00:00:00.000the things you just mentioned was censorship. And just a few hours before we sat down for this
00:00:04.960interview, the Senate in Ottawa committee voted 7-1 to support the criminalization up to two
00:00:13.300years in prison for anything the government deems to be denialism about residential schools,
00:00:18.500whatever that means. It's not super clear. And one of the things that you've made pretty central
00:00:24.140on your platform is repealing DRIPA and sort of going back and looking at what has built this
00:00:30.200country and what are the issues for treaty people, for everyone else. And I'm wondering,
00:00:35.340how do you balance all this when Ottawa seems to be focused on plugging the airs and just deciding?
00:00:44.640If a government feels they can only move forward by censoring their own citizens,
00:00:51.820We have a huge problem, and I think we do have a huge problem here in Canada.
00:00:58.780But in B.C., I'm now the leader of the Conservative Party of British Columbia.
00:01:04.400I intend to take these issues to British Columbians and to win in an election with clarity and focus on these issues.
00:01:15.340I'm a negotiator by training and by nature, and I am hoping that we can have principled, accountable negotiations on these sensitive multilayered issues and get to progress.
00:01:32.000I'm imagining mostly through economic partnerships, that sort of thing, that benefit
00:01:37.740all British Columbians. But a government approach that is shutting down opposition
00:01:46.040through legislation, to me, that's coercion. And I simply don't agree with it. I'll fight it.
00:01:54.460And I'll fight it from my area of Canada, which is BC, where I'm born and bred.
