 Hello everyone. Thank you for being here today. I will try to stay short. I will give you the opportunity to ask me questions and also to ensure that we are not late to reveal the truth, which is one of the reasons we are in Montreal today. Before we get into things, I'd like to say a few words about two recent international tragedies that have touched Canada. At the beginning of the week, two Canadians, Tammy Chen and Belal Defala, lost their lives in a terrorist attack in Burkina Faso. They were among 18 innocents who were killed. We've reached out to the families to express our sympathies as they grieve in this difficult time. And just a few days ago, there was another heinous act of terror on the streets of Barcelona, where 14 people were killed and over a hundred injured. Among the dead is a Canadian, Ian Moore Wilson. Our thoughts go out to his family as well as the four Canadians who were wounded in this attack. These recent acts of terror are despicable. They seek to divide the global community, aiming to pit neighbour against neighbour, stoking fear and mistrust. But these cowards will not win. We will continue to do as we have done, standing united and stronger in the face of hatred. We will be emboldened in our values, values of love, acceptance and strength through diversity. My friends, in the wake of terror, let us never lose sight of who we are. At the beginning of the week, two Canadians, Tammy Chen and Belal Defala, lost their lives in a terrorist attack in Waga Dugu in Burkina Faso. They were among 18 innocent people who were killed. We are in communication with their families and they will face a tough time in the future. A few days ago, another terrorist attack, A&E, was perpetrated in the streets of Barcelona, where 14 people were killed and over a hundred injured. Among the dead is a Canadian, Ian Moore Wilson. Our thoughts go out to his family and the four Canadians who were wounded in this attack. These violent acts go out to their families and They aim to divide the world community and to put together the discord between neighbors by threatening fear and mistrust. But these people will not win. We will continue to do what we have always done, to show unity and even stronger to hatred. We will remain faithful to our values, the values of love, acceptance and strength created by diversity. My friends, face to the terror, let us never lose sight of who we are. And I'd further like to address the situation at our border, at Saint Bernard de la Colle. Canada is an opening and welcoming society. These values have always defined who we are. But let me be clear, we are also a country of laws. Entering Canada irregularly is not an advantage. There are rigorous immigration and customs rules that will be followed. Make no mistake, we enforce them to safeguard our communities against security risks. I would also like to address the situation at the border, at Saint Bernard de la Colle.

Now, the t-shirt and I just wrapped up a great meeting, and there were several things on the agenda. Obviously, CETA is top of mind for both Canada and Ireland with the agreement coming into effect one month from now. We talked about ways that Canadian and Irish businesses can benefit from the greater market access that's coming and reaffirmed our support for the agreement's progressive provisions. We also talked about our common attachment to diversity. Canadians and Irish citizens know that diversity is a source of strength, not of weakness. We understand that it is not enough to simply tolerate our neighbors, but that we must be able to celebrate what makes each of us unique. It can be about the language we speak, about the religion we practice, it can be about our gender or our way of expressing it, and yes, the person we love is part of what makes us unique. I'm so proud to have Leo and his partner Matthew marching with me today in Canada Pride Montreal 2017. This is the first time a foreign head of government has marched in a Canadian Pride event, and it's particularly fitting given the close connections between Ireland and my city of Montreal specifically. St. Patrick's Parade is our other great parade, and I certainly hope you see it at one point, but today everyone will be celebrating Pride. Every year, Montreal Pride events bring together millions of people gathering in peace and friendship to celebrate who we are. It's an event that reminds us that we are all part of the same community, and we need to keep fighting every day to ensure that no person feels excluded or unwelcome in this city or in any other community because of where they're from, because of what they wear, because of who they love. Of course, Pride Montreal is also a great party, and I'm very happy to be part of this parade today together with my good Irish friends as well as to share this city with them. I'll stop here, and I invite Tishock to say a few words. Leo, please. Thank you, Prime Minister. Hello, everyone. I'm very happy to be here today in Montreal following the invitation of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. It's not my first time in Montreal, but it's my first time as Prime Minister of Ireland, and I'm very happy to be here with you. I'm really delighted to be here in Canada today, representing the Irish Government, and before I start, I want to express my condolences on behalf of the Irish Government to Canada on the loss of your citizens in the terrorist attacks in Barcelona and in Burkina Faso. An Irish family as well was injured in the attacks in Barcelona, but thankfully we have had no fatalities involving our citizens. But it does remind us that terrorist attacks by their very nature, target civilians, are indiscriminate and are odious and must be condemned without any equivocation. And Canada and Ireland will work together to defeat terrorism, but never allowing terrorists to force us to change our values and our way of life or to restrict our own freedoms. I'm visiting Montreal and Toronto for the next three days. Had the pleasure to meet with the Prime Minister just now, our second meeting. I'll be meeting with business leaders and investors over the coming days. There's about three billion in trade between Ireland and Canada every year, and that's growing. I'll also be engaging with the Irish community here in Montreal and Toronto. And as you know, there's a very established Irish community here in Canada. About 4.5 million people in Canada claim Irish descent, which is something that we're very proud of and we're very proud of the extent to which Irish people have helped to make Canada the great country that it is. And also there's a whole new generation of Irish people, many from my age group, some of them my peers, who've come here to live and build new lives, and we want to particularly engage with them as well. And also I'll be engaging in some tourism promotion. Now that there are so many direct flights between Ireland and Canada, Canada is one of our top 10 tourist markets. We've had a 28% increase in visitors from Canada in the past two or three years, and it's been a record number for inbound tourism to Ireland from Canada. And I really hope that many more people in the years ahead will have an opportunity to visit boat countries going in boat directions because we both live in fabulous countries that are really worth a visit. I think Canada and Ireland are countries that very much have shared values. We believe in openness to the world. We believe that free trade makes our economy stronger. We believe in personal liberty, inequality before the law, and also multilateralism as the best way to solve the world's problems and deal with disputes, whether it's conflicts or issues such as climate change. And I hope that this visit and future engagements will help us to bring Irish and Canadian relations forward, both in terms of investment and trade, tourism, business, and also political cooperation and key international world issues. As Prime Minister Trudeau said, the main thing that we discussed in our meeting was CETA, the Canada-EU Trade Agreement. As you know, that comes into effect on the 21st of September and involves the removal of 98% of tariff barriers to trade between Europe and Canada, which I think is an enormous change for the better in trading relationships between Canada and all of the European Union. So I'm here to promote that. Ireland is a country in Europe that is very similar to Canada in a lot of ways. We're English-speaking. It's our main language. We have civil law. We're in the European Union. We're in the Euro, and we're staying. And we think there's a lot of reasons as to why Ireland in particular can benefit from this new trade arrangement between Canada and the European Union. So our government intends in the years ahead to expand our presence here in Canada. I hope to speak about that a bit more tomorrow in Toronto. We're already developing and increasing the staffing in our Enterprise Ireland office here. Tourism Ireland is here already, and we're going to expand our diplomatic basis here, too, which I think is something very significant. One or two of our operations for Canada run out of the United States. I don't think that's appropriate. We've done our Canadian affairs from Canada, and we intend to do that entirely in the years to come. We also spoke a little bit about Brexit and NAFTA and updated each other on the talks that are underway in relation to those two items. Discussed a little bit about the Canadian healthcare system. As you know, Ireland is struggling to bring about improvements and reforms to our health service, whereas Canada has one of the best health services in the world. As the Prime Minister reminded me, it's far from perfect, and you do have your own problems, but I think Ireland could learn a lot from the success of the Canadian healthcare system, and I hope we can do that in the years to come. And we also discussed the issue of abortion, which I know is an important issue for a lot of campaigners for women's rights in Canada. We discussed that, and I updated the Prime Minister and our plans to have a referendum on that in Ireland next year to give the people of Ireland the opportunity to remove our constitutional ban on abortion should they wish to do so, and the intention is to have that referendum next year, ideally in the first half of the year if that can be done.
