Perfect. Thank you, Premier Moe.
Let me begin by pointing out comments that came from a sitting cabinet minister. The Minister of Rural Economic Development of Canada, Gudie Hutchings, suggests that it's “a discussion that we’ll have down the road when we know that this one is working, but I can tell you Atlantic caucus was vocal with what they’ve heard from their constituents, and perhaps they need to elect more Liberals in the Prairies so that we can have [the] conversation as well”. She directly linked the prospect of carbon tax carve-outs to voting Liberal.
Premier Moe, how has this changed your relationship with Ottawa? Has it given you and your prairie colleagues confidence that Ottawa is acting in good faith when it comes to the carbon tax?
