Learn English with the Prime Minister of Canada, Justin Trudeau. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau responds to a question from the Speaker of the House of Commons on the morning of the attack at the U.S. border crossing between Canada and the United States.
00:00:00.000Do you think it was responsible for you to call yesterday's explosion by the customs, by the checkpoint at the Rainbow Bridge, terrorism, when no U.S. or Canadian officials said that was, like, authorities said that was the case, and when the New York governor also said there was no evidence to suggest terrorism activity?
00:00:17.960Actually, you're wrong. Are you with CP? Okay, so CP, by the way, CP, just for everyone's knowledge, did have to make three corrections for falsehoods that they put into a single article. I think that might be unprecedented. I'm actually thinking about checking with the Guinness Book of World Records to see if there's ever been a news agency that has had to issue three corrections for patent falsehoods that they admit they had been made in one single article, and now you've made yet another falsehood in your question.
00:00:46.800Where you are wrong is that CTV reported that the government of Canada was presuming that the incident was terrorist. So, yeah, that was, and that's what I said in my remarks. You're right. It was a media report.
00:01:01.440But it's citing media reports and not.
00:01:03.780Which is what I said. In the House, I said there are media reports.
00:01:08.320And you think that's a responsible thing to go on? I mean, that kind of was a statement at the time about speaking.
00:01:24.940What I said, and I was right, was that there were media reports of a terror-related event.
00:01:34.380By your admission, there were media reports of a terror-related event.
00:01:39.700And that media report, according to CTV, unless you're questioning their integrity now, came from security officials in the Trudeau government.
00:01:49.300So, do you think the CTV was irresponsible in putting out that tweet?
00:01:53.680Do you think it was a responsible comment to make it happen?
00:01:59.340Do you, sorry, I'm asking, I have already answered that.
00:02:02.560Do you, do you think CTV was irresponsible to put that tweet out?
00:02:11.420I just hope you're not going to print something that you have to apologize for again.
00:02:19.440Mr. Speaker, we've just heard media reports of a terrorist attack, an explosion at the Niagara crossing of the Canada-U.S. border.
00:02:30.280Two people, at least two people are dead.
00:02:32.080One is injured, it is the principal responsibility of government to protect the people.
00:02:39.040Can the Prime Minister give us an update on what he knows and what action plan he will immediately implement to bring home security for our people?
