Just, just now, so. OK.
Good afternoon, everyone.

98
00:18:29,288 --> 00:18:29,828
Welcome.

99
00:18:29,828 --> 00:18:31,028
Welcome.

100
00:18:33,548 --> 00:18:39,749
To a historic day. President von der
Leyen, President Costa, on behalf of all

101
00:18:39,807 --> 00:18:44,931
Canadians, I'd like to thank you for your
vision, for your leadership, and I'd like

102
00:18:44,987 --> 00:18:49,988
to thank the commissioners, and your
teams, for your focus and your delivery.

103
00:18:51,908 --> 00:18:59,146
So, we are here in Montreal, and for
centuries, Montreal has served as a bridge

104
00:18:59,241 --> 00:19:07,400
between Canada and Europe. As evidenced by
the languages spoken there, the cultures

105
00:19:07,519 --> 00:19:13,690
that coexist there, and
its motto: Concordia salus.

106
00:19:13,779 --> 00:19:19,709
And so it was in a spirit of
concord that the summit took place.

107
00:19:19,773 --> 00:19:25,203
When our values, our interests and
our intentions were aligned harmony.

108
00:19:25,255 --> 00:19:30,649
In a world in turmoil, this harmony is
a source of security, prosperity and

109
00:19:30,727 --> 00:19:32,768
well-being for our peoples.

110
00:19:33,908 --> 00:19:36,488
The world's becoming more
dangerous and divided.

111
00:19:36,548 --> 00:19:42,593
Our societies are being shaken. By new
storms, the upheaval, caused by climate

112
00:19:42,655 --> 00:19:47,768
change, the erosion of democratic
norms, the weaponization of trade.

113
00:19:48,728 --> 00:19:52,337
The multilateral institutions
we relied on have weakened.

114
00:19:52,435 --> 00:19:59,351
It is now more difficult to
reconcile sovereignty and openness.

115
00:19:59,483 --> 00:20:05,137
Economic integration has become a
weapon, and tariffs a means of pressure.

116
00:20:05,203 --> 00:20:11,623
At the same time, technology is transforming
the nature of war, the structure of

117
00:20:11,673 --> 00:20:14,941
economies and the capacity
of States. to govern.

118
00:20:15,052 --> 00:20:25,629
In Strasbourg, I said that in seven fierce
storms, a single tree may fall, but not a

119
00:20:25,785 --> 00:20:33,974
forest. For on earth, the roots of one
chain were intertwining with those of the

120
00:20:34,045 --> 00:20:40,664
neighbouring trees, and they exchange
nutrients, unite their strength and create a

121
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:49,287
resilient and self-sufficient ecosystem.
That is the lesson we must draw at this

122
00:20:49,390 --> 00:20:50,590
moment.

123
00:20:51,068 --> 00:20:55,835
Together, Canada and the European Union
are anchoring the ground, anchoring our

124
00:20:55,904 --> 00:21:01,423
ground to uphold our values, while forming
a protective canopy under which our

125
00:21:01,509 --> 00:21:08,567
citizens can all thrive. Today, and the
process it launches, is about opportunity.

126
00:21:08,648 --> 00:21:13,155
Opportunity for our youth, for our artists,
for our researchers, for our businesses.

127
00:21:13,208 --> 00:21:18,228
It's about democracy, protecting against
foreign interference, and social media

128
00:21:18,276 --> 00:21:22,563
manipulation, while supporting human
rights, freedom, and the rule of law.

129
00:21:22,628 --> 00:21:27,703
This is about sustainability, protecting
our oceans, our forests, and our Arctic,

130
00:21:27,768 --> 00:21:32,509
while developing practical, scalable
solutions to climate change.

131
00:21:32,588 --> 00:21:38,078
And above all, it's about sovereignty,
about being able to live our lives as we

132
00:21:38,228 --> 00:21:43,977
wish. Today, the European Union and
Canada are launching the Alliance for the

133
00:21:44,044 --> 00:21:45,848
Future, a new partnership of

134
00:21:46,268 --> 00:21:52,773
nations that will leverage our strategic
capabilities and a variable geometry of

135
00:21:52,826 --> 00:21:55,208
like-minded nations to
address common issues.
