00:09Earlier this morning, and I would say as well that throughout this time we have made a series
00:15of comprehensive and detailed proposals about how to modernize KUSMA, recognizing the transition
00:24that the U.S. is underway in the international and all its trading relationships, including
00:30with Canada and Mexico. I spoke with President Trump earlier this morning. We agreed to intensify
00:38negotiations in the coming weeks, and the team and myself look forward to doing that.
00:43As always, Canadians, governments, business, labor will stand together to build Canada strong
00:50and to have a trading relationship with our North American partners that benefits everyone.
01:00Look, we have a situation where the American tariffs, the 338 tariffs, will come into effect
01:06in 29 days, and we will look at all options in terms of how we would respond if they do
01:15come into effect. That's part of what we'll be discussing with Premiers. Also, in parallel,
01:21as I just said, that I'd spoken with the President, we agreed to intensify discussions. We'll begin
01:26that right away. And this is part of a negotiation. So the first objective is to get a comprehensive
01:34agreement that benefits, obviously, both countries that's consistent with KUSMA, KUSMA as it is,
01:42and KUSMA as it will be. And we'll work towards that. But in parallel, when I say we will do
01:49whatever it takes and keep all options, obviously, it's a comprehensive point.
02:01Well, we're at the table. We'll be having those more intense discussions. And you know, what the issue
02:08has been, for us, has been a comprehensive agreement. We understand the U.S. approach to strategic sectors,
02:18what they call strategic sectors. They are strategic sectors. But under their definition, 232 definitions,
02:23that's aluminum, that's forest products, that's steel, that's automobiles, pharmaceuticals, copper,
02:29others. But those first four being the most important for the Canadian economy. And that we don't want a
02:37partial agreement. We want something that addresses those sectors as well. So that there's a viable
02:43approach going forward, in our view.
02:51Provinces put booze back on their shelves. Will that help with these negotiations?
02:54It's part of a... The provinces, individually, took those decisions in response to a series of tariffs that were put
03:04in place,
03:05and also threats to our sovereignty. Those measures have been supported by provincial citizens. And they're supported,
03:16and it's indicative in terms of other consumption habits, if I can put it that way, of Canadians, where Canadians
03:20have traveled.
03:21Other things that are on the shelves, but aren't being purchased. The decision to change that, first and foremost will
03:33be taken by the provinces themselves,
03:35each individually, and should only be taken, in my judgment, as part of an overall agreement. And that's what we'll
03:43work to accomplish.
03:44Thank you, everyone.
03:45Did you mislead Canadians on the windshield? Did you mislead Canadians, sir?
