Canadians are reasonable, and we are polite, but we will not back down from a fight.

Not when our country, and the well-being of everyone in it, is at stake.

At the moment, the U.S. tariffs came into effect in the early hours of this morning, and so did the Canadian response.

Canada will be implementing 25% tariffs against $155 billion worth of American goods, starting with tariffs on $30 billion worth of goods immediately, and tariffs on the remaining $125 billion of American products in 21 days' time.

Today, we will also be challenging these illegal actions by filing dispute resolution claims at the World Trade Organization and through the USMCA.

But in the meantime, our tariffs will remain in place until the U.S. tariffs are withdrawn, and not a moment sooner.

And should these tariffs not cease, we are in active and ongoing discussions with provinces and territories to pursue several non-tariff measures.

Measures which will demonstrate that there are no winners in a trade war.

Now, just like I did a month ago, I want to speak first directly to the American people.

We want to work with you as a friend and ally.

And we don't want to see you hurt either.

But your government has chosen to do this to you.

As of this morning, markets are down, and inflation is set to rise dramatically all across your country.

Your government has chosen to put American jobs at risk at the thousands of workplaces that succeed because of materials from Canada or because of consumers in Canada, or both.

They've chosen to raise costs for American consumers on everyday essential items like groceries and gas, on major purchases like cars and homes, and everything in between.

They've chosen to harm American national security, impeding access to the abundant critical minerals, energy, building materials, and fertilizers that we have and that the United States needs to grow and prosper.

They've chosen to launch a trade war that will, first and foremost, harm American families.

They've chosen to sabotage their own agenda that was supposed to usher in a new golden age for the United States.

And they've chosen to undermine the incredible work we've done together to tackle the scourge that is fentanyl, a drug that must be wiped from the face of the earth.

So on that point, let me be crystal clear.

There is absolutely no justification or need whatsoever for these tariffs today.

Now, the legal pretext your government is using to bring in these tariffs is that Canada is apparently unwilling to help in the fight against illegal fentanyl.

Far less than 1% of fentanyl flows and less than 1% of illegal crossings into the United States comes from Canada.

But we acted because we know we can always do better.

We responded to concerns, including from the President, by implementing an ambitious $1.3 billion border plan.

A border plan that includes generational investments in new AI and imaging tools to stop the flow of fentanyl in its tracks, stronger coordination and information sharing with American agencies, along with the deployment of drones, helicopters, and additional personnel to keep our border secure.

Now, a month ago, as part of an agreement with the United States that paused the tariffs, we made further commitments.

We appointed Kevin Brosseau as our fentanyl czar, a man who dedicated his multi-decade career in law enforcement to combating organized crime networks and drug trafficking.

We designated seven drug cartels, sick, evil groups who cynically profit off the pain and suffering of people on both sides of the border, as the terrorist organizations that they are.

And just yesterday, we launched a new joint operations partnership supported by a $200 million investment between Canada's security and law enforcement agencies, a partnership that will enhance the coordination of information and intelligence in order to thwart criminal gangs involved in the illegal fentanyl trade.

Customs and Border Protection just acknowledged, there was a 97% drop in fentanyl seizures from January compared to December to a near zero low of less than half an ounce seized in January, even with all the further enforcements and actions we've taken at the borders.

We engaged closely and constructively with the President and his administration.

And we did it because we believe in working together to protect our citizens.

Now I want to speak directly to one specific American.

In the over eight years you and I have worked together, we've done big things.

We signed a historic deal that has created record jobs and growth in both of our countries.

We've done big things together on the world stage, as Canada and the U.S. have done together for decades, for generations.

And now we should be working together to ensure even greater prosperity for North Americans in a very uncertain and challenging world.

Now it's not in my habit to agree with the Wall Street Journal, but Donald, they point out that even though you're a very smart guy, this is a very dumb thing to do.

We two friends fighting is exactly what our opponents around the world want to see.

Even though we're all going to pull together because that's what we do.

We will use every tool at our disposal so Canadian workers and businesses can weather this storm.

From expanding EI benefits and making them more flexible, to providing direct supports to businesses, we will be there as needed to help.

No matter how long this lasts, no matter what the cost, the federal government and other orders of government will be there for you.

We will take measures to prevent predatory behaviour that threatens Canadian companies because of the impacts of this trade war, leaving them open to takeovers.

We will relentlessly fight to protect our economy.

We will stand up for Canadians every single second of every single day because this country is worth fighting for.

Now we've been through tough spots before.

But every time we've faced long odds and seemingly insurmountable obstacles, we've not only survived, we've emerged stronger than ever.

Because when it comes to defending our great nation, there is no price we all aren't willing to pay.

We will now take 20 minutes of questions.

You're reaching out to the President today.

Vance, who says that Donald Trump will be speaking to Canadians.

And he also says that he wants to see more progress on fentanyl.

So my question to you is, do you have any conversations scheduled with Donald Trump in the coming days?

Is that something maybe your successor should do?

And do you really believe that this is about fentanyl?

Or is there something larger at play here?

I have offered to speak to Donald over the past number of days, and I expect to speak with him in the days to come.

I'm always there to talk with him about the importance of working together to take on the world at this time.

The facts show very clearly that in terms of taking action on fentanyl, we are doing everything that is necessary.

And not just for the United States, for ourselves as well, as Canadians are suffering as well from the scourge that is illegal fentanyl.

We have laid out extensive plans, actions, cooperations, including as recently as the past days in Washington, and they have always been very well received.

I think in what President Trump said yesterday, that there is nothing Canada or Mexico can do to avoid these tariffs, underlines very clearly what I think a lot of us have suspected for a long time, that these tariffs are not specifically about fentanyl, even though that is the legal justification he must use to actually move forward with these tariffs.

I hope to speak to him in the days to come.

He seems to regard his friends as his enemies, and his enemies as his friends.

In this regards, Canada and Canadians are very clear.

We know who our friends are, we know who our opponents are, and there is no question that Vladimir Putin and his attack, not just on Ukraine, but on the rules-based international order, on the founding principles of the United Nations, is an opponent of Canada.

I think the question that we all need to be watching closely is, what do the American people think?

How do Americans feel about jettisoning one's friends and allies in favour of a country that has never wished Americans well and continues to act in ways that harm the global economy, and specifically the American economy and American values and principles?

I think the thing to remember, first and foremost, as we reflect on the impacts on Canadian workers and Canadian jobs and businesses, is that, first of all, there will be similar impacts on Americans losing their jobs, American families paying more for basic goods that they rely on at a time where times are tight everywhere.
