    1. In recent days, I've worked with the RCMP and Border Services about continuing to support them in terms of acquiring new technologies, drones, helicopters, additional human resources necessary in the case of surge requirements.
    2. President Trump's comments last evening are an opportunity for us to say to Canadians that we absolutely share the Americans concern around the integrity of the border, the security of the border. In fact, this is work that we have been doing jointly with the United States for decades.
    1. That's not just oil and gas, that's hydroelectricity that feeds New York and Boston, it's potash that feeds people across the United States, it's uranium that powers nuclear facilities.
    2. I think President Trump wants to ensure that he's effectively representing American interests. My job is to represent Canadian interests.
    1. Retaliatory tariffs should be on the table as an option. Everything has to be on the table.
