00:00Good afternoon. Welcome everyone. Bonjour tout le monde.
00:07Two months ago, I was at a rink in Edmonton where I'd learned to play hockey. That's about
00:12as far as you can get from the grandeur of Rideau Hall. And I was there because I was
00:18putting up my hand to run for the leadership of the Liberal Party of Canada. And I was
00:24doing that because I knew our country needed to take action. We needed to act to fix our
00:32economy. We needed to act to fight the Americans. We needed to act to deal with Donald Trump's
00:40tariffs. We eliminated the tax on carbon for consumers, for small businesses, and for farmers
00:47to end the division that it was creating amongst Canadians. Because we are stronger together.
00:57We reversed the increase in the capital gains tax so that builders are encouraged to take
01:01risks and be rewarded when they succeed. When I met with the premiers in Ottawa on Friday,
01:10we agreed to eliminate barriers to trade and mobility inside our country. And the federal
01:16government is leading by committing to legislate the end of all federal barriers to interprovincial
01:22trade by July 1st. Together, we will push to create one Canadian economy by Canada Day.
01:32Because we are stronger together. This past week, we acted to protect workers using the
01:40proceeds of our retaliatory tariffs against America's unjustified trade actions. We acted
01:47to unlock major infrastructure projects and get them moving rapidly, including clean and
01:52conventional energy, critical minerals, and new trade corridors with reliable trading
01:58partners. We acted to create new supports for farmers and businesses during this trade
02:03war. We expanded dental care for millions of more Canadians. And we took all of these
02:11actions and more to create the foundation to build a stronger Canada. There is so much
02:19more to do to secure Canada, to invest in Canada, to build Canada, to unite Canada.
02:29That's why I'm asking for a strong, positive mandate from my fellow Canadians. I've just
02:36requested that the Governor General dissolve Parliament and call it an election for April
02:4322nd.
