00:00Great day for Canada. It's such a good day, I'm out of breath, yet again, proving my lack of fitness.
00:10It's a great result for Canada that Albertans have chosen unity, they've chosen to build together,
00:19they've chosen to continue to take care of each other, to move forward together with purpose,
00:28high ambition. I'd like to thank all of the volunteers who supported the election, of course,
00:39those who campaigned on all sides, the electoral volunteers who are still counting some of the
00:44votes, above all Albertans for turning out in numbers, participating in the democratic process.
00:49Premier Smith and I spoke this morning, we had a good conversation on a series of issues,
00:55including providing additional support, all support for the victims and the families of the tragedy at CFB Wainwright.
01:05That was our first focus, and then we turned to the referendum.
01:10And moving forward in the spirit of cooperative federalism, including on issues of immigration,
01:17other common priorities of the federal government of the provinces, but underlying priorities of the Canadians.
01:24Alors, en français, je suis…
01:32Je suis ravi des résultats.
01:38C'est une bonne journée pour le Canada.
01:41Canada.
01:41Les Abortins, les Abortins ont choisi l'unité de battre ensemble et de prendre soin les
01:47unes les autres.
01:50Il y a une determination renouvelée et une ambition, une grande ambition pour notre pays,
01:59pour l'Abertus, oui, mais pour le Canada, et on est en train de commencer, de battre
02:07ensemble.
02:07Alors, je voudrais remercier tous les bénévoles, mais surtout tous les Abortins, les Abortins
02:14qui ont choisi le Canada, mais qui ont participé dans le processus démocratique.
02:20J'ai eu une conversation, une longue conversation avec Mme la Première Ministre Smith, deux sujets,
02:27deux grands sujets.
02:28Premièrement, dans un sens le plus important, c'est au niveau humain.
02:32Pour les victimes de la tragédie de Wainwright et il y a des étapes, plusieurs étapes
02:42qu'on va faire ensemble pour aider les familles, les victimes et la communauté.
02:49Et nous avons eu une discussion sur les prochaines étapes pour le Canada, oui, l'Alberta, mais
02:55toutes les provinces et territoires du Canada, dans un esprit de le fédéralisme coopérative.
03:03Sous-titrage Société Radio-Canada
03:04What do you think of Albertans, many Albertans voting in favour of the other nine questions and what kind of
03:10conversations are you planning to have?
03:12Yeah, well, the first thing is it's, we take into account those votes.
03:18They're still being tabulated, but take into account those.
03:21Let me speak maybe to one of the aspects, which is around immigration, which is we've recognised, pardon me,
03:30this government has recognised from the start the need to take back control on immigration, and we've done so.
03:37You know the numbers, but I think it's important to underscore them for all Canadians.
03:42Reduction in asylum seekers of 70%, reduction in temporary foreign worker flows of 60%, reduction in foreign students of 80
03:52% over the course of the last 18 months.
03:56And so we're moving to stabilise, moving to a more sustainable, pardon me, more sustainable pace of immigration.
04:08Now, where we go from here, and I'm not saying that that stabilisation is complete,
04:13but where we go from here needs to be established in cooperation with the provinces,
04:18and that's very much the spirit of at least one of the questions, I guess it would have been question
04:23two, in the referendum.
04:27So we take into account, and look, where we can find solutions together,
04:33pragmatically working together as provinces, territories, federal government,
04:36working with Indigenous peoples, and I'd remind that there is a First Minister's meeting
04:42with Indigenous leaders, with First Nations leaders, to be more specific, next Monday,
04:47where we can find solutions. That's our responsibility to move forward.
04:50That's what Canadians expect, and we'll look to find those solutions.
04:54What is your message for the interveners?
04:56You know, it's Albertain, this morning, because there is still a card that has voted for,
05:00perhaps, to entail the process.
05:02Il y a une carte qui ont voté pour un processus, oui, pour un processus, oui, il y a une
05:11noyandeur,
05:12peut-être, qui veut, oui, qui veut séparer du Canada, mais nous vivons dans une démocratie,
05:24le résultat est absolument clair, c'est une grande majorité pour le Canada,
05:30et c'est le moment de travailler ensemble pour tous les Albertains et les Albertains,
05:35et tous les Canadiens et les Canadiennes.
05:36Were you willing to re-opener ce message?
05:39Are you willing to talk about, you said recently you're open to discussions about the Constitution.
05:43I mean, I, I, it's nothing specific, nothing specific, to be clear.
05:49What I was signaling, I said, I said a number of things in that,
05:53that interview in the same paragraph in which you picked out one element of,
05:58which is that what I favor, is working now, pragmatically, to common solutions.
06:06Constitutional change is difficult, it's long.
06:10We have an amending formula, generated originally out of Alberta,
06:14and where we can find solutions that work for Canadians,
06:17we should find those solutions that work for Canadians.
06:19I believe, for example, on the issue of immigration
06:22and cooperation between the federal government and the provinces
06:26for a sustainable immigration system that works for Canadians,
06:32works for our economy, works for our society,
06:35and treats those who come to our country,
06:38choose to come to our country,
06:40with the dignity and standards that they deserve,
06:45that we can accomplish that without constitutional change, for example.
06:49So, it is, so it's very important to, to do our jobs,
06:53and to, and to find those solutions,
06:55and we're building a track record,
06:57the provinces, the territories, federal governments,
07:01of, of, of doing just that, and we'll continue.
07:03So, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm
07:14sorry,
07:14No, don't, I didn't say, that's not what I said at all.
07:18I'll just refer exactly to my previous answer.
07:20Don't reintroduce.
07:21What?
07:22Don't reintroduce, sir?
07:22I want to say,
07:23Mr. Carney, on the recommendation,
07:25in terms of this interview,
07:26you have opened the door maybe for changements,
07:27as that as we could?
07:28Yeah.
07:28No, no, no, no, no, no.
07:28No, no, no, no, no, no.
07:29I don't really know what it's telling.
07:32We can say, okay, for the great danger, pardon,
07:38for the great danger,
07:38for example,
07:39in terms of immigration,
07:41there is an arrangement with Quebec,
07:46you know, the service,
07:47it's different for the other provinces,
07:50But in terms of immigration, we can choose, okay, we don't do anything without constitutional changes.
07:59For me, it's not correct.
08:03What is better is to work together, to find solutions if it's possible.
08:08If it's necessary to have constitutional changes, yes, we can do it, but we don't start.
08:15It's not necessary to have constitutional changes, in my opinion, in these issues.
08:29If it's necessary to have constitutional reform, in English, you said that you prefer practical changes.
08:36That's the same thing I said in French, which is we start with, we start, look, what I just said,
08:43to give you the translation, was there's one approach, which is to say, oh, let's wait until, we're just going
08:50to park the issue, important issues, whether it's immigration, whether it's the judiciary, other aspects, let's just park that, unless
08:59we have constitutional change.
09:00Or, let's work together, let's find common solutions now, and then, if it were to become necessary.
09:08It's a question of priorities and starting, and this is a government that very much is focused on results for
09:15Canadians.
09:16It's very focused on working with the provinces.
09:18It's very focused on working with indigenous peoples and finding solutions now to the issues that our country faces, and
09:27really, above all, seizing the many opportunities for Canadians, which are considerable.
09:32But then, if it's a government that's more focused...
