00:13What do you make of U.S. cabinet secretaries insulting the Canadian
00:17military? It's beneath their office. The issues with respect to language and
00:27culture, enough to not have a deal. The issues Mr. Gray just asked about with
00:33respect to restrictions on future trade deals, restrictions on our sovereignty,
00:37enough not to have a deal. Issues with respect to locking in an uncompetitive
00:44trade arrangement in our key industries, automobiles being one of them, enough to
00:50not have a trade deal. And then the general attitude, and I'll leave you with
00:53this, which I think this is a very important point, is that the attitude of
01:00the United States in these discussions, and subsequently, has been one that the
01:10core Canadian industries either would be subsidiaries effectively of the United
01:17States industries, or would put in place terms where those industries would be
01:24gradually wound down in Canada and wiped out. Of course we're not going to accept those terms.
01:28We can put it in place. It's working. It's still early days.
01:33And by the way, it's misguided. The United States auto industry is made stronger by the
01:39Canadian and the Mexican auto industries. And at a time of big, big change in auto, it's
01:45important that we work together. That's why I say, yes, there is a mutually beneficial deal.
01:49There were elements of that mutually beneficial deal that we were moving towards, which is
01:54why we were still at the table. But we never viewed that we had that deal. And it diverged
02:01towards the end. At some point, maybe it'll converge again.
02:08And when the Americans stop doing memes, stop throwing shade, stop trying to be tough, and start
02:17being serious about having those discussions, we can have those discussions. But it's not
02:22constructive, but that's their democracy.
02:29Our message, first off, has always been, our plan has always been standing up for Canada,
02:35first and foremost, here at home, building Canada at home, diversifying abroad. Everyone
02:39in the world wants to do more with Canada. And we're doing that in a way that's in the
02:43best interest of Canadian workers, Canadian families, Canadian businesses.
02:46Thank you, Mr. Gray, with respect to restrictions on the future.
