In Scarborough, there's this fire behind our eyes. A passion in our bellies. It's in the hearts of our neighbors. The eyes of our nurses. And the hands of our doctors. It's what makes Scarborough, Scarborough. In our hospitals, we do more than anyone thought possible. We've less than anyone could imagine.

But it's time to imagine what we can do with more. Join Scarborough Health Network and together, we can turn grit into greatness. Donate at lovescarborough.ca. From the time when I was governor there, I've been resident in Ottawa. I know Nepean well. My, I was best man to Peter Sciarelli,

grew up in Nepean. So from Bar Haven to Bell's Corners and in between, it's an area I know well. And in many respects, it's representative of many of the aspects, not all the aspects, but many of the aspects of this country. You know, median incomes around probably $50,000, $55,000, so a little less than the national average, but in there. Very diverse.

Both the opportunities and the challenges that we face as a country, and those are challenges that I'm looking to address. That's why I put my hand up. That's why I'm here as Prime Minister. That's what I'm eager to move forward with my liberal colleagues on. And this is the positive vision that we're putting forward for the people of Nepean, the people of Ottawa, the people of Ontario, the people of Canada. Thank you very much.

In French, Mr. Soros, Mr. Ariyar, can we have a question in French as well, if possible? And could we also have a question in French following your answer? Okay. Yes. Now, as regards Mr. Chandra-Erya, there is a process within the Liberal Party that has to do with green lighting candidates in an election, and that committee reviews various considerations in order to make a decision. With respect to Nepean, perhaps I could stop there to get a final question in French.

Yes, hello Mr. Carney, le devoir. My first question, and then I'd like a follow-up. You say you want to make the public service more lean and mean. Can you tell us which programs you would like to cut? Well, there are two things. If there is a program put in place to accelerate investment in housing, then each government dollar should bring another dollar from the private sector. So it's a question of productivity, not about cutting.

Well you still have not spoken to Mr. Trump, and the relationship with the United States is really a major concern for voters. They will decide who's the best person to stand up to Mr. Trump. And since the campaign is very short, do you intend to meet with Mr. Trump at some point? And do you feel you can stand up to Mr. Trump? Yes, absolutely. I can certainly stand up to Mr. Trump, but there are certain conditions for my discussion with Mr. Trump. Mr. Trump must recognize that Canada is a sovereign country. He has to say that.

He has to accept that before we can have a discussion about a trade agreement. So you will not be speaking to Mr. Trump? Well, let's just say there is no meeting that has been planned. Thank you. Thank you very much. Good luck. Liberal leader Mark Carney talking to reporters outside Rideau Hall Thank you very much. Good luck. Despite that, he is presenting himself as a candidate of change, even though he leads a party that has been in office for close to 10 years. Tom Perry is covering the Liberals for us today and for the first few weeks of the campaign. Hey Tom, Mark Carney said that he is prepared to act dramatically and radically.
