Prime Minister Carney

I believe the progress that we have made in the partnership

sets us up well for the new world order.

They're at our border. We can't ignore them. But we're going to do deals elsewhere. That's what we're focused on. Here, play this clip. As we develop our new trade relationship with the United States, Canada will continue to take all measures necessary to support Canadian workers, our businesses, and our consumers. To address challenges in strategic sectors from agriculture to autos,

The Canadian government will soon announce a new comprehensive industrial strategy that protects Canadian jobs, boosts Canadian competitiveness, buys Canadian goods and diversifies Canadian exports. In parallel, we are focused on building our strength here at home, building Canada strong.

The Canadian government will soon select the first in a series of new nation-building projects that will connect and transform our economy. We will catalyze investment and create higher-paying careers through our new defense industrial strategy. We will transform Canadian strategic sectors that are being severely impacted by U.S. trade. We will work to double the pace of home building in Canada, and in the process create a new Canadian housing industry.

and we will develop new and stronger partnerships throughout the world. For decades, as a result of a series of trade agreements, starting with the Free Trade Agreement of the 1980s, the Canadian and the US economies have become steadily more integrated, continually more deeply connected. As I've emphasized in recent months, that steady process of integration is now over.

As a result, some of our historic strengths have become vulnerabilities. We can and must adapt to this new reality. That means concentrating on trade, investment and security partnerships that preserve our sovereignty. And it means striking new trade deals that are robust to different economic circumstances, different governments, because of the mutual benefits to both countries.

In all these ways, Canada will move from reliance to resilience, building our strength at home, developing new markets abroad, creating new opportunities for Canadian workers and businesses as we build the strongest economy in the G7.

I'm very much looking forward to meeting with the chancellor, members of his cabinet, a number of German businesses next week, next Tuesday. And it's picking up on discussions that we have had since we first met in Rome in April.

subsequently at the G7 and along the way, about how we can deepen our economic and security partnership with Germany, how we can turn the opportunities that exist already under CETA, our free trade agreement with Europe, but also across broader areas and how we work and develop those. So I have a broader delegation with the Minister of Natural Resources, for example, that will be there,

The Minister of Defense will be there, the Minister of Industry will come as well, because there's a broad range of areas from critical minerals to energy and defense and security, where we are intensifying our discussions with Germany. Many opportunities. As I say, it started in the spring.

Moves with this meeting. And we have a good partnership. Canada has a good partnership with Germany. It's been built up over the years. But it can be much, much better. And I'm confident that with this chancellor and the focus of our government that it will be.

So we are matching something the Americans have done. And it's very significant, it's unique, we get the benefit. The second thing is, you know, and I'll take your analogy. And I have played some hockey over the years. And there is a time in a game, in a big game, and this is a big game, when

You go hard in the corners, you elbows up. The time in a game, we drop the gloves in the first period and you send a message. And we've done that. Pretty uniquely in the world. We happen to have the best deal with the Americans right now. I don't. But there's also a time in a game where you want the puck, you want a stick handle, you want a pass, you want to put the puck in the net. And we're moving later into the game. And we're at that time in the game. And that's where the engagement.
