00:00First, we reaffirmed our commitment to Ukraine's long-term prosperity, security, and defense.
00:10Canada has made it a priority of our G7 presidency to maintain and strengthen our support for Ukraine at every opportunity.
00:19We also turned our attention to the Middle East, to the urgent need for a path toward peace and lasting stability.
00:27We reiterated our support for the U.S. Comprehensive Peace Plan to end the Gaza conflict.
00:36And we continue to call for the unimpeded flow of humanitarian aid.
00:41Secretary Rubio and I do have a very good working relationship.
00:45And he himself will reiterate that his role is not on the trade file.
00:51And so we find ourselves in a position where we are building the relationship between our two countries without question.
01:00And in terms of Canadian efforts, I will say that we have been under Operation Karib and the Canadian Armed Forces supporting the U.S. Coast Guard, intercepting narcotics destined for North America.
01:20We're continuing to monitor the situation, but we have no involvement in the operations that you're referring to.
01:28I have not seen his comments.
01:31The issue was not raised at our meeting.
01:34As Canada's foreign minister, I hold responsibility for Canada's compliance with international law.
01:42We are always seeking to comply with international law.
01:46And regarding the question that you asked,
01:51I would say that it is within the purview of U.S. authorities to make that determination.
