00:00For over a year, Canada has worked intensively and in good faith with the United States to negotiate a new
00:07comprehensive trade deal.
00:09We've been under no illusions.
00:12We recognized from the start that America has changed.
00:17Canada will match Washington's new tariffs dollar for dollar in order to protect Canadian workers, farmers, families and businesses.
00:27Our response will be concentrated in sectors such as steel, dairy, appliances, agricultural equipment, pulp and paper, electronics.
00:36This is a focused response.
00:38A focused response to protect and defend our industries and allow them to compete with U.S. products in the
00:45Canadian market.
00:46We take this step reluctantly.
00:49Reluctantly because we recognize that some of these measures will raise costs and reduce choice for Canadians.
00:57Reluctantly because we recognize that some U.S. companies and some U.S. states are innocent bystanders in a dispute
01:03that they did not want.
01:06Reluctantly because this trade dispute is preventing Canada and America from doing so much good that we could do together.
01:14But at the same time, we take this step confident that it is in the best interest of Canada.
01:22And that by rejecting a bad deal, by standing up for Canada, by focusing on what we can control, we
01:27will build Canada strong for all.
