And they're feeling at home within Canada where there's the Quebec dynamic, but also the French language dynamic outside of Quebec and balancing that.
Understanding that it's an economic portfolio.
Understanding that we have an obligation to...
to to make sure that we're united as a country but also respectful of its constituent parts it's a big portfolio it's the third largest portfolio in the government of canada by the way third largest in terms of the numbers of acts of parliament its footprint the number of programs they're responsible for it has a key role and this is where mark miller will learn has a key role as well in the canada u.s relationship in terms of culture protecting cultural intellectual property law and all that so it's a it's a very big portfolio and it shouldn't be sort of seen as one where you're
kind of give it to somebody who should be in cabinet but we don't really kind of kind of know what to do with this person like i think they did with stephen guilbeault which is we want to have him in cabinet we want to fence him off from from environment but he's an important quebec voice so we'll make him minister of heritage and for the first year or for the second bite of the apple that he's had his heritage minister he didn't do anything and then now he got to do his grand exit and now you have a rift with quebec so it's
It's a delicate portfolio that I don't think people think about enough in terms of what it means for policy and a sense of Canadian unity.
Well, when I think about, frankly, the conservative universe in Pierre Pellet and how close he is to being prime minister, and he still is close to being prime minister, right, is that one of the things that one of the hurdles he needs to jump over, Canadians are going to trust him to be the prime minister of the country.
He needs to be seen as one of the most voracious fighters on behalf of Canada.
I'm hopeful that once he gets past his leadership review in the Conservative Party and he's won his by-election now in Bow River in Alberta, that he will then pivot and become an aggressive, like as a British Columbian, as a non-Albertan, I want my future prime minister to stare down the threats to Canadian unity.
Because of Donald Trump, because of the global dynamics, because of the fragility of the Canadian economy and the anxiety that a lot of us feel,
I want my prime minister to be the most aggressive pro-Canada person that there could possibly be.
And that means you stare down Canada's enemies.
You stare down the Donald Trump responsibly.
I don't mean belligerence and being aggressive, but you stare down in terms of your robustness and substance in the way in which you engage the administration and you're thoughtful about public policy.
But also you stare down the people who are threats to Canada within our own borders.
You know, Peter Lougheed, I'm an Albertan, I'm an unproud Albertan, but I'm a Canadian first.
I want to hear it.
We
need to hear daniel smith say that and she said that last week with the mou she said that in substance and and i we need to see pierre polliev and anybody who aspires to be prime minister to be canada's greatest defender
Minister unless you are Canada's absolute greatest defender.
