00:00After that meeting Friday night, you said, you linked Pierre Polyev's Conservatives

00:05to Elon Musk and Donald Trump's approach to cutting taxes, regulations, foreign aid.

00:13Mr. Polyev just staked out his own platform pitch to Canadians right now, today saying

00:17that he will stand up to Trump, that a Liberal is still just a Liberal.

00:21So on what basis can you fairly compare the Canadian Conservatives to Trump-style Republican

00:26Conservatives?

00:27Well, first, the comparisons are quite easy.

00:31You look at the language, the language mirrors and the track record of language stretches

00:36back over years.

00:37It's not a recent phenomenon.

00:38So straight from the language, number one.

00:41Secondly, from the intention.

00:43So Elon Musk stands up and says, and the Trump administration eliminates foreign aid.

00:49Within a few days, Pierre Polyev flies in and out of Nunavut and says, I'm going to

00:56eliminate foreign aid.

00:57By the way, he doesn't talk to the Premier, doesn't talk to local indigenous leaders while

01:02he's there.

01:04Not our approach, obviously.

01:07So a series of words plus proposals, which are uncannily familiar with the proposals

01:16of the Trump administration.

01:17Very different from our approach.

01:20Very different from our approach, for example, to building a housing market, both offering

01:28much greater supply.

01:30Very different from our approach.

01:31I'll give you one last example because I know there's a long lineup of questions.

01:36Today we announced that we are going to expand dental care.

01:40Now the dental care program that was put in place several months ago now serves 1.8 million

01:47Canadians.

01:481.8 million Canadians have received dental care under this program.

01:52These are people who could not afford dental care previously.

01:56Pierre Polyev pretends they don't exist.

02:00We just expanded the potential pool by another four and a half million Canadians who also

02:05are in that situation.

02:06That is a very different approach to Canada.

02:09That's a Canada that brings Canadians together, protects all.

02:13That's the Canada we're offering.
