I’d like to start by talking about the good news on inflation. Inflation was two per cent in October. That means for the past 10 months inflation in Canada has been within the Bank of Canada’s target range.
I’m going to start by talking about the Canadian economy, our tax break, our rebate for Canadian workers and an update on the Carbon Rebate for Small Businesses.

The topic of the conference, “The New Generation,” strikes a chord with me because it sums up the greatest challenge facing broadcasting today: preserving and renewing audiences.
The time has come for us to be decisive about pushing Russian oil out of the world market. That Russian oil is quite literally funding Putin’s war machine. We’ve taken significant steps to push that Russian oil out of the world market. Now, we need to move further and work harder. And I believe, Canada believes, that now is the moment to undertake that work with our allies. And I’m glad to be saying that to you here at UCC Alberta because Canada as an energy power, Alberta as an energy power, has a real voice and a real role to play in making it possible for us, as the G7, to really push Russian oil out of the global market.
