 Bonjour, tout le monde. Good morning, everyone. Thank you all for joining us today. I want to officially welcome Premier Horgan to Ottawa. It's a pleasure to have you with us today, John. We just wrapped up our very first in-person meeting, which was quite productive. It was a chance for us to get to know each other and talk about issues that matter to both of us and to citizens across this country. First, we discussed the wildfires that have been raging across the interior of British Columbia. I thank the Premier for his leadership on this matter, and reiterated our government's full support in these difficult times. We've been working very closely with our provincial partners to help those affected by the fires. We've deployed the Canadian Armed Forces and provided beds and blankets from the National Emergency Strategic Stockpile. The federal government will also be providing significant amounts of financial support to the province through programs such as the Disaster Financial Assistance Arrangements to help the response and recovery process. And just a few days ago, we announced a new contribution to the Canadian Red Cross that matches the amount the Red Cross is spending on direct support to evacuees. This funding will help the Red Cross to meet the future needs of evacuees as they return to their communities. Rest assured that we will be supporting British Columbians as they recover from this difficult time and begin to rebuild. I know all Canadians stand with the victims and the people of British Columbia. We will continue to do everything we can to help. I intend to travel to British Columbia next week to visit those affected by the fires and assess the extent of the damages. We have not also talked about the need to work together to end the opioid epidemic. Prime Minister Morgan and I have both heard families tell us how the desperate reality of dependence has destroyed them. And they have talked about parents, children or friends whose lives have changed forever after a tragedy. The opioid epidemic is a problem on which we cannot close our eyes. As leaders, we know that we have the responsibility to help people who are particularly vulnerable, and we are determined to work together to find sustainable solutions to these problems. This help is part of the extension of a certain number of measures that our government has taken since the beginning of its mandate so that the people of British Columbia and all Canadians can have a happy and healthy life. We also spoke about doing more to meet the needs of hardworking parents. As part of our plan to help the middle class and those working hard to join it, our government is committed to delivering affordable, high-quality, flexible, and fully inclusive childcare for all Canadians. Our governments agree that childcare must be a top priority, and we look forward to working towards a shared, long-term vision where all children across Canada can experience the enriching environment of quality, early learning, and childcare. We know there are many other issues that represent important challenges for the people of British Columbia, particularly affordable housing. We are committed to working together to help families find a safe and affordable place to live and to combat housing insecurity and homelessness for generations to come. And lastly, we spoke about the Premier's upcoming trip to Washington. As many of you know, Premier Horgan will lead the BC delegation that will be traveling to the U.S. to discuss the issue of softwood lumber. I believe that he will be a strong voice for the people of British Columbia who have been free and fair traders and will provide valuable input as part of our negotiations. Once again, I want to thank Premier Horgan for making the trip to Ottawa. I'm very much looking forward to working with you, John, to improve the lives of British Columbians and make Canada an even better place to call home. Thank you all for joining us today. Turning it over to you, John. Well, thank you, Prime Minister, and thank you very much for the warm welcome here in Ottawa today. As the Premier articulated, there's a range of issues that we wanted to discuss today, highlighted, of course, by the challenges of the wildfires raging in the central part of British Columbia over the past two weeks. The federal government was there from day one offering assistance, and as the Prime Minister outlined, has been a great ally in this challenge for the people of British Columbia. We also touched, of course, upon the critical issue of the opioid challenge, which is affecting all of Canada, but particularly aggressive in British Columbia, where we have significant challenges. And I'll be meeting with Minister Phil Pot later in the afternoon to talk about a range of issues on that front. But it's ultimately the commonality, the things that we have in common that we discussed today, the importance of having someone leading the country as Prime Minister, who has deep roots in British Columbia, is a tremendous opportunity for us on the West Coast. Quite often, as you may well know, we feel isolated and alone on the other side of the Rocky Mountains, but to have an ally in the Prime Minister to talk about these critically important issues that resonate right across the country, affordable housing, access to affordable childcare, those are constants right across the country, and Canadians are looking for leadership, and I'm grateful to see it coming from the Prime Minister on those areas. Ultimately, though, I'm here after the first week as Premier British Columbia to make sure that we're making a strong statement to Washington about the importance of a fair, softwood lumber agreement for the people of BC, and in fact, for all Canadians. This is critically important to our economy and to working people right across British Columbia, and I'm grateful that Minister Friedland and the Prime Minister have taken an active interest in making sure that we get a softwood lumber agreement that works for all Canadians. And with that, I thank you again, Prime Minister, for your warm welcome and the range of issues that we have in common. I'm very excited about getting to work on those in the interest of all British Columbians.
