Let me begin by acknowledging that the land on which we gather is the traditional territory of the Three Fires Confederacy of First Nations.

During the pandemic, the federal government provided eight out of every ten dollars to support Canadians and Canadian businesses. In the midst of a once-in-a-century crisis, that was the right thing to do. It kept Canadians safe and solvent, kept Canadian businesses afloat, and supported the provinces and territories in preventing their health systems from being completely overwhelmed.

| Department of Finance Canada | speeches
Today I hosted a provincial and territorial Finance Ministers’ meeting. This was a return to in-person meetings and it was helpful to get together and to see each other face-to-face. We had a very rich, wide-ranging conversation today working together on key priorities for Canadians.

Certainly from the federal government’s perspective, even as we face the big and important challenges of today—even as we recognize we need to meet the moment when it comes to building that clean economy, creating those Canadian jobs, and supporting our health care system—we recognize we’re doing it at a time of real fiscal constraints and when fiscal responsibility is important as well.

The Broadcasting Act has served us well, giving us clear authority over traditional broadcasting activities like radio and linear television. However, it has reached the limits of what it can do to address digital media services like online streaming in an increasingly borderless communications space.

Hello and welcome, everyone. My name’s Sean Fraser, Canada’s Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship. It’s a pleasure to be here with you today to make a great announcement that supports the tourism sector and tackles the labour shortage.

Thank you so much. Look, thank you, Randy, and thank you, everyone who has taken the time to join us today. It’s good to be back in Alberta. We spent the last couple of days here. And, for those of you who may not be aware, this is a province I called home for about 5 years, before I got into politics.
