It’s not about pipelines, it’s about this sense of respect and making sure that the things that Alberta cares about are also cared about by the country as a whole.

We’ve got to talk about how we create these meaningful equity stakes in a way that Indigenous communities want and that works for everybody and that that is true economic reconciliation, and that’s certainly top of mind.

What the prime minister said was at least 10 per cent Indigenous ownership, and these things will evolve over time.

I guess the thing I would say is, it’s absolutely worth it. You do not want to be in a situation where afterwards you’re saying, ‘Geez, I wish I’d shown up so there could have been a strong result and we could have put this to bed.’

I think we're all very worried that Alberta politics could be consumed by this forever.

We're not going to have the opportunity to have this conversation again. The prime minister says (separation) is not a free option. If you decide to vote to continue this separation process, you're causing some real damage and harm to this…

If you decide to vote to continue this separation process, you’re causing some real damage and harm to this province.

It’s great that he has a connection to this province but it’s obviously important this year with the looming referendum.

What the separatists are proposing doesn’t just affect people who live in Alberta, it affects the whole country.

Separatism is a poison dividing families across the province.

The referendum is the cloud over everything.

Our government has supported the training of over 2,000 personnel, including wildland firefighters, structural firefighters and community wildfire protection trainings.

Unjust” tariffs from the United States and global changes with less demand for products like newsprint, caused a “perfect storm of challenges.

This is something that will damage our province and our country for years to come, and that would be the root of the conversation.

It’s got to work for Quebecers, it’s got to work for British Columbians, it’s got to work for Albertans.

In the House of Commons, I think we would be dumbstruck. ‘How did we get here?’ And I know the Alberta MPs — Conservative, Liberal, New Democrat — we would all be sitting there saying, ‘How do we undo this?'

The best defence against anything that assaults our country, whether it’s from external forces or internal forces like separatists, is to make sure this country is working as best as possible.
