00:00:00.000 I'm Willie Tamtam here for True North in Belém, Parå, Brazil for Day 3 of the COP30 Climate Conference.
00:00:05.460 Now, earlier today this morning, I caught up with Minister Stephen GalbĂł, or at least tried to, at the event at the Canadian Pavilion where he was speaking.
00:00:13.720 Now, he gave a speech, he talked, there were no questions allowed during the session, so I waited politely outside to see if I can get to engage with him afterwards.
00:00:22.660 And like Minister DabrĂș Singh, he too was also muted to Canadian media. He did not speak to me, didn't engage with me, didn't even acknowledge I was there.
00:00:33.120 He kept moving on across the hallways along with interacting with the Chinese briefly.
00:00:37.840 He shook the hands of a member of the Chinese delegation, actually the head of the Chinese delegation here in Brazil for COP30.
00:00:44.280 As you know, the Chinese and their experts have engaged with me before. So has California Governor Gavin Newsom, the German Chancellor Friedrich Mertz.
00:00:52.660 Governments from all over the world have been able to stand on their climate records. For better or worse, they have been able to engage with media, not only myself, but also my colleagues here around me.
00:01:01.760 So the Canadian delegation has been absolutely muted. So here's a clip that I'm referring to from earlier with Guilbault.
00:01:08.900 And, of course, I was asking him questions on the pipeline, possible project for the West Coast.
00:01:14.200 And, you know, tomorrow we'll have more information on Prime Minister Carney's approved list of projects.
00:01:20.160 And, of course, the oil sector and whether or not Alberta will have any sort of relief from Ottawa finally.
00:01:26.220 But here's that clip for you guys now.
00:01:28.620 Is Canada moving back on its climate commitments, sir?
00:01:30.780 Are we moving backwards or forwards, sir?
00:01:38.920 Is there any case you would support a West Coast pipeline tomorrow morning?
00:01:42.320 There will be new projects announced by the PM?
00:01:46.380 Anything at all, Mr. Gibble?
00:01:47.600 And just like that, yesterday as well, day two, same thing.
00:01:53.160 The Canadian delegation has been absolutely muted on any of their COP30 commitments, their climate change policy.
00:01:58.960 They haven't tried to defend anything. They haven't tried to say anything.
00:02:01.920 Zero transparency thus far.
00:02:03.660 We have no idea to date whether or not Canada will be shifting off millions or billions of our taxpayer dollars to any or many initiatives here at COP30.
00:02:13.080 We have, in principle, signed on to some UN commitments here, but we have no details as to when and where that money will be going and how much of it exactly will be shipped out.
00:02:23.280 We'll do more work, hopefully, to ask questions again and see if we can get any details.
00:02:27.340 Talk to any spokespersons we have here on the ground, and Trunaut will do its journalism due diligence to get all the details for you, if possible.
