the globe, indeed, immediately upon my return i joined president obama and canadian prime minister harper to announce the beyond the borders action plan which dhs has had a key role in shaping and will have a primary role in implementing. canada is our largest trading partner, and this action plan will further strengthen coordination with the combination of security and the facilitation of trade and commerce across the border. so this new paradigm, the engagement at the interior/home secretary level, the merger of security interests with travel and trade and commercial interests becomes, i believe, the new future of homeland security. and in the end, i think it will help make us even more secure. so i will stop talking there, terry, and let's have some conversation. thank you all very much. [applause] >> well, that gives us a lot to talk about. a new paradigm for engaging international partners on these issues, and i want to ask about that in kind of a general sense. some of the partnerships that you're developing are not with traditional, he is to haveically close allies. you're branchin

canada's prime minister steven harper has said that the decision to delay approval of key dean x.l. demonstrates, his words, "the necessity of making sure that we're able to access asian markets" -- asian markets, mr. president -- "for our energy products." that's what'what the canadian pr said. approval to delay decision of the pipeline is a "clear reminder about the strategic importance of diversifying our export markets." "a clear reminder about the strategic importance of diversifying our export markets." in other words, canada has a tremendous amount of oil. and canada will ensure that its oil is brought to market. it may go to the united states. it may go to china. it may go to another country. but canada's oil will be brought to market. thus the question for president obama is very simple, very straightforward: is it in america's interest to reduce our dependence on oil from the persian gulf and from venezuela? is it in america's interest to create tens of thousands of new jobs at a time of 8.6% unemployment? the answer is abundantly obvious. the answer, of course, is "yes."
