00:12And I was doing that because I knew our country needed to take action.

00:28And that's about as far as you can get from the grandeur of Rideau Hall.

00:33And I was there because I was putting up my hand to run for the leadership of the Liberal Party of Canada.

00:39And I was doing that because I knew our country needed to take action.

00:46We needed to act to fix our economy.

00:49We needed to act to fight the Americans.

00:53We needed to act to deal with Donald Trump's tariffs.

00:58We eliminated the tax on carbon for consumers, for small businesses and for farmers

01:04to end the division that it was creating amongst Canadians.

01:09Because we are stronger together.

01:14We reversed the increase in the capital gains tax so that builders are encouraged to take risks

01:20and be rewarded when they succeed.

01:23When I met with the premiers in Ottawa on Friday,

01:59against America's unjustified trade actions.

02:04We acted to unlock major infrastructure projects and get them moving rapidly,

02:08including clean and conventional energy, critical minerals and new trade corridors

02:13with reliable trading partners.

02:17We acted to create new supports for farmers and businesses during this trade war.

02:22We expanded dental care for millions of more Canadians.

02:27And we took all of these actions and more to create the foundation to build a stronger Canada.

02:35There is so much more to do to secure Canada, to invest in Canada, to build Canada, to unite Canada.

02:46That's why I'm asking for a strong, positive mandate from my fellow Canadians.

02:53I have just requested that the Governor General dissolve Parliament

02:57and call in an election for April 28th.

03:02And she has agreed.
