You know, I went back and looked at a few of his speeches from sort of recent months.
Aaron WherryGUEST
And when he was making the Churchill Falls announcement in August, he said,
Mark CarneySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
We're living through the consequences now.
Mark CarneySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
of a world that collectively hasn't taken climate change seriously enough.

I think the thing to watch, and I was on vacation when this happened, but But it's a significant announcement.

The federal government announced this big deal between the province of Quebec, the province of Newfoundland and Labrador for the expansion of Churchill Falls.

It's been very hurtful.

Patrick ButlerPANELIST
There isn't the same historical grievance here.
Patrick ButlerPANELIST
People don't necessarily have their opinion on Churchill Falls in Quebec as they do here.

But I do think that the timing of this debate just ahead of an election in Quebec – when the now candidate or a leader of the Coalition Avenir Québec, Premier Frechette, she made a big deal of this agreement just ahead of the election.
Patrick ButlerPANELIST
So I think there is a certain amount of interest.

Julian KaraguesianGUEST
But in terms of the specifics, I think those are going to be revealed in the days, weeks, and months ahead.
Mark CarneySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
So things like inter-ties between different bits of electricity.
Mark CarneySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
The federal government getting involved in Churchill Falls, 14 gigawatts of clean power, low-cost clean power, would not have happened without the federal government getting involved.

This is the way liberals operate.
Marc PatroneHOST
That's what makes them liberal.
