00:00What are your goals in terms of trade as well? Will you be bringing up transnational repression and the killing
00:07and the investigations into the killing of Hardeep Signature and other acts on Canadian soil?
00:12Thank you for that question. Of course, the security situation at home and abroad in terms of Canadians is of
00:28extreme concern and priority for us as a government of Canada.
00:32When I was in India in October, for example, I repeatedly raised issues relating to domestic rule of law concerns,
00:44security concerns, and transnational repression.
00:49This is the basic necessity for the Minister of Foreign Affairs to ensure that the safety and security interests of
01:00Canadians is protected.
01:01So the answer to your question is yes. That is always at the forefront of our minds.
01:07In addition, at this moment in time, we are ensuring that we diversify trade relationships.
01:16That has meant signing 12 trade agreements over the last six months over four continents.
01:26But the priority sequence is to ensure the safety and security and rule of law concerns of Canadians are advanced
01:35at all times.
01:37In French, of course, of course. When I was in India during the month of October, I highlighted the importance
01:48of the domestic law law here in Canada and the Canadian interests and also the human rights.
02:00That is always, always.
02:06In the meantime, it is always on my own.
02:08In the meantime, it is a time when we must diversify our economic relations.
02:13So, we're going to continue to push the Canadian interests.
02:20That means the interests of the domestic security situation and also the domestic rights.
02:31But also, we're going to continue to advance, to highlight the importance of our economic relations.
02:41That means the relations with the commercial interests.
02:49So, these are two things, but it's a priority for the situation with the security for our domestic population.
02:59First and second, to advance our economic interests.
03:06Thank you very much.
03:07The students were hurt in the violence in Mexico.
03:10You gave a number, and I'm getting a question from an editor.
03:14I just wanted to clarify that.
03:15We are currently in contact with them.
03:18They are non-life-threatening injuries.
03:21I am not able to provide further details until we ensure that we have accurate facts.
03:30I want to reiterate, of the 8,000 people who have registered, we have three consular cases.
03:38Two of those consular cases relate to Canadians who have non-life-threatening injuries.
03:44One consular case relates to a Canadian who would like financial assistance.
03:52Thank you very much.
03:53Thanks so much.
03:55Thanks.
