she outlined canada possible and canada's foreign-policy objectives. his remarks -- her remarks are just over 40 minutes. >> mr. speaker here is a question. is canada an essential country at this time in the life of our planet? most of us here would agree that it is but we are called to explain why and we are called to consider the consequences of what we must view as a consequence. international relationship seems immutable. for 17 years they are being called into question from europe to asia to our own north american home long-standing pass that form the bedrock of our security and prosperity for generations are being tested. in a new shared human imperative the fight against climate change first among them called for resolve. turning aside from our responsibility is not an option. instead we must think carefully and deeply about what's happening and find a way forward by definition the path we choose must be one that serves the interests of all canadians and upholds our broadly held national values. it preserves and nurtures canadian prosperity and

among many other places canada has been there. as the prime minister has often said, that is what canadians do. we step up. today it is worth reminding ourselves why we step up. why we devote time and resources to foreign policies and defense and development, why we have sent canadian soldiers, sailors, aviators, diplomats, aide workers, intelligence officers, doctors, nurses, medics and engineers into situations of danger, disaster and chaos overseas. even at times when canadian territory was not directly at risk. why do we spend billions on defense if we are not immediately threatened? for some countries, israel, latvia comes to mind, the answer is self-evident. countries that face a clear and immediate existential challenge know they need to spend on military and foreign policy and they know why. for a few lucky countries like canada and the united states, that feel protected by geography and good neighbors, the answer is less obvious. indeed you could easily imagine a canadian view that says, we are safe on our continent and w

let's say canada first. here is why that would be wrong. >> translator: first no foreign adversary is poised to invaders. we face clear challenges. climate change is by definition a shared menace affecting every single person on this planet. civil war, poverty, drought and national disasters anywhere in the world, not least because these catastrophes spohn globally destabilizing mass migrations. as an example the dictatorship in north korea and syria the extremism of da'ish and expansionism also are clear strategic threats the liberal democratic world including canada. our ability to act against such threats alone is limited. it requires cooperation with like-minded countries. >> canada's geography has meant that we have always been able to count on america's self-interest to provide a protective umbrella beneath which we have found indirect shelter. some even say we should therefore free ride on u.s. military power. why spend billions to maintain a capable professional well-funded and well it -- equipped mi

let's say canada first. here is why that would be wrong. >> translator: first no foreign adversary is poised to invaders. we face clear challenges. climate change is by definition a shared menace affecting every single person on this . >> not least these catastrophes to destabilize mass migration as an example with crimes against to manatee and syria with russian military is adventurism shows a clear strategic threat. our ability to act against such threats alone is limited and it requires cooperation with like-mindedli countries. >> with our geography we have always been able to have the protective umbrella . some even say we should rely on u.s. military power.tain a with professional well funded and community it is obvious. with the u.s. security umbrella and although there is a good relationship such dependence would not be in canada's interest.fair that is why it is clearly necessary with those strategic relationships of the united states is so critical is like pulling our weight in this partnership that

google is slapped with a multibillion dollar fine for spewing users' searches and say hacking agreement canada and china shake hands are not hacking each other stand by the us starts right now. a weaker dollar pushed oil prices up for a fourth consecutive session today it surged nearly two percent but oversupply kept those gains the organization of petroleum exporting countries and its partners have tried to reduce global crude glut with production cuts opec nations and the love and other export agreed in may to extend cuts of one point eight million barrels per day until march two thousand and eighteen russia is set to host an opec meeting next month when further cuts to production could be agreed upon but opec members nigeria and libya are exempt from the cuts and have pushed production on top of this u.s. production has risen about ten percent six since two thousand and sixteen it's now hit nine point four million barrels per day and u.s. oil rigs in operation have hit a three year high with u.s. exports of oil and natural gas surging president donald trump says the u.s. is set to dominate

you're seeing it in investment numbers in canada. companies are holding back, they're keeping cash, they're waiting to see overall. that's not good. you have a goal of restoring the united states to 3% or better growth. what guarantee can you give not only to canadian businesses that wish to invest, but also american businesses that wish to invest that tax reform in the fall will actually pass and be tax reform and not just, perhaps, a few tax measures and a few tax cuts? >> first of all, it's nice to see you here today. >> thank you. >> i can assure you nothing is higher on my priority list than getting tax reform done this year. i've been working on this since january. we have over a hundred people in the treasury that are working on it. i had multiple meetings this week with the house and the senate leadership. the president and the vice president participated in one of those meetings in the roosevelt room at the white house. i n te you we e all focused on getting this done this year, and we'll do caneryto it. it is critical for e

/canada energy relationship? mr. gerard: i'm not sure what he was talking about at that time either. our view is as long as the border is open, i think some of the irritants that the president may have been referencing -- i would have to see this quote -- might have been over the keystone xl pipeline conversation. in our view that was totally unnecessary. through multiple reviews it showed there was minimal impact to the environment. yet once again it was consistent with free-trade principles allowing some of the heavy oil production from the oil to essentially be brought to the united states. much of our midwest refinery capacity relies on heavy oil coming in from canada. i am not sure what other irritants he may have been referencing at the time. at the time the keystone pipeline was a big part of the conversation and that may have been what he was talking about. mr. grumet: right up front. the national>> association of foreign trade zones. i was interested to hear your thoughts or concerns if an overarching object

canada and china have signed and and say hacking agreement to protect the nations from each other the measure is one of many security issues the countries are working on as their economic relationship deepens parties in toronto with more alex give us the details on this very interesting agreement. it's a very interesting agreement indeed canada and china have agreed not to hack each other so when it comes to trade secrets or business information they're not allowed to steal it from each other because felix was somehow permitted prior to this agreement i don't really understand why here let's hear from the prime minister's office itself here's a here's a quote from them and it's a pretty interesting here the two sides agree that neither country's government would conduct or knowingly support cyber enable duffed of intellectual property including trade secrets or other confidential business information with the intent of providing competitive advantages to companies or commercial sectors so what that says basically we're not going to steal from each other anymore at least as not to be g

i tell him canada is the best. canada is the best for me. my neighbours, the street, anywhere, they ask is where we are from. "welcome, welcome!" and they have offered, if we want help. but canada cannot escape the scars of its past. these are the lands of the iroquois, building their traditional long houses. some indigenous groups, native canadians, are boycotting the birthday celebrations. for many, the past 150 years have seen lands taken and promises broken. we were here, we look back further than 150 years. because we have been here for thousands of years. and you think canadians are celebrating, well, not everybody who lives in this country is celebrating 150 years of canada. the first nations people are not. and then there's the british connection. today, prince charles was in the small town of wellington beside lake ontario. one day, if things remain as they are, he will be canadian head of state. many in the crowd want to retain the british ties but elsewhere, some are less sure. at this anniversary, canadians are celebrating their

so it's way beyond a problem with canada. it's something we are engaged on and that we have heard from not only members from ohio but also members from wisconsin and all over the place and it is something that we want to deal with the context of nafta, and i have a -- our agriculture people at usgr are engaged and have a variety of options. >> mr. ambassador, i'm an avid motorcycle rider and vice president pence is a motorcycle rider. on the eu-beef -- motorcycles on the approved list for 100% import tariff, specifically 51cc to 500cc. if tariff goes into effect it would do economic harm to motorcycle dealerships and facilitied in state of ohio and impact domestic consumers. my question to you is a number of us in congress have expressed corn over the import tariff proposals on motorcycles and how harmful on the constituents. would you withdraw motorcycles from the import list in the trade dispute? >> well, my hope is we'll negotiate our way out of this and that is our objective -- i realize there are a variety of products th

budget tell us about that well aside from syria president trump seems to be very happy with canada's giving justin trudeau a big old pat on the back for saying that our military budgets expanded to thirty two point seven billion over the next ten years that's a seventy percent jump for canada now this probably falls into the mix and it's good reasoning behind it you know to get a little bit closer to trump with the american administration trump said that he wants to see nato countries use about two percent of their g.d.p. for the defense spending and that's exactly what we're seeing this maneuvering here doing basically so this is a huge amount of money but according to a lot of politicians here in canada they're saying you know it's even good that canada has to play a bigger role in defense to become a bigger player and all the other canadians will argue you know what we're very happy being the peacekeepers. to be and that the canadian military budget was spending more on the military is just simply not a role that canada wants to play on this planet all right interesting stuff abou

and many conservatives in america will tell you that our neighbor to the north canada is soft it's a country that prides itself on liberal values universal health care and immigration policies that welcome refugees instead of turning them away one of us conservative however seems to think canada has some things right when it comes to immigration you may be surprised to hear that man is president donald trump with more on this artist out some highlights joins us from toronto alex trump talks about building the wall deporting people and what does that have to do with canadian immigration policies though. also interesting if you listened to president donald trump on a couple of occasions including that state of the union address now just last week in iowa he's talking about mimicking the canadian system of immigration i'm going to quote from him he wants a total rewrite of our immigration system into a merit based system and guess what canada as a merit based system we allow a lot of immigrants into this country a record last year of three hundred twenty thousand you know it sounds huge

some sweeteners, ethanol goes into canada. and our livestock friends, you know, we have feed lots here that feed corn to the cat and the poultry and hogs and canada imports a lot of our livestock products. it's a big part of our trade barrier there. >> let me open this up to questions in a few minutes if people want to start thinking about that. i want to ask you a little bit about the parlor game of prognostication. always challenging, probably ever more so now than ever before in my experience. do you think congress should resolve this? should the administration resolve it? what do you think? obviously, you know, something is going to change with this agreement. do you have any suggestion, for the best process to achieve that? what about you, jack? i was waiting for chip to answer that one. >> well, as you know, through the process that's been established, the president has given notice to congress in their interaction back and forth. i think they both have a role to play. and the appropriate level of each, i think, at the e

canada's new class six and seven pricing tools seem designed to let canada have its cake and eat it, too, at its expense. the programs are a concern not only companies exporting to canada but also around the world since the canadian programs are designed to undercut our sales on both fronts. how do we tackle the problems facing us now with canada on care dairy and find a way forward to establish more open trades with them on dairy? >> well, first of all, if you had said -- i would have paid more attention. but seriously, we are very much aware of this issue. i have talked to the administer in canada about it. and as you say, the way to think about it is exactly the way you put it. this is not just about exports from the united states to canada. this is about the exports of the united states to everywhere because they have created such a -- really as a byproduct, such a volume of dried skim milk that they could knock us out of markets everywhere. so it is way beyond a problem just out of canada. it is something we are engaged on and that we've heard from not only members from ohio but

canada once from the fuel canadian. as soon as possible. somebody asked me like canada. and i tell i tell him. canada is at best. canada is the best for me. my neighbor or just three. i know it in the. i sky us would you from. as well we come we come and say happy what do you need if you want to head. but canada cannot escape the scars of its past. these are the lands of the iroquois. building that traditional longhouses. some indigenous groups native canadians are boycotting the birthday celebrations. for many the pasta hundred and fifty years have seen the land taken and promises broken. we were here we look back further than a hundred and fifty years because we've been here for thousands of years. and then you know you're saying canadians are celebrating mal not everybody that lives in this country is celebrating. a hundred and fifty years of talent the first nations people are. and then who's the. today prince charles was in the small town of wellington beside lake ontario. if anyone they need schools no. this one day. his remain as they are he'll be canadian head of

so much it will happen initially in china canada australia south korea and the build room sweden a few other countries which borrowed their wife through the profit through the cross with more profit falling on them and causing credit growth when the other economies were collapsing about your loans she's very appropriately managing a zombie economy the american. american economy is never going to revive again in the way i did back in the not in. because of the overhang of debt which is what todd the japanese of all this stuff was predictable the only way the only way you cannot predict this if you believe mindstream a comic theory and this is the best evidence of had for a long time that we should get rid of my instrument can all mix because if it leads people in managerial positions like elam's to believe that one big across is coming she will be totally unprepared when the american economy starts to go backwards courtesy for putting up interest rates and causing another delay verging chill certain to be unprepared when countries like australia canada china and so on career and so on s

there is five times more dairy exports from the united states to canada than there are from canada to the united states. so, you know, dairy exports from the united states have been up substantially over the last few years. we're happy to talk about, about any aspect of the deal but i think, you know, what secretary ross said last week i think is really important, commerce secretary ross. he said first do no harm. i think we've got to keep that in mind. that is we can build on that relationship, we can make it better for america, make it better for canada and better for mexico, but we have to be careful we don't do things that will harm u.s. workers. there are nine million jobs in the united states that are dependent on trade with canada. i don't think we want to see that disrupted. liz: well we've been perusing the, going through, sifting through some of these 11,000 comments, and i was on the website looking at it. it is the u.s. trade representative regulatory page that anybody can look at by the way. again you have until 9:00 p.m. eastern to make a comment but there are people, th

freeland in canada about-- about it. as you say the way to think about it is exactly the way you put it. it's not just about exports to canada for its exports from the united states to everywhere because they have created such really-- such a volume of milk that they can knock us out of markets everywhere, so it's way beyond just a problem with canada. it's something we are engaged on and making sure that not only from members from ohio, and wisconsin and all over. it's a something we want to deal with in the context of nafta and our agriculture people are engaged and have a variety of options that we are looking at right now. >> thank you. >> mr. ambassador, i'm an avid motorcycle rider and i learned this past week the vice president is also a avid motorcycle rider, but on the hormone trade dispute issue motorcycles are on the list for 100% import tariffs the cynically 51 cc to 500 cc-- ceci. if this goes into effect it would economic harm to motorcycle dealerships in the state of ohio and seriously impact domestic cons

chrystia freeland is canada's foreign minister. and in a strong, important speech to her nation's parliament, she said canada was deeply disappointed by the president's climate decision, although she didn't mention him by name, and provided a solution. minister freeland suggested the ways canada could step up its global leadership. she joins me now. welcome. >> great to be with you, fareed. >> you spoke in the speech almost elegiacally about the important role america had played in creating and sustaining this open international order. but you think it's basically moved on, that american has withdrawn from the world? >> it's not my job to make predictions, fareed. i did say in my speech, and i mean this so sincerely, how grateful i am, how grateful canada is for the tremendous role the united states has played over the past 70 years in building this rules-based liberal international order. first of all, i think we maybe don't say that often enough to our american friends. and i also think that people of my generation and perhaps yo

why do we not negotiate nationally with pharmaceuticals to reduce the cost as countries like canada do. i think we can do that without having socialized medicine. thank you. john: as julie rovner pointed out, members of congress did have to go on from the afford with kerouac with members of their staff after that. we focused on that about a month or two ago. health-care plans for members of congress. all of our segments are available online at c-span.org. is in silverdale, washington, line for democrats. go ahead. caller: it is time we all face the truth. we are dying out here. republicans and democrats alike. all the pollution you put in our waters and in our airways. the united states government has backed those corporations. -- you can'ttry put 22 million people under the bus. and treat them like they were just dirt. you can sweep them under the carpet? we are here. republican policies have made this all possible for us being so sick. with many other diagnoses. the environmental policies trump the rules.back it is time we have universal health care. we don't care who pays the bills.

it may prompt canada to be assertive in promoting its own identity. gavin hewitt, bbc news, canada. andy murray will begin his defence of his wimbledon title against a player ranked 134 in the world, when the championships begin on monday. he pulled out of his last warm—up game today because of a hip problem, but was practising on the grass at the all england club. murray is drawn in the same half as the french open champion, rafael nadal, and stan wawrinka. the british cyclist chris froome will attempt to defend his title when the tour de france begins tomorrow. he's hoping to complete his third straight win and a fourth victory in five years. but he faces stiff competition from some the world's leading cyclists. the race begins in dusseldorf in germany, from where richard conway reports. chris froome becomes the first briton to retain the tour de france title... chris froome knows what it takes to win the tour de france. tomorrow, he starts his quest for a fourth victory in this famous race. media interest is always sky—high, but this year, froome's team roll off the start lin

for australia and canada. when my constituents would like to know is are these negotiations regarding additional access to the u.s. sugar market going to be on the table with canada and mexico? >> we have with respect with mexico we have an agreement entered into a suspension on its and the likely that that will change in the context of nafta. with respect to mexico and canada and something members care about will be informed by what the members user and we will take note of the fact that you're concerned about it. the biggest sugar issue we have right now is mexico and context of that litigation that we have a suspension agreement which will probably have that with negotiation. >> i served as cochair with something called the sugar caucus. of course chicago used to be known for the candy capital of america. our members are expressing serious concern about the continuing domestic rise in sugar price which is actually caused already a number of our companies and corporations and entities to move or relocate out

a problem with canada. it is something we are engaged on and that we have heard from not only members from ohio, but also members from all ohio and -- members from wisconsin and all over the place. people aretural engaged. they have a variety of options we are looking at right now. >> think you. i am an avid motorcycle rider. i understand the vice president is also one. on the hormone trade dispute they --otorcycles are have a 100% import tariff. if this goes into effect, it would do economic harm to motorcycle dealerships and facilities in the state of ohio and impact domestic consumers. congressof us in the expressed our concern with the import tariff proposal on motorcycles and how harmful it would be on her constituents. would you withdraw motorcycles on the improved import tariff list in the eu-u.s. trade dispute? hope is we will negotiate our way out of this. that is our objective. i realize there are a variety of products that are on the potential list and nothing has happened to anybody at this poin

in january 2017, ustr requested wto dispute settlement consultations with canada on this matter. but the consultations failed to bring about any type of rotary access for american winemakers. given canada's continued refusal to modify its discriminatory ram in any way, will ustr network to fully enforce us rights under the wto agreement and formally request the settlement counts? >> harassment, i'm of course very much aware of this problem. i completely agree with the sentiment of your question. whether we go to the panel page is something that's under review right now. you can take from my general attitude that i'm very pro-enforcement. the only caveat i would add is this is something you are better off dealing with in a nafta negotiation so we have to think about that and the stakeholders have to think about it, members have to

not suspects, but victims of that wily woman up in canada. when you heard that chris' life is being controlled and ruined by this woman, what did you think? >> i was mad as hell. >> reporter: even after getting arrested and agreeing to stay off the internet, shelly chartier, the catfish, is back online. >> she now meets this individual, rob marku, online. a young man from new york. >> reporter: marku is 23. he lives in brooklyn, new york, and works as a furniture mover. he meets shelly playing xbox live. >> she sent me a message and i responded and it kind of went back and forth and we took it from there. >> reporter: as rob and shelly grow closer from afar, his family gets suspicious. >> a lot of them would say things like, oh, maybe she's not even real. they're using you and all types of stuff and i said, no, i know for a fact that she's real and i'll prove it. >> reporter: rob doesn't know he's falling for the woman we now know as the catfish. >> she makes me laugh a lot and she's cute. >> reporter: and despite the warnings, he heads to ca

see how it's moving out of canada. that's what's been giving us the nice warm air, that arm wear coming out of canada. canada celebrating 150 years. just wanted to let you know. they're sending us their nice warm -- cool air. thank you very much canada but the hot air to the west is making its way in here and it'll stay here the next couple of days and because of that we're talking about that heat wave moving in with temperatures into the 90s. here comes the heat but not too humid tomorrow. i think the humidity really ramps up on friday and on saturday. tomorrow at the pool, beautiful. 88 degrees around 2:00, 90 degrees around 4:00. great day to hit the pool and here's that ten-day forecast. showing the extent of this heat wave. seven days is what i've got at 90 degrees or higher. take a look at friday with monday starting off next week around 94. you look at this holiday weekend and it's a long one. it's going to be on the hot side for sure and if you're getting out to see the fourth of july fireworks. i think we'll b

you get it in canada. if it isn't on the formulary, you hop across the border and you get it in the united states at full cost. and that's a form of rationing. you know, based upon, you know, what kind of drug you need. and that ends up having the government end up being between the patient and their doctor in determines what the best way is to treat a patient. and in some cases, the way things work is that it's too late. you know, i'm familiar, you know, with a boarding school that is close to the border in canada. prime minister's granddaughter went there. our cdc said that it was a good thing to have all these kids in dorms get meningitis vaccine. good medicine. i don't think anybody could disagree with that. the doctor at that school asked for 800 doses of meningitis vaccine and was told that the niagara regional medical authority refused to give it to him even though the prime minister's granddaughter was there. they refused to give it to him even -- >> your son who was getting the meningitis shot. an

so when we're talking about canada and its role in syria the role is not going to be changing canada will not be entering the syrian arena in any bigger capacity than it already has and there is the possibility that it might be even pulling out diplomacy is diplomacy you're not going to hear too much at this point and obviously they're going to be walking old very quietly with the canadian government not trying to offend anybody but at the same time the canadian the defense national defense wants to take care of our own troops and our own pilots and make sure that nobody is harmed all right thanks so much alice will of it's from toronto thanks for that live report now we turn to gareth porter historian investigative journalist and national security policy analyst thank you so much for joining us today and so first i want to talk about you know the russian deputy foreign minister has come out and said the u.s. led coalition attack on the syrian government is an act of aggression possibly a breach of international law and they've come out further to say that the u.s. is trying to defea
