A high-profile cabinet minister in this country will not be running again

00:00:04.900 --> 00:00:09.560
in election widely believed to be coming soon infrastructure in communities minister

re-election as a member of parliament fraud was center whatever the election happens.

00:00:26.370 --> 00:00:30.640
It was a difficult decision but it's the right one for me and my

00:00:30.640 --> 00:00:31.990
family.

00:00:31.990 --> 00:00:35.530
And, it's the right time to make it.

00:00:35.530 --> 00:00:37.810
Like many canadians living

00:00:37.810 --> 00:00:42.460
three covered nineteen over a very long year.

00:00:42.460 --> 00:00:44.280
Maybe step back.

00:00:44.280 --> 00:00:48.270
And, reflect on what matters to me most.

00:00:48.270 --> 00:00:51.790

...good to see you carina at times during this press conference

00:01:01.850 --> 00:01:06.800
...was quite emotional wasn't she especially when talking about our children and some of the things that she's

00:01:06.800 --> 00:01:13.380
been able to accomplish what did she have to say to those gathered there.

00:01:13.380 --> 00:01:18.230
She was emotional but she also she was quite zen about the...so, you know,

00:01:18.230 --> 00:01:22.140
not emotional because she feels the wrong decision for her just because

00:01:22.140 --> 00:01:26.910
the significance decision she said basically she have accomplished what she set out to do

00:01:26.910 --> 00:01:30.980
...politics and what she wants to do next can be accomplished outside

00:01:30.980 --> 00:01:36.750
of politics outside of government she says no one's...climate plan for

00:01:36.750 --> 00:01:41.190
...nation is something to accomplish a price on pollution is something that she thought

00:01:41.190 --> 00:01:46.000
harbour at when she was environment and climate change minister she also of course said she wants

00:01:46.000 --> 00:01:51.200
to spend more time with their kids who are now teens and one heading off to university so,

00:01:51.200 --> 00:01:54.980
she wants to spend more time with them she also talk about what this move

00:01:54.980 --> 00:01:59.760
is not about it's not because she doesn't believe that she can continue to do

00:01:59.760 --> 00:02:04.460
...climate change within government she that she feels she has to go outside of government to do it she says it's

00:02:04.460 --> 00:02:09.240
not about that and he feels that people can accomplish what they need to do inside and

00:02:09.240 --> 00:02:12.090
outside government it's not because she was unhappy with

00:02:12.090 --> 00:02:15.360
the move to infrastructure in fact he talked about be accomplishments

00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:19.750
...made infrastructure minister towards those climate change goals...

00:02:19.750 --> 00:02:25.190
just in another ministry and she said it's not because of the mythology and

00:02:25.190 --> 00:02:27.200
...she in particular

00:02:27.200 --> 00:02:32.830
encountered in her time as ministers in terms of the across the aisle

00:02:32.830 --> 00:02:38.220
of the opposition some of the things that were said about her and, of course the

00:02:38.220 --> 00:02:42.740
...I guess you could call attack things that are written on her constituency office

00:02:42.740 --> 00:02:47.790
urine or what that while those were upsetting for she fought back against those kinds of

00:02:47.790 --> 00:02:50.870
attitudes that's not why she's leaving and she said she

00:02:50.870 --> 00:02:55.020
has hope that even though she's leaving that her time in office can

00:02:55.020 --> 00:03:02.640
inspire other women other girls to choose politics here's what she had to say on that?

00:03:02.640 --> 00:03:05.130
I say this is my team and to the many

00:03:05.130 --> 00:03:10.310
coins people who have reached out about the political environment.

00:03:10.310 --> 00:03:13.900
And, I said especially to young girls out there.

00:03:13.900 --> 00:03:19.660
...thinking about politics and about whether it's for them do it.

00:03:19.660 --> 00:03:23.340
And, when you do it don't be afraid to run like a girl?

00:03:23.340 --> 00:03:28.110
And, I'll be there cheering you on.

00:03:28.110 --> 00:03:33.040
Now of course there's been reaction today she said she said she told the prime minister on the weekend

00:03:33.040 --> 00:03:37.810
up her decision just about ten minutes ago the prime minister treated and that

00:03:37.810 --> 00:03:42.390
happened kind of works tirelessly to tackle climate change protector environment to

00:03:42.390 --> 00:03:45.490
...our communities and to inspire women and girls

00:03:45.490 --> 00:03:50.900
...your work will have a positive impact for generations to come stay here there is also

00:03:50.900 --> 00:03:53.450
...from her successor

00:03:53.450 --> 00:03:57.400
...mr wilkinson who's now the environment minister saying that she will go down

00:03:57.400 --> 00:04:02.090
...one of the brakes and that we wouldn't have we have in place in terms of price and pollution

00:04:02.090 --> 00:04:07.360
without her also from across the aisle michael chong...conservative party sometimes not

00:04:07.360 --> 00:04:12.200
entirely in step with his party probably seen as a more progressive conservative

00:04:12.200 --> 00:04:15.720
...conservative but he said despite appearances many of us are friends across the

00:04:15.720 --> 00:04:20.370
file we first met when we were teenagers that you have t we've been friends ever...all the

00:04:20.370 --> 00:04:26.590
best my friends soquite a bit reaction today of course...her official announcement now mccann

00:04:26.590 --> 00:04:31.470
his departure will of course create a vacancy in that covered in downtown of

00:04:31.470 --> 00:04:35.160
...I see to me the seed isn't even cool yet carina but there's plenty

00:04:35.160 --> 00:04:42.630
of chatter about what we might see in the writing of our was center when an election is called.

00:04:42.630 --> 00:04:47.470
Yes, so, used to be actually...back in the nineties...a liberal stronghold

00:04:47.470 --> 00:04:52.100
than the key took it over...broad fences at all doer so,

00:04:52.100 --> 00:04:56.200
became an n dp stronghold she managed to rested away from the

00:04:56.200 --> 00:05:02.030
...from the late pol doer in twenty fifteen so definitely both parties on

00:05:02.030 --> 00:05:06.680
the progressive side will be fighting for this now we don't know-how

00:05:06.680 --> 00:05:09.870
...might when we might have an election even there's lots of speculation of course

00:05:09.870 --> 00:05:13.120
the fall there has been speculation about mark carney

00:05:13.120 --> 00:05:18.050
perhaps finding this an opportunity for him to step into this writing and,

00:05:18.050 --> 00:05:23.640
...and try and take it for the liberals but again that is just speculation and,

00:05:23.640 --> 00:05:26.670
...asked about that...he's a great friend he would be a great

00:05:26.670 --> 00:05:30.820
nt but she also talked about wanting to see more women and minorities

00:05:30.820 --> 00:05:36.030
enter politics and certainly he would necessary fill that bill so,...will be interesting to see when both

00:05:36.030 --> 00:05:40.950
liberals and the n dp do when it comes is writing now that it might be seen as an

00:05:40.950 --> 00:05:46.220
operates...thank you for this...carina roman in auto off?
