00:00:00.000 Mr. Bernier, the question is about your past comments on the Conservative Party.
00:00:03.680 You've said that it's, in its current form, morally and intellectually corrupt.
00:00:08.000 In the event that there's a Conservative minority and the People's Party could hold the balance of power,
00:00:12.860 how could you, if you could, work with them, given the comments you've already made on record about the Conservatives?
00:00:18.680 I think it's a great question. Thank you for asking.
00:00:21.220 The most important for me is to work with the minority government.
00:00:24.620 It can be a Conservative minority, it can be a Liberal minority government.
00:00:27.840 We won't be part of a coalition government. That must be clear.
00:00:32.240 We will look at their legislation, we will look at their policy, policy, each policy,
00:00:38.660 and we'll decide if we support them or not.
00:00:41.260 So, that being said, we won't do any compromise with our principal.
00:00:44.420 They will have to do some compromise to have our support.
00:00:47.120 So, step by step, policy by policy, we'll judge them.
00:00:51.320 But the most important, we won't be part of a coalition government.
00:00:54.520 If you are supporting a government of another party that has support for supply management in a budget,
00:01:00.940 would that be a deal-breaker for you?
00:01:03.140 You know, absolutely. I think it's important.
00:01:05.440 It's not fair for Canadians. 0.99
00:01:07.000 Canadians can save $400 a year.
00:01:09.660 Every Canadian family can save $400 a year.
00:01:12.600 If we abolish that, I think we must do it.
00:01:15.340 But we'll look at the budget.
00:01:17.020 We'll judge.
00:01:18.140 And as you know, I don't like also deficit.
00:01:20.940 If we have a budget with huge deficit, it is not responsible.
00:01:24.700 But the minority government will have to look at our platform if they want to have our support.
00:01:30.320 Great. Thank you.
00:01:31.060 Merci.
00:01:31.320 Thank you.
