Following the re-election of former U.S. president Donald Trump, former finance minister Bill Morneau says the Canadian government should re-evaluate the timing of some cornerstone Liberal policies.

Following the re-election of former U.S. president Donald Trump, former finance minister Bill Morneau says the Canadian government should re-evaluate the timing of some cornerstone Liberal policies, such as the oil and gas sector emissions cap, in order to better align with its southern neighbour and its new incoming administration.

“So, as I go through those one by one, we will need to think about how we get to our defence spending targets more rapidly than the government has currently laid out. We're going to need to think about whether we focus on energy security in a way that makes us clearly an important part of the U.S. sector that way,” he added.

Trump, meanwhile, has promised to boost America’s fossil fuel production and extract more oil, saying during his speech at the Republican National Convention in July: “Drill, baby, drill.” Prime Minister Justin Trudeau congratulated Trump on his re-election this week and told reporters on Parliament Hill on Wednesday he’s looking forward to working with the president-elect. But bilateral relations were strained during Trump’s first term, as was the relationship between the two leaders themselves.

“But the other is within our control, and that's our domestic economic policies,” she also said, pointing to a need to make Canada more competitive.
