00:00Mark Ramsey with the Toronto Star.
00:02Prime Minister, what do you make of the Trump administration's...
00:05...meetings with Alberta separatists and the comments of Secretary Besant?
00:08Is this foreign interference?
00:10From the U.S.?
00:12You know...
00:15The governments that are going to make a difference to Canada...
00:20...to Alberta, to Canada, are at this table.
00:25I guess alongside with municipalities and working with our...
00:30...indigenous partners and the focus of the meeting...
00:35...last night, today, the meeting of the Council Federation before that...
00:40...is how we come together and build.
00:42How we build a better country, how we build safer communities.
00:45A number of specific points were just referenced by Premiers...
00:50...and Evie and Smith from addressing extortion.
00:55...of crime in the community.
00:56I know Premier Ford and I have been very focused on this as well.
01:00...as we have across the country.
01:02I appreciate the support of the Premiers...
01:04...all the Premiers...
01:05...for Bill C-14.
01:06It's part of a bigger picture of measures that need to be...
01:10...taken.
01:11...and just the power, I'm going to stop on...
01:15...just the sheer power of what we're...
01:20...starting to do and intend to do on the energy side.
01:23...being strong...
01:25...together...
01:26...linking together our systems...
01:27...doubling the size of our electricity grid...
01:30...expanding our clean energy advantage...
01:31...doing it in a way that's affordable for Canadians...
01:33...using all our sources...
01:35...of energy...
01:36...to build this economy...
01:37...to all markets around...
01:40...the world...
01:41...makes this country stronger...
01:45...and makes those conversations...
01:47...less relevant.
01:48With respect, Prime Minister...
01:50...if you could answer the question...
01:51...on how you view the actions...
01:52...of the US administration here...
01:54...but for my second question...
01:55...for Premier Smith...
01:57...Premier Ford called on you this morning...
01:59...to denounce this...
02:00...the separatist movement...
02:01...I understand you said...
02:02...you don't want to demonize anyone...
02:03...but they are seeking the help...
02:04...of the United States...
02:05...government...
02:06...so what's your response to that...
02:07...and Prime Minister...
02:08...if you could please answer the question...
02:10...well I would...
02:11...I would expect...
02:12...that the US administration...
02:13...would respect...
02:15...Canadian sovereignty...
02:16...and that they would...
02:17...confine their discussion...
02:18...about...
02:19...
02:20...of Alberta's democratic process...
02:21...to Albertans...
02:22...and to Canadians...
02:23...and I've...
02:24...
02:25...I will raise that...
02:26...with...
02:27...my...
02:28...delegate...
02:29...in Washington...
02:30...so he can...
02:30...raise it with members of the...
02:31...administration...
02:32...and I will...
02:33...raise it with my...
02:34...delegate in Ottawa...
02:35...so he can...
02:36Ah, I fully associate myself with
02:41premier Smith's comments just then. I expect the U.S. administration to respect Canadian
02:46sovereignty. I'm always clear in my conversation with President Trump to that effect.
02:51And then move on to what we can do together. Thank you.
02:55Next question.
