00:00:31MAJOR DEADLY CRASH IN SPAIN THIS YEAR AND ABOUT THE CANADIANS
00:00:34AFFECTED. >>> PLUS, THE BANK OF CANADA

00:00:39THREE YEARS. >> HOW MUCH ARE THESE GOING TO

00:00:51>>> QUÉBEC'S PREMIER SAYS THAT THE PROVINCE WILL NO LONGER CHANGE ITS CLOCKS.
00:00:54>> HALF OF THE CONTINENT IS MOVING AND HALF IS NOT AND IT'S
00:00:56BECOMING VERY CONFUSING. >> Ian: THE DEBATE OVER DAYLIGHT
00:01:00VERSUS STANDARD TIME AND HOW THE MOVE COULD LEAVE THEIR NEIGHBOURS OUT OF SYNC.
00:01:13>> Ian: TONIGHT SPAIN IS IN MOURNING AFTER A SHOCKING
00:01:16HIGH-SPEED TRAIN CRASH THAT'S KILLED AT LEAST 68 PEOPLE,
00:01:20DOZENS MORE INJURED, INCLUDING AT LEAST SIX CANADIANS AND A
00:01:23SEVENTH UNACCOUNTED FOR.
00:01:26IT HAPPENED IN A CENTRAL PROVINCE.
00:01:30A TRAIN TRAVELING UP TO 200
00:01:33km/h SMASHED INTO THE BACK OF ANOTHER STOPPED ON THE TRACKS.
00:01:37IT IS THE COUNTRY'S SECOND DEADLY HIGH-SPEED TRAIN DISASTER ON THE SAME LINE THIS YEAR. SOMETHING THAT THE COUNTRY'S
00:01:41PRIME MINISTER CALLED UNACCEPTABLE.
00:01:45CHRIS BROWN NOW ON WHAT HAPPENED AND WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT THE
00:01:46CANADIANS.
00:01:49>> Reporter: THE CRASH SOUTH OF MADRID WAS CATASTROPHIC.
00:01:53BOTH TRAINS WERE TRAVELING ON THE SAME TRACK IN THE SAME
00:01:55DIRECTION.
00:01:57ONE WAS STOPPED WHEN THE OTHER PLOWED INTO IT.
00:02:01THE IMPACT UTTERLY CRUSHED CARRIAGES.
00:02:04OTHERS WERE RIPPED OPEN EJECTING
00:02:09PEOPLE INTO THE FIELDS IN A
00:02:12MANGLED MESS, WHICH LEFT MORE
00:02:14THAN 60 DEAD. >>(SPEAKING ALTERNATE LANGUAGE). >> Reporter: "FIRST AND MORE
00:02:18MOST WE'D LIKE TO MOURN THIS TRAGEDY," SAID SPAIN'S KING PHILIPPE. SURVIVORS DESCRIBED THE MOMENT OF IMPACT. >>(SPEAKING ALTERNATE LANGUAGE).
00:02:21>> Reporter: "ALL OF A SUDDEN THE TRAIN HIT US FROM BEHIND.
00:02:25SUDDENLY WE SAW THE TRAIN ON THE LEFT, EVERYTHING WAS OVERTURNED."
00:02:28>>(SPEAKING ALTERNATE LANGUAGE).
00:02:31>> Reporter: "WE WERE HAVING BREAKFAST, HAVING A COFFEE, AND
00:02:34WE FELT A HUGE IMPACT. WE WERE ALL THROWN INTO THE AIR."
00:02:37THE COUNTRY'S TRANSPORTATION MINISTER SAID THAT INITIALLY
00:02:41THAT THE COMMUNICATIONS FAILURE TRIGGERED A RED SIGNAL THAT
00:02:44FORCED BOTH TRAINS TO STOP. >>(SPEAKING ALTERNATE LANGUAGE).
00:02:47>> Reporter: "INEXPLICABLY,"
00:02:51HE SAID, "THE RED
00:02:53TRAIN WAS TOLD TO PROCEED THROUGH THE RED LIGHT WHEN IT WASN'T SAFE TO GO."
00:02:57SPAIN'S HIGH-SPEED RAIL SYSTEM IS A SOURCE OF IMMENSE NATIONAL
00:03:00PRIDE ISSUE BUT THIS IS THE SECOND MAJOR DEADLY ACCIDENT THIS YEAR.
00:03:0446 PEOPLE WERE KILLED IN A CRASH IN JANUARY.
00:03:07>>(SPEAKING ALTERNATE LANGUAGE).
00:03:09>> Reporter: "IF WE NEED TO FURTHER STRENGTHEN SAFETY TO RESTORE CONFIDENCE IN OUR
00:03:13HIGH-SPEED RAIL SYSTEM, WE WILL DO SO," SAID PRIME MINISTER
00:03:16PEDRO SÁNCHEZ.
00:03:19WHILE THE RAIL CONTROLLER'S
00:03:22ACTIONS WILL BE A KEY PART OF THE INVESTIGATION, THIS SAFETY
00:03:25EXPERT SAYS THAT A SIGNAL INDIVIDUAL IS RARELY THE ONLY
00:03:26CAUSE OF A DISASTER.
00:03:30>> TO BE FOR SPEED AND TO MOVE
00:03:34PAST THE SAFETY OR TO CRASH IS TO LOOK AT WHAT WENT WRONG AS A SYSTEM.
00:03:37AND THEN TRY TO ADDRESS THOSE GAPS IN THE SYSTEM, OTHERWISE
00:03:40YOU WILL SEE A REPEAT.
00:03:43>> Reporter: SPAIN HAS DECLARED THREE DAYS OF MOURNING AS
00:03:46ANGUISHED FAMILIES AWAIT NEWS ABOUT THE DOZENS INJURED IN
00:03:48HOSPITAL.
00:03:51GLOBAL AFFAIRS SAYS THAT IT'S AWARE OF SEVEN CANADIANS WHO HAVE BEEN AFFECTED BY THIS
00:03:54ACCIDENT.
00:03:58IN AN E-MAIL, IT SAID THAT SIX PEOPLE SUFFERED INJURIES OF SOME
00:04:01SORT AND A SEVENTH PERSON IS UNACCOUNTED FOR. IAN? >> Ian: CHRIS, WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT THIS OTHER ACCIDENT THAT
00:04:05YOU MENTIONED AND WHAT CONNECTION IT MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE TO THIS ONE?
00:04:09>> Reporter: WELL, THE RAIL COMPANIES WERE EXACTLY THE SAME
00:04:11IN THAT JANUARY CRASH.
00:04:14A STATE SPANISH COMPANY AND A
00:04:17PRIVATE ITALIAN ONE.
00:04:20AND BOTH ACCIDENTS HAPPENED ON A
00:04:22MAIN ARTERY. BUT THERE'S DIFFERENCES AS WELL. AND THIS CRASH APPEARS TO HAVE
00:04:30IAN? >> Ian: CHRIS BROWN IN LONDON. >>> LAID OFF STELCO WORKERS
00:04:33COULD BE BACK ON THE JOB BY CHRISTMAS, THAT FROM THE PLANT'S
00:04:37AMERICAN OWNER, AFTER WEEKS OF PRESSURE FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.
00:04:41BUT AS ASHLEY BURKE EXPLAINS WHAT HE'S SAYING ABOUT WHY HE BOUGHT THE COMPANY IS HAVING
00:04:44OTTAWA TO TAKE A CLOSER LOOK.
00:04:48>> Reporter:THE INDUSTRY MINISTER SAID THAT AN AMERICAN
00:04:50STEEL COMPANY MADE A CONFESSION ON
00:04:53LIVE TV THAT COULD BE THE KEY TO GETTING LAID OFF WORKERS IN CANADA THEIR JOBS BACK.
00:04:57>> DEFINITELY MADE US CONTACT OUR LAWYERS TO SEE WHAT COULD BE THE CONSEQUENCES OF SUCH
00:05:00CONFESSION. >> Reporter: THE C.E.O. OF
00:05:04OHIO-BASED CLEVELAND-CLIFFS HAS
00:05:08PUBLICLY APPLAUDED DONALD TRUMP'S TARIFFS WHICH HAVE CRUSHED THE CANADIAN
00:05:11STEEL INDUSTRY. HE RECENTLY LET GO OF 175 WORKERS AT A STELCO PLANT IN
00:05:14ONTARIO.
00:05:17THE COMPANY SAID THAT IT HAD TO
00:05:21IDLE SOME OPERATIONS TO SURVIVE. >> I'M JOINED BY LORENZO GONZALEZ.
00:05:24>> Reporter: BUT ON TUESDAY ON "POWER & POLITICS" THAT C.E.O.
00:05:28REVEALED HIS TRUE MOTIVE FOR BUYING THE CANADIAN STEEL
00:05:31COMPANY TWO YEARS AGO -- IT WAS UNDERCUTTING HIS AMERICAN SALES.
00:05:34>> LOOK, I BOUGHT STELCO, BECAUSE I COULD NOT AFFORD ANYMORE THE
00:05:38HEAVY STELCO FLOODING THE MARKET
00:05:39HERE IN THE UNITED STATES.
00:05:43TO THE DETRIMENT OF MY OWN COMPANY. >> Reporter: THAT COMMENT VIEWED
00:05:46BY LIBERALS AS A BIG ADMISSION. >> IF HE SAYS THAT BASICALLY HE
00:05:49BOUGHT IT TO ULTIMATELY TO KEEP
00:05:52THE PLANT IDLE, HE'S PROVING OUR CASE. >> THEY DID NOT WANT THAT
00:05:55COMPANY TO SURVIVE. HE TOOK IT OVER SO THAT IT WOULD NOT DO WELL.
00:05:59>> Reporter: THE WORKERS' UNION CALLS THE C.E.O.'S COMMENTS
00:06:01OUTRAGEOUS. >> IT CONFIRMED TO ME THAT HE
00:06:05WAS HURTING OR DAMAGING THE
00:06:08ASSETS IN CANADA, THE STEEL
00:06:10INDUSTRY IN CANADA, DISPARAGING
00:06:14IT TO ADVANTAGE U.S. -- HIS U.S. OPERATIONS.
00:06:16>> Reporter: OTTAWA APPROVED
00:06:19STELCO'S PURCHASE, BUT SAID THAT
00:06:21IT CAME WITH COMMITMENTS, AND ALLEGES
00:06:25THAT THE AMERICAN COMPANY BROKE THEM. THEY ARE GIVING THEM NINE DAYS TO FIX IT OR TO FACE LEGAL ACTION.
00:06:28BUT THE CONSERVATIVES SAY THAT'S NOT SOON ENOUGH.
00:06:32>> GET TO COURT AND SHOW THEM THAT WE MEAN BUSINESS BECAUSE ULTIMATELY THIS SHOWS WEAKNESS
00:06:35FROM OUR GOVERNMENT. >> THERE ARE POLITICS PLAYING ON
00:06:37BOTH SIDES. >> Reporter: THIS LAWYER SAYS
00:06:41THAT WHILE THE C.E.O.'S COMMENT DOESN'T LOOK GOOD -- OTTAWA'S CASE MIGHT NOT BE A SLAM-DUNK.
00:06:45>> I DON'T THINK THAT THIS CASE
00:06:46IS STRAIGHTFORWARD WITH THAT
00:06:50CONFESSION LAST NIGHT IS A COMPLETE GOTCHA.
00:06:54>> Reporter:THAT LAWYER SANDY WALKER HAS
00:06:57SPECIALIZED IN THIS KIND OF LAW FOR DECADES.
00:07:00SHE SAYS THAT THE BIG QUESTION IS WHETHER OR NOT THAT CLEVELAND-CLIFFS HAD A CHOICE WHEN IT LAID OFF WORKERS
00:07:04OR IT WAS A STRATEGIC DECISION
00:07:04MADE BY THE OWNER.
00:07:08>> Ian:ASHLEY, THIS BATTLE PLAYING OUT VERY PUBLICLY AND THE C.E.O. HAS A NEW COMMENT THIS EVENING?
00:07:11>> Reporter: YEAH, IAN, THE
00:07:13CLEVELAND-CLIFFS' C.E.O. SAID THAT THEY'RE FULLY COMPLIANT
00:07:17WITH ALL OF THE GOVERNMENT
00:07:19COMMITMENTS, AND NOW SAYS THAT HE
00:07:22HOPES TO BRING BACK THE 175 LAID OFF WORKERS BEFORE CHRISTMAS, IF HIS PLAN TO BOOST CANADIAN SALES
00:07:25WORKS.
00:07:33>>> THE BANK OF CANADA HAS RAISED ITS BENCHMARK INTEREST
00:07:37RATE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN YEARS TO 2.5%.
00:07:41AS NISHA PATEL EXPLAINS, IT'S JUST THE LATEST INDICATION THAT
00:07:44HIGH FUEL PRICES ARE PUTTING PRESSURE ON CANADIANS AND THAT
00:07:47THE BANK WORRIES INFLATION COULD BE GETTING WORSE. >> Reporter: AFTER HOLDING
00:07:51INTEREST RATES STEADY FOR ALMOST A YEAR, THE BANK OF CANADA IS
00:07:54MAKING A MOVE. HIKING THE POLICY RATE BY 25
00:07:58BASIS POINTS TO 2.5%. >> THE MAIN ARGUMENT FOR AN
00:08:02INCREASE WAS THAT ENERGY PRICES ARE HIGHER, AND THEY ARE
00:08:04EXPECTED TO REMAIN HIGHER, AND COST PRESSURES ARE BUILDING.
00:08:08>> Reporter: WHICH MEANS THAT PRESSURE IS BUILDING ON THE BANK
00:08:10TO STAY AHEAD OF INFLATION. IT SAYS THAT HIGH FUEL PRICES
00:08:14ARE RAISING THE COSTS OF
00:08:15PRODUCTION AND TRANSPORTATION,
00:08:18BUSINESSES COULD PASS THAT ON. PUSHING UP PRICES MORE BROADLY
00:08:21FOR CONSUMERS.
00:08:23>> SO WE HAVEN'T SEEN BROAD-BASED, YOU KNOW, KIND OF A
00:08:27BROADER-BASED INCREASE IN PRICES, BUT I THINK THAT THE
00:08:30BANK IS STARTING TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT WHAT'S COMING DOWN THE ROAD. >> Reporter: THE HIKE WILL
00:08:33QUICKLY MAKE BORROWING MORE
00:08:34EXPENSIVE FOR CANADIANS WITH AN
00:08:40AUTO LOAN, LINE OF CREDIT, OR A
00:08:44MORTGAGE TIED TO A VARIABLE RATE. FOR EXAMPLE, A HOMEOWNER WITH A
00:08:45$500,000 VARIABLE RATE MORTGAGE COULD NOW BE PAYING ABOUT $70
00:08:48MORE EVERY MONTH.
00:08:54>> IT'S NOT GOING TO, YOU KNOW, TO FEEL GOOD IMMEDIATELY, BUT, YOU KNOW, THAT'S HOW YOU GET INFLATION BACK DOWN.
00:08:57>> Reporter: WHILE VARIABLE RATE MORTGAGES HAVE LOWER INTEREST
00:09:01AND MORE FLEXIBILITY, FOR SOME CANADIANS THEY CAN BE NERVE-RACKING.
00:09:04>> IT WAS VERY UNPREDICTABLE AND
00:09:08STRESSFUL. I'M LIKE HOW MUCH ARE THESE
00:09:10GOING TO INCREASE AND TO WHAT
00:09:14POINT? >> Reporter: BARBARA BEST RECENTLY DECIDED TO LOCK INTO A
00:09:18FIXED RATE. >> SO THAT GAVE ME TOTAL PREDICTABILITY AND CERTAINTY, WHICH PEACE OF MIND WAS REALLY IMPORTANT TO ME.
00:09:22>> Reporter: MORTGAGE EXPERTS SAY THAT STARTING TO RESEARCH EARLY AND SHOPPING AROUND IS KEY.
00:09:25>> THERE'S A LOT OF WIGGLE ROOM FOR THE BANKS, AND THE BANKS
00:09:29WILL DO QUITE A BIT TO KEEP THEIR CUSTOMERS. >> Reporter: THE BANK OF CANADA
00:09:32SAYS THAT MORE INTEREST RATE HIKES ARE POSSIBLE, THOUGH WITH SO MUCH UNCERTAINTY AROUND THE
00:09:36CONFLICT IN THE MIDDLE EAST AND
00:09:45>> Ian: LET'S BRING IN SENIOR BUSINESS CORRESPONDENT PETER ARMSTRONG.
00:09:48PETER, THIS QUARTER POINT CHANGE
00:09:52TO BORROWING COSTS IS OBVIOUSLY
00:09:54NOT GOING TO SOLVE THE IRANIAN THREATS TO SHIPPING IN THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ. SO WHAT IS THE BANK OF CANADA
00:09:58HOPING TO ACHIEVE? >> Reporter: THE IDEA IS TO KEEP
00:10:02INFLATION CONTAINED WITHIN THE ENERGY SECTOR.
00:10:05BECAUSE RIGHT NOW THE INFLATION LARGELY
00:10:08IS THE STORY OF THE COST OF GAS, DIESEL, HOME HEATING FUEL. ONCE THAT SPILLS OVER INTO OTHER CATEGORIES IT GETS A LOT HARDER TO REIN BACK IN AND WE'RE
00:10:12LOOKING AT, WHAT, EIGHT MONTHS
00:10:14NOW OF WAR AND RISING ENERGY COSTS.
00:10:17BUSINESSES CAN EAT THAT FOR A
00:10:20WHILE, BUT THE CENTRAL BANKS WORRY THAT THEIR PATIENCE WON'T LAST.
00:10:24>> AS WE HAVE BEEN SAYING FOR SOME TIME THE LONGER THAT THE PRICES REMAIN HIGH, THE MORE
00:10:27LIKELY THAT THE COSTS WILL SPILL OVER TO CONSUMER PRICES MORE BROADLY.
00:10:30>> Reporter: SO IF YOU PRODUCE
00:10:31STUFF OR SHIP STUFF, YOUR COST
00:10:34OF BUSINESS IS HIGHER NOW BECAUSE GAS AND DIESEL PRICES
00:10:38ARE HIGHER. SO MACKLIN IS HOPING THAT THE INCREASE AND THAT THE MESSAGE
00:10:41THAT THE BANK IS WILLING TO TAKE ACTION IF IT NEEDS TO, THAT THAT WILL PREVENT THAT SPILLOVER FOR
00:10:44A WHILE AT LEAST.
00:10:47>> Ian: OF COURSE RAISING RATES
00:10:49COMES WITH RISKS.
00:10:51>> Reporter: IT DOES. AND THE BANK OF CANADA HAS THIS DILEMMA
00:10:54FOR A WHILE NOW. TWO VERY DIFFERENT PROBLEMS IN
00:10:57THE ECONOMY. ON THE ONE HAND, WEAK GROWTH AND ON THE OTHER, RISING INFLATION. AND THE PROBLEM WITH THE BANK IS
00:11:01THAT IT ONLY DO ONE THING AT A TIME, RAISE OR CUT INTEREST RATES.
00:11:04NORMALLY TO FIGHT WEAK GROWTH YOU CUT RATES.
00:11:07AND THAT WOULD MAKE INFLATION WORSE.
00:11:09TO FIGHT INFLATION, YOU RAISE
00:11:11THOSE RATES, BUT THAT IS GOING TO MAKE THAT SLOW GROWTH EVEN WORSE.
00:11:15SO WE HAVE TWO PROBLEMS WITH TWO TOTALLY DIFFERENT SOLUTIONS THAT ACTUALLY MAKE THE OTHER ONE WORSE.
00:11:18>> Ian: OKAY, AND ANY IDEA OF WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT WHEN IT COMES TO RATES?
00:11:21>> Reporter: SO THE BANK SAYS THAT IT WILL TAKE THIS ONE AT A
00:11:25TIME, BUT THAT THERE COULD BE A NEED TO RAISE THE POLICY RATE FURTHER. WE HAVE BEEN HEARING FROM
00:11:29ECONOMISTS THROUGHOUT THE DAY
00:11:36HIKES BY THE END OF NEXT YEAR. >> Ian: PETER ARMSTRONG. >>> DAYS AHEAD OF THE U.S.
00:11:40MIDTERM ELECTIONS, MARK CARNEY SAYS THAT OTTAWA IS NOT IN A POSITION TO MAKE A TRADE DEAL
00:11:43AND WILL ONLY ENTERTAIN AN AGREEMENT WHEN IT SUITS CANADIANS.
00:11:45>> Rt. Hon. Mark Carney: WE HAVE
00:11:48BEEN CONSISTENT, IF THOSE DEALS
00:11:50PRESENT THEMSELVES, WE WILL --
00:11:53WE WILL PURSUE THEM. BUT WE'RE NOT AT THAT POSITION RIGHT NOW.
00:11:57THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> Ian: WHILE TALKS HAVE
00:12:00RECENTLY INTENSIFIED, A SOURCE TOLD CBC
00:12:04NEWS EARLIER THIS WEEK THAT AN AGREEMENT IS NOT IMMINENT. CANADA-U.S. TRADE TENSIONS ARE AMONG THE KEY ISSUES AS THE AMERICANS PREPARE TO VOTE ON
00:12:07TUESDAY.
00:12:10>>> CANADA IS HOSTING EUROPEAN UNION OFFICIALS IN MONTRÉAL THIS
00:12:12WEEK.
00:12:15WITH TALKS ON STRENGTHENING TIES
00:12:17AT THE TOP OF THE AGENDA. CBC NEWS HAS LEARNED THAT THE
00:12:20E.U. IS DROPPING ITS OFFER TO
00:12:32>> Reporter: DEFINITELY.
00:12:34SOURCES SAY THAT THIS ASSOCIATE
00:12:37MEMBERSHIP NAME HAVE BEEN DIVISIVE.
00:12:39AND SOME NATIONS DID NOT LIKE IT AND GERMANY IN PARTICULAR FELT
00:12:42THAT IT WAS A RED LINE. I DID GET A COPY OF A DRAFT
00:12:46JOINT STATEMENT WITH CANADA AND THE E.U. THAT THE MEMBERSHIPS OF THE E.U. JUST FINALIZED. NOW SOURCES TELL US THAT THE ASSOCIATE MEMBERSHIP TERM WAS
00:12:50REMOVED. NOW THEY'RE JUST CALLING IT AN
00:12:53EVER CLOSER ASSOCIATION SHORT OF FULL MEMBERSHIP ITSELF.
00:12:57AND THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF
00:12:59CONFUSION EVER SINCE EUROPEAN
00:13:02COMMISSION PRESIDENT URSULA von der LEYEN SAID THAT SHE WANTED
00:13:04TO MAKE CANADA THIS ASSOCIATE MEMBER.
00:13:07AND DESPITE E.U. MEMBER STATES OPPOSING IT, SHE IS STILL USING THE TITLE AND POSTING ON SOCIAL
00:13:11MEDIA "RARELY HAVE I LOOKED FORWARD TO A SUMMIT THIS MUCH.
00:13:14WE HAVE A NEW AMBITION -- BRINGING CANADA CLOSER TO US
00:13:18THAN EVER BEFORE AS ASSOCIATE MEMBER OF THE E.U.."
00:13:21NOW PRIME MINISTER MARK CARNEY WILL MEET WITH HER HERE IN MONTRÉAL.
00:13:25HE HAS REPEATEDLY SAID THAT THE NAME DOESN'T REALLY MATTER TO
00:13:27CANADA, IT'S ABOUT THE
00:13:30SUBSTANCE.
00:13:31>> Rt. Hon. Mark Carney: THIS IS
00:13:35THE LAUNCH OF FURTHER FORMAL DISCUSSIONS, NEGOTIATIONS OVER THE COURSE OF THE NEXT YEAR.
00:13:39THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT IT DOESN'T MATTER ABOUT SPECIFIC NAMES OR NOMENCLATURE, WHAT MATTERS IS THE DIFFERENCE THAT IT WILL MAKE
00:13:43TO THE LIVES OF CANADIANS. >> Reporter:NOW von der LEYEN
00:13:46CAN SUGGEST WHATEVER SHE WANTS,
00:13:48BUT ULTIMATELY IT'S THE E.U.
00:13:52MEMBER STATES THAT GET TO DECIDE ABOUT THE ASSOCIATE MEMBERSHIP AND NOT HER. AND WHILE THEY AGREE THEY WANT CLOSER TIES TO CANADA, THEY
00:13:55DON'T SEEM TO WANT THIS TITLE.
00:13:58>> Ian:AND WHAT CAN WE EXPECT OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS?
00:14:01>> Reporter: WELL, MEETINGS OF
00:14:03von der LEYEN AND BRIEFINGS
00:14:08THAT REALLY HAVE BEEN HAMMERING OUT THESE DEEPER TIES WITHIN THE NEXT YEAR.
00:14:12AND BASED ON STATEMENTS, THERE ARE DOZENS OF ITEMS THEY WANT TO COORDINATE ON -- EDUCATION, RESEARCH, ENERGY, SHARED INFRASTRUCTURE, AND
00:14:15CYBERSECURITY.
00:14:18ALSO PREPARING FOR MORE THREATS. FOR EVERYTHING FROM PANDEMICS TO
00:14:27>>> AS CANADA AND EUROPE PUSH FOR CLOSER TIES, A LOOMING E.U. CARBON TARIFF COULD GET IN THE
00:14:30WAY.
00:14:34CHARGES ON ENERGY AND INTENSIVE IMPORTS BEGIN NEXT YEAR AND AS
00:14:38DAVID THURTON SHOWS US, OTTAWA IS PUSHING FOR A DEAL TO PROTECT INDUSTRIES LIKE STEEL
00:14:42THAT ARE ALREADY STRUGGLING. >> Reporter: CANADA WANTS TO
00:14:46SEND MORE STEEL AND ALUMINUM TO EUROPE, BUT IT COULD BE FACING A NEW KIND OF TARIFF.
00:14:49>> IT'S A BIG DEAL CONCEPTUALLY.
00:14:51>> Reporter: THE EUROPEAN UNION
00:14:54IS ROLLING OUT A CARBON LEVY TO
00:14:58INCENTIVIZE CLEANER PROTECTION,
00:14:59NOT JUST METALS BUT OTHER INTENSIVE IMPORTS.
00:15:03>> THIS IS A BIG CHANGE IN THE WAY THAT TRADE GETS TREATED AND
00:15:07WE'RE SEEING OTHER PLACES AROUND THE WORLD INTERESTED IN THIS APPROACH.
00:15:11>> Reporter: CBC NEWS GOT THIS DOCUMENT THAT SHEDS LIGHT ON THE
00:15:15E.U.'S PLANS. IT CALLS THE MECHANISM
00:15:19EFFECTIVELY A CARBON TARIFF, AND
00:15:21NOTES THAT EVEN WITH CANADA'S INDUSTRIAL CARBON PRICING SYSTEM THAT CANADIAN
00:15:24EXPORTERS ARE NOT EXEMPT. AND OTTAWA IS FOCUSED ON MINIMIZING THE IMPACTS.
00:15:27>> WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY ARE NOT PAYING A CARBON PRICE HERE AND A CARBON
00:15:31TARIFF?
00:15:34>> Reporter:ENVIRONMENT MINISTER SUGGESTED THAT THE E.U. COULD
00:15:38RECOGNIZE WHAT CANADA IS DOING TO FIGHT CLIMATE CHANGE.
00:15:42>> INDUSTRIAL CARBON IS VERY IMPORTANT PART OF HOW WE MAKE SURE THAT OUR BUSINESSES ARE COMPETITIVE
00:15:45INTERNATIONALLY AS WELL. AND AT THE SAME TIME WE'RE ACTUALLY WORKING ON REDUCING EMISSIONS. >> Reporter: CANADA'S MAJOR
00:15:49METALS PRODUCERS, RIO TINTO
00:15:53DECLINED TO COMMENT. BUT ONE EXPORTER SEES AN UPSIDE. >> SO THIS IS A PIECE FROM ONE
00:15:56OF OUR HIGHER GRADE --
00:16:00>> Reporter:CANADA NICKEL IS ADVANCING THE CRAWFORD PROJECT, A MINE IN
00:16:03TIMMINS, ONTARIO, WITH THE HOPES
00:16:06OF SHIPPING STEEL TO EUROPE. >> FOR US IT'S A TREMENDOUS
00:16:10OPPORTUNITY AND WHAT WE HAVE IN TIMMINS AREA AND CRAWFORD WE HOPE TO BE THE FIRST OF MULTIPLE
00:16:13PROJECTS, YOU KNOW, TO BECOME THE LEADING SOURCE OF
00:16:16LOW-CARBON, AND ZERO-CARBON STEEL FOR EUROPE.
00:16:19>> Reporter: THE E.U. IS NOT AN OUTLIER ON THIS AND OTHER COUNTRIES INCLUDING THE UNITED
00:16:23KINGDOM AND AUSTRALIA AND JAPAN ARE DEVELOPING OR ASSESSING
00:16:27THEIR OWN CARBON BORDER TAXES.
00:16:30DAVID THURTON, CBC NEWS, OTTAWA. >> Ian: RISING FUEL COSTS HAVE
00:16:33FORCED A LUXURY RESIDENTIAL CRUISE SHIP TO BRING ITS
00:16:36CONTINUOUS VOYAGE TO AN END.
00:16:38>> THE CHALLENGE IS A LOT OF
00:16:41PEOPLE NOW HAVE NO PLACE TO GO,
00:16:50THIS WAS THEIR HOME. >> Ian: SOME PASSENGERS HAD PURCHASED THEIR QUARTERS, AND NOW AFTER MORE THAN TWO YEARS AT SEA THEY'RE LEFT STRANDED. MEASURES TO REDUCE CONSUMPTION
00:16:54LIKE LONGER STAYS IN PORT WERE NOT ENOUGH TO KEEP GOING.
00:16:57AVERAGE MONTHLY FUEL COSTS CLIMBED FROM $1800 PER CABIN TO AN ESTIMATED
00:17:00$6,000 TO $8,000.
00:17:03>> DEFEATED PRESIDENTIAL
00:17:05CANDIDATE FLAVIO BOLSONARO IS
00:17:09CLAIMING THAT HE IS THE RIGHTFUL
00:17:12LEADER OF THE COUNTRY TONIGHT AFTER FLEEING TO THE UNITED STATES.
00:17:16BOLSONARO WAS SEEN ARRIVING IN MIAMI WITH HIS FAMILY AFTER THE U.S. GRANTED THEM VISAS.
00:17:20HE CALLED FOR HIS ELECTION LOSS ON SUNDAY TO LUIZ INÁCIO LULA
00:17:23da SILVA TO BE ANNULLED.
00:17:27BOLSONARO SAYS THAT HE'LL LEAD BRAZIL'S OPPOSITION FROM EXILE.
00:17:30HE'S UNDER INVESTIGATION IN BRAZIL FOR ALLEGED MONEY
00:17:31LAUNDERING.
00:17:35>>> TONIGHT VOTES ARE STILL BEING COUNTED IN ISRAEL'S
00:17:37ELECTION AND THERE'S NO CLEAR SENSE OF WHO THE WINNER IS, AND
00:17:41LOTS OF QUESTIONS ABOUT WHO WILL EVENTUALLY FORM GOVERNMENT. CBC NEWS SENIOR INTERNATIONAL
00:17:45CORRESPONDENT MARGARET EVANS IS COVERING THE ELECTION FROM
00:17:48JERUSALEM, AND, MARGARET,
00:17:51THERE'S BEEN A RECORD NUMBER OF VOTES CAST IN THIS ELECTION.
00:17:55WHEN CAN WE EXPECT THE FINAL RESULT? >> Reporter: WELL, HOPEFULLY TOMORROW, IAN.
00:17:58THEY'VE NOW MOVED TO THESE VOTES THAT THEY CALL THEM THE SECOND ENVELOPE VOTES.
00:18:01THEY'RE BASICALLY THE BALLOTS
00:18:05SENT IN BY PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN AUTHORIZED TO VOTE AWAY FROM THEIR HOME CONSTITUENCY, SO
00:18:09SOLDIERS, DIPLOMATS, AND CRITICAL CARE WORKERS, THAT KIND OF THING.
00:18:13BUT IT'S A LOT OF VOTES AND IT'S
00:18:14ABOUT 450,000 VOTES TO COUNT.
00:18:19WHEN THEY HAVE THE RESULTS THEY'LL BE BROADCAST ON LIVE TELEVISION.
00:18:21AFTER THAT THE PRESIDENT OF

00:44:48AND FOUND A CRATE HIDDEN FILLED
00:44:52WITH VACUUM BAGS OF CANNABIS. ABOUT ONE KILO EVERY BAG. >> Reporter: THAT IS CANADIAN CANNABIS? >> YES, THAT IS.
00:44:55>> Reporter: THE LEGALIZATION OF CANNABIS IN CANADA IS HAVING AN
00:44:59UNINTENDED BUT SERIOUS EFFECT
00:45:01ACROSS THE ATLANTIC.
00:45:0321 TONNES OF CANADIAN MARIJUANA
00:45:06WERE SEIZED HERE AT THE BELGIAN
00:45:09PORT OF ANTWERP LAST YEAR, ABOUT
00:45:14FOUR TIMES MORE THAN THE YEAR BEFORE. >> EITHER YOU EARN A LOT OF MONEY OR YOU DON'T DO IT.
00:45:16>> Reporter: HE'S THE HEAD OF
00:45:18CUSTOMS IN BELGIUM AND HE SAID
00:45:21SEIZURES OF CANADIAN CANNABIS AT
00:45:24ITS MAIN PORT EXCEED EVERY OTHER COUNTRY IN THE WORLD.
00:45:27WHY CANADIAN CANNABIS? >> ACCORDING TO MY INFORMATION
00:45:30IT HAS TO DO WITH THE POLICY OF
00:45:32THE CANADIAN GOVERNMENT TO LEGALIZE THE PRODUCTION AND CONCEPTION.
00:45:35SO YOU HAVE A LOT OF PRODUCTION AND THEN YOU WANT TO SELL IT.
00:45:38ON TOP OF THIS, 320 MILLION
00:45:41EUROPEANS WHO HAVE MONEY TO BUY
00:45:43THIS, SO IT'S AN IMMENSE MARKET.
00:45:46>> Reporter: THE PORT OF ANTWERP IS AN IMMENSE GATEWAY TO THAT
00:45:49MARKET.
00:45:50WEED LEGALLY GROWN IN CANADA
00:45:55SINCE 2018 IS ILLEGALLY SMUGGLED
00:45:56THROUGH HERE AND SOLD FOR TOP
00:46:00DOLLAR ON THE STREETS OF EUROPE, FOR FOUR TO SIX TIMES AS MUCH IN CANADA. >> THIS IS A SUPPLY DRIVEN
00:46:03MARKET.
00:46:06>> Reporter: SHE IS BELGIUM'S FIRST EVER DRUG COMMISSIONER. >> THE PROBLEM IS THAT CRIMINAL
00:46:10ORGINISATIONS ARE MAKING A LOT OF MONEY EXPORTING CANNABIS FROM
00:46:13CANADA. AND THIS HAS AN EFFECT ON OUR
00:46:16STREETS. THE SHOOTINGS THAT WE SEE ARE MAINLY RELATED TO COCAINE, BUT
00:46:20ALSO TO CANNABIS.
00:46:23>> Reporter: A SPIKE IN DRUG
00:46:25TURF WARS HAS TERRORIZED BELGIUM
00:46:27CITIES.
00:46:30AND THE LATEST TALLY IN BRUSSELS ALONE, 74 SHOOTINGS SO FAR THIS YEAR.
00:46:33THE SURGE PROMPTED ONE JUDGE TO WARN THAT BELGIUM WAS EVOLVING
00:46:36INTO, QUOTE, A NARCO STATE.
00:46:39AS A DOORWAY TO THE CONTINENT, BELGIUM'S DRUG PROBLEM IS ALSO
00:46:43EUROPE'S PROBLEM, AND THE NATURE OF THAT DRUG PROBLEM IS CHANGING.
00:46:46WHAT DOES IT TELL YOU THAT IN THE FIRST SIX MONTHS OF THIS
00:46:49YEAR THAT COCAINE ARRIVALS AT YOUR PORT HAVE BEEN EXCEEDED BY
00:46:52CANNABIS? >> WELL, IT MEANS THAT THE
00:46:55CRIMINAL ORGINISATIONS ADAPT
00:46:59VERY FAST TO NEW POLICY CONTEXT. I THINK THAT WE CANNOT BE NAIVE
00:47:03AND WE HAVE TO SEE THE WHOLE
00:47:06IMPACT ON A GLOBAL SCALE OF WHAT
00:47:11A LOCAL POLICY CAN PROVOKE. >> Reporter: A WORLD'S WORTH OF
00:47:14SUCH IMPACTS ROUTINELY LANDS AT
00:47:17THE PORT OF ANTWERP, ALONG THE
00:47:19COCAINE PORTAL TO EUROPE. AND WHERE THE BELGIAN CUSTOMS
00:47:22ARE BATTLING TO STAY AHEAD OF
00:47:23THE CRIMINALS RESPONSIBLE.
00:47:26>> SMUGGLING IS LIKE SURFING.
00:47:31YOU HAVE TO FIND A WAVE.
00:47:34THE WAVE IS WHAT IS EXISTING
00:47:38THAT THOSE CRIMINAL ORGANIZATIONS WHO ARE DEALING WITH THE COCAINE ARE ALSO DEALING WITH THE ECONOMIES.
00:47:41>> WE'RE NOW GOING TO THE
00:47:44SCAN TUNNEL. >> Reporter: THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THAT CANADIAN JOURNALISTS
00:47:48GET A GLIMPSE INTO THE INNER WORKINGS OF CUSTOMS AT THE PORT.
00:47:49OUR GUIDE IS THE COMMUNICATIONS
00:47:54OFFICER SARAH VON COTTON.
00:47:56>> A LOT OF CRITERIA ARE BEING
00:48:03USED TO DECIDE WHETHER OR NOT A CONTAINER IS A RISKY ONE OR NOT. >> Reporter: CHOOSING WHICH
00:48:07CONTAINERS TO CHECK IS A CALCULATION AGAINST A CHECKLIST OF RISKS. MORE RECENTLY CANADIAN CONTAINERS ARE GETTING MORE SCRUTINY.
00:48:11BUT ONLY A FRACTION OF THE 13.5 MILLION CONTAINERS FLOWING THROUGH HERE EVERY YEAR IS
00:48:15CHECKED.
00:48:18>> THE RATE OF WHAT WE CHECK IS
00:48:19BETWEEN 1% AND 2%, LIKE OTHER
00:48:23PORTS, WITH HIGHER PERCENTAGE OF INCOMING CONTAINERS AND A LOWER PERCENTAGE OF EXPORTING
00:48:27CONTAINERS.
00:48:28THIS IS OUR FIXED --
00:48:32>> Reporter: TO BOLSTER THEIR
00:48:35INSPECTIONS, CUSTOMS USE A NUMBER OF TOOLS, INCLUDING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND SCANNERS LIKE THIS ONE.
00:48:39SO IT'S JUST LIKE AN X-RAY?
00:48:47>> IT IS. >> Reporter: AND IT ONLY TAKES MINUTES FOR A CONTAINER TO BE SCANNED BUT SOMETIMES THE ONLY WAY TO FIND WHAT MAY BE STASHED
00:48:50INSIDE IS TO PRY IT OPEN.
00:48:53AND SOMETIMES WHAT LOOKS INNOCUOUS IS ANYTHING BUT.
00:48:56>> THIS WAS A CONTAINER FROM PEOPLE MOVING FROM CANADA TO
00:48:58FRANCE.
00:49:01THERE WILL BE APPLIANCES AND
00:49:03THERE WILL BE FURNITURE. >> Reporter: SO A MOVING TRUCK EFFECTIVELY FULL OF STUFF. OKAY.
00:49:07>> SO EVEN IF YOU ENLARGE THAT IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE IF ANYTHING IS OFF.
00:49:11THE ONLY OPTION IS TO OPEN IT AND THEY DID.
00:49:15AND THEN THEY FOUND TWO ELECTRIC
00:49:17JUKE BOXES. >> Reporter: YES, SHE'S SAYING
00:49:21JUKE BOXES, SUCH AS IN MUSIC
00:49:25PLAYERS. >> BUT TO MAKE IT WORK, THEY LOOKED INSIDE THE MACHINES AND THEY FOUND INSIDE THE PACKAGES OF CANNABIS. >> Reporter: WHAT HAPPENS TO THE
00:49:28STUFF, THE CANNABIS, AFTER IT IS FOUND?
00:49:30>> THE DRUG IS TAKEN TO THE
00:49:33INCINERATOR TO GET BURNED.
00:49:36>> Reporter: WITH CANADIAN
00:49:37CANNABIS SEIZURES SOARING LAST
00:49:42YEAR, HE RAISED THE ALARM WITH HIS CANADIAN COUNTERPARTS THAT LED
00:49:46TO AN AGREEMENT QUIETLY SIGNED BETWEEN CANADA AND BELGIUM AS WELL AS FRANCE AND THE NETHERLANDS TO WORK ON STYMIEING
00:49:49THE SMUGGLERS TOGETHER.
00:49:53>> CANADIANS ARE UPSCALING THEIR
00:49:56INSPECTIONS AND THEY SEIZED ALSO LAST YEAR 46 TONNES.
00:50:00SO THEY'RE DOING A GREAT JOB. >> Reporter: ARE THEY DOING
00:50:04ENOUGH GIVEN THE SCALE OF THE PROBLEM? >> YOU CAN ALWAYS DO MORE, BUT THAT MEANS CAPACITY, AND THAT MEANS THE MEANS, AND THAT IS UP
00:50:07TO THE POLITICIANS TO DECIDE. >> Reporter: THE CANADA BORDER
00:50:11SERVICES AGENCY CONFIRMED THAT THERE'S A MARKED INCREASE IN CANNABIS EXPORT, ESPECIALLY TO
00:50:15EUROPE. THAT WITH THE RCMP, THEY ARE
00:50:18WORKING WITH INTERNATIONAL PARTNERS TO FIGHT THE CRIMINAL
00:50:21NETWORKS RESPONSIBLE.
00:50:26AN INTERNATIONAL PROBLEM, OFFICIALS HERE INSIST THAT REQUIRES AN INTERNATIONAL
00:50:27SOLUTION. EVEN IF, LIKE CANADA'S MARIJUANA
00:50:31LAWS, IT BEGINS WITH LOCAL POLICY.
00:50:34>> IT WILL NOT HELP US TO BLAME EACH OTHER, BECAUSE WE NEED EACH
00:50:37OTHER. THIS IS REALLY A LOCAL ISSUE.
00:50:40IF WE DON'T FOCUS ON THE GLOBAL LEVEL AND WE DON'T ACT ON THE
00:50:44LOCAL LEVEL, WE WILL NEVER COME
00:50:46TO SOMETHING SUSTAINABLE.
00:50:52>> Reporter:EUROPOL TOLD CBC NEWS THAT THE ILLICIT TRADE WILL
00:50:55LIKELY PERSIST AND EVEN GROW IN EUROPE.
00:50:57A MATTER TO CONSIDER AS CANADA AND THE E.U.
00:51:00LOOK TO DEEPEN THEIR TIES. >> Ian: EUROPEAN POLICE TOLD CBC
00:51:04NEWS THAT SMUGGLERS MIGHT TRY TO SHIP CONTAINERS THROUGH THE U.S.
00:51:07TO REDUCE SUSPICIONS ONCE THEY

01:00:37HIKES ITS KEY LENDING RATE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MORE THAN
01:00:39THREE YEARS. >> HOW MUCH ARE THESE GOING TO
01:00:42INCREASE AND TO WHAT POINT? >> Ian: WHY THE BANK SAYS THAT
01:00:45IT NEEDED TO MOVE AND THE IMPACT THAT IT COULD HAVE ON YOUR BOTTOM LINE.
