Economic Relationship between Canada and the United States committee During last week's meetings, our two countries agreed on the importance of protecting our populations. We'll continue to do so. For now, this includes vaccine procurement. The contract is between the Government of Canada and a private company. We'll continue to monitor the situa
March 2nd, 2021Committee meeting
Michael Grant
Economic Relationship between Canada and the United States committee I can say that both governments agree that our two populations need vaccine protection. At this point, we don't see any issues with the contract between Canada and the American company. Since this issue is very significant, we'll continue the dialogue with the American authoriti

Economic Relationship between Canada and the United States committee Steve, would you like to take that?

Michael Grant
Economic Relationship between Canada and the United States committee Go ahead, Steve.
March 2nd, 2021Committee meeting
Michael Grant
Economic Relationship between Canada and the United States committee Thank you for your question. I'm not an expert on this matter. However, I believe that we have a contract with an American company for the purchase of 20 million doses. I don't have the exact details of when and how things will proceed. I believe that there aren't any issues wit

Economic Relationship between Canada and the United States committee It's over to you, Steve.
March 2nd, 2021Committee meeting
Michael Grant
Economic Relationship between Canada and the United States committee Thank you very much for the question. Far be it from me to speak on behalf of the Governor of Michigan, but from our assessment, the concern is over the Line 5 that passes under the Straits of Mackinac. There has been a process under way to get approvals for the tunnel that wou
March 2nd, 2021Committee meeting
Michael Grant
Economic Relationship between Canada and the United States committee Thank you very much for the question. I'll take a crack. Then if Steve wants to come in, that's fine. Just to go back to the road map and the discussions last week, I think what you see is a pretty comprehensive engagement on all things COVID. That includes ministers and officia
March 2nd, 2021Committee meeting
Michael Grant
Economic Relationship between Canada and the United States committee Steve might want to come in on this later. I would just note, although it's not specific to your question, that on Line 5, this isn't about increasing; it's about maintaining. We are also quite concerned—which is part of our advocacy with influence-makers and officials in the Un
March 2nd, 2021Committee meeting
Michael Grant
Economic Relationship between Canada and the United States committee Thank you for your question. We see this situation as an issue between the two federal governments of the United States and Canada. Of course, we want an amicable solution between the State of Michigan and Enbridge. However, we can see that there's already a dialogue with the f
March 2nd, 2021Committee meeting
Michael Grant
Economic Relationship between Canada and the United States committee Thank you again for your question. I may not have all the answers. I think that this is a very specific issue. I don't have an answer for you. However, I can check with my colleagues and, if possible, give you an answer later.
March 2nd, 2021Committee meeting
Michael Grant
Economic Relationship between Canada and the United States committee If I understand your question correctly, the governor of Michigan set a deadline for the use of Line 5. There are processes in the court of the State of Michigan and in the federal court of the United States. We believe that these processes will take place despite the deadline.
March 2nd, 2021Committee meeting
Michael Grant
Economic Relationship between Canada and the United States committee Thank you very much. I would agree. Even though it was virtual, I think it was a rather unique meeting—not just a single meeting but a set of meetings. As we have seen American secretaries get confirmed, it has been very interesting that virtually across the board the first pers
March 2nd, 2021Committee meeting
Michael Grant
Economic Relationship between Canada and the United States committee Thank you for your question. As I said, we're looking at all the options, including the 1977 agreement, for changing the situation. We really want the State of Michigan and Enbridge to find a solution, without going to court or going through another process. That said, we're wel
