00:12and looking to forge a good and solid relationship.

00:15Have they reached out from either side yet?

00:18We've reached out, yeah, and we're looking forward to having that, you know, having them connect.

00:22Okay.

00:23I am not.

00:24I think that what we need to be doing, and I know that Prime Minister Carney wants to do,

00:29is to establish, you know, a serious and professional conversation around the President's goals with respect to trade.

00:38We had a meeting with Commerce Secretary Lettnick and USTR Greer this week, or this past week,

00:43and we understood from them his whole global agenda in this respect, and we talked about how Canada can fit into that.
