We had a good sleep, we're all excited and we're all feeling pretty upbeat, as you can imagine ... to start rebuilding this great country of ours.
We had a good sleep. The family's excited. We're all feeling pretty upbeat, as you can imagine.
Mr. Martin is campaigning in Montreal, which was considered not too long ago the strongest set of Liberal ridings in the country. That's an encouraging sign. Indications on the ground are good everywhere.
I think that we should obviously have good relations whenever possible with our closest ally and our biggest customer. I would hope to talk to the president very closely to start us on that track. But that's not going to take us off fighting on specific Canadian interests.

We will honor your trust, we will deliver on our commitments.
