00:08:41.020Why do you think it's ethically acceptable to marginalize Conservatives and to refuse to treat them with respect?
00:08:49.240I don't answer your – I will not answer your question from Rebel News.
00:08:54.420So I will not take that question, but I will take the time to say that for me,
00:09:00.420what is critical in this election is the issue of who will fight for Canadians,
00:09:05.420who will defend the things that people hold dear, such as healthcare,
00:09:10.420who will defend the interests of everyday Canadians and not rich CEOs,
00:09:16.420and who will be able to stand up to companies that rip Canadians off.
00:09:23.420I have a hold of it, so you'll have to listen to me again.0.80
00:09:28.420Now, you feel that – the Indians feel that your opinions are not acceptable, and you refuse to answer questions from journalists with whom you disagree, as you've just done now.
00:09:49.420presume that in your opinion we should be punished one way or another so how are you any different
00:09:56.080from authoritarian politicians uh that you would imprison for their ideas this is another reason
00:10:03.400why i do not take questions from rebel news because you promote disinformation and your
00:12:46.440And I know the Liberals have got a lot of soft support.
00:12:49.460Because I think I said this on the show last night.
00:12:51.680We've been hearing for years, ad nauseum, that the Liberals are the natural governing party of Canada.
00:12:59.200And it seems as though that maybe they are the default party when people go to the polls to vote federally, not so much provincially, because provincially is a whole different matter.
00:13:11.260In Ontario, you've got three parties, generally speaking, that run provincially.
00:15:06.500And then they look at Pierre Polyev, who's the younger guy, right?
00:15:10.580And he comes off, I suppose, to some of these folks, because Canadians,
00:15:15.140as somewhat abrasive because he corrects the premise of many reporters questions and the
00:15:24.680reporters don't like that they get their noses out of joint but obviously you can't answer a0.81
00:15:30.200question that's set up to make you look like a fraud or a liar or a right-wing knuckle dragger
00:15:38.020or whatever it is they're trying to set you up as and so he corrects the premise of those questions
00:15:42.900I think he does it actually quite smartly.
00:15:45.040I don't think he does it arrogantly at all.
00:15:50.500And I think in the past week or so, and maybe this is too late,
00:15:54.360Polyev has been trying to get the message out to Canadians via YouTube,
00:15:59.420mostly podcasts we've never heard of because people have been urging,
00:16:03.180you got to go do podcasts, you got to do podcasts.
00:16:05.900And so he did a couple of these podcasts,
00:16:07.900and I'd never heard of any of the podcasts that he's been on,
00:16:12.160in which you're two or three, and he brought his wife on with him,
00:16:14.500and he talked about their kids and how one of them is special needs
00:16:17.860and how much he's learned from being a father and a husband
00:16:21.360and just the years spent in Parliament as an MP serving his constituents.
00:16:28.380So they're trying to soften his image somewhat,
00:16:30.720but that probably should have happened a year ago, even two years ago.
00:16:36.180And I know they tried it a while back,
00:16:38.740and then they just dropped that campaign altogether.
00:16:42.160But it seems to me that the conservative numbers go up when Polyev gets feisty, when Polyev starts calling things out, not when he's placating or trying to placate.
00:16:55.040And I totally get that they're trying to make him look more human, like a young father.
00:17:00.300You know, he's got a heart because that's the rap on conservatives, too, right?0.99
00:23:08.380Well, we need to be in a position of strength.
00:23:12.020The Liberal government has weakened our economy with anti-energy laws,
00:23:15.780red tape, and high taxes that have driven $500 billion out of our country into the United States
00:23:21.340and made us incapable of shipping our resources overseas.
00:23:26.580That weakness threatens our ability to stand up for ourselves.
00:23:30.260So what would I do? I would cut taxes, red tape, and approve our resource projects so that we can get our goods to market and bring home the jobs so we stand up to President Trump from a position of strength.
00:23:44.800Mr. Singh, you get the next question. Can we trust the United States to work with us on matters such as Arctic sovereignty and defense policy?
00:23:52.540I think we've seen, first of all, good evening, everyone, and thank you for tuning in, and thanks for the question, Steve.
00:23:58.000We've seen what, for a lot of people, feels like a betrayal when we look at the United States.
00:24:02.520I grew up in a border town, I grew up in Windsor, and we saw how connected we were as a city and as a community.
00:24:09.100People lived on one side of the border, worked on the other.
00:24:11.780People traveled back and forth all the time.
00:24:13.840We're in the automotive capital of Canada, and we knew how important it was to be able to build cars in Canada,
00:24:20.340but we saw that those cars went back and forth across the border.
00:24:22.800seeing what Donald Trump did to attack Canada in this unprovoked way without any justification
00:24:28.960really felt like a betrayal and so Canadians now are right to say well we don't really trust
00:24:33.460Donald Trump at this point and we can't really have a lot of faith in him so when it comes to
00:24:37.680our Arctic sovereignty and our security we need to make decisions that are in our best interest
00:24:41.820and no longer be so dependent and so reliant on the U.S. and that's what I would advocate for
00:24:47.440making sure we are resilient independent and less dependent on the United States.
00:24:51.780Mr. Blanchet, for you, what supports would you want to see for industries affected by tariffs, many, of course, of which are in Quebec?
00:24:59.620Many of them. First, we all will come in Quebec and Montreal. You have me because I try not to speak English in Montreal.
00:25:07.380However, I think we should never underestimate the threat that Mr. Trump poses on Quebec economy and Canada economy and Mexico economy.
00:25:16.040But we must acknowledge the fact that the economy of Quebec is built differently.
00:25:44.400And if this difference is being respected by whoever becomes prime minister of Canada, we will be reliable partners in order to achieve the best possible negotiation and protect ourselves and our economies as partners.
00:25:59.460OK, we now move into open debate and I'll start it off, Mr Carney, with you and then we go from there.
00:26:04.980Do you still support dollar for dollar tariffs, even if they ultimately threaten Canadian jobs and businesses?
00:26:11.600No, and in fact, we've already moved off from dollar for dollar tariffs.
00:26:17.020You know, we have to recognize, and I think we all do, the United States economy is more than 10 times the size of the Canadian economy.
00:26:23.080And the principle in terms of our counter tariffs is to have maximum impact in the United States, as I said a moment ago, minimum impact here.
00:26:31.060So we have to think about the impact on Canadian businesses.
00:26:35.960In the auto sector, the way we've designed those auto tariffs is that Canadian automakers, if they maintain production here, if they maintain their investments here, when I say Canadian automakers, I mean automakers that have jobs and plants and production in Canada, then they can have lower tariffs on what they ship to the United States.
00:26:57.580We create a huge incentive for them in order to do that.
00:27:00.420We also have carved out the Canadian auto parts sector.
00:27:04.000Last point, I know you're pressed for time.
00:27:06.140The Canadian auto parts sector so that it can remain competitive with the United States.
00:27:10.860We're focused on maximizing Canadian jobs, maximizing the harm in the U.S. so that we get them where we need them.
00:27:17.040Mr. Poliette, who went in? Then Mr. Singh.
00:27:19.180Mr. Carney, you claim that you want our country to respond with strength.
00:27:24.620But after the last decade, half of which time you've been Justin Trudeau's economic advisor, our economy is weaker than ever before.
00:29:15.720We're looking forward to them with the other provinces.
00:29:17.360Of course, we agree around having a strategic response to the United States.
00:29:24.920But what I'm concerned about is what we're doing here in Canada.
00:29:27.880We are already seeing threats to our country in that just the threats alone of the tariffs have meant Canadians have lost their jobs.
00:29:34.640The threats of the tariffs that are in pace right now, the impact of those tariffs is that we've lost jobs in steel, aluminum, and the auto sector.
00:31:56.020Right now, the Americans get 97 percent of our oil, 100 percent of our natural gas exports at big discounts.
00:32:03.480We have to send Canadian oil from Western Canada through the states just to get it back to Quebec because we don't have a pipeline.
00:32:10.300And now there's this law, liberal law C-69, which effectively bans pipelines.
00:32:16.060The 14 biggest energy and resource companies say it has to go if we're ever going to build another project.
00:32:21.740And I asked Mr. Carney why he would keep in place this anti-pipeline law that effectively empowers Donald Trump to have a total monopoly on our single biggest export.
00:32:35.180Why would you not repeal this liberal law?
00:32:37.900Isn't it because you are exactly the same in the same line as Justin Trudeau and the rest of the liberal team that is now making up your cabinet?
00:33:07.240Mr. Steve, if I may redress, I'm trying to do it quickly because several points raised.
00:33:12.200All proceeds go to workers and the firms most effective, and those proceeds are considerable.
00:33:17.320Third thing, I'm interested in solutions.
00:33:19.740I'm interested in getting energy infrastructure built that means pipelines that means carbon capture storage that means electricity grids and here's how you do it and we've already moved in the first in the first month cooperation agreements with the provinces guess what we are a federation you need to cooperate with Quebec you need to cooperate with the provinces you need to get first nations and indigenous people buy in you can do that through through the one project one review is he flip-flopping on the pipeline nationally now ministers meeting as well as if
00:33:49.720if necessary, using emergency powers to fulfill the federal responsibility, but not the uniqueness.
00:33:54.800Mr. Poliette, do you want to come back on that?
00:33:56.360What you're saying, Mr. Carney, with respect, is a total contradiction.
00:34:01.440The no-new development law, C-69, guarantees there will not be a one-stop shop
00:34:06.560because it requires the government of Canada to actually duplicate the same project.
00:34:13.820Have no regulation. Have one-stop shop.
00:34:16.740Let's just let him finish the sentence that is not true in fact0.97
00:34:22.060Mr. Singh the reality is we should have strong rules enforced once we shouldn't have multiple levels. I heard you hear about the environment
00:34:29.280That takes it takes now 17 years to get a major project approved in this country
00:34:35.100Look at the lefties laughing with each other last 10 years. We've had the worst economic growth in our in the entire
00:34:41.700We cannot afford a fourth liberal term.
00:34:47.300And the conservative plan for a change will include repealing the anti-pipeline law so we can get our energy to markets other than the United States.
00:35:05.340I think what we need to do, if we're talking about energy in our country, we need to build an east-west grid.
00:35:10.180Let's use our power as a nation to build a national project that creates good jobs, that strengthens us for the future, where we connect the low-cost energy from jurisdictions and provinces across this beautiful land and have low-cost energy for businesses, for people, so we can build a stronger economy.
00:35:27.180That's the energy of the future that we need.
00:37:50.700And our conservative plan for change will repeal the no-new pipelines law.
00:37:55.280It will create a true one-stop shop, set up shovel-ready zones with pre-permitting so that we can approve LNG liquefaction export plants, mines, pipelines, nuclear plants, and also hydroelectric dams so that we can generate the power we need to be strong, self-reliant, and stand on our own two feet for change.
00:42:06.720But the best way to do it is to have everybody pay its fair share in terms of tax, which means that one should not be entitled to hide money in fiscal paradise in order not to pay him or his clients or friends, not to pay billions of dollars in taxes that could be used to help the situation of elders.
00:42:30.100Those are things which are supposed to be applied to, I'm sorry, applied to everybody.
00:42:34.660There are a lot of questions to be answered about that.
00:42:37.920Other ways to do it is to reduce the pressure on housing price
00:42:43.000to make sure that the whole budget of elders and families and workers
00:42:48.100can afford houses which have increased dramatically in price.
00:42:53.240Next, Monsieur Blanchet, that's time for this one.
00:42:55.180Mr Carney, I want to ask you about housing,
00:42:57.060which over the past decade has gone from a problem to a crisis
00:43:53.080And doing that in a way that uses Canadian technology in modular, prefabricated housing.
00:43:57.180It uses Canadian lumber, including in reinforced timber, and uses Canadian workers.
00:44:03.320And in all respects, we're scaling up to double the rate of home building.
00:44:08.600Thank you, Mr. Carney. That's time. We now move to open forum here.
00:44:11.200And Mr. Singh, you get the first comment.
00:44:13.620Many of you have pledged to cut the GST on many aspects of buying a home.
00:44:18.320And Mr. Singh, I want to ask you, would you cut the GST on anything else in order to make life more affordable?
00:44:23.240Absolutely. In fact, I'm the only one on this stage that fought to give people a GST holiday.
00:44:27.780Interestingly, while the GST holiday helps working class folks, middle class folks.
00:44:31.740Polyev should have cut him off and said, wait a minute, wait a minute.
00:44:33.880These modular homes, the ones that you invested in with Brookfield voted against that.
00:44:37.760They oppose the idea of giving people.
00:44:39.740He doesn't want to look mean, but rather give millionaires a tax break, which shows you whose side he's on, which is not surprising.
00:44:47.280But what is surprising that Mr. Carney also said that giving people a break on their GST is a bad idea.
00:44:52.200Mr. Carney, why do you think giving a tax break to capital gains folks that earn more than a million dollars is a good idea, but helping a family afford their groceries, helping people afford their bills for their Internet, their cell phone, their home heating, giving them relief to take the GST off of those is a bad idea.
00:45:09.300But giving a tax break to people who really only earn over more than one point four million dollars, that's somehow a good idea.
00:45:49.000Just a few weeks ago, before the election, the Liberals voted against taking the GST off new homes, and they have continued to build up bureaucracies that block construction.
00:45:59.860We need a change so that you can afford a home.
00:46:02.200And our change will be, again, to axe the sales tax on new homes, incentivize municipalities to speed up permits, free up land, and cut development costs,
00:46:11.600train up 350,000 young people who can be in the trades to build those homes
00:46:16.260and sell off the land that is going to be needed in order to build homes.
00:46:19.880That is a real plan, a real plan for you to own a home and afford your life for a change.
00:46:26.460Mr. Carney, they're coming at you from both sides.
00:51:28.080I'm saying quite clearly that you cannot be entitled to do it alone.
00:51:32.980You cannot be entitled to hold all the power in your two hands.
00:51:36.960You cannot go out there and fix things for Canada and Quebec without being seriously checked by serious people.
00:51:44.760You cannot go out there and speak for Quebec without Quebec having its own strong voice to protect itself and to promote its different economy.
00:51:55.120So if you want to collaborate, let's say right now that whatever happens, even if minority government happens, you will be a partner with the different Quebec economy and identity, which you have been not interested in for the economic part and not respectful for the identity.
00:52:15.620Let me get Mr. Singh in at this point. Can you tell us what's the first thing you would do to make life more affordable for Canadians?
00:52:21.940Yeah, there's a lot of things that we can do,
00:52:23.300and I've laid out some of those things.
00:52:25.500Fundamentally, I'm the only person on stage
00:52:27.100that not only fought for real relief for people
00:52:44.800All measures that Mr. Polyev voted against,
00:52:47.920all measures that Mr. Blanchet voted against.
00:52:50.240So if you want someone that's going to fight for you in Ottawa to actually make life more affordable, you can't entrust all the power to Mr. Carney.
00:52:57.960He doesn't have a track record of making life more affordable for people, but we do.
00:53:01.560So vote for a new Democrat, and we'll continue this work to make life more affordable for you.
00:53:05.700While the Conservatives and the bloc have voted against those measures to make life affordable, because that's not who they care about, new Democrats are in it for you.
00:57:26.260Is your housing more affordable than it used to be?
00:57:29.420What is your cost of living like compared to what it was a decade ago?
00:57:33.540And are you prepared to elect the same Liberal MPs, the same Liberal ministers, the same Liberal staffers all over again for a fourth term?
00:57:40.500Mr. Carney, Justin Trudeau's staffers are actually here with you at this debate in Montreal, writing the talking points that you are regurgitating into the microphone.
00:57:50.080How can we possibly believe that you are any president than the previous 10 years of liberal government?
00:57:56.92025 seconds left in this segment for you to respond to that.
00:58:00.000Look, I do my own talking points. Thank you very much.
01:04:00.880I think everyone in our country should be safe.
01:04:03.580You should be able to be safe at home, safe when you go to work, safe if you take public transit, safe for your kids to be able to play in the local playground.
01:04:11.480And that's something I'm committed to.
01:04:13.060And the other area that I'm focused on when it comes to public safety is making sure we prevent crime before it happens.
01:04:18.640And that's why we want to see increased investments in our border security.
01:04:22.340we saw under the conservatives they cut 1100 border officers in one day so that prevented
01:04:29.020our ability to keep our borders safe that stops those materials that's time not sure it was about
01:04:33.820the rcmp but maybe we can get back to that during the open debate segment uh which we go to right
01:04:38.640now and mr poliev you get the first word on this one and it sort of dovetails on the last answer
01:04:42.880you gave which is you have pledged to be the first prime minister in this country to use the
01:04:47.920notwithstanding clause, setting aside charter rights of, as you call them, multiple murderers.
01:04:53.100Why do you think that's necessary? To be clear, I want to uphold the charter rights of Canadians
01:04:58.060under Section 7 to life, liberty, and security of the person. Right now, that right is violated
01:05:06.260by multiple murderers who are given discounts. The case in question was a gentleman who went
01:05:12.520into a mosque and shot dead six innocent worshippers. He got, according to this ruling,
01:05:18.740only one 25-year sentence, meaning he could be out in his 50s. He only serves four years for every
01:05:25.540murder that he carried out. That is outrageous. And I will use the constitutional powers that
01:05:32.400are created for this purpose to ensure that mass murderers stay in maximum security penitentiary
01:05:38.560for life they will only come out in a box we will also pass tough new laws that prevent repeat
01:05:45.120offenders from getting out if you commit three offenses under the three strikes law i propose
01:05:49.040you will not be allowed out of jail until you prove that you are drug free that you that you
01:05:55.300are behaved perfectly and you've learned an employable you will only come out in a box
01:05:59.700we cannot allow liberal crime and chaos to go on terrorizing our communities what we need is a real
01:06:06.320plan for change so that we can bring back the safety and the security the Canadians used to
01:06:11.400take for granted. Let me get Mr. Carney to respond to that. You think that's an appropriate
01:06:14.480use of the notwithstanding clause of the Charter? I think that one of the core responsibilities of
01:06:20.380the federal government, Prime Minister, is to defend the fundamental rights and liberties of
01:06:26.120Canadians. And those fundamental rights and liberties of Canadians are outlined in our
01:06:31.520Charter of Rights and Freedoms, which is 43 years old literally today. I think it's a very dangerous
01:06:39.280slope to override judgments of the Supreme Court of Canada. In fact, the Charter of Rights and
01:06:49.220Freedoms exists to protect Canadians from people like us on the stage, politicians who may use
01:07:29.080said that he felt that it was wrong to use the notwithstanding clause after a law is adopted.
01:07:37.600So if we cannot use it before and we cannot use it after, it means that Mr. Calmey believes
01:07:43.220that we should never use it. But it is very important. And the Ford case made it clear.
01:07:50.580The Constitution says how it should be used, but never how or what we will do with it because it's the prerogative of the provinces.
01:08:02.260So do you want the Supreme Court to overrule another judgment of the same Supreme Court because you don't like it?
01:08:11.360Because that would be being the hell of a politician as you define them.
01:08:15.040Well, let me just start by saying, first of all, yeah, thank you.
01:08:18.060I just started by saying, let's not let Mr. Polyev get away with making this ludicrous claim that anyone on this stage thinks that violent crime should get a less severe penalty.
01:08:29.300Obviously, that is not a special position that he's taking.
01:08:32.300Everyone agrees that horrible crimes should have horrible sentences.
01:08:36.880Judges are equipped to do that, so don't let Mr. Polyev's rhetoric confuse people.
01:08:42.140Obviously, everyone agrees that if someone does something horrible,
01:08:44.560they should pay a horrible price for it.
01:08:46.380There should be an appropriate sentence that's put in place by a judge.
01:08:49.840What I'm concerned about is all of what Mr. Pauly was talking about is after the fact.
01:08:54.520Now, there's heinous things that happen, and there needs to be severe penalties put in place.
01:08:59.060But we also need to keep communities safe.
01:11:33.360And we're doing so. We've committed to doing so.
01:11:35.560You put in place a reverse onus in terms of bail so that it has to be proven that there's not a risk, which we've also committed to.
01:11:42.740And then you go to what Mr. Singh was talking about, which is we have to reinforce our frontiers.
01:11:48.340That's why we're committing to an extra thousand Canada Border Service agents, an extra thousand RCMPs.
01:11:54.940That's why, as part of the broader fentanyl initiative, where we've added to the RCMP there, we've added drones, we're adding helicopters, we're adding surveillance, and we're going to the other end of the chain with respect to Carthap, which is tightening security at the ports.
01:12:11.540But heaven forbid we should keep these criminals in prison.
01:12:14.000get results. You need to focus where at both ends of the chains. Thank you very much. I want to talk
01:12:19.740about one of the issues that has come up is the idea of the public safety concerns around the
01:12:25.060overdose crisis and how this is devastating our communities. We're seeing so many lives being
01:12:31.080lost. In that, we know that one of the ways to address that is by investing in some of the
01:12:36.400solutions like mental health services and rehabilitation services. Services keep our
01:12:40.740communities safe, having access to those good services. Both Mr. Carney and Mr. Polyev are
01:12:46.300proposing cutting government spending and cutting those services. That's not going to make our
01:12:50.200communities safer. We need to see better investments in rehabilitation services,
01:12:54.100more investments in mental health. We need to respond to this serious crisis in our country
01:12:59.340with care and compassion. I've met with Mom Stop the Harm, an organization of moms that have lost
01:13:05.240their children to this opioid overdose crisis. They've literally had their children have died
01:13:10.280because of this and they say they're saying we need to do everything possible to save lives
01:13:14.680to stop uh this death from happening and i think we need to listen to those moms and that's my
01:13:19.360commitment mr blanchet two things as rapidly as possible first we believe that we should act on
01:13:25.160crime gangs and organizations defining them as we do for terrorist organization we have to protect
01:13:32.740our kids from the violence of those gang from the drugs being sold by those gang from the
01:13:39.060Their guns and whatever else being sold.
01:18:55.900Build new pipelines to get our oil and gas to market.
01:18:59.520Well, it's not an approach I favor with public money.
01:19:02.260There's not any projects that are on the table, so it's not a specific project to look at.
01:19:06.220I favor when it comes to the environment building and east west energy grid that connects low cost energy and allows for families to reduce their electricity costs.
01:19:27.920I remember I met a mom a couple of years ago before I had kids who told me she was worried about taking her kids out on some days because of the forest fires in B.C.
01:19:36.040It meant that it was unsafe for kids to go outdoors.
01:19:38.520Fast forward to when I became a parent just a couple of years after that.
01:19:41.560And I literally worry about the same thing.
01:19:43.260the forest fires we saw a couple years ago meant that many places that didn't see this before saw
01:19:48.680days where there was such smoke in the air that it was dangerous for kids. We've seen extreme
01:19:54.740weather, forest fires, heat domes, floods impacting us. We've got to do everything we can to protect
01:20:00.660our future. Thank you, Mr. Singh. That's time. Mr. Polyev, where does fighting climate change
01:20:04.140land on your list of priorities when it comes to expanding energy opportunities in this country?
01:20:09.140It lands within our priorities of bringing home jobs while bringing down emissions around the world.
01:20:16.900Look, the reality is that if we push production out of our country to more polluting countries,
01:26:35.460I want to build on something Mr. Blanchet mentioned about the investments that this country has made.
01:26:40.020What I found very troubling is that the past number of years, the Liberal government record is one where we have spent the most subsidies compared to any other country in the G7 on subsidizing oil and gas.
01:26:54.580These are highly profitable companies.
01:27:31.140You want to apply a massive industrial carbon tax on Canadian mines, Canadian steel mills, Canadian aluminum plants, Canadian oil and gas plants.
01:27:42.080And your idea is to double the tax that Trump is applying by hitting them a second time.
01:27:47.760This will do nothing for the environment.
01:27:49.680It will actually ship our jobs south of the border just like President Trump wants.
01:27:56.200My plan is to bring that production home here to Canada.
01:27:59.600For example, I will give a tax credit to low-emitting Canadian industry like Quebec's aluminum, for example, or British Columbia's natural gas, so that we not only bring home the production, but we do it below global average levels of emissions so that we actually help the environment while bringing home the jobs for our people at the same time.
01:28:22.900That is a sensible, pragmatic approach that puts us in charge of our economic destiny
01:28:28.880so we can stand up to the Americans from a position of strength for a change.
01:29:44.74010 years from now and 20 years from now as the world uses less we want to have more market share
01:29:49.220we need to do that my government my government will move that but by definition a subsidy isn't
01:29:55.380when we buy a pipeline i'm talking about subsidies that go to oil and gas companies
01:30:00.180dependent separate from the country oil and gas companies that's what i'm talking about the figure
01:30:03.540you quoted last night uh included the cost of the pipeline do you want to address the dollars
01:30:07.140we're spending we got to stop spending sorry can we can we get you to address his point
01:30:10.100how much will the industrial carbon tax add to the price of a car so the first
01:30:14.660thing I want to say is we have I'm going to address the broader point well broader point
01:30:19.540is in the entire absence of a climate plan from mr. Polia which by the way is going to put our
01:30:26.580industry and our country at a disadvantage as we're looking for new trading partners guess what
01:30:32.660most people want to deepen our partnership in Europe in Asia those countries care about whether
01:30:38.260or not you've made progress second thing is we're designing a program so that the big polluters
01:30:44.340pay canadians at home for making responsible climate choices for retrofitting their home
01:30:51.300getting their emissions down or improving otherwise and that is smart climate policy
01:30:56.180it's better for the big polluters and it's better for canadians mr carney didn't answer my question
01:31:02.660i asked how much would the industrial carbon tax on canadian steel add to the price of a car he
01:31:09.540He won't answer because he knows that it will be very expensive because there's lots of steel in cars.
01:31:14.920Now, well, Mr. Carney has temporarily hid in the carbon casters thousands of dollars, thousands of dollars, extra costs.
01:31:23.200When you add taxes to steel, you raise the price of everything that uses steel.
01:31:32.640When you add the carbon tax onto the price of, for example, fertilizer, you increase the price of food.
01:31:44.100So while Mr. Carney has temporarily hidden the liberal carbon tax at the pumps while keeping the tax fully in law and planning to raise it after the election,
01:31:52.960he's also going after a tax on our industry that will ultimately be passed on to you.
01:31:58.140After a lost Liberal decade of rising costs, we cannot afford a fourth Liberal term.
01:32:04.040We need a new government that will fully axe the carbon tax,
01:32:08.720increase the jobs that we have here in Canada, and bring down your cost of living.
01:32:12.660We've got just a little over three minutes left in this segment.
01:32:14.800So, Mr. Singh, I want to ask you, do you think climate change is still a priority from Canadians?
01:32:18.680You're out there. What are you hearing?
01:32:20.620Absolutely. You speak to any young person and they think,
01:32:24.500we're seeing climate crisis in front of us happening right now.
01:32:28.140I speak to seniors who say, you know, we used to be able to live in our homes without air conditioning,
01:32:32.240and now we're seeing heat crises in communities that never had worries about extreme weather.
01:34:47.560That has been the approach of the last 10 years of the Liberal government.
01:34:51.620What the biggest companies that develop our resources say is that we need to repeal the liberal anti-development law, C-69, a law Mr. Carney wants to keep in place.
01:35:02.700They say we need to repeal the industrial carbon tax and get rid of the liberal energy cap.
01:35:07.840We need six months' approval in order to take back energy security and energy sovereignty.
01:35:33.580Canadian ingenuity, Canadian engineers, Canadian governments, both the federal government and the Alberta government got together and created, converted this.
01:42:29.360I would rapidly approve those projects on national security grounds so that we can actually ship Canadian natural gas over to Europe, break European dependence on Putin,
01:42:43.500defeat it in the war, and turn dollars for dictators back into paychecks for our people.
01:42:50.080Well, I want to go to the situation in Ukraine because it's very important.
01:42:53.660We've been a steadfast, Canada has been a steadfast ally, and Canadians have stepped up, welcoming Ukrainians into their homes and supporting them in other ways.
01:43:03.380You know, in my first month as Prime Minister, we joined the Coalition of the Willing to support Ukraine as the U.S. stepped back.
01:43:10.280So led by France, the United Kingdom, with Ukraine number, European nations, Australia or South New Zealand.
01:43:17.940an example of how the new world is going to be. Canada participating in these areas and helping.
01:43:24.100It also means open trade. Mr. Poliev voted against free trade agreement with Ukraine.
01:43:29.760It means aid for Ukraine. Mr. Poliev wants to cut foreign aid, including for Ukraine, or not.
01:43:35.120He didn't mention support for aid for Ukraine. We have to stand by them. We have to be there,0.99
01:43:40.760and this government has been. Mr. Singh. New Democrats absolutely support standing with
01:43:44.700in Ukraine and will continue to do that. But I appreciate the opportunity in talking about
01:43:48.860leadership in crisis, talk about many of the crises that we're up against. And one of the
01:43:53.060crises we're up against in our country with the threat of Donald Trump, with the threat of the
01:43:57.320trade war and with the privatization and Americanization of our health care system is the
01:44:02.620health care system. And what we have learned today, you know, Mr. Carney mentioned slowing
01:44:07.100operation spending. That's a cut to services. He said his plan, he has a plan to balance the
01:44:12.760operating budget within three years that's going to require massive cuts to spending we calculated
01:44:17.780that at 43 billion dollars in cuts in fact rosemary barton when he was on the show on february 16th
01:44:23.380he said it would cut spending he said it would be in operations he defined it as transfers in health
01:44:29.000and finally longtime liberal and former house leader karina gould said that mr carney's plans
01:44:35.260would mean massive cuts that's the only way to achieve it so mr carney do you think it is
01:44:41.000leadership to cut health care at a time when it is in crisis. I think it is wrong. We can't do that.
01:44:47.740We will not cut transfers for health care. We will not cut health care spending full stop.
01:44:52.500Who do we believe, Mr. Carney today or the one he spoke at on Rosemary Barton's show on February 16th, the one that repeated again that he would cut spending?
