EXCERPT:

CARNEY: “Pardon me. So the first thing to say is there's a big game today, and the president and I discussed the Canada-U.S. game and of course we'll behind our team. Secondly, we discussed a number of issues, international issues. Thirdly, we discussed the bridge, I explained that Canada was paid for the construction of the bridge over $4 billion, that the ownership is shared between the state of Michigan and the government of Canada, and that in the construction of the bridge, obviously there's Canadian steel, Canadian workers, but also U.S. steel, U.S. workers that are involved. This is a great example of cooperation between our countries.”
