01:06Question one follow.

01:10We'll start with Ashley Burke from CBC.
01:13MS.
01:14Good morning, Prime Minister.
01:15What specifically do you want to get out of your first in-person meeting with President
01:18Trump, and will you be focused on trying to get the tariffs lifted?
01:22Thank you for the question.
01:24For the first meeting, as I mentioned in my remarks, and the President and I discussed
01:30when we had our constructive call, there are two sets of issues.
01:33There are the immediate tariffs, both sectoral and so-called reciprocal and fentanyl tariffs,
01:41and then there is the broader relationship.
01:43So addressing both sets of issues, we'll see how that progress goes.
01:48It's important to get engaged immediately, which has always been my intention, has always
01:53been his intention.
01:55And I'm pleased to have the opportunity for quite a comprehensive set of meetings.
