200
<v Speaker 6>To meet you as well. I know Linda isn't here,

282
00:25:01.720 --> 00:25:04.640
<v Speaker 6>but around this time last year there was announcement here

283
00:25:05.960 --> 00:25:08.519
<v Speaker 6>and I'd ask her a question regarding the tariffs. Everything

284
00:25:08.599 --> 00:25:12.240
<v Speaker 6>was quite new and she said, in her opinion, if

285
00:25:12.279 --> 00:25:15.240
<v Speaker 6>a significant tariff is imposed, it will bring the industry

286
00:25:15.319 --> 00:25:16.000
<v Speaker 6>to its knees.

287
00:25:16.920 --> 00:25:19.480
<v Speaker 4>That was last year. What about this year?

288
00:25:19.759 --> 00:25:23.000
<v Speaker 6>You just sort of said moving forward, Well.

289
00:25:22.759 --> 00:25:25.160
<v Speaker 4>Our goal is that we will make sure that we

290
00:25:25.240 --> 00:25:29.759
<v Speaker 4>fight back and are the workers have been at work

291
00:25:30.119 --> 00:25:33.079
<v Speaker 4>dedicated to build the best cars in the world. I've

292
00:25:33.119 --> 00:25:36.480
<v Speaker 4>just mentioned we just won the Dotch Charger as the

293
00:25:36.480 --> 00:25:40.759
<v Speaker 4>car of the Year at the Detroit Auto Show. But

294
00:25:40.880 --> 00:25:45.079
<v Speaker 4>also we won't just sit idle while our industry is

295
00:25:45.160 --> 00:25:50.640
<v Speaker 4>under threat. No, we're finding new partners, We're diversifying, we

296
00:25:50.720 --> 00:25:55.119
<v Speaker 4>will continue to invest. And I think that in the eighties,

297
00:25:55.480 --> 00:26:01.039
<v Speaker 4>Cana was facing a similar challenge. D three were basically

298
00:26:01.279 --> 00:26:06.279
<v Speaker 4>shutting down operations and cutting jobs across the country. What

299
00:26:06.599 --> 00:26:13.039
<v Speaker 4>happened The liberal government at the time decided to turn

300
00:26:13.079 --> 00:26:18.359
<v Speaker 4>towards Japan, and eventually the mulroney government decided to open

301
00:26:19.079 --> 00:26:24.640
<v Speaker 4>Japanese made car plants in Canada, and since then, Honda

302
00:26:24.680 --> 00:26:28.519
<v Speaker 4>and Toyota have been producing seventy seven percent of all

303
00:26:28.519 --> 00:26:32.359
<v Speaker 4>the cars in Canada this year, no major layoffs in

304
00:26:32.440 --> 00:26:35.799
<v Speaker 4>forty years. So we will invest in those who invest

305
00:26:35.839 --> 00:26:36.119
<v Speaker 4>in us.

306
00:26:37.680 --> 00:26:40.319
<v Speaker 6>With that investment, what can well see, what can Letamar

307
00:26:40.440 --> 00:26:42.119
<v Speaker 6>see to propel forward.

308
00:26:42.440 --> 00:26:45.920
<v Speaker 4>So Mark and I are sitting down later today. What

309
00:26:46.000 --> 00:26:49.920
<v Speaker 4>I would like to do is to not only expand

310
00:26:51.000 --> 00:26:57.200
<v Speaker 4>even more the business plan of Linamar, but I want

311
00:26:57.240 --> 00:27:00.359
<v Speaker 4>to make sure also that we are able both to

312
00:27:02.799 --> 00:27:08.480
<v Speaker 4>foster even more investment by our major auto parts companies

313
00:27:08.920 --> 00:27:13.039
<v Speaker 4>with new players in the market. Linamar has great knowledge

314
00:27:13.119 --> 00:27:19.000
<v Speaker 4>from around the world of the different auto trends, and

315
00:27:19.079 --> 00:27:21.839
<v Speaker 4>so I think we can see what we can do

316
00:27:22.279 --> 00:27:26.839
<v Speaker 4>to build much more Kenny made cars with Auto Canadian

317
00:27:27.039 --> 00:27:29.799
<v Speaker 4>auto parts suppliers from here.

318
00:27:30.920 --> 00:27:36.319
<v Speaker 6>My last question, yeah, in terms of ev you know

319
00:27:36.359 --> 00:27:40.000
<v Speaker 6>we've got here at Lenamar. They're doing things with batteries

320
00:27:40.000 --> 00:27:44.160
<v Speaker 6>and storage and things like that, and local advocates here

321
00:27:44.200 --> 00:27:47.200
<v Speaker 6>with Emerge. Well, I've been pushing for these rebates back,

322
00:27:47.400 --> 00:27:50.640
<v Speaker 6>et cetera. What do you say to the locals who're

323
00:27:50.680 --> 00:27:54.440
<v Speaker 6>pushing for EVY harder than ever, Well, they.

324
00:27:54.359 --> 00:28:01.000
<v Speaker 4>Should good news. Well, work with them.

325
00:28:01.200 --> 00:28:07.160

330
00:28:39.160 --> 00:28:42.200
<v Speaker 4>Silentest news. I think it's really good news. I think

331
00:28:42.279 --> 00:28:44.759
<v Speaker 4>that it's very welcome and it shows that alg is

332
00:28:44.759 --> 00:28:45.640

340
00:29:31.440 --> 00:29:33.440
<v Speaker 4>we will invest in those who invest in us. And

341
00:29:33.480 --> 00:29:35.559
<v Speaker 4>what do I mean by that? We just signed a

342
00:29:35.640 --> 00:29:39.880

343

<v Speaker 9>Naioku, thank you, thank you very much, Minister Jolie, Minister

00:30:03.000 --> 00:30:06.359
<v Speaker 2>Let me just start it is. This is a great day.

349
00:30:06.920 --> 00:30:07.759
<v Speaker 2>It is a great day.

350
00:30:07.880 --> 00:30:11.640
<v Speaker 9>It's always a good day to be back at Martin Ria.

351
00:30:11.920 --> 00:30:16.440
<v Speaker 9>I want to just thank the team here, Rob, Fred

352
00:30:16.920 --> 00:30:21.240
<v Speaker 9>and Kada, all the team here. This is an extraordinary

353
00:30:21.880 --> 00:30:26.920
<v Speaker 9>Canadian success company story. This is a great day because

354
00:30:26.920 --> 00:30:33.400
<v Speaker 9>we're celebrating a couple of births. We are celebrating the

355
00:30:33.480 --> 00:30:47.039
<v Speaker 9>birthday of Rob Wilde, or because of Flavio Volpe, it's

356
00:30:47.079 --> 00:30:51.920
<v Speaker 9>many contributions. We are celebrating the birthday or the unveiling

357
00:30:52.519 --> 00:30:55.599
<v Speaker 9>of the Arrow two point zero, which shows what the

358
00:30:55.640 --> 00:31:03.799
<v Speaker 9>future of automotive in Canada is. And we're celebrating the

359
00:31:03.880 --> 00:31:09.000
<v Speaker 9>future of the world's greatest auto industry. We are here

360
00:31:09.480 --> 00:31:12.039
<v Speaker 9>where Canada Strong is forged.

361
00:31:12.240 --> 00:31:15.680
<v Speaker 2>Every day this company, nearly.

362
00:31:15.599 --> 00:31:20.000
<v Speaker 9>Twenty thousand skilled workers come together to build the engine blocks,

363
00:31:20.000 --> 00:31:23.559
<v Speaker 9>the transmission housings, the control arms, the future that helps

364
00:31:23.599 --> 00:31:27.519
<v Speaker 9>drive our auto industry and our economy. And as you

365
00:31:27.759 --> 00:31:30.160
<v Speaker 9>just heard, but you know this, you just heard from

366
00:31:30.160 --> 00:31:33.319
<v Speaker 9>the minister. This is a pivotal moment both for the

367
00:31:33.359 --> 00:31:35.519
<v Speaker 9>industry and our economy.

368
00:31:36.599 --> 00:31:39.319
<v Speaker 2>We know that US tariffs have upended.

369
00:31:38.799 --> 00:31:43.359
<v Speaker 9>The bargain that's existed for as long as I've lived.

370
00:31:44.559 --> 00:31:46.039
<v Speaker 2>It's put our.

371
00:31:45.960 --> 00:31:49.240
<v Speaker 9>Workers, our businesses, our country under a cloud of uncertainty.

372
00:31:50.359 --> 00:31:53.160
<v Speaker 9>We also know you see some of the innovation here.

373
00:31:53.200 --> 00:31:56.960
<v Speaker 9>We know that the global auto sector is being radically transformed,

374
00:31:57.880 --> 00:32:02.839
<v Speaker 9>rapid shifts towards lower mission is, towards greater connectivity, towards

375
00:32:02.839 --> 00:32:04.559
<v Speaker 9>even more advanced manufacturing.

376
00:32:05.400 --> 00:32:06.880
<v Speaker 2>So the decisions that.

377
00:32:07.119 --> 00:32:12.960
<v Speaker 9>Canada makes now will shape careers, communities and our economies

378
00:32:13.799 --> 00:32:24.519
<v Speaker 9>for decades to come. And we will not miss this opportunity.

379
00:32:26.119 --> 00:32:31.039
<v Speaker 9>A confident Canada like a confident Martin RAA confident Canada

380
00:32:31.440 --> 00:32:36.079
<v Speaker 9>is making the strategic decisions and the generational investments today

381
00:32:36.759 --> 00:32:43.359
<v Speaker 9>to build the affordable, enjoyable and low emissions automobiles of

382
00:32:43.440 --> 00:32:50.519
<v Speaker 9>the future. As Minister Julie just said, Canada is an AutoNation.

383
00:32:50.799 --> 00:32:54.359
<v Speaker 9>The auto industry is central to our story. In fact,

384
00:32:54.839 --> 00:32:58.759
<v Speaker 9>the first automobile manufactured here was in the year of

385
00:32:58.839 --> 00:33:03.960
<v Speaker 9>Confederation a teen sixty seven in Stanstad, Quebec. Henry Seth

386
00:33:04.000 --> 00:33:09.680
<v Speaker 9>Taylor built the first Canadian made automobile, the tailor steam

387
00:33:09.680 --> 00:33:14.720
<v Speaker 9>buggy was powered by a simple coal boiler and mounted

388
00:33:14.799 --> 00:33:16.440
<v Speaker 9>on a wagon wheel carriage.

389
00:33:16.519 --> 00:33:18.440
<v Speaker 2>It was a one off, hand built.

390
00:33:18.319 --> 00:33:23.400
<v Speaker 9>Machine, never intended for mass production, but it proved Canadian

391
00:33:23.400 --> 00:33:24.880
<v Speaker 9>made automobiles are possible.

392
00:33:25.759 --> 00:33:27.319
<v Speaker 2>One hundred and fifty eight years on.

393
00:33:28.319 --> 00:33:33.200
<v Speaker 9>The auto industry is the core pillar of the Canadian economy.

394
00:33:34.000 --> 00:33:37.359
<v Speaker 2>More than half a million Canadians.

395
00:33:37.119 --> 00:33:40.359
<v Speaker 9>Wake up every morning, go to work and bring home

396
00:33:40.400 --> 00:33:44.720
<v Speaker 9>a paycheck. Because we make cars in this country. Entire

397
00:33:44.799 --> 00:33:50.039
<v Speaker 9>communities have been built around car plants. Cities Towns, windsor Alston,

398
00:33:50.640 --> 00:33:56.359
<v Speaker 9>two examples. The auto sector remains the largest employer. Will

403
00:34:25.239 --> 00:34:29.039
<v Speaker 9>symbol of how closely the Canadian and American economies have

404
00:34:29.119 --> 00:34:33.639
<v Speaker 9>been intertwined than automobiles. The average car is built from

405
00:34:33.679 --> 00:34:37.400
<v Speaker 9>parts that travel across our border up to eight times

406
00:34:37.440 --> 00:34:43.119
<v Speaker 9>before landing on the showroom floor. Ninety percent of Canada's

407
00:34:43.159 --> 00:34:47.199
<v Speaker 9>finished vehicles, sixty percent of our auto parts are exported

408
00:34:47.239 --> 00:34:51.519
<v Speaker 9>to the United States, but that trade relationship that once

409
00:34:51.760 --> 00:34:57.360
<v Speaker 9>was a great strength has now become a serious vulnerability. Now,

410
00:34:57.360 --> 00:35:01.920
<v Speaker 9>I want to be clear, Canada still has the best

411
00:35:02.440 --> 00:35:05.960
<v Speaker 9>deal of any US trading partner, with eighty five percent

412
00:35:06.639 --> 00:35:09.480
<v Speaker 9>of our trade with the United States remaining tariff free

413
00:35:09.519 --> 00:35:10.519
<v Speaker 9>in the lowest.

414
00:35:10.159 --> 00:35:11.519
<v Speaker 2>Average tariff right in the world.

415
00:35:16.159 --> 00:35:18.960
<v Speaker 9>And as we prepare for the joint review of COSMA

416
00:35:19.039 --> 00:35:22.920
<v Speaker 9>it will begin later this year, Canada's new government remains

417
00:35:22.960 --> 00:35:28.760
<v Speaker 9>focused on protecting this unique Canadian advantage. Our objective is

418
00:35:28.840 --> 00:35:32.360
<v Speaker 9>to remove all tariffs in the auto sector to build

419
00:35:32.440 --> 00:35:35.400
<v Speaker 9>the strongest North American auto sector.

420
00:35:36.159 --> 00:35:37.960
<v Speaker 2>That's what we will build together.

421
00:35:45.320 --> 00:35:49.599
<v Speaker 9>But we recognize that that is not the current objective

422
00:35:50.119 --> 00:35:51.280
<v Speaker 9>of the US administration.

423
00:35:52.760 --> 00:35:54.840
<v Speaker 2>Their approach has changed.

424
00:35:55.079 --> 00:35:57.880
<v Speaker 9>It is They're right, So we have to prepare for

425

00:38:24.719 --> 00:38:31.800
<v Speaker 9>auto production, including the world's greatest workforce, including globally recognized

452
00:38:31.840 --> 00:38:36.800
<v Speaker 9>parts suppliers and leading edge research and development. Will combine

453
00:38:36.880 --> 00:38:40.679
<v Speaker 9>these strengths with new battery supply chains that will power

454
00:38:40.800 --> 00:38:45.840
<v Speaker 9>the future of mobility, reinforced by Canada's IT expertise, world

455
00:38:45.960 --> 00:38:50.679
<v Speaker 9>leading AI and robotics technologies, to position Canada as a

456
00:38:50.760 --> 00:38:57.320
<v Speaker 9>global leader in vehicle electrification and autonomous technologies. In the

457
00:38:57.400 --> 00:39:01.760
<v Speaker 9>coming weeks, our government will unveil a new electricity strategy

458
00:39:02.239 --> 00:39:07.079
<v Speaker 9>to double I'll repeat, to double our grid capacity, to

459
00:39:07.199 --> 00:39:10.920
<v Speaker 9>modernize our infrastructure, and to deliver electricity that's more reliable,

460
00:39:11.239 --> 00:39:16.559
<v Speaker 9>more efficient, crucially more affordable for Canadians. This will enable

461
00:39:16.679 --> 00:39:20.480
<v Speaker 9>Canadians to adopt low carbon technologies such as electric vehicles,

462
00:39:20.800 --> 00:39:24.719
<v Speaker 9>while supporting the electrification and growth of our industries.

463
00:39:26.239 --> 00:39:27.159
<v Speaker 2>With our deep talent.

464
00:39:34.000 --> 00:39:38.239
<v Speaker 9>With our deep talent, our research strengths, our innovation ecosystem,

465
00:39:38.800 --> 00:39:41.880
<v Speaker 9>we can lead the development of the connected and autonomous

466
00:39:41.920 --> 00:39:46.639
<v Speaker 9>technologies that will shape the future of transportation. We will

467
00:39:46.719 --> 00:39:52.119
<v Speaker 9>prioritize diversification, including new opportunities that will be created by

468
00:39:52.239 --> 00:39:56.639
<v Speaker 9>Canada's defense industrial strategy to strengthen the industry and its

469
00:39:56.719 --> 00:40:01.079

483
00:41:06.039 --> 00:41:10.480
<v Speaker 9>in the vehicles of tomorrow, and we're positioning Canadian workers

484
00:41:10.559 --> 00:41:14.440
<v Speaker 9>and businesses to seize that opportunity. And that's why today

485
00:41:14.519 --> 00:41:18.039
<v Speaker 9>we're announcing a series of strategic investments that will shape

486
00:41:18.119 --> 00:41:22.119
<v Speaker 9>the future of mobility and advance manufacturing in Canada. As

487
00:41:22.199 --> 00:41:25.679
<v Speaker 9>part of a coordinated plan to build a stronger, more competitive,

488
00:41:25.719 --> 00:41:27.079
<v Speaker 9>more independent country.

489
00:41:28.760 --> 00:41:31.119
<v Speaker 2>Our strategy rests on five pillars.

490
00:41:32.039 --> 00:41:38.599
<v Speaker 9>First, accelerating investment in Canadian auto manufacturing. Second, rationalizing emission

491
00:41:38.639 --> 00:41:44.039
<v Speaker 9>reduction policies to focus on the outcomes that mattered to Canadians. Third,

492
00:41:45.159 --> 00:41:49.719
<v Speaker 9>strengthening domestic demand by making electric vehicles more affordable and

493
00:41:49.840 --> 00:41:56.320
<v Speaker 9>reliable for Canadians. Fourth, establishing a comprehensive trade regime that

494
00:41:56.440 --> 00:42:01.559
<v Speaker 9>strengthens the competitiveness of our auto sector. And fifth, protecting

495
00:42:01.679 --> 00:42:05.519
<v Speaker 9>Canadian auto workers from the immediate pressures while helping them

496
00:42:05.679 --> 00:42:06.920
<v Speaker 9>bridge to the future.

497
00:42:15.039 --> 00:42:16.920
<v Speaker 2>So let me get into a few of those details,

498
00:42:17.039 --> 00:42:18.000
<v Speaker 2>and I'll take questions.

499
00:42:19.119 --> 00:42:24.400
<v Speaker 9>First, we're accelerating investment across the auto value chain to

500
00:42:24.519 --> 00:42:29.400
<v Speaker 9>support strategic investments by our companies. We're dedicating three billion

501
00:42:29.440 --> 00:42:33.440
<v Speaker 9>dollars from the Strategic Response Fund and one hundred million

502
00:42:33.480 --> 00:42:37.360
<v Speaker 9>dollars from the Regional Tariff Response Initiative. This is capital

503
00:42:37.639 --> 00:42:41.119
<v Speaker 9>that will help our businesses respond to those trade disruptions,

504
00:42:41.599 --> 00:42:45.280
<v Speaker 9>help them pivot their operations, retool plans to increase productivity,

505
00:42:45.719 --> 00:42:50.880
<v Speaker 9>invest in advanced manufacturing, and expand into new markets. In

506
00:42:51.000 --> 00:42:53.960
<v Speaker 9>line with our Buy Canadian policy, the government will leverage

507
00:42:54.000 --> 00:42:58.400
<v Speaker 9>these investments to maximize opportunities for Canadian suppliers Canadian made

508
00:42:58.480 --> 00:43:03.440
<v Speaker 9>goods and services, including in steel and aluminum. We're also

509
00:43:03.559 --> 00:43:09.079
<v Speaker 9>implementing the most comprehensive investment incentives for the auto.

510
00:43:08.960 --> 00:43:12.719
<v Speaker 2>Value chain anywhere anywhere in the world.

511
00:43:18.880 --> 00:43:23.880
<v Speaker 9>The new productivity super deduction will reduce Canada's marginal effective

512
00:43:23.960 --> 00:43:28.119
<v Speaker 9>tax rate on investment to thirteen percent. That's more than

513
00:43:28.280 --> 00:43:33.239
<v Speaker 9>four percentage points lower than in the United States. That means,

514
00:43:39.280 --> 00:43:41.679
<v Speaker 9>and let me be clear, this is very broad. It

515
00:43:41.800 --> 00:43:45.559
<v Speaker 9>means businesses can immediately expense one hundred percent of their

516
00:43:45.639 --> 00:43:50.800
<v Speaker 9>investments in manufacturing machinery, in equipment, in buildings, in zero

517
00:43:50.840 --> 00:43:56.079
<v Speaker 9>emission vehicles, in clean energy equipment, in scientific research and development,

518
00:43:56.559 --> 00:44:01.079
<v Speaker 9>and productivity enhancing assets including patents, data and net network infrastructure,

519
00:44:01.360 --> 00:44:06.639
<v Speaker 9>computers and beyond. Further, in addition, because this is in

520
00:44:06.719 --> 00:44:11.880
<v Speaker 9>addition to accelerate investment across the low carbon mobility value chain,

521
00:44:12.320 --> 00:44:16.519
<v Speaker 9>we're implementing the Clean Electricity Investment tax Credit. We're expanding

522
00:44:16.599 --> 00:44:20.639
<v Speaker 9>the Clean Technology Manufacturing Investment tax Credit, and we're.

523
00:44:20.559 --> 00:44:23.159
<v Speaker 2>Including the wide range of critical minerals.

524
00:44:24.519 --> 00:44:27.840
<v Speaker 9>And we are reducing the tax rate for zero emission

525
00:44:28.000 --> 00:44:32.719
<v Speaker 9>technology manufacturers so they benefit from one half of the

526
00:44:32.800 --> 00:44:36.320
<v Speaker 9>normal corporate tax rate, and that is before these deductions.

527
00:44:37.159 --> 00:44:41.119
<v Speaker 9>Put simply, we're making Canada the best place to invest,

528
00:44:41.400 --> 00:44:43.960
<v Speaker 9>the best place to build, the best place to build clean.

529
00:44:51.920 --> 00:44:55.519
<v Speaker 9>Our second pillar is to adapt our mission reduction policies

530
00:44:55.599 --> 00:45:00.719
<v Speaker 9>to focus on outcomes. Canada will set a new, more

531
00:45:00.760 --> 00:45:06.519
<v Speaker 9>ambitious sovereign path to reduce automobile emissions. Will drive down

532
00:45:06.559 --> 00:45:10.760
<v Speaker 9>emissions by more than doubling the stringency of Canada's vehicle

533
00:45:10.960 --> 00:45:17.400
<v Speaker 9>GHD standards by twenty thirty five, achieving the equivalent emissions

534
00:45:17.440 --> 00:45:22.599
<v Speaker 9>reductions of a seventy five percent ev adoption rate. We

535
00:45:22.679 --> 00:45:26.960
<v Speaker 9>won't stop there by, Leveraging new investments in EV production,

536
00:45:27.280 --> 00:45:31.480
<v Speaker 9>consumer incentives, and charging infrastructure will work towards achieving the

537
00:45:31.559 --> 00:45:35.800
<v Speaker 9>equivalent of a ninety percent ev adoption rate by twenty forty.

538
00:45:37.559 --> 00:45:40.880
<v Speaker 9>The more stringent emission standards will enable the Government of

539
00:45:40.960 --> 00:45:47.840
<v Speaker 9>Canada to repeal the Electric Vehicle Accessibility Standard so called EVAs.

540
00:45:48.320 --> 00:45:53.440
<v Speaker 9>Replacing EVAs with those stronger vehicle emission standards focuses on

541
00:45:53.559 --> 00:45:57.960
<v Speaker 9>the results the matter to Canadians while avoid avoiding placing

542
00:45:58.159 --> 00:46:02.840
<v Speaker 9>undue burdens on the Canadian auto industry. This approach allows

543
00:46:02.960 --> 00:46:06.440
<v Speaker 9>manufacturers to use a wide range of technologies to meet

544
00:46:06.519 --> 00:46:09.679
<v Speaker 9>the standards and to respond to consumer preferences in the

545
00:46:09.760 --> 00:46:10.440
<v Speaker 9>near term.

546
00:46:10.800 --> 00:46:13.480
<v Speaker 2>All while driving ev adoption over time.

547
00:46:15.599 --> 00:46:19.000
<v Speaker 9>The third way we will transform our auto sector is

548
00:46:19.079 --> 00:46:20.920
<v Speaker 9>becoming by becoming our.

00:47:17.440 --> 00:47:21.079
<v Speaker 9>We can buy what we build and so the government

560
00:47:27.320 --> 00:47:30.239
<v Speaker 9>and that's why our government is launching a new two

561
00:47:30.320 --> 00:47:35.679
<v Speaker 9>point three billion dollars electric vehicle affordability program. Canadians who

562
00:47:35.760 --> 00:47:39.679
<v Speaker 9>purchase or lease a battery electric or fuel cell electric

563
00:47:39.760 --> 00:47:43.239
<v Speaker 9>vehicle will receive up to five thousand dollars and up

564
00:47:43.280 --> 00:47:46.119
<v Speaker 9>to two thousand, five hundred dollars for plug in hybrids

565
00:47:46.480 --> 00:47:50.960
<v Speaker 9>priced up to fifty thousand dollars to support the Canadian

566
00:47:51.000 --> 00:47:54.039
<v Speaker 9>auto industry. This fifty thousand dollars cap will.

567
00:47:53.920 --> 00:47:57.280
<v Speaker 2>Not apply to Canadian made evs or Canadian.

568
00:47:56.880 --> 00:48:00.960
<v Speaker 9>Made plug in hybrids, and those incentives will only apply

569
00:48:01.079 --> 00:48:04.559
<v Speaker 9>to vehicles produced in countries with whom Canada has a

570
00:48:04.679 --> 00:48:13.679
<v Speaker 9>free trade agreement. We're also going to make it easier

571
00:48:13.840 --> 00:48:17.639
<v Speaker 9>and more convenient for Canadians to charge your evs, because

572
00:48:17.679 --> 00:48:20.719
<v Speaker 9>too many Canadians worry about being able to reliably get

573
00:48:20.840 --> 00:48:25.079
<v Speaker 9>charging on journeys, especially in rural and northern communities. To

574
00:48:25.079 --> 00:48:29.320
<v Speaker 9>help fix that, we're developing a new national charging infrastructure,

575
00:48:30.039 --> 00:48:34.280
<v Speaker 9>a new strategy one point five billion of investment through

576
00:48:34.400 --> 00:48:38.000
<v Speaker 9>the Canadian Infrastructure Bank, So wherever you live in Canada,

577
00:48:38.559 --> 00:48:42.760
<v Speaker 9>charging your vehicle should become as simple as filling your

578
00:48:42.840 --> 00:48:48.360
<v Speaker 9>gas tank. The fourth pillar of our strategy is to

579
00:48:48.559 --> 00:48:53.880
<v Speaker 9>establish a comprehensive trade regime that strengthens the global competitiveness

580
00:48:54.320 --> 00:48:59.599
<v Speaker 9>of our auto sector. Again, to be clear, Canada continues

581
00:48:59.639 --> 00:49:02.719
<v Speaker 9>to face a zero terraf regime with the United States

582
00:49:02.760 --> 00:49:06.400
<v Speaker 9>and autos because we know that will deliver the strongest

583
00:49:06.480 --> 00:49:10.840
<v Speaker 9>North American auto industry, but if the US, through the

584
00:49:10.920 --> 00:49:14.960
<v Speaker 9>Cosmo Review, insists on some form of auto tariffs, will

585
00:49:15.159 --> 00:49:20.119
<v Speaker 9>ensure that companies that sell vehicles in Canada are strongly

586
00:49:20.199 --> 00:49:31.199
<v Speaker 9>incentivized to produce in Canada. And to support this objective,

587
00:49:31.960 --> 00:49:37.000
<v Speaker 9>we will explore strengthening our automotive remissions framework through a

588
00:49:37.079 --> 00:49:41.840
<v Speaker 9>tradable credit system that would reward companies that produce and

589
00:49:42.000 --> 00:49:46.920
<v Speaker 9>invest in Canada. In short, companies that manufacture and invest

590
00:49:47.119 --> 00:49:52.480
<v Speaker 9>here would earn credits, while companies seeking to sell vehicles

591
00:49:52.559 --> 00:49:56.679
<v Speaker 9>in Canada without paying tariffs would be required to purchase

592
00:49:57.159 --> 00:50:08.159
<v Speaker 9>those credits for exploite plan let the same as the

602
00:50:58.320 --> 00:51:00.199
<v Speaker 9>so helped provide Canadians.

603
00:50:59.679 --> 00:51:02.599
<v Speaker 2>With more affordable, energy efficient options.

604
00:51:03.440 --> 00:51:06.559
<v Speaker 9>At the same time, we expect this agreement to catalyze

605
00:51:06.639 --> 00:51:11.599
<v Speaker 9>considerable joint venture investment in Canada with trusted Canadian partners

606
00:51:12.000 --> 00:51:15.960
<v Speaker 9>to create new auto manufacturing jobs and strengthen the buildout

607
00:51:16.000 --> 00:51:21.920
<v Speaker 9>of our ev supply chain. Finally, as we transform our

608
00:51:22.000 --> 00:51:25.440
<v Speaker 9>auto sector into a global leader in electric vehicles, we're

609
00:51:25.559 --> 00:51:30.079
<v Speaker 9>working to protect workers and businesses today so they can

610
00:51:30.159 --> 00:51:34.400
<v Speaker 9>bridge to the economy of tomorrow. We're providing additional income

611
00:51:34.480 --> 00:51:38.199
<v Speaker 9>support to workers and to employers through a new work

612
00:51:38.280 --> 00:51:42.320
<v Speaker 9>sharing grant, giving them the flexibility that employers need to

613
00:51:42.400 --> 00:51:44.320
<v Speaker 9>retain workers and prevent layoffs.

614
00:51:45.280 --> 00:51:46.719
<v Speaker 2>This has already helped.

615
00:51:46.920 --> 00:51:49.760
<v Speaker 9>Prevent more than three thousand, seven hundred layoffs in the

616
00:51:49.760 --> 00:51:54.360
<v Speaker 9>auto sector alone. We're also establishing a new Workforce Alliance,

617
00:51:54.760 --> 00:51:59.440
<v Speaker 9>bringing together industry labor training partners to address skilled gaps,

618
00:51:59.679 --> 00:52:00.960
<v Speaker 9>remove bottlenecks, and.

619
00:52:01.000 --> 00:52:02.400
<v Speaker 2>Catalyze private investment.

620
00:52:03.840 --> 00:52:07.480
<v Speaker 9>We're launching the Automotive Task Force to drive ordinated action

<v Speaker 9>the cars of the future. We're breaking down barriers and

623
00:52:14.920 --> 00:52:20.679

629
00:52:59.519 --> 00:53:05.239
<v Speaker 9>when Henry Seth Taylor built Canada's first car, he could

630
00:53:05.320 --> 00:53:09.719
<v Speaker 9>not have imagined what this industry would become. The Canadian

631
00:53:09.880 --> 00:53:15.639
<v Speaker 9>automakers would assemble the world's first affordable car, the Ford Model.

632
00:53:15.679 --> 00:53:21.760
<v Speaker 9>T that Canadian automakers would scale up production rapidly to

633
00:53:21.880 --> 00:53:24.880
<v Speaker 9>become the second largest producer of cars in the world

634
00:53:24.920 --> 00:53:28.480
<v Speaker 9>by the end of the First World War. That in

635
00:53:28.559 --> 00:53:33.000
<v Speaker 9>World War Two, the industry would quickly shift almost entirely

636
00:53:33.119 --> 00:53:37.239
<v Speaker 9>to military production, producing more than eight hundred thousand military

637
00:53:37.320 --> 00:53:41.280
<v Speaker 9>transport vehicles and fifty thousand tanks to help win that war.

638
00:53:42.800 --> 00:53:46.760
<v Speaker 9>These feats were the results of Canadian determination and ingenuity.

639
00:53:47.440 --> 00:53:50.320
<v Speaker 9>They were the product of an industry that adapted, pivoted,

640
00:53:50.719 --> 00:53:56.320
<v Speaker 9>and when necessary transformed. That's what we must now do

641
00:53:56.880 --> 00:54:03.239
<v Speaker 9>to build the vehicles of the future, Autonomous, more reliable,

642
00:54:03.679 --> 00:54:10.559
<v Speaker 9>more affordable vehicles for stronger, more resilient, more independent Canadian

643
00:54:10.639 --> 00:54:13.960
<v Speaker 9>economy that creates great jobs here at home.

644
00:54:14.719 --> 00:54:17.760
<v Speaker 2>That is what we are building together. That is a

645
00:54:17.840 --> 00:54:20.719
<v Speaker 2>confident in Canada. That is Canada strong.

646
00:54:20.960 --> 00:54:25.599
<v Speaker 10>Thank you very much, Messaga, Thank you, Prime Minister. Miss

00:54:29.880 --> 00:54:31.800
<v Speaker 10>First question, should good.

650
00:54:31.679 --> 00:54:34.079
<v Speaker 4>Morning, Prime Minister? You should I lease Bloomberg News.

651
00:54:35.079 --> 00:54:37.840
<v Speaker 11>Three quarters of Canada's auto production right now is from

652
00:54:37.920 --> 00:54:41.679
<v Speaker 11>Japanese firms, and you've made efforts recently to attract investment

653
00:54:41.760 --> 00:54:45.039
<v Speaker 11>from Korea from China. So does the future of the

654
00:54:45.119 --> 00:54:48.000
<v Speaker 11>auto sector lie with Asia and not the United States?

655
00:54:48.440 --> 00:54:51.159
<v Speaker 11>And have you lost faith in the Detroit automakers to

656
00:54:51.239 --> 00:54:52.119
<v Speaker 11>build in Canada.

657
00:54:52.960 --> 00:54:53.440
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely.

658
00:54:54.199 --> 00:54:57.440
<v Speaker 9>One of the great things about the Canadian auto sector

659
00:54:57.599 --> 00:55:01.679
<v Speaker 9>is its diversity. We have a wide partners You're absolutely

660
00:55:01.800 --> 00:55:07.840
<v Speaker 9>right that Japanese producers are the account for roughly three

661
00:55:07.960 --> 00:55:12.239
<v Speaker 9>quarters of the production here. They're major players. We have

662
00:55:12.400 --> 00:55:15.679
<v Speaker 9>integrated supply chains across North America. In fact, more broadly,

663
00:55:16.480 --> 00:55:21.679
<v Speaker 9>companies like Martin Ria, We are in active discussions with

664
00:55:22.280 --> 00:55:27.159
<v Speaker 9>a range of potential new investors from a broader range

665
00:55:27.199 --> 00:55:30.679
<v Speaker 9>of countries. Korea would be one example in the Canadian

666
00:55:30.719 --> 00:55:34.199
<v Speaker 9>auto sector for Canadian production, and we are working with

667
00:55:35.559 --> 00:55:40.400
<v Speaker 9>the Detroit Three, the major American auto makers, on retooling

668
00:55:40.480 --> 00:55:46.000
<v Speaker 9>some of their plans, expanding activity here and integrating there. Importantly,

669
00:55:47.199 --> 00:55:51.079
<v Speaker 9>the effectiveness of the work with the US auto makers

670
00:55:51.480 --> 00:55:55.760
<v Speaker 9>will be impacted by the results of the Kuzman negotiations.

671
00:55:57.280 --> 00:56:03.239
<v Speaker 9>We have a strong view that the most effective, strongest, resilient, competitive,

672
00:56:03.480 --> 00:56:08.000
<v Speaker 9>affordable auto sector in North America is one where vehicles

673
00:56:08.159 --> 00:56:11.239
<v Speaker 9>and parts continue to move across our borders tariff free.

674
00:56:11.960 --> 00:56:16.519
<v Speaker 9>That view is shared by the Detroit automakers as well,

675
00:56:16.559 --> 00:56:19.039
<v Speaker 9>and we'll be working hard in order to accomplish that.

676
00:56:20.039 --> 00:56:21.840
<v Speaker 9>If that is not the case, we're putting it in

677
00:56:21.920 --> 00:56:26.360
<v Speaker 9>place a series of measures for production in Canada, for Canadians.

678
00:56:25.960 --> 00:56:27.039
<v Speaker 2>For export to the world.

679
00:56:29.360 --> 00:56:31.840
<v Speaker 11>You said removing auto tariffs is not the quote current

680
00:56:31.920 --> 00:56:34.800
<v Speaker 11>objective of the US administration. I know that you said

681
00:56:34.800 --> 00:56:37.679
<v Speaker 11>that Canada prefers there to be no tariffs, But do

682
00:56:37.800 --> 00:56:40.079
<v Speaker 11>you think that tariffs on the auto sector will be

683
00:56:40.159 --> 00:56:42.280
<v Speaker 11>here in place for the long term, at least through

684
00:56:42.320 --> 00:56:43.679
<v Speaker 11>the Trump administration's term.

685
00:56:44.960 --> 00:56:50.119
<v Speaker 9>Look, it's a review of the agreement. Under the current

686
00:56:50.159 --> 00:56:53.880
<v Speaker 9>COSMO agreement is not consistent with having auto tariffs that

687
00:56:54.000 --> 00:56:59.480
<v Speaker 9>there are in place, we have matching counter tariffs. I

688
00:56:59.519 --> 00:57:03.360
<v Speaker 9>think it's from the lesson of what's been happening over

689
00:57:03.400 --> 00:57:06.840
<v Speaker 9>the course of the last year that the previous arrangements

690
00:57:07.239 --> 00:57:11.400
<v Speaker 9>were more effective and we're going to work hard to

691
00:57:11.719 --> 00:57:15.760
<v Speaker 9>move back towards that, as is the Mexican government, as

692
00:57:16.280 --> 00:57:20.119
<v Speaker 9>I think I can speak for the auto sector as

693
00:57:20.159 --> 00:57:24.400
<v Speaker 9>a whole, has given extensive consultations. That's what the auto

694
00:57:24.480 --> 00:57:28.440
<v Speaker 9>sector thinks is in the best interests as well. That said,

695
00:57:29.199 --> 00:57:34.119
<v Speaker 9>what we're doing today is robust to whatever tariff outcome happens.

696
00:57:34.199 --> 00:57:34.840
<v Speaker 2>In that review.

697
00:57:36.400 --> 00:57:39.960
<v Speaker 9>The scale of the investment through the Strategic Response Fund

698
00:57:40.000 --> 00:57:45.599
<v Speaker 9>supports through those series of tax measures, support providing a

699
00:57:45.679 --> 00:57:49.679
<v Speaker 9>better charging infrastructure for Canadians, incentives for Canadians to develop

700
00:57:50.760 --> 00:57:56.679
<v Speaker 9>to buy electric vehicles, as well as the entire developing

701
00:57:56.719 --> 00:58:00.920
<v Speaker 9>the entire supply chain from critical minerals through the batteries

702
00:58:01.320 --> 00:58:06.199
<v Speaker 9>all the way through the final vehicle assembly, including the

703
00:58:06.320 --> 00:58:08.480
<v Speaker 9>it components, the robotics.

704
00:58:08.039 --> 00:58:09.000
<v Speaker 2>And the AI components.

705
00:58:09.039 --> 00:58:13.559
<v Speaker 9>Event all of that is in the interests of a

706
00:58:13.760 --> 00:58:18.119
<v Speaker 9>highly highly competitive Canadian auto sector, irrespective of the outcome

707
00:58:18.559 --> 00:58:20.519
<v Speaker 9>of those tariff discussions with the United States.

708
00:58:20.719 --> 00:58:20.960
<v Speaker 2>Thank you.

709
00:58:21.320 --> 00:58:22.639
<v Speaker 10>An next question push on Kisoon.

710
00:58:23.719 --> 00:58:27.119
<v Speaker 12>Good morning, Prime Minister Nichia Patel, CBC News. Along with

711
00:58:27.280 --> 00:58:30.440
<v Speaker 12>cutting the ev mandate, you've cut the consumer carbon tax,

712
00:58:30.880 --> 00:58:33.639
<v Speaker 12>weakened a commitment to the oil and gas emissions cap,

713
00:58:34.320 --> 00:58:38.280
<v Speaker 12>You're exempting Alberta from clean out energy regulations, and abandon

714
00:58:38.320 --> 00:58:41.920
<v Speaker 12>a promise to plant two billion trees. Do you still

715
00:58:42.000 --> 00:58:44.360
<v Speaker 12>consider yourself a leader on climate change?

716
00:58:45.400 --> 00:58:45.960
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely?

717
00:58:46.679 --> 00:58:49.840
<v Speaker 9>I consider Canada leader on climate change and on focusing

718
00:58:49.920 --> 00:58:53.159
<v Speaker 9>on climate change results and solutions. So let me enumerate

719
00:58:53.639 --> 00:58:55.800
<v Speaker 9>what we're doing, and there is more to come. Minister

720
00:58:55.880 --> 00:58:59.880
<v Speaker 9>de Bruson is here and working closely with the Minister

721
00:59:00.079 --> 00:59:05.079
<v Speaker 9>and responsibilities is Environment and Climate Change, Minister of Industry. Myself,

722
00:59:05.239 --> 00:59:08.920
<v Speaker 9>a host of industries are developing our climate change strategy,

723
00:59:08.960 --> 00:59:11.800
<v Speaker 9>which will come out shortly. But let's be clear what

724
00:59:11.960 --> 00:59:14.519
<v Speaker 9>we're doing, and I'm going to start with what we're

725
00:59:14.760 --> 00:59:20.159
<v Speaker 9>talking about today. First is establishing through a huge range

726
00:59:20.239 --> 00:59:25.159
<v Speaker 9>of direct supports and tax incentives for the entire clean

727
00:59:26.000 --> 00:59:30.679
<v Speaker 9>vehicle production chain value change from critical mineral development, processing,

728
00:59:31.119 --> 00:59:36.760
<v Speaker 9>battery infrastructure, through to tax incentives for clean manufacturing and

729
00:59:36.880 --> 00:59:40.199
<v Speaker 9>the manufacturing of low emission and EV vehicles.

730
00:59:40.280 --> 00:59:43.000
<v Speaker 2>So all of that in place the most.

731
00:59:42.880 --> 00:59:48.079
<v Speaker 9>Competitive investment regime by a mile for the auto sector,

732
00:59:48.119 --> 00:59:51.719
<v Speaker 9>in particularly for clean So that's one. Number Two incentives

733
00:59:51.800 --> 00:59:54.920
<v Speaker 9>for consumers to adopt vs being put back in place.

734
00:59:55.360 --> 00:59:59.119
<v Speaker 9>Number three and a focus on the results in terms

735
00:59:59.159 --> 01:00:01.360
<v Speaker 9>of the trends, position path of the industry.

736
01:00:01.599 --> 01:00:03.519
<v Speaker 2>So we want emissions down, we're double it.

737
01:00:03.559 --> 01:00:11.119
<v Speaker 9>We're tightening by twofold our GHD emissions standards, and we're

738
01:00:11.199 --> 01:00:15.360
<v Speaker 9>giving the industry the flexibility how they achieve that, whether through.

739
01:00:15.239 --> 01:00:19.519
<v Speaker 2>Plug in hybrids, evs, more efficient ice vehicles.

740
01:00:20.199 --> 01:00:23.800
<v Speaker 9>There are multiple paths on this part as we ramp

741
01:00:23.920 --> 01:00:27.239
<v Speaker 9>up our clean energy side. In addition, and I'm not

742
01:00:27.280 --> 01:00:30.199
<v Speaker 9>going to make this too much longer, in addition, I

743
01:00:30.280 --> 01:00:32.559
<v Speaker 9>alluded to this, I said it, and you will see

744
01:00:32.599 --> 01:00:36.440
<v Speaker 9>it shortly. We are putting in place an electricity strategy,

745
01:00:36.559 --> 01:00:39.400
<v Speaker 9>a good conversation with the provinces around this to double

746
01:00:39.519 --> 01:00:42.639
<v Speaker 9>the scale of our grid in this country, which is

747
01:00:42.719 --> 01:00:49.400
<v Speaker 9>a clean grid. Finally, with respect to Alberta and conventional

748
01:00:49.559 --> 01:00:50.639
<v Speaker 9>energy exports.

749
01:00:51.440 --> 01:00:54.599
<v Speaker 2>The L and G exports from that are coming.

750
01:00:54.840 --> 01:00:58.559
<v Speaker 9>Actual and perspective out of Vancouver are top quartile or

01:00:59.039 --> 01:01:05.039
<v Speaker 9>top death style lowest emission LERG the oil. If we

752
01:01:05.159 --> 01:01:08.480
<v Speaker 9>have an oil pipeline, which we're working towards achieving UH

753
01:01:08.920 --> 01:01:11.920
<v Speaker 9>to the West coast, it will be twinned with the

754
01:01:12.000 --> 01:01:13.039
<v Speaker 9>Pathways project, the.

755
01:01:13.079 --> 01:01:15.519
<v Speaker 2>Largest carbon capture and storage project in the world.

756
01:01:15.840 --> 01:01:19.039
<v Speaker 9>Not just making sure that that's low emission oil and

757
01:01:19.159 --> 01:01:21.719
<v Speaker 9>gas in the production and transportation of oil and gas,

758
01:01:21.880 --> 01:01:23.960
<v Speaker 9>but they were creating an entirely new industry.

759
01:01:24.400 --> 01:01:26.960
<v Speaker 2>So the point is we are focused.

760
01:01:27.039 --> 01:01:31.880
<v Speaker 9>We are dead focused on results, getting emissions down, making

761
01:01:31.960 --> 01:01:35.280
<v Speaker 9>the major investments that we need to get investments, emissions down,

762
01:01:35.639 --> 01:01:38.519
<v Speaker 9>and in the process creating more jaws for Canadians and

763
01:01:38.599 --> 01:01:40.440
<v Speaker 9>a better future for our economy.

<v Speaker 2>Nail will not be yes? Okay?

778
01:03:03.320 --> 01:03:07.480
<v Speaker 12>One quick one was this new greenhouse gas emissions standard

779
01:03:07.559 --> 01:03:10.840
<v Speaker 12>system modeled with the impact it would have on the environment,

780
01:03:11.079 --> 01:03:15.400
<v Speaker 12>And if it hadn't been, did it roll?

781
01:03:16.719 --> 01:03:18.840
<v Speaker 2>No? No, it was modeled with it. So I'll give

782
01:03:18.880 --> 01:03:23.320
<v Speaker 2>you a sense. We are doubling one, doubling well, doubling

783
01:03:23.679 --> 01:03:27.039
<v Speaker 2>on effect these standards. So we're moving from.

784
01:03:29.599 --> 01:03:33.400
<v Speaker 9>On the greenhouse gas base is one hundred and seventy

785
01:03:33.440 --> 01:03:36.079
<v Speaker 9>one hundred and seventy two grams per one hundred and

786
01:03:36.079 --> 01:03:41.599
<v Speaker 9>seventy two okay, confirmed grams per mile of driving to

787
01:03:42.360 --> 01:03:45.960
<v Speaker 9>about seventy four grams per mile Okay. So it's a

788
01:03:46.079 --> 01:03:50.960
<v Speaker 9>fifty seven percent reduction in the emissions over the as

789
01:03:51.320 --> 01:03:53.800
<v Speaker 9>this ramps up for the vehicles in the country.

790
01:03:53.840 --> 01:03:55.519
<v Speaker 2>So we look exactly at.

791
01:03:55.440 --> 01:03:59.000
<v Speaker 9>That and what it does is it gives during a

792
01:03:59.079 --> 01:04:03.239
<v Speaker 9>transition per it gives greater flexibility for the industry in

793
01:04:03.360 --> 01:04:06.760
<v Speaker 9>terms of how they meet those reductions across those their fleets.

794
01:04:07.679 --> 01:04:14.800
<v Speaker 9>All the while where we are very clearly incentivizing investment

795
01:04:15.079 --> 01:04:20.239
<v Speaker 9>in low zero emission vehicle supply chain. So I won't

796
01:04:20.280 --> 01:04:22.679
<v Speaker 9>list all the tax credits. Again, I won't list all

797
01:04:22.719 --> 01:04:25.199
<v Speaker 9>the measures that are there, but it's very including the

798
01:04:25.280 --> 01:04:28.480
<v Speaker 9>charging infrastructure others. Because we know where the auto industry

799
01:04:28.559 --> 01:04:31.280
<v Speaker 9>is headed, we're going to support that transition, but we're

800
01:04:31.360 --> 01:04:32.800
<v Speaker 9>reducing emissions while we get there.

801
01:04:32.840 --> 01:04:33.079
<v Speaker 2>Thank you.

802
01:04:33.320 --> 01:04:36.880
<v Speaker 13>Next question, question Kissam Checker with Turkish voice of Canada

803
01:04:37.199 --> 01:04:40.960
<v Speaker 13>Prime Minister. Your ambitious in building Canada is strong. However,

804
01:04:41.320 --> 01:04:45.480
<v Speaker 13>a weak growth in production and productivity is already a

805
01:04:45.639 --> 01:04:49.599
<v Speaker 13>key driver of growing out flow of labor force, talents

806
01:04:49.639 --> 01:04:52.800
<v Speaker 13>and wealth from Canada. How do you assist this exodus?

807
01:04:53.039 --> 01:04:55.960
<v Speaker 13>Are you concerned? What measures are you considering to address it?

808
01:04:57.000 --> 01:04:58.320
<v Speaker 2>Well, there's a number of measures.

809
01:04:59.159 --> 01:05:01.480
<v Speaker 9>First, I I'm not sure I recognize part of your

810
01:05:01.559 --> 01:05:04.159
<v Speaker 9>premise about the exodus, but let me get to the

811
01:05:04.239 --> 01:05:07.239
<v Speaker 9>core point, which is, and you're absolutely right in the

812
01:05:08.719 --> 01:05:11.119
<v Speaker 9>core issue for our country is to get productivity out

813
01:05:12.320 --> 01:05:13.800
<v Speaker 9>and there's nowhere more important.

814
01:05:13.840 --> 01:05:14.800
<v Speaker 2>This is I'm in a sector.

815
01:05:14.840 --> 01:05:19.320
<v Speaker 9>We're literally in a sector that is constantly improving productivity,

816
01:05:20.199 --> 01:05:22.519
<v Speaker 9>and now we see an opportunity for a step change

817
01:05:22.599 --> 01:05:25.719
<v Speaker 9>in productivity and market share. Quite frankly for the Canadian

818
01:05:26.280 --> 01:05:28.880
<v Speaker 9>auto sector, all aspects of the auto sector that will

819
01:05:29.000 --> 01:05:33.199
<v Speaker 9>require large investment, and so so much of what we're

820
01:05:33.239 --> 01:05:35.880
<v Speaker 9>doing today some of its consumer incentive, but the large

821
01:05:35.960 --> 01:05:38.960
<v Speaker 9>amount of what we're doing today is to drive very

822
01:05:39.079 --> 01:05:42.519
<v Speaker 9>large investment here in Canada. Everything from the three billion

823
01:05:42.559 --> 01:05:45.960
<v Speaker 9>dollars in the Strategic Response Fund to those tax incentives

824
01:05:46.400 --> 01:05:49.280
<v Speaker 9>and beyond that will help drive productivity.

825
01:05:49.280 --> 01:05:50.360
<v Speaker 2>And I'm just going to link it back.

826
01:05:50.400 --> 01:05:52.960
<v Speaker 9>I'll head it back to you to the general question

827
01:05:53.159 --> 01:05:57.480
<v Speaker 9>on the questions on the environment and mission reduction. This

828
01:05:57.639 --> 01:06:02.320
<v Speaker 9>government has a very strong view that lower emissions will

829
01:06:02.400 --> 01:06:06.119
<v Speaker 9>be one of the drivers of competitiveness in the auto sector,

830
01:06:06.599 --> 01:06:09.679
<v Speaker 9>in the manufacturing sector, in the energy sector. More broadly,

831
01:06:10.760 --> 01:06:15.159
<v Speaker 9>that process of moving towards lower emissions will help drive productivity.

832
01:06:15.480 --> 01:06:19.440
<v Speaker 9>So there's a congruence of what we're doing on emissions

833
01:06:19.880 --> 01:06:23.480
<v Speaker 9>getting those results and productivity and growth and jobs for

834
01:06:23.559 --> 01:06:24.119
<v Speaker 9>the economy.

835
01:06:24.360 --> 01:06:28.039
<v Speaker 13>Oh, we question in the global shifting of balance of powers.

836
01:06:28.320 --> 01:06:31.559
<v Speaker 13>Canada is turning towards middle powers, as I said in Dallas,

837
01:06:31.679 --> 01:06:36.000
<v Speaker 13>for diversification. Do you see Turkey a specific country, a

838
01:06:36.119 --> 01:06:40.719
<v Speaker 13>crucial NATO ally is a middle power which shared common

839
01:06:40.800 --> 01:06:44.039
<v Speaker 13>ground for a new partnership. How do you assess potential cooperation,

840
01:06:44.239 --> 01:06:46.440
<v Speaker 13>especially in defense and nuclear energy?

841
01:06:47.679 --> 01:06:51.280
<v Speaker 9>Thank you for your question. The first let me reinforce

842
01:06:51.320 --> 01:06:55.239
<v Speaker 9>a few things in it. One is Turkey is a

843
01:06:55.400 --> 01:07:00.320
<v Speaker 9>vital partner in NATO, a vital partner in a very

844
01:07:00.960 --> 01:07:04.239
<v Speaker 9>important and sometimes challenging part of the world.

845
01:07:04.760 --> 01:07:04.880
<v Speaker 14>UH.

846
01:07:05.679 --> 01:07:10.639
<v Speaker 2>In addition, UH, there is a tremendous opportunity and am

847
01:07:11.039 --> 01:07:15.039
<v Speaker 2>uh Sema is here, uh madame A Khan is here.

848
01:07:15.360 --> 01:07:15.480
<v Speaker 7>UH.

849
01:07:15.840 --> 01:07:20.039
<v Speaker 9>And we have a series of opportunities to deepen our

850
01:07:20.320 --> 01:07:25.559
<v Speaker 9>commercial relationships with Turkey. I've begun those conversations with President

851
01:07:25.719 --> 01:07:28.679
<v Speaker 9>Erduwan UH in New York and UH and we intend

852
01:07:28.800 --> 01:07:32.039
<v Speaker 9>to We intend to follow up that can include aspects

853
01:07:32.239 --> 01:07:35.800
<v Speaker 9>of defense cooperation and UH and nuclear cooperation.

854
01:07:35.480 --> 01:07:38.119
<v Speaker 2>As you suggest, but it spreads much more broadly.

855
01:07:38.320 --> 01:07:42.199
<v Speaker 9>I'll just make the observation that since we're here, UH,

856
01:07:42.639 --> 01:07:46.360
<v Speaker 9>Turkey is is is one of the leaders in manufacturing

857
01:07:46.440 --> 01:07:49.840
<v Speaker 9>globally and including advanced manufacturing, and there's areas where we

858
01:07:49.880 --> 01:07:51.960
<v Speaker 9>can we can partner without question.

859
01:07:52.159 --> 01:07:54.000
<v Speaker 10>Next questions.

860
01:07:55.440 --> 01:07:57.760
<v Speaker 15>Good voting Prime Minition Colin Demela from Global News. So

861
01:07:57.880 --> 01:07:59.960
<v Speaker 15>the purchase incentives, as you mentioned, only apply to cut

862
01:08:00.280 --> 01:08:02.480
<v Speaker 15>with a free trade agreement. Can you confirm that the

863
01:08:02.519 --> 01:08:06.800
<v Speaker 15>forty nine thousand evs imported from China, those will not

864
01:08:07.079 --> 01:08:10.079
<v Speaker 15>be eligible for the remain for the rebate? And isn't

865
01:08:10.119 --> 01:08:14.079
<v Speaker 15>your expectation that provinces should match the federal incentive.

866
01:08:14.719 --> 01:08:18.319
<v Speaker 9>First, the answer your first question is that is correct.

867
01:08:18.399 --> 01:08:20.880
<v Speaker 9>They will not apply to the Chinese vehicles. It's not

868
01:08:21.000 --> 01:08:25.239
<v Speaker 9>something we discussed with the Chinese arrangement. I will remind

869
01:08:25.359 --> 01:08:30.720
<v Speaker 9>that under the agreement with China that forty nine thousand vehicles,

870
01:08:30.840 --> 01:08:34.319
<v Speaker 9>very quickly they get to a position where half of

871
01:08:34.399 --> 01:08:38.079
<v Speaker 9>those vehicles are priced at thirty five thousand or less.

872
01:08:38.199 --> 01:08:42.159
<v Speaker 2>So you know the incentive. The incentive is in the price,

873
01:08:42.520 --> 01:08:44.560
<v Speaker 2>if you will. That's first point.

874
01:08:44.680 --> 01:08:46.840
<v Speaker 9>And then the second part of your with the provinces,

875
01:08:47.880 --> 01:08:51.399
<v Speaker 9>we haven't discussed that specific aspect with the provinces. I'll

876
01:08:51.479 --> 01:08:54.079
<v Speaker 9>leave it to the provinces to make those decisions. I

877
01:08:54.199 --> 01:08:58.680
<v Speaker 9>will say, Minister Jolies help lead this. We have been

878
01:08:59.359 --> 01:09:02.720
<v Speaker 9>as you would back, in very close constant discussions with

879
01:09:02.840 --> 01:09:06.319
<v Speaker 9>the Province of Ontario. Many examples of that, including the

880
01:09:06.359 --> 01:09:08.399
<v Speaker 9>auto strategy. Premier Ford and I have had a number

881
01:09:08.439 --> 01:09:14.439
<v Speaker 9>of conversations about this package and it's consistent. Obviously Premier

882
01:09:14.439 --> 01:09:18.359
<v Speaker 9>will speak for himself, but we are aligned both in

883
01:09:18.439 --> 01:09:22.199
<v Speaker 9>the fundamental importance of this industry and the direction of

884
01:09:22.239 --> 01:09:24.439
<v Speaker 9>the measures we're taking to build it even stronger.

885
01:09:24.720 --> 01:09:25.359
<v Speaker 2>Okay, thank you.

886
01:09:25.920 --> 01:09:28.000
<v Speaker 15>The US President has obviously said that he wants to

887
01:09:28.039 --> 01:09:30.600
<v Speaker 15>move auto assembly to the United States, while Canada can

888
01:09:30.640 --> 01:09:33.560
<v Speaker 15>continue to focus on parts. Your announcement today, if a

889
01:09:33.640 --> 01:09:37.359
<v Speaker 15>tradable credit system seems to suggest that you are acutely

890
01:09:37.479 --> 01:09:41.520
<v Speaker 15>concerned about the future of that sector, can Canada realistically

891
01:09:41.600 --> 01:09:44.640
<v Speaker 15>come away from the Cosma review with the domestic auto

892
01:09:44.720 --> 01:09:46.960
<v Speaker 15>assembly fully intact as it is today?

893
01:09:47.199 --> 01:09:52.399
<v Speaker 9>Well, look, in an industry is dynamic, is autos, It's

894
01:09:52.479 --> 01:09:57.319
<v Speaker 9>constantly being reinvented. There's changes, There's always changes in market

895
01:09:57.399 --> 01:10:02.199
<v Speaker 9>share and investment and competitive and that's why that's the

896
01:10:02.479 --> 01:10:07.760
<v Speaker 9>best companies adapt first thing. Secondly, as I say, our

897
01:10:07.880 --> 01:10:11.600
<v Speaker 9>view is a zero TERRAF regime is the best solution

898
01:10:11.800 --> 01:10:14.199
<v Speaker 9>for the United States very much for Canada. We work

899
01:10:14.239 --> 01:10:16.039
<v Speaker 9>for Canada, but it's also the best solution for the

900
01:10:16.159 --> 01:10:19.920
<v Speaker 9>United States. Uh in Mexico, we'll work hard for that.

901
01:10:20.880 --> 01:10:24.560
<v Speaker 9>You're right, the President has made that. Uh, that's his

902
01:10:24.720 --> 01:10:30.640
<v Speaker 9>current view and preference. In that event, we will. We're

903
01:10:30.720 --> 01:10:34.760
<v Speaker 9>looking at this credible, tradable credit system that will further

904
01:10:34.840 --> 01:10:38.600
<v Speaker 9>incentivize production here, which is the right thing to do

905
01:10:38.760 --> 01:10:42.039
<v Speaker 9>in that in that world, but also the very large

906
01:10:42.119 --> 01:10:45.119

907

917
01:11:40.920 --> 01:11:44.600
<v Speaker 16>Prime Minister Barbara with politics. Premier Ford is not here

918
01:11:44.760 --> 01:11:47.479
<v Speaker 16>with you today. Does that does that mean that he

919
01:11:47.600 --> 01:11:49.000
<v Speaker 16>doesn't support the strategy?

920
01:11:50.239 --> 01:11:52.039
<v Speaker 2>Right? Well, the Premier will speak for himself.

921
01:11:52.239 --> 01:11:52.359
<v Speaker 7>Uh.

922
01:11:53.119 --> 01:11:55.600
<v Speaker 9>The we spent We've been spending a lot of quality

923
01:11:55.680 --> 01:11:58.800
<v Speaker 9>time together, the Premier and I recently, when it's at

924

<v Speaker 9>lunch or discussions at his at his at his home,

925
01:12:04.560 --> 01:12:07.079
<v Speaker 9>on a number of issues, including very much this issue.

926
01:12:07.119 --> 01:12:11.159
<v Speaker 9>In preparation for today's announcement, we spoke at length yesterday,

927
01:12:11.199 --> 01:12:13.279
<v Speaker 9>the Premier and I. We saw each other the day before.

928
01:12:14.359 --> 01:12:15.960
<v Speaker 9>A lot of time for the Premier, but you know,

929
01:12:16.039 --> 01:12:17.520
<v Speaker 9>there's only so much time I want to spend with

930
01:12:17.520 --> 01:12:19.239
<v Speaker 9>the Premier miluntaria, No, just kidding.

931
01:12:19.840 --> 01:12:20.239
<v Speaker 2>It's.

932
01:12:21.640 --> 01:12:26.680
<v Speaker 9>Uh premium speak for himself. We're very aligned on these measures.

933
01:12:27.039 --> 01:12:30.399
<v Speaker 9>This is a good look. I'll finish where I started.

934
01:12:31.119 --> 01:12:32.720
<v Speaker 9>This is a great day. This is a great day.

935
01:12:32.760 --> 01:12:36.239
<v Speaker 9>This is what a confident country does, with a confident company.

939
01:12:52.600 --> 01:12:59.199
<v Speaker 9>founder's birthday. We're moving forward, Premier forward, the Government.

<v Speaker 2>Of Canada in all our companies. I guess you have

941
01:13:01.279 --> 01:13:01.760
<v Speaker 2>a follow up?

942
01:13:01.880 --> 01:13:02.239
<v Speaker 4>Is that right?

943
01:13:02.359 --> 01:13:08.119
<v Speaker 10>Or last follow up?

<v Speaker 17>Go?

946
01:13:08.600 --> 01:13:08.880
<v Speaker 2>Thank you.

947
01:13:09.399 --> 01:13:12.880
<v Speaker 16>Even with former government policies, it was uncertain that Canada

948
01:13:12.920 --> 01:13:16.119
<v Speaker 16>would hit its emission reduction targets. What would you say

949
01:13:16.279 --> 01:13:18.880
<v Speaker 16>to canadience who might think there's no way this more

950
01:13:19.119 --> 01:13:22.359
<v Speaker 16>gentle approach is going to deliver those emission reductions.

951
01:13:23.479 --> 01:13:26.520
<v Speaker 9>Well, the first thing is that in terms of our

952
01:13:26.640 --> 01:13:31.640
<v Speaker 9>overall climate policy, as I say, in the coming weeks,

953
01:13:31.880 --> 01:13:35.239
<v Speaker 9>we'll be releasing our climate competitiveness strategy, so we'll have

954
01:13:35.319 --> 01:13:39.359
<v Speaker 9>more to say at that point. The second is, this

955
01:13:39.560 --> 01:13:45.079
<v Speaker 9>is a government that is relentlessly focused on results, relentlessly

956
01:13:45.159 --> 01:13:48.439
<v Speaker 9>focused on the types of investments that are going to reduce,

957
01:13:50.199 --> 01:13:53.840
<v Speaker 9>reduce emissions and great jobs make the country more competitive.

958
01:13:54.439 --> 01:13:57.319
<v Speaker 9>So that is what this entire packt and this is integrated.

959
01:13:57.399 --> 01:14:02.279
<v Speaker 9>This all is self reinforcing concentives for consumers, building the

962
01:14:10.800 --> 01:14:14.159

977
01:15:42.560 --> 01:15:56.560
<v Speaker 14>Thank you, Good afternoon, folks. My name is b brask

978
01:15:56.600 --> 01:15:59.520
<v Speaker 14>and I'm the President of the Canadian Labor Congress. I'm

979
01:15:59.600 --> 01:16:03.239
<v Speaker 14>joined to by the leadership of Canada's unions. Together we

980
01:16:03.399 --> 01:16:06.680
<v Speaker 14>represent well over three million workers and every sector of

981
01:16:06.760 --> 01:16:10.439
<v Speaker 14>Canada's economy. Today we are holding our Canadian Council Meeting,

982
01:16:10.720 --> 01:16:13.239
<v Speaker 14>a meeting where all heads of unions come together to

983
01:16:13.319 --> 01:16:16.920
<v Speaker 14>strategize the work ahead. A top of mind for us

984
01:16:17.119 --> 01:16:20.439
<v Speaker 14>issue right now is the massive job losses that Canada's

985
01:16:20.479 --> 01:16:24.319
<v Speaker 14>workers are experiencing right across the country. Trump's trade war

986
01:16:24.680 --> 01:16:28.159
<v Speaker 14>is targeting key sectors of our economy, leading to significant

987
01:16:28.239 --> 01:16:31.600
<v Speaker 14>job losses, and at the same time, we see governments

988
01:16:31.800 --> 01:16:35.920
<v Speaker 14>tightening their belts and cutting jobs. Despite the country's need

989
01:16:36.079 --> 01:16:40.079
<v Speaker 14>for stronger public services. We are here today to call

990
01:16:40.239 --> 01:16:45.359
<v Speaker 14>for a worker first, comprehensive economic strategy to protect and

991
01:16:45.520 --> 01:16:49.239
<v Speaker 14>create good union jobs across Canada. I will call on

992
01:16:49.279 --> 01:16:51.800
<v Speaker 14>a number of labor leaders to speak on the issues

993
01:16:52.000 --> 01:16:55.600
<v Speaker 14>facing their members in their sectors across the country. Firstly,

994
01:16:55.800 --> 01:16:58.800
<v Speaker 14>we will hear from the National President of Uniforic Latta Pane.

995
01:17:04.239 --> 01:17:10.560
<v Speaker 17>I'm a little bit taller. Good afternoon everyone, and first

996
01:17:10.720 --> 01:17:13.079
<v Speaker 17>a big thank you to be and the Canadian Labor

997
01:17:13.119 --> 01:17:17.560
<v Speaker 17>Congress for this invitation. It's really great to be here.

998
01:17:18.760 --> 01:17:21.640
<v Speaker 17>I'm here today on behalf of three hundred and twenty

999
01:17:21.760 --> 01:17:25.720
<v Speaker 17>thousand uniform members, one third of whom work in trade

1000
01:17:25.800 --> 01:17:32.039
<v Speaker 17>exposed areas of the economy. This includes manufacturing auto assembly

1001
01:17:32.279 --> 01:17:36.479
<v Speaker 17>and parts plants in Ontario, heavy duty truck and bus

1002
01:17:36.600 --> 01:17:41.560
<v Speaker 17>plants in Quebec and Manitoba. It includes aluminum smelters and

1003
01:17:41.680 --> 01:17:46.840
<v Speaker 17>fabrication plants in Quebec and British Columbia. It includes workers

1004
01:17:46.880 --> 01:17:50.800
<v Speaker 17>who make lumber and wood products at sawmills and pulp

1005
01:17:50.880 --> 01:17:54.520
<v Speaker 17>and paper mills and furniture factories from Atlantic Canada to

1006
01:17:54.640 --> 01:18:00.279
<v Speaker 17>British Columbia. It also includes aerospace, aircraft and component arts

1007
01:18:00.359 --> 01:18:06.039
<v Speaker 17>plants in Halifax and Montreal and Toronto and Winnipeg and

1008
01:18:06.199 --> 01:18:12.239
<v Speaker 17>Abbertsford and everywhere in between. Each of these workplaces represent

1009
01:18:12.439 --> 01:18:16.640
<v Speaker 17>the manufacturing backbone of local communities and our entire country,

1010
01:18:17.600 --> 01:18:22.239
<v Speaker 17>a manufacturing backbone coupled with rich resources in energy and

1011
01:18:22.399 --> 01:18:27.439
<v Speaker 17>minerals so that we can actually build things here in Canada.

1012
01:18:28.439 --> 01:18:29.239
<v Speaker 4>Canada is a.

1013
01:18:29.359 --> 01:18:34.520
<v Speaker 17>Nation of builders and skilled workers, the best, the very

1014
01:18:34.640 --> 01:18:38.479
<v Speaker 17>best at what they do, standing on the shoulders of

1015
01:18:38.600 --> 01:18:42.520
<v Speaker 17>the workers who came before them, who waged big fights

1016
01:18:42.680 --> 01:18:47.720
<v Speaker 17>for economic and social justice through their unions, through these unions,

1017
01:18:48.680 --> 01:18:51.199
<v Speaker 17>and who go to work every single day to build

1018
01:18:51.239 --> 01:18:56.079
<v Speaker 17>the things we need right here at home. But right now,

1019
01:18:56.560 --> 01:19:00.920
<v Speaker 17>all of that is under threat. Spent more than a

1020
01:19:01.039 --> 01:19:05.520
<v Speaker 17>year sharing this message to anyone who will listen. To date,

1021
01:19:06.560 --> 01:19:10.680
<v Speaker 17>literally thousands of Uniform members have lost their jobs or

1022
01:19:10.680 --> 01:19:14.560
<v Speaker 17>have had their plants, mills, and factories idled in the

1023
01:19:14.680 --> 01:19:19.359
<v Speaker 17>forestry sector, in the auto sector, and last week more

1024
01:19:19.479 --> 01:19:22.920
<v Speaker 17>threats to the workers we represent in the aerospace sector.

1025
01:19:23.720 --> 01:19:27.840
<v Speaker 17>They are the front lines of this trade war. They

1026
01:19:27.880 --> 01:19:32.640
<v Speaker 17>are fighting every single day to protect their jobs, their plants,

1027
01:19:33.000 --> 01:19:37.439
<v Speaker 17>their communities, and yes, the industrial economy of this country.

1028
01:19:38.520 --> 01:19:42.600
<v Speaker 17>Losing manufacturing in Canada means losing the very capacity to

1029
01:19:42.720 --> 01:19:46.960
<v Speaker 17>build strong and a strong Canadian economy of our own,

1030
01:19:47.920 --> 01:19:51.720
<v Speaker 17>and that's not something that our Union is willing to seed.

1031
01:19:52.840 --> 01:19:56.279
<v Speaker 17>Donald Trump says very clearly that he doesn't need the

1032
01:19:56.439 --> 01:20:02.560
<v Speaker 17>things that Canada makes. We know the difference, We know

1033
01:20:02.720 --> 01:20:07.039
<v Speaker 17>the difference. He needs our aluminum to build things, he

1034
01:20:07.159 --> 01:20:10.920
<v Speaker 17>needs our potash to grow things, He needs our energy

1035
01:20:12.279 --> 01:20:16.680
<v Speaker 17>and so much more. He surely needs Canadians to keep

1036
01:20:16.760 --> 01:20:21.399
<v Speaker 17>buying American products. We are, after all, their number one

1037
01:20:21.640 --> 01:20:27.039
<v Speaker 17>export market. And make no mistake, his economic plan is

1038
01:20:27.199 --> 01:20:31.039
<v Speaker 17>devastating for Canadian workers and for our economy, but for

1039
01:20:31.199 --> 01:20:35.239
<v Speaker 17>his too. Workers on both sides of the border are

1040
01:20:35.319 --> 01:20:39.880
<v Speaker 17>paying the price. The US manufacturing base right now is

1041
01:20:39.960 --> 01:20:44.720
<v Speaker 17>shrinking under the weight of his tariffs. I want to

1042
01:20:44.760 --> 01:20:49.119
<v Speaker 17>be very clear. It was important that Canada did not

1043
01:20:49.560 --> 01:20:53.000
<v Speaker 17>sign a bad trade deal with the United States last year,

1044
01:20:54.119 --> 01:20:58.920
<v Speaker 17>as other countries did. It was important to understand that

1045
01:20:59.159 --> 01:21:03.840
<v Speaker 17>this time tariffs would have consequences on the US economy,

1046
01:21:04.479 --> 01:21:07.520
<v Speaker 17>and we are now starting to see that. But that

1047
01:21:07.680 --> 01:21:11.640
<v Speaker 17>does not change the fact that we also need a

1048
01:21:11.800 --> 01:21:16.319
<v Speaker 17>durable resolve to this trade dispute, whether that comes through

1049
01:21:16.359 --> 01:21:21.720
<v Speaker 17>a renegotiation of KUSMA or not. A true resolution can

1050
01:21:21.920 --> 01:21:27.680
<v Speaker 17>only come from unity and solidarity across the political divide

1051
01:21:28.479 --> 01:21:33.920
<v Speaker 17>across this country, across our labor movement, across sectors, and

1052
01:21:34.039 --> 01:21:38.319
<v Speaker 17>across workplaces. It is perhaps not a surprise to us

1053
01:21:38.920 --> 01:21:42.800
<v Speaker 17>as trade unionists that a resolution will always come from

1054
01:21:42.840 --> 01:21:46.680
<v Speaker 17>a place of solidarity and not division. That is why

1055
01:21:47.079 --> 01:21:51.000
<v Speaker 17>we are all standing here today. Public and private sector

1056
01:21:51.119 --> 01:21:57.119
<v Speaker 17>workers unite it for a strong and resilient Canadian economy. Recently,

1057
01:21:57.239 --> 01:22:00.439
<v Speaker 17>Prime Minister Kearney defended Canada on the world stage.

1058
01:22:01.279 --> 01:22:02.399
<v Speaker 2>He spoke out on the.

1059
01:22:02.479 --> 01:22:06.840
<v Speaker 17>State of the geopolitics of our world and called on

1060
01:22:07.039 --> 01:22:11.319
<v Speaker 17>world leaders to seize the appeasement of the US President

1061
01:22:11.920 --> 01:22:16.479
<v Speaker 17>and to start working together in common interest. We agree

1062
01:22:16.720 --> 01:22:20.560
<v Speaker 17>with the Prime Minister. We need countries to come together

1063
01:22:21.000 --> 01:22:25.359
<v Speaker 17>and push back against the United States because the task

1064
01:22:25.560 --> 01:22:33.800
<v Speaker 17>ahead is immense. Immense in the face of financial crisis.

1065
01:22:34.319 --> 01:22:37.199
<v Speaker 17>I want to be very clear. In the face of

1066
01:22:37.359 --> 01:22:42.279
<v Speaker 17>financial crisis, the answer is not austerity and cuts to

1067
01:22:42.439 --> 01:22:47.920
<v Speaker 17>critical jobs and services. In the face of industrial crisis

1068
01:22:48.159 --> 01:22:52.359
<v Speaker 17>and job loss, the answer is not so more so

1069
01:22:52.600 --> 01:22:57.119
<v Speaker 17>called free trade deals that leave workers behind. In the

1070
01:22:57.199 --> 01:23:01.600
<v Speaker 17>face of turmoil, our governments and elect representatives can choose

1071
01:23:01.960 --> 01:23:06.520
<v Speaker 17>old ways or create a new world order, one with

1072
01:23:06.720 --> 01:23:11.399
<v Speaker 17>workers at the center of it. Canada can meet this moment.

1073
01:23:12.319 --> 01:23:16.760
<v Speaker 17>I truly believe that we can. We must develop strong,

1074
01:23:17.359 --> 01:23:23.760
<v Speaker 17>meaningful industrial strategies with workers at the table. We can

1075
01:23:23.880 --> 01:23:27.640
<v Speaker 17>take actions against companies that move their businesses out of

1076
01:23:27.720 --> 01:23:32.199
<v Speaker 17>our country. And yes, we can very clearly demand that

1077
01:23:32.319 --> 01:23:36.319
<v Speaker 17>if corporations are going to sell their products in Canada,

1078
01:23:36.840 --> 01:23:40.800
<v Speaker 17>then they must build here as well. We can build

1079
01:23:40.880 --> 01:23:44.880
<v Speaker 17>the things we need here at home, like public transit

1080
01:23:45.119 --> 01:23:50.399
<v Speaker 17>and so much more while creating good union Canadian jobs.

1081
01:23:51.359 --> 01:23:55.279
<v Speaker 17>We can reconcile the needs of working people today with

1082
01:23:55.399 --> 01:24:00.840
<v Speaker 17>a vision for a strong, resilient, competitive, and carer Canada

1083
01:24:01.920 --> 01:24:07.119
<v Speaker 17>on a constantly changing world stage. All of that is possible.

1084
01:24:07.960 --> 01:24:11.680
<v Speaker 17>This is the Canada that we believe in. This is

1085
01:24:11.760 --> 01:24:15.239
<v Speaker 17>the Canada that we are going to continue to fight

1086
01:24:15.359 --> 01:24:19.319
<v Speaker 17>for on behalf of uniform members. Thank you very much

1087
01:24:19.560 --> 01:24:20.399
<v Speaker 17>and solidarity.

1088
01:24:24.199 --> 01:24:26.520
<v Speaker 14>I would now like to invite Mark Hancock, the National

1089
01:24:26.600 --> 01:24:28.800
<v Speaker 14>President of the Canadian Union of Public Employees.

1090
01:24:34.840 --> 01:24:35.439
<v Speaker 2>Good afternoon.

1091
01:24:35.479 --> 01:24:37.720
<v Speaker 19>My name is Mark Hancock, and I'm the National president

1092
01:24:37.880 --> 01:24:42.840
<v Speaker 19>of QP, representing over eight hundred thousand members all across

1093
01:24:43.000 --> 01:24:45.880
<v Speaker 19>this country from coast to coast to coast is my

1094
01:24:46.000 --> 01:24:48.680
<v Speaker 19>absolute honor to join friends from across the labor movement

1095
01:24:49.159 --> 01:24:53.399
<v Speaker 19>representing millions of workers across Canada. We're calling for a

1096
01:24:53.520 --> 01:24:56.960
<v Speaker 19>worker focused and the people centered response to the United

1097
01:24:57.000 --> 01:25:01.119
<v Speaker 19>States causing the turmoil and chaos in our world order

1098
01:25:01.319 --> 01:25:05.079
<v Speaker 19>these days. We really need governments that at every level

1099
01:25:05.760 --> 01:25:09.439
<v Speaker 19>to stop pretending that the market alone will fix this crisis.

1100
01:25:09.680 --> 01:25:10.159
<v Speaker 2>It won't.

1101
01:25:11.359 --> 01:25:13.880
<v Speaker 19>The CEOs on Bay Straight are happy to keep bowing

1102
01:25:13.960 --> 01:25:17.479
<v Speaker 19>down to American fascism as long as the profits keep

1103
01:25:17.600 --> 01:25:20.920
<v Speaker 19>rolling in. The challenges that we face is to preserve

1104
01:25:21.000 --> 01:25:24.560
<v Speaker 19>a Canada worth living in. Let's be clear about what

1105
01:25:24.760 --> 01:25:30.039
<v Speaker 19>that means and what's at stake. American corporate interests, backed

1106
01:25:30.079 --> 01:25:34.960
<v Speaker 19>by an increasingly aggressive imperial approach to trade, see Canada's

1107
01:25:35.000 --> 01:25:40.720
<v Speaker 19>public services and natural resources as untapped markets. They want

1108
01:25:40.760 --> 01:25:44.520
<v Speaker 19>to privatize our healthcare. They want to siphon off our

1109
01:25:44.640 --> 01:25:49.520
<v Speaker 19>water and run roughshod over indigenous indigenous rights and title.

1110
01:25:50.640 --> 01:25:54.640
<v Speaker 19>They want to extract profit from services that Canadians built

1111
01:25:54.760 --> 01:25:59.560
<v Speaker 19>together with our labor and with our collective resources. They

1112
01:25:59.600 --> 01:26:01.720
<v Speaker 19>want to us of the very things that make up

1113
01:26:01.760 --> 01:26:06.640
<v Speaker 19>our national identity and the lifeblood of our communities. I'm

1114
01:26:06.720 --> 01:26:09.319
<v Speaker 19>here to take today to tell you that that just

1115
01:26:09.520 --> 01:26:14.239
<v Speaker 19>isn't going to happen. Our public services are not bargainingships.

1116
01:26:14.600 --> 01:26:18.760
<v Speaker 19>Our water, our healthcare, our infrastructure, and our natural resources.

1117
01:26:19.079 --> 01:26:23.800
<v Speaker 19>Our public goods not the opportunities for corporations to pillage

1118
01:26:24.199 --> 01:26:28.159
<v Speaker 19>and loot. We all heard the Prime Minister speech in Switzerland,

1119
01:26:29.079 --> 01:26:31.279
<v Speaker 19>and he named some hard truths about the times that

1120
01:26:31.359 --> 01:26:34.079
<v Speaker 19>we're living in. One that stood out to me in

1121
01:26:34.159 --> 01:26:38.479
<v Speaker 19>particular was his call to rely not just on our values,

1122
01:26:39.000 --> 01:26:41.720
<v Speaker 19>but on the things that make us strong. And a

1123
01:26:41.800 --> 01:26:45.439
<v Speaker 19>country as diverse and as expansive as Canada, our public

1124
01:26:45.560 --> 01:26:50.079
<v Speaker 19>services and our social safety net are precisely what make

1125
01:26:50.199 --> 01:26:54.880
<v Speaker 19>us strong. Knowing a trip to the hospital isn't going

1126
01:26:54.960 --> 01:26:59.119
<v Speaker 19>to bankrupt a family makes us strong. Knowing our public

1127
01:26:59.199 --> 01:27:03.279
<v Speaker 19>pension system will keep our parents and our grandparents from

1128
01:27:03.359 --> 01:27:07.720
<v Speaker 19>falling into poverty as they age makes us strong. Keeping

1129
01:27:07.800 --> 01:27:12.119
<v Speaker 19>Canada strong and these shaky times means defending the bedrock

1130
01:27:12.199 --> 01:27:16.520
<v Speaker 19>institutions that make us who we are, not abandoning them.

1131
01:27:17.760 --> 01:27:22.159
<v Speaker 19>It means public investment that strengthens communities, not corporate subsidies

1132
01:27:22.560 --> 01:27:26.239
<v Speaker 19>with no strings attached that leave working people high and

1133
01:27:26.399 --> 01:27:30.319
<v Speaker 19>dry once the gold rush ends. It also means standing

1134
01:27:30.399 --> 01:27:34.399
<v Speaker 19>up for human rights consistently. Trade should reflect our values,

1135
01:27:34.960 --> 01:27:39.720
<v Speaker 19>not undermine them. And finally, keeping Canada strong means defending

1136
01:27:39.880 --> 01:27:44.920
<v Speaker 19>our sovereignty. Real sovereignty isn't about slogans or flag waving.

1137
01:27:45.600 --> 01:27:49.079
<v Speaker 19>It's about having the democratic power to decide our own future,

1138
01:27:49.920 --> 01:27:54.279
<v Speaker 19>to protect public services, regulating in the public interest, and

1139
01:27:54.399 --> 01:27:58.720
<v Speaker 19>to build an economy that works for people. Workers, build

1140
01:27:58.760 --> 01:28:03.560
<v Speaker 19>this country, public services or what holds it together. And

1141
01:28:03.800 --> 01:28:05.640
<v Speaker 19>neither of those things are for sale.

1142
01:28:06.279 --> 01:28:06.560
<v Speaker 2>Thank you.

1143
01:28:10.199 --> 01:28:13.720
<v Speaker 18>We are here today to send a clear message to

1144
01:28:13.960 --> 01:28:18.359
<v Speaker 18>Prime Minister Mark Kearney if he meant that what he

1145
01:28:18.520 --> 01:28:22.920
<v Speaker 18>said in Davos that Canada cannot buy a single F

1146
01:28:23.039 --> 01:28:27.640
<v Speaker 18>thirty five. We do not come to this decision lightly.

1147
01:28:28.159 --> 01:28:31.960
<v Speaker 18>We know the decision on the Royal Canadian Air Force's

1148
01:28:32.199 --> 01:28:37.119
<v Speaker 18>next fighter jet has been mishandled by successive Liberal and

1149
01:28:37.319 --> 01:28:42.560
<v Speaker 18>Conservative governments for decades. Fighter jets are just one piece

1150
01:28:42.640 --> 01:28:48.359
<v Speaker 18>of no Red modernization. As we jointly expand no rad's capabilities,

1151
01:28:48.920 --> 01:28:52.880
<v Speaker 18>it is important that, more than ever, that Canada makes

1152
01:28:52.920 --> 01:28:55.720
<v Speaker 18>a clear decision on our fighter jet.

1153
01:28:55.840 --> 01:28:57.000
<v Speaker 2>To ensure all.

1154
01:28:56.960 --> 01:29:02.640
<v Speaker 18>Capabilities are covered, I need to replace our agent fleet

1155
01:29:03.039 --> 01:29:07.680
<v Speaker 18>is urgent. Air Force personnel deserve better, and I'll say

1156
01:29:07.840 --> 01:29:10.840
<v Speaker 18>at this point that I do thank the Air Force

1157
01:29:10.960 --> 01:29:16.520
<v Speaker 18>personnel for their service, especially in these uncertain times. Canada's

1158
01:29:16.600 --> 01:29:22.000
<v Speaker 18>borders and sovereignty of our airspace are currently being openly

1159
01:29:22.159 --> 01:29:26.399
<v Speaker 18>questioned by Donald Trump. Trump is the only leader to

1160
01:29:26.560 --> 01:29:32.920
<v Speaker 18>threaten seizure of another NATO ally, Greenland, and I must

1161
01:29:33.000 --> 01:29:37.359
<v Speaker 18>say with my constituents with the writing of Nunavut, our

1162
01:29:37.520 --> 01:29:43.760
<v Speaker 18>proximity to Greenland makes this a particularly important issue, given that,

1163
01:29:44.000 --> 01:29:49.000
<v Speaker 18>for example, Greasefieord is only twenty six kilometers to Greenland.

1164
01:29:50.520 --> 01:29:55.399
<v Speaker 18>In response to Trump's attacks on our sovereignty, Mark Karney

1165
01:29:55.520 --> 01:29:59.920
<v Speaker 18>has promised to make Canada less reliant on the states.

1166
01:30:00.720 --> 01:30:05.520
<v Speaker 18>We are urging and engaging in one of the single

1167
01:30:05.840 --> 01:30:11.319
<v Speaker 18>largest expansion of the Canadian budget in our history. New

1168
01:30:11.439 --> 01:30:17.960
<v Speaker 18>Democrats have always opposed Canada's participation in the Joint Strike

1169
01:30:18.119 --> 01:30:24.640
<v Speaker 18>Fighter Program and the procurement of F thirty fives. Under

1170
01:30:24.680 --> 01:30:29.960
<v Speaker 18>this program, all spare parts and software is controlled and

1171
01:30:30.159 --> 01:30:35.920
<v Speaker 18>managed by the US government. Militaries that use F thirty

1172
01:30:36.000 --> 01:30:40.600
<v Speaker 18>fives do not have the right to manage their own maintenance,

1173
01:30:41.399 --> 01:30:47.960
<v Speaker 18>directly purchase spare parts, or manage the software under this program.

1174
01:30:48.359 --> 01:30:52.439
<v Speaker 18>Spare parts stored within our borders are still owned by

1175
01:30:52.479 --> 01:30:58.039
<v Speaker 18>the United States. The proposed fleet of F thirty fives

1176
01:30:58.119 --> 01:31:03.399
<v Speaker 18>will be serviced beyond If we let this deal go through,

1177
01:31:04.079 --> 01:31:08.079
<v Speaker 18>the United States will leave an effective veto over our

1178
01:31:08.199 --> 01:31:13.079
<v Speaker 18>fighter jets. They will always have the decision decision to

1179
01:31:13.239 --> 01:31:18.680
<v Speaker 18>cut off supply and critical software updates. One of the

1180
01:31:18.840 --> 01:31:22.920
<v Speaker 18>costs to our participation in the Joint Strike Fighter program

1181
01:31:23.520 --> 01:31:28.920
<v Speaker 18>is citing our sovereignty over procurement policies. We have allowed

1182
01:31:29.000 --> 01:31:32.560
<v Speaker 18>a carve out of the Joint Strike Fighter Program for

1183
01:31:32.760 --> 01:31:39.000
<v Speaker 18>procurement rules. Like our industrial and technology benefits, we have

1184
01:31:39.319 --> 01:31:44.640
<v Speaker 18>exempt them from our procurement strategy for Indigenous businesses, which

1185
01:31:44.760 --> 01:31:49.399
<v Speaker 18>requires five percent of contract value that goes should go

1186
01:31:49.560 --> 01:31:55.960
<v Speaker 18>to indigenous businesses. This is why Canada cannot move forward

1187
01:31:56.159 --> 01:32:02.359
<v Speaker 18>with the procurement of F thirty fives. A eight, not sixteen,

1188
01:32:03.079 --> 01:32:08.960
<v Speaker 18>not one. New Democrats are calling on Mark Karney to

1189
01:32:09.159 --> 01:32:14.399
<v Speaker 18>cancel the F thirty five order immediately and instead partner

1190
01:32:14.520 --> 01:32:20.319
<v Speaker 18>with SAAB to manufacture their Grippin jets to defend the Arctic.

1191
01:32:20.720 --> 01:32:25.399
<v Speaker 18>In partnership with like minded ally countries. I turned out

1192
01:32:25.640 --> 01:32:29.880
<v Speaker 18>that Mike to don our interim leader who will speak

1193
01:32:29.920 --> 01:32:34.399
<v Speaker 18>to more other topic areas in this matter, Queennamy.

1194
01:32:38.600 --> 01:32:39.279
<v Speaker 2>Thank you Lourie.

1195
01:32:41.000 --> 01:32:46.920
<v Speaker 20>This session, the NDP Caucus committed to focusing our attention

1196
01:32:47.239 --> 01:32:52.840
<v Speaker 20>this Parliament on Canada's economy, on Canada's sovereignty, and on

1197
01:32:52.960 --> 01:32:58.319
<v Speaker 20>the security of Canadians. That's why today New Democrats are

1198
01:32:58.399 --> 01:33:02.159
<v Speaker 20>calling on the Government of Canada to terminate the F

1199
01:33:02.239 --> 01:33:06.319
<v Speaker 20>thirty five contract and move swiftly to negotiate an agreement

1200
01:33:06.399 --> 01:33:11.840
<v Speaker 20>with SOB to purchase eighty eight Grippin aircraft. At a

1201
01:33:11.960 --> 01:33:17.680
<v Speaker 20>time when the Trump administration is threatening our sovereignty, attacking

1202
01:33:17.920 --> 01:33:24.840
<v Speaker 20>Canadian workers, increasing tariffs on our industries, and interfering in

1203
01:33:24.960 --> 01:33:29.159
<v Speaker 20>our domestic and foreign policies, going through with any F

1204
01:33:29.239 --> 01:33:35.960
<v Speaker 20>thirty five orders is simply unacceptable. To proceed with purchasing

1205
01:33:36.079 --> 01:33:39.359
<v Speaker 20>F thirty fives in the face of mister Trump's aggression

1206
01:33:40.199 --> 01:33:45.399
<v Speaker 20>is fraught with risk, economically damaging to Canada, and contrary

1207
01:33:45.960 --> 01:33:52.159
<v Speaker 20>to the Carney government's own expressed policies. It's clear that

1208
01:33:52.279 --> 01:33:56.239
<v Speaker 20>the F thirty five's economic benefits to Canada are nowhere

1209
01:33:56.319 --> 01:33:59.880
<v Speaker 20>near proportional to the cost of the program, which has

1210
01:34:00.119 --> 01:34:05.960
<v Speaker 20>already exploded fifty percent over budget. Research indicates that the

1211
01:34:06.119 --> 01:34:10.760
<v Speaker 20>vast majority over seventy percent of F thirty five production

1212
01:34:10.960 --> 01:34:16.439
<v Speaker 20>value will remain within the United States. This aligns with

1213
01:34:16.600 --> 01:34:21.199
<v Speaker 20>comments from liberal Industry Minister Melanie Jolie, who has admitted

1214
01:34:22.000 --> 01:34:25.760
<v Speaker 20>that Canada was short changed on industrial benefits from the

1215
01:34:25.880 --> 01:34:30.920
<v Speaker 20>F thirty five contract. It runs counter to Prime Minister

1216
01:34:31.079 --> 01:34:35.840
<v Speaker 20>Carney's stated goal of retaining more industrial value and jobs

1217
01:34:36.319 --> 01:34:42.800
<v Speaker 20>in Canada from defense procurement. We know that President Trump

1218
01:34:43.119 --> 01:34:47.920
<v Speaker 20>has consistently attacked Canadian workers in the aerospace sector and others,

1219
01:34:48.560 --> 01:34:53.800
<v Speaker 20>and repeatedly uses economic blackmail to force Canada to agree

1220
01:34:54.359 --> 01:34:59.039
<v Speaker 20>to his policy demands. Just days ago, he threatened to

1221
01:34:59.159 --> 01:35:05.840
<v Speaker 20>decertify all Canadian made aircraft, singling out Bombardier Global Express

1222
01:35:05.960 --> 01:35:10.880
<v Speaker 20>jets specifically, and impose a fifty percent tariff on any

1223
01:35:11.000 --> 01:35:16.239
<v Speaker 20>and all aircraft sold into the United States. This is

1224
01:35:16.279 --> 01:35:19.399
<v Speaker 20>the context in which he asks us to consider purchasing

1225
01:35:19.960 --> 01:35:24.560
<v Speaker 20>what is the most important aircraft air defense, a tool

1226
01:35:24.640 --> 01:35:30.159
<v Speaker 20>that Canada is going to need. In contrast, SAB's proposal

1227
01:35:30.279 --> 01:35:34.079
<v Speaker 20>offers a path forward that both meets Canada's defense needs

1228
01:35:34.479 --> 01:35:39.720
<v Speaker 20>and strengthens our manufacturing capacity. SAB would create over twelve

1229
01:35:39.800 --> 01:35:44.199
<v Speaker 20>thousand jobs by setting up Canadian production lines for the

1230
01:35:44.279 --> 01:35:48.640
<v Speaker 20>Grip and Fighter and Global Eye surveillance aircraft to supply

1231
01:35:48.760 --> 01:35:54.239
<v Speaker 20>our Royal Canadian Air Force and export markets. So mister

1232
01:35:54.319 --> 01:35:57.960
<v Speaker 20>Trump wants to take jobs out of Canada while Sweden

1233
01:35:58.119 --> 01:36:03.079
<v Speaker 20>seeks to locate them here. Trump would use our dependence

1234
01:36:03.960 --> 01:36:08.159
<v Speaker 20>to force policy agreement, where Sweden has no such intent.

1235
01:36:10.000 --> 01:36:13.560
<v Speaker 20>In Davos, Prime Minister Carney stated we are in the

1236
01:36:13.640 --> 01:36:18.399
<v Speaker 20>midst of a rupture, not a disruption. He said that

1237
01:36:18.560 --> 01:36:23.119
<v Speaker 20>the old world order, where superpowers could be trusted to

1238
01:36:23.199 --> 01:36:29.479
<v Speaker 20>protect us and respect rules, is gone. He called on

1239
01:36:29.640 --> 01:36:35.680
<v Speaker 20>middle powers to unite against great power rivalry and economic intimidation.

1240
01:36:37.039 --> 01:36:40.319
<v Speaker 20>And he reminded the world that nostalgia is not a

1241
01:36:40.359 --> 01:36:44.079
<v Speaker 20>strategy and that we must build what we claim to

1242
01:36:44.159 --> 01:36:48.159
<v Speaker 20>believe in rather than waiting for the old order to

1243
01:36:48.239 --> 01:36:53.159
<v Speaker 20>be restored. So the bottom line is that purchasing F

1244
01:36:53.319 --> 01:36:57.680
<v Speaker 20>thirty five's from the United States will deepen our military

1245
01:36:57.760 --> 01:37:03.840
<v Speaker 20>integration with a super power, not reduce it. Canada will

1246
01:37:03.840 --> 01:37:07.760
<v Speaker 20>become more vulnerable to American policy pressure, who can threaten

1247
01:37:07.880 --> 01:37:12.279
<v Speaker 20>to withhold software and spare parts, as Lori has already indicated,

1248
01:37:13.239 --> 01:37:18.800
<v Speaker 20>and we will be intentionally and unnecessarily sending Canadian procurement

1249
01:37:18.880 --> 01:37:23.159
<v Speaker 20>dollars and jobs to the United States instead of that

1250
01:37:23.439 --> 01:37:28.039
<v Speaker 20>using that money to create those jobs here. As a

1251
01:37:28.159 --> 01:37:33.439
<v Speaker 20>firm based in Sweden, a dependable NATO partner, SAB provides

1252
01:37:33.520 --> 01:37:38.640
<v Speaker 20>Canada with a stable, predictable source of defense cooperation two

1253
01:37:39.079 --> 01:37:45.800
<v Speaker 20>middle powers, fulfilling mister Carney's stated goals. If the Prime

1254
01:37:45.880 --> 01:37:50.560
<v Speaker 20>Minister meant what he said, then his actions must match

1255
01:37:50.640 --> 01:37:54.880
<v Speaker 20>his words. If he proceeds with the F thirty five contract,

1256
01:37:55.319 --> 01:37:58.760
<v Speaker 20>it will prove his speech in Davos was nothing but

1257
01:37:58.880 --> 01:38:04.039
<v Speaker 20>a public relations exit. So today New Democrats call on

1258
01:38:04.119 --> 01:38:08.439
<v Speaker 20>the federal government to immediately move forward with the SOB

1259
01:38:08.479 --> 01:38:14.720
<v Speaker 20>grip and proposal and defend Canadian jobs, strengthen our aerospace industry,

1260
01:38:15.439 --> 01:38:21.319
<v Speaker 20>properly equip our air force, and protect Canada's sovereignty. Thank

1261
01:38:21.359 --> 01:38:23.640
<v Speaker 20>you very much, and I look forward to any questions.

1262
01:38:23.319 --> 01:38:23.840
<v Speaker 6>That you may have.

1263
01:38:25.960 --> 01:38:29.520
<v Speaker 21>Well, but I convinced my son that there were colors

1264
01:38:29.640 --> 01:38:32.960
<v Speaker 21>in the world back when I was young, and though

1265
01:38:33.239 --> 01:38:38.800
<v Speaker 21>everything wasn't black and white, wrong was wrong and right

1266
01:38:39.199 --> 01:38:43.439
<v Speaker 21>was right. It was about that time I finally realized

1267
01:38:44.199 --> 01:38:47.880
<v Speaker 21>maybe my son was wrapped the whole damn time. Most

1268
01:38:48.000 --> 01:38:50.920
<v Speaker 21>of us were born in a clearer time.

1269
01:38:51.520 --> 01:38:55.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, things were Black Show Spring Pictions Things.

1270
01:38:56.560 --> 01:39:01.279
<v Speaker 1>Please contact us at Depictions Media for more information.

1271
01:39:06.520 --> 01:39:06.960
<v Speaker 18>Mmhmm
