hi Jared Jagger here with the Western
0:02
Standard so yesterday at your rally you
0:04
said Pierre Poliov's plan is to quote
0:06
divide and be conquered uh as of now
0:09
Canada's reliant on the US to get our
0:11
own oil from one side of the country to
0:13
the other by not repealing Bill C69 and
0:16
allowing Quebec to veto a pipeline
0:17
across Canada are you not yourself
0:19
setting up Canada to be divided and
0:21
conquered absolutely not um in fact in
0:25
the premise of your question you answer
0:27
it u which is if we are going to build
0:30
and I am a proponent of building big
0:33
energy infrastructure in this country
0:35
but if we are going to build big energy
0:37
infrastructure in this country um there
0:40
is a we in that it is not imposed it is
0:43
not imposed by the federal government
0:46
it's not imposed by an opposition
0:48
politician it's not imposed by a company
0:50
it requires the support
0:53
of in the example you gave uh in energy
0:56
east of Quebec the other provinces that
0:58
are affected uh it requires uh the
1:01
support the free prior and informed
1:03
consent of uh first nations uh so that's
1:08
that's the the exact opposite uh which
1:10
is that coming together to build now
1:12
what I've proposed uh both at the first
1:15
minister's uh level um and more broadly
1:20
is that we as a country use this crisis
1:23
to identify those projects of national
1:25
interest um many of which not all of
1:27
which but many of which are energy
1:29
infrastructure projects so that we can
1:31
get those agreements so that we can come
1:33
together and we can accelerate and last
1:36
point with respect to C69
1:39
um what I've also been clear about is
1:41
the ability under C69 not as it was but
1:45
as it is uh and the minister uh of
1:48
natural resources Mr wilkinson is here
1:51
uh as it is under his
1:53
leadership we have an ability to rely on
1:58
as appropriate impact assessments that
2:00
are uh performed uh at different levels
2:03
of government um and that is part and
2:06
parcel of how we can make this work
2:09
so I I reject I reject the question but
2:12
I hope I've uh provided some
2:14
illumination thank you
