>> Rosemary: ON THIS SUNDAY
NIGHT --
>> IT'S NOT JUST UP TO THE
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.
IT REALLY HAS TO BE A TEAM
APPROACH, INTERNATIONALLY AND
HERE IN CANADA.
>> Rosemary: THE GOVERNMENT SAYS
THE LATEST CLIMATE CHANGE DEAL
HAS ROOM FOR OPTIMISM, BUT WHY
DON'T COUNTRIES AGREE ON TARGETS
FOR REDUCING EMISSIONS.
>> EVERYONE WANTS DETAILS AND
NONE ARE REALLY AVAILABLE.
>> Rosemary: ONTARIO TAKES OUT
THE SCISSORS TO DEAL WITH A
MASSIVE PROVINCIAL DEBT.
WHY RESIDENTS HAVEN'T SEEN
ANYTHING YET.
>> ADRIENNE, I'VE NEVER IN MY
LIFE RUN UP AGAINST SUCH
IMMOVABLE POWER.
WHEN THAT POWER TURNS ON YOU,
IT'S TERRIFYING.
>> Rosemary: MARK TEWKSBURY WITH
HIS VERY PERSONAL TAKE ON THE
OLYMPICS.
WHAT HE SAID HE WOULD DO IF HE
WAS IN CHARGE.
THIS IS "THE NATIONAL."
>> Rosemary: THE TIME FRAME WAS
TIGHT, JUST TWO WEEKS, AND THE
TASK WAS AN AMBITIOUS ONE.
AGREEMENT AMONG ALL NATIONS
THE TARGET WAS A TRICKY ONE.
ONE NEW SET OF GLOBAL STANDARDS.
THE URGENCY, CRYSTAL CLEAR,
UNRELENTING CLIMATE CHANGE.
AFTER INTENSE TALKS WENT INTO
OVERTIME TO OVERCOME AN IMPASSE,
FINALLY, THERE WAS A
BREAKTHROUGH.
LEADERS FROM ALMOST 200
COUNTRIES INCLUDING CANADA FOUND
SOME COMMON GROUND.
SALIMAH SHIVJI WITH A CLOSER
LOOK AT THE NEW RULE BOOK THAT
CRITICS SAY DOESN'T GO NEARLY
FAR ENOUGH.
>> IT IS SO DECIDED.
>> Reporter: WITH THAT, THE DEAL
IS DONE.
TO CHEERS AND JUBILANCE BY
POLITICAL LEADERS AFTER A LONG
NIGHT OF NEGOTIATIONS, TO SAVE
THE CHANGES MADE IN PARIS.
RICHER COUNTRIES WILL HELP
POORER ONES PAY FOR THEIR
MEASURES TO TACKLE GLOBAL
WARMING.
ARRIVING HOME, THE LEADER OF
CANADA'S DELEGATION WAS FULL OF
PRAISE.
>> IN THIS TIME, YOU HAD ALMOST
200 COUNTRIES COME TOGETHER AND
HAVE REALLY TOUGH NEGOTIATIONS,
BUT IN THE END, AGREE ON
SOMETHING SO CRITICALLY
IMPORTANT, CLIMATE CHANGE.
>> Reporter: BUT THERE WAS
PLENTY THEY COULDN'T AGREE ON.
HOW TO REDUCE EMISSIONS IN
CAP-AND-TRADE SYSTEMS LIKE
QUEBEC'S, THAT'S SHELVED UNTIL
NEXT YEAR.
ALSO TO DO MORE, TO STOP THE
CLIMATE TEMPERATURE TO 1.5°.
FOR SOME ENVIRONMENTALISTS, IT
MEANS TACKLING THE QUESTIONS OF
FOSSIL FUELS HEAD ON.
>> STARTING A DIFFICULT
SITUATION THAT CANADA NEEDS TO
HAVE ABOUT HOW WE'RE GOING TO
TRANSITION AWAY FROM OUR
DEPENDENCE ON THE OIL AND GAS
INDUSTRY.
[CHANTING]
>> Reporter: DIFFICULT INDEED.
>> I HOPE THEY CAN HEAR US IN
OTTAWA.
>> Reporter: IN GRAND PRAIRIE
TODAY, MORE THAN 1,000 PEOPLE
RALLIED, TO REMIND THE COUNTRY
THAT ALBERTA IS STRUGGLING.
THEY WANT THE PIPELINE THAT
OTTAWA BOUGHT BUILT, A PROJECT
SEEN BY OTHERS AS AN OBSTACLE TO
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT'S CLIMATE
TARGET.
>> THEY'RE SIMPLY NOT CREDIBLE
AS LONG AS THEY OWN AND BUILD
PIPELINES AND EXPAND FOSSIL
FUELS WHEN THE SCIENTISTS HAVE
BEEN VERY CLEAR.
>> Reporter: A DIFFERENCE OF
OPINION UNDERSCORING A TRUTH.
HOWEVER TOUGH INTERNATIONAL
NEGOTIATIONS MAY BE, CANADA'S
HARDEST CLIMATE-CHANGE BATTLES
WILL BE FOUGHT AT HOME.
SALIMAH SHIVJI, CBC NEWS,
OTTAWA.
>> Rosemary: THE SIZE AND SCOPE
OF THE DELEGATION GIVES YOU AN
IDEA OF COP24.
PROVINCES FROM B.C. TO QUEBEC,
LABOUR UNIONS, AND COMPANY
WORKING IN THE HEART OF THE
OILSANDS.
LEADING THE TEAM, OF COURSE, WAS
ENVIRONMENT AND CLIMATE CHANGE
INISTER CATHERINE MCKENNA.
CANADA HAS A LONG WAY TO GO TO
MEET THEIR TARGETS.
I CAUGHT UP WITH HER JUST AFTER
SHE GOT OFF THE PLANE AT THE
OTTAWA AIRPORT.
MINISTER, THANKS FOR TAKING THE
TIME TO SPEAK WITH US.
>> GREAT TO BE HERE.
>> Rosemary: THERE WAS NO TALK
TO SCALE EMISSIONS FURTHER TO
RESPOND TO THE SEEN THE --
SCIENTIFIC DATA THAT NO ONE IS
DOING ENOUGH.
>> THE RULE BOOK IS CRITICALLY
IMPORTANT IF YOU WANT AMBITIOUS
BECAUSE YOU NEED TRUST.
YOU NEED TRUST THAT COUNTRIES
WILL LIVE UP TO WHAT THEY'RE
DOING.
THE PARIS AGREEMENT PROVIDES FOR
INCREASING AMBITION EVERY FIVE
YEARS MANY THAT'S PART OF IT.
THERE WAS A RECOGNITION OF THE
SCIENCE OF CLIMATE CHANGE.
THE 1.5° U.N. REPORT.
IT CAUSED SOME CONTROVERSY AND
CAUSED SOME NEGOTIATIONS AND
HAVE BEEN ON TOUGH GROUND WHEN
THE U.S. AND SAUDI ARABIA AND
OTHER COUNTRIES WEREN'T
RECOGNIZING THE SCIENCE.
WE CERTAINLY DID.
THAT'S WHY WE'RE WORKING ACROSS
THE BOARD WITH PROVINCES,
CITIES, BUSINESS PEOPLE,
INDIGENOUS PEOPLE.
IT IS NOT JUST UP TO THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT.
IT HAS TO BE A TEAM APPROACH
INTERNATIONALLY AND HERE IN
CANADA.
>> Rosemary: IF THE U.N. AND
OTHERS SAY, WE'RE LOOKING AT A
DECADE BEFORE THINGS GET SEVERE.
CAN WE AFFORD TO SIT AND WAIT
BEFORE WE SCALE UP EMISSION
TARGETS AGAIN?
>> I DON'T THINK ANYONE IS
SITTING AROUND AND WAITING.
WE CERTAINLY AREN'T IN CANADA.
WE HAVE OVER 50 DIFFERENT
INITIATIVES THAT WE HAVE AT THE
FEDERAL LEVEL WORKING WITH
PROVINCES, CITIES, BUSINESSES,
PHASING OUT COAL, TO MAKING
HISTORIC INVESTMENTS IN PUBLIC
TRANSPORTATION, SUPPORTING
CLEANER SOLUTIONS AND
INNOVATIONS, BUT THE U.N. REPORT
MADE CLEAR -- WE DON'T HAVE TIME
ON OUR SIDE.
WE NEED TO BE SERIOUS ABOUT
ACTING.
AND THAT'S WHY WE'RE WORKING SO
HARD INTER NATIONALLY AND
WORKING SO HARD HERE IN CANADA.
>> Rosemary: YOU ALLUDED TO THE
DIFFICULTY AROUND THE LANGUAGE
AND THE UNITED STATES WAS PART
OF THAT.
GIVEN THE DIFFICULTY, THE UNITED
STATES, THE CURRENT
ADMINISTRATION SEEMS TO HAVE
WITH DEALING WITH CLIMATE
CHANGE, WHO IS STEPPING UP ON
THE WORLD STAGE THAT IS
SURPRISING OR DIFFERENT TO FILL
THAT VOID?
>> I THINK YOU'VE SEEN A SHIFT.
THE U.S. WAS PLAYING A
CRITICALLY PUBLIC ROLE.
THEY WERE THERE AT THE
NEGOTIATIONS AND THEY WERE BEING
USEFUL BEHIND THE SCENES, BUT
YOU'VE SEEN -- CANADA HAS REALLY
STEPPED UP.
CANADA CREATED AN ALLIANCE WITH
THE E.U. AND ALSO CHINA, BUT
ALSO PLAYING A ROLE WITH
DEVELOPING COUNTRIES.
YOU NEED TO BRIDGE THE GAP
BETWEEN DEVELOPED AND DEVELOPING
COUNTRIES AND ULTIMATELY HAVE
TRUST AND THAT'S AN IMPORTANT
ROLE THAT CANADA CAN PLAY.
PEOPLE RESPECT CANADA.
THEY KNOW WE'RE COMMITTED TO
FINDING SOLUTIONS.
AND IN THE CLIMATE TALKS, THEY
KNOW WE'RE SERIOUS.
WE NEEDED TO SHOW THE MOMENTUM
AROUND THE PARIS AGREEMENT IS
THERE.
THAT WE NOW HAVE THE ROLES OF
THE GAME AND WE NEED TO BE
AMBITIOUS AND ALL NEED TO BE
STEPPING OUT.
>> Rosemary: MINISTER MCKENNA,
I'LL LEAVE IT THERE.
THANK YOU.
>> THANK YOU.
>> Rosemary: NOW TO TORONTO.
THE CBC'S NATALIE NANOWSKI LOOKS
AT HOW THEY'RE DOING IT SO FAR
AND WHO IS CRYING FOUL.
>> SCHOOL BOARDS WERE INFORMED
BY E-MAIL ON FRIDAY, THAT A
SPECIAL FUND WAS BEING CUT BY
$25 MILLION.
IT PROVIDES PROGRAMMES FOR
STUDENTS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS AND
FOR LOW-INCOME FAMILIES.
THERE WAS A PROGRAMME DESIGNED
TO KEEP AT-RISK YOUTH OFF THE
STREET AFTER TORONTO'S SPIKE IN
GUN VIOLENCE.
NOW CANADA'S LARGEST SCHOOL
BOARD IS SCRAMBLING TO ASSESS
THE DAMAGE.
>> I THINK MOST BOARDS HAD THE
SAME REACTION.
IT WAS SURPRISING.
EVERYBODY WANTS DETAILS AND NONE
ARE REALLY AVAILABLE.
>> Reporter: SOME THINK THE
TIMING AND METHOD IS PART OF THE
PLAN.
>> NORMALLY THE GOVERNMENT WILL
MAKE AN ANNOUNCEMENT DURING THE
REGULAR DAY.
IT IS A DECISION THAT THEY OWN.
THIS ONE FEELS SNEAKY.
>> THE FUND IS CLEAR.
THIS CUT COMES ON THE HEELS OF
OTHERS.
CUTS TO MIDWIVES, THE INDIGENOUS
CULTURE FUND AND CUTS TO FRENCH
SERVICES, WHICH SPARKED NUMEROUS
PROTESTS.
DOUG FORD'S GOVERNMENT SAID IT'S
BEEN SETTLED AND TOUGH DECISIONS
ARE NEEDED.
>> IT WAS A DEFICIT.
WE CHOSE THAT, BECAUSE WE
THOUGHT THERE WAS GREATER
INVESTMENT THAT NEEDED TO BE
DONE IN INFRASTRUCTURE.
NOW WE NEED TO KNOW WHAT IS
THEIR VISION.
I THINK WE SEE THAT THE CUTS ARE
GOING TO BE BORN BY SOCIETY.
>> THEY COULD BE DOING IT QUITE
CYNICALLY.
>> Reporter: WE ASKED THE
GOVERNMENT TO CLARIFY HOW MUCH
HAS BEEN CUT OVERALL AND WHERE
THEY PLAN TO TRIM NEXT, BUT WE
HAVEN'T HEARD BACK.
SCHOOL BOARDS HOPE THEY WILL GET
A CLEARER PICTURE ON THEIR CUTS
TOMORROW.
NATALIE NANOWSKI, CBC NEWS,
TORONTO.
>> Rosemary: MIKE CRAWLEY, HOW
SIGNIFICANT IS THIS IN GETTING
RID OF THE $14.5 MILLION
DEFICIT.
>> Reporter: NOT SIGNIFICANT AT
ALL.
YOU ADD UP THE CUTS, YOU TALK
ABOUT SOMETHING LIKE $30
MILLION.
YOU DO THE MATH, YOU WOULD HAVE
TO FIND 500 MORE CUTS LIKE THIS
TO BALANCE THE BUDGET.
THE SALARIES OF PUBLIC SECTOR
WORKERS ACCOUNT FOR THE VAST
MAJORITY OF THE PROVINCIAL
BUDGET.
SO IT'S HARD TO SEE HOW THEY
COULD GET RID OF THE DEFICIT
WITHOUT TACKLING THOSE THINGS.
>> Rosemary: WHERE WOULD THE
FORD GOVERNMENT DO THAT?
>> Reporter: THE IS AING 95
SALARY EXPENSE IS IN THE GREATER
PUBLIC SECTOR
THE GOVERNMENT IS FACING TOUGH
CONTRACT NEGOTIATIONS.
THEY COULDN'T GET A DEAL WITH
WORKERS AT ONTARIO'S NUCLEAR
POWER PLANTS.
SO THEY CALLED BACK MPPs
TOMORROW FOR EMERGENCY
BACK-TO-WORK LEGISLATION.
AND WHEN IT COMES TO EVEN MORE
MILITANT UNIONS LIKE THE
TEACHERS, IT WILL BE EVEN HARDER
TO GET DEALS WITH THEM AND THOSE
CONTRACTS EXPIRE NEXT SUMMER.
>> Rosemary: THAT'S PROBABLY WHY
THEY'RE TACKLING SOME OF THIS
EARLY ON IN THE MANDATE.
ONTARIO'S CREDIT RATING WAS HIT
WITH A DOWNGRADE, TOO.
>> Reporter: IT MEANS THAT THE
PROVINCE HAS TO PAY HIGHER
INTEREST ON THE DEBT IT
ACCUMULATES.
ONTARIO HAS A HUGE DEBT.
THE PROVINCE IS SPENDING MORE ON
INTEREST PAYMENTS THAN ANY
SECONDER OTHER THAN HEALTH AND
EDUCATION.
THAT CREDIT DOWNGRADE, IT WILL
MAKE BALANCING THE BUDGET EVEN
HARDER.
>> Rosemary: MIKE CRAWLEY IN
TORONTO TONIGHT.
THANK YOU.
>> Reporter: YOU'RE WELCOME.
>> Rosemary: THE PROBLEM WITH
DEFICITS, THEY ADD UP.
ONTARIO PROJECTS THE DEBT WILL
SURPLUS $347 MILLION.
THE INTEREST CHARGES, ALSO HIGH
AS MIKE MENTIONED, THIS YEAR
EXCEEDS $12 BILLION.
>> Rosemary: TOMORROW MARKS TWO
MONTHS SINCE RECREATIONAL WEED
BECAME LEGAL IN CANADA.
THAT WAS CLEARLY A BIG DEAL.
SO BIG, NEWS EDITORS HAVE VOTED
IT CANADA'S BUSINESS STORY OF
THE YEAR, EASILY BEATING OUT
THAT NEW NAFTA AGREEMENT.
AS WITH ANY NEW BUSINESS, THERE
ARE GROWING PAINS.
LEGAL STORES HAVE BEEN SLOW TO
OPEN.
THEIR NUMBERS VARY WIDELY.
THAT MEANS THERE ARE PLACES
WHERE THE BLACK MARKET CONTINUES
TO THRIVE.
AS LAURA LYNN SHOWS US,
VANCOUVER IS AMONG MANY CITIES
TRYING TO WEED OUT ILLEGAL
SHOPS.
>> Reporter: DAYS AFTER A COURT
ORDER TO SHUT DOWN, IT'S
BUSINESS AS USUAL AT CANNABIS
CULTURE.
>> FLATTEN IT OUT.
>> Reporter: WHERE JOINTS ARE
BEING ROLLED AND SOLD FOR $5
EACH.
THIS IS ONE OF 28 SHOPS IN
VANCOUVER THAT ARE REFUSING TO
APPLY FOR PROPERLY LICENSING.
THE CHAIN WAS RAIDED LAST YEAR,
ONE OF A DOZEN SHUT DOWN BY
POLICE ONLY TO REOPEN.
NOW, THOUGH, FEARS OF A SEVERE
SHUT DOWN, ONLY TO REOPEN.
>> LEGAL STORES ARE NOT OPENING
UP.
LEGAL SUPPLY LINES ARE BEING
CHOKED OFF.
>> Reporter: THIS POT ACTIVIST
SAYS SHE'S FRUSTRATED BY THE
BUREAUCRACY THAT THREATENS TO
CUT OFF MARIJUANA TO THOSE THAT
WANT IT.
>> AT THIS MOMENT, CANNABIS
CULTURE IS IN NEGOTIATIONS WITH
THE CITY ON FIGURING OUT HOW
MUCH TIME THERE IS TO RESPOND
AND WHAT OUR RESPONSE WILL BE.
>> Reporter: IN THE WAKE OF THE
RULING POT SHOP DISPENSARY
OWNERS HAVE A DECISION TO MAKE
--
CLOSE THE DOORS OR KEEP THE
BUSINESS RULING AND APPEAL THE
RULING.
>> I WOULD SAY THAT LICENSING IS
MONEY.
THE LAW IS FIRMLY ON OUR SIDE.
>> Reporter: THE MAYOR OF
VANCOUVER INSISTS HE UNDERSTANDS
THE ISSUES, BUT KENNEDY STEWART
SAYS THAT THE ILLICIT SHOPS HAVE
TO FACE UP TO REALITY.
>> REALISE THE GIG IS UP.
THERE IS NOWHERE ELSE TO GO.
INSTEAD OF INVESTING THEIR TIME
IN COURT CASES AND OTHER ACTIONS
THAT WILL NOT WORK, GET ON WITH
YOUR BUSINESS.
SHUT DOWN YOUR CURRENT
OPERATION, APPLY FOR THE PROPER
LICENSING AND MOVE AHEAD, INVEST
IN THAT.
>> Reporter: IN THE END, THIS IS
ABOUT BUSINESS, A FLOWERING,
MULTIBILLION DOLLAR BUSINESS, SO
NO SURPRISE THAT THE GOVERNMENT
WANTS TO CONTROL IT AND REAP THE
REVENUE IT GENERATES.
LAURA LYNN, CBC NEWS, VANCOUVER.
>> Rosemary: SO WHILE POT
OPERATIONS ARE TAKING TIME TO
SQUEEZE OUT ILLEGAL POT, IT HAS
NOT STOPPED SOME FROM FRYING TO
NOMINATE THE GLOBAL MARKET.
CATHERINE CULLEN TAKES US TO
EUROPE TO FIND OUT WHY CANADA'S
POT EXPERTISE IS IN SUCH HIGH
DEMAND.
(*)
>> Reporter: WELCOME TO
DENMARK'S POSTCARD-PERFECT
REGION OF ODENSE.
SWATHS OF AGRICULTURAL LAND
OUTSIDE A MAJOR CITY WHERE
THEY GROW TOMATOES, CUCUMBERS,
AND NOW SOMETHING NEW.
>> IT'S ACTUALLY COMING FROM
CANADA.
>> Reporter: A DANISH VEGETABLE
GROWER HAS TEAMED UP WITH A
CANADIAN CANNABIS COMPANY TO
EMBRACE THE CANNABIS MARKET.
>> CANADA AND CANNABIS ARE IN
THE FRONT IN THE WORLD, SO THEY
HAVE A LOT OF KNOWLEDGE.
>> Reporter: THIS IS ONLY THE
BEGINNING.
AURORA NORDIC IS BUILDING A 1
MILLION-SQUARE-FOOT FACILITY
WITH PLANS TO SELL IN NORWAY,
SWEDEN, FINLAND AND ICELAND,
TOO.
THEY WANT TO BE THE LARGEST POT
PRODUCER ON THE CONTINENT.
BUT THERE'S COMPETITION.
>> THE WARM-UP'S OVER, MAN.
NOW WE START PLAYING.
IT'S GREAT.
IT'S JUST A START.
>> Reporter: CANADA'S LARGEST
POT PRODUCER, CANOPY GROWTH, HAS
ITS EYES ON THE GLOBAL MARKET,
TOO.
>> 90% OF MY TIME IS
INTERNATIONAL.
WHERE I'M GOING, EUROPE, SOUTH
AMERICA, LAST WEEK WAS
AUSTRALIA.
THERE ARE 30 PLUS COUNTRIES THAT
WANT TO REGULATE CANNABIS.
>> Reporter: HE'S BUILDING IN
DENMARK AS WELL AS EXPORTING TO
GERMANY'S MEDICAL MARKET.
HE BELIEVES IN THE NEXT FEW
YEARS, MORE AND MORE COUNTRIES
WILL LEGALIZE RECREATIONAL POT
AND TRYING TO POSITION HIS
COMPANY FOR GLOBAL DOMINANCE.
>> IF WE DO IT JUST RIGHT, IT
COULD BE ONE OF THOSE GREAT
CANADIAN COMPANIES THAT DISRUPTS
THE WHOLE WORLD.
>> Reporter: BACK IN DENMARK,
RECREATIONAL POT REMAINS
ILLEGAL.
>> I DON'T THINK IT'S A TOP
ISSUE RIGHT NOW.
>> Reporter: NOT ENOUGH INTEREST
FROM THE PUBLIC AND LITTLE
SUPPORT FROM POLICE MEANS THAT
FEW POLITICIANS ARE INTERESTED
IN THE DEBATE.
>> I DON'T THINK THAT YOU WILL
SEE THAT THERE WILL BE A
MAJORITY TOWARDS LEGALIZING.
(*)
>> Reporter: BUT IT'S NOT TODAY
THAT DANISH AND CANADIAN
BUSINESSES ARE BETTING ON, ONLY
THAT IF CANADA'S EXAMPLE TO THE
WORLD PROVES TO BE A GOOD ONE
OTHERS ARE SURE TO FOLLOW.
CATHERINE CULLEN, CBC NEWS,
OTTAWA.
>> Rosemary: IT IS WORTH NOTING
THAT ONE OF THE BIG CHANGES
WE'VE SEEN HERE IN CANADA SINCE
LEGALIZATION IS JUST HOW MANY
CANADIANS ARE GETTING INVOLVED
IN THE CANNABIS INDUSTRY.
CHECK OUT THE LATEST NUMBERS
FROM STATISTICS CANADA.
THEY SHOW THAT MORE THAN 10,000
PEOPLE HAD CANNABIS-RELATED JOBS
NOVEMBER, NOT SURPRISINGLY, UP
266% FROM THE YEAR BEFORE.
THAT'S A LOT.
THE MAJORITY, 58%, ARE WORKING
IN AGRICULTURE, MEANING THEY'RE
DOING THE GROWING AND PRODUCING
OF THE PRODUCT.
>>> HERE'S SOME OTHER STORIES
WE'RE WATCHING ON THIS NIGHT,
STARTING WITH THE LATEST ON
CANADA'S DIPLOMATIC CONFLICT
WITH CHINA.
CANADIAN OFFICIALS SAY THEY'VE
HAD CONSULAR ACCESS TO MICHAEL
SPAVOR.
HE MET WITH AMBASSADOR MICHAEL
MCCALLUM TODAY.
SPAVOR AND MICHAEL KOVRIG WERE
DETAINED THIS WEEK, SHORTLY
AFTER MENG WANZHOU WAS DETAINED
AT THE REQUEST OF THE UNITED
STATES.
>>> WE'RE KEEPING AN EYE ON
SAPPORO, JAPAN.
INVESTIGATORS ARE LOOKING INTO
WHAT HAPPENED.
>>> ABOUT 1,000 PEOPLE GATHERED
TODAY TO PAY THEIR RESPECTS TO
VICTIMS OF THE STRASBOURG
CHRISTMAS MARKET ATTACK IN A
SQUARE NOT FAR FROM WHERE THE
DEADLY SHOOTING ATTACK TOOK
PLACE BACK ON TUESDAY.
AS IF TO UNDERSCORE THE
SOLEMNNESS OF THE OCCASION,
ANOTHER VICTIM HAS DIED,
A POLISH MAN PASSED AWAY IN
HOSPITAL TODAY BRINGING THE
TOTAL NUMBER OF DEAD TO FIVE.
THE SHOOTER, WHO WAS BORN IN THE
FRENCH CITY, DIED IN A SHOOTOUT
WITH POLICE.
THE INVESTIGATION IN THE ATTACK
CONTINUES.
>>> A VIOLENT DAY IN BRUSSELS,
AS THOUSANDS OF ANTI-IMMIGRANT
PROTESTERS HIT THE STREETS.
POLICE ENGAGED IN RUNNING
BATTLES WITH SOME 5,500
DEMONSTRATORS, ORGANISED BY
RIGHT-WING POLITICAL PARTIES TO
ACCUSE THE U.N. OF UNDERMINING
BELGIUM'S SOVEREIGNTY.
THE LARGEST OF THOSE PULLED
MINISTERS FROM THE COALITION

IMMIGRATION CONCERNS.
>>> STILL AHEAD TONIGHT ON "THE
NATIONAL," A NEW TWIST IN THE
DEATH OF THAT LITTLE GUATEMALAN
GIRL IN THE U.S. BORDER CONTROL
CUSTODY.
WHY HER FATHER IS CALLING FOR AN
INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATION.
>>> THE UNDERWATER DANGER TO
WHALES IN THE WATERS OFF BRITISH
COLUMBIA.
WE'LL TAKE YOU BELOW THE OCEAN
SURFACE.
>>> AND THE NATIONAL INTERVIEW
WITH MARK TEWKSBURY.
20 YEARS AFTER COMING OUT, HE
SITS DOWN WITH ADRIENNE TO TALK
ABOUT WHY IT WAS SO IMPORTANT.
>> AND SO THAT WAS -- THAT WAS
THE MOMENT WHERE -- THAT FINAL
TIPPING POINT WHEN I REALISED,
I'M OBVIOUSLY NOT GETTING
ENOUGH.
THIS IS CRAZY THAT I'M DOING
THIS DANCE AND LOSING WORK.
I MAY AS WELL BE HONEST HERE.
>> Rosemary: THE DEATH OF THIS
LITTLE GIRL FROM GUATEMALA
CONTINUES TO BREAK HEARTS
TONIGHT.
7-YEAR-OLD JAKELIN CAAL DIED IN
THE CUSTODY OF U.S. BORDER
PATROL.
TONIGHT HER FAMILY IS DISPUTING
THE OFFICIAL ACCOUNT OF WHAT
HAPPENED.
ELLEN MAURO ON THE QUEST FOR A
BETTER LIFE THAT'S BECOME A
SEARCH FOR ANSWERS.
>> Reporter: JAKELIN CAAL'S
MOTHER AND HER SURVIVING
CHILDREN.
HER YOUNG SONS' CLOTHES SHOW THE
PICTURE OF POVERTY THAT THEY
WERE TRYING TO ESCAPE.
>> Interpretor: I DON'T FEEL
VERY WELL.
>> Reporter: AND JAKELIN'S
FATHER DIDN'T FEEL VERY WELL
BECAUSE SHE DIED IN FRONT OF
HIM.
HER FATHER DECEMBER PROSECUTES
CLAIMS THAT SHE DIDN'T HAVE FOOD
OR WATER IN THE DAYS BEFORE SHE
DIED.
>> JAKELIN'S FATHER TOOK CARE OF
JAKELIN AND MADE SURE SHE WAS
FED AND HAD WATER.
SHE AND HER FATHER SOUGHT ASYLUM
AS SOON AS THEY CROSSED THE
BORDER.
THERE IS ANGER THAT HE WAS
INTERVIEWED IN SPANISH AND ASKED
TO SIGN A FORM ABOUT HIS
DAUGHTER'S HEALTH IN ENGLISH
WHEN THE NATIVE LANGUAGE IS
MAYANDIALECT.
>> WE'RE ASKING THAT THE
INVESTIGATORS WILL ASSESS THE
INCIDENT WITH A NATIONALLY
RECOGNIZED STANDARD FOR THE
ARREST AND CUSTODY OF CHILDREN.
>> Reporter: THE GUATEMALAN
CONSUL WHO SPOKE TO CAAL SAID
THAT JAKELIN'S FATHER DOES NOT
BLAME U.S. OFFICIALS AND IS
GRATEFUL FOR THEIR EFFORTS TO
TRY TO SAVE HER LIFE.
THAT HAS NOT STOPPED PROTESTS.
ACTIVISTS ARE TYING THE DEATH TO
THE ZERO-TOLERANCE ILLEGAL
IMMIGRATION POLICIES OF THE
TRUMP ADMINISTRATION.
>> Interpretor: THAT IS WHY THE
MIGRANTS RESORT TO EXTREME
MEASURES, THIS WOMAN SAID.
THIS GIRL LOST HER LIFE DUE TO
THE ANTI-MIGRANT AGGRESSION OF
THIS ADMINISTRATION.
>> Reporter: BUT THE POLITICS
SURROUNDING JAKELIN'S DEATH
MATTER LITTLE TO THIS FAMILY,
DISTRAUGHT AND FAR AWAY.
A YOUNG MOTHER WHO WILL NEVER
SEE HER YOUNG DAUGHTER ALIVE
AGAIN.
ELLEN MAURO, CBC NEWS,
WASHINGTON.
>> Rosemary: UP NEXT ON "THE
NATIONAL," ADRIENNE SITS DOWN
WITH MARK TEWKSBURY.
THE CANADIAN OLYMPIAN OPENS UP
ABOUT HIS DECISION TO COME OUT
20 YEARS AGO AND WHAT IT WAS
LIKE TO SPEAK OUT AGAINST THE
INTERNATIONAL OLYMPIC COMMITTEE.
>> I'VE NEVER IN MY LIFE RUN UP
AGAINST SUCH IMMOVABLE POWER.
THE FORCE OF IT.
WHEN THAT POWER TURNS ON YOU,
IT'S TERRIFYING.
>> AND HERE COMES MARK
TEWKSBURY.
FOR THE FINAL 5 METRES.
AT THE WALL.
HE'S DONE IT.
OLYMPIC RECORD.
>> Adrienne: IT WAS 20 YEARS AGO
THIS WEEKEND THAT MARK TEWKSBURY
SAID THE WORDS OUT LOUD.
THE OLYMPIC GOLD MEDALIST TOLD
THE WORLD HE WAS GAY.
>> IT WAS MY TIME.
>> Adrienne: HARD TO OVERSTATE
WHAT A BIG DEAL IT WAS THEN,
FRONT PAGE NEWS, AND NOT JUST IN
CANADA.
>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH
>> Adrienne: FOR ALL THE OLYMPIC
GLORY, IT WASN'T EASY BEING MARK
TEWKSBURY IN THE '90s.
HE LOST A SIX-FIGURE CONTRACT
BECAUSE HE WAS DEEMED TOO GAY.
BUT THEN CAME HIS PLACE AS A
ROLE MODEL, A LEADER WHO ALL
THESE YEARS LATER, IS STILL
STANDING UP FOR HUMAN RIGHTS AND
INTEGRITY IN SPORTS.
AND, YES, HE'S BACK IN THE POOL.
HE'S 50 NOW.
THIS IS A PHOTO SHOOT FOR HIS
ONE-MAN SHOW THIS WEEKEND.
REFLECTIONS ON PRIDE AND PURPOSE
AND WHETHER TIME GUARANTEES
PROGRESS.
THE SHOW IS AT BUDDIES IN BAD
TIMES THEATRE IN TORONTO, WHICH
IS WHERE HE FIRST CAME OUT.
SO THAT'S WHERE WE SAT TO TALK.
WE'RE HERE, OBVIOUSLY, THIS IS
WHERE YOUR ONE-MAN SHOW IS, BUT
THIS IS WHERE 20 YEARS AGO YOU
SAID THOSE WORDS OUT LOUD FOR
THE VERY FIRST TIME.
>> PUBLICLY, IT'S TRUE.
>> Adrienne: DO YOU REMEMBER HOW
YOU PHRASED IT?
>> I DID IT THROUGH THE STORY OF
SAYING, YOU'RE TOO GAY.
I DECIDED, MAYBE I'M NOT GAY
ENOUGH.
IT WAS LIKE, HEAR ME ROAR.
>> Adrienne: WHY DID YOU HAVE TO
SAY IT OUT LOUD?
WHAT WAS HAPPENING INSIDE YOU
THAT YOU SAID, IT'S TIME.
I NEED TO DO THIS?
>> I TIPTOED AROUND THE ISSUE.
I HAD A BOYFRIEND.
I WAS AT EVENTS IN THE GAY
COMMUNITY.
I'M CONSTANTLY, WHERE AM I?
WHO AM I TELLING?
WHO AM I IN THIS SITUATION?
I LOST A BIG CONTRACT.
SOMEBODY SAID EXPLICITALLY, A
CLOSETED GAY GUY AT A
CORPORATION THAT SAW ME AND
WHATEVER I DID, COMING DOWN THE
AISLE.
AND I HAD DYED MY HAIR BLONDE
AND HE CANCELLED THE TOUR.
AND SOMETIMES THAT HAPPENS.
SOMETIMES PEOPLE WITHIN YOUR OWN
COMMUNITY THAT ARE STILL NOT
THERE AND THEY FEEL LIKE YOU
WILL BETRAY THEM IF THEY HIRE
YOU.
>> Adrienne: WAS IT A SPEAKING
TOUR?
>> YEAH.
IT WAS NOVEMBER, 1998.
HE SAID THE WORDS THAT I WAS TOO
GAY.
I WASN'T OUT YET.
>> SO THAT WAS THE MOMENT -- YOU
KNOW, THAT FINAL TIPPING POINT
WHERE I JUST REALISED, I'M
OBVIOUSLY NOT GAY ENOUGH.
IT'S CRAZY THAT I'M DOING THIS
DANCE AND LOSING WORK.
I MAY AS WELL BE HONEST HERE.
>> Adrienne: IS THERE SOMETHING
ABOUT COMING OUT THEN THAT
SURPRISED YOU?
WERE THE REACTIONS THAT TOOK YOU
ABACK?
>> I REMEMBER GETTING WORK WITH
AN INVESTMENT BANKING COMPANY
AND HAVING TO FLY IN FROM
MONTREAL TO TORONTO TO DO AN
INTERVIEW AND I KNOW IT WAS FOR
THEM TO TEST IF I WAS TOO GAY OR
NOT.
>> Adrienne: IF YOU CAME ACROSS
LOOKING GAY OR ACTING GAY?
>> OR SOUNDING.
ALL OF THAT.
THAT STILL EXISTED.
AND I COULDN'T -- I DECIDED TO
GO WITH IT.
IT MADE ME ANGRY.
I WOULD USE OTHER LANGUAGE IF WE
WEREN'T ON "THE NATIONAL."
BUT I DECIDED, OKAY, I CAN
EITHER JUST SAY, THAT'S IT, I'M
NOT DOING IT, OR SAY, OKAY, I
WILL SHOW YOU.
I WILL DOUBLE DOWN AND I WILL BE
TWICE AS GOOD AS ANYBODY YOU
HAVE EVER SEEN.
BUT TO HAVE TO GO THROUGH THAT,
IT WAS ALMOST HUMILIATING.
>> Adrienne: BECAUSE YOU WERE
ACTING.
>> AND HAVING TO AUDITION
BECAUSE MY RESUME IS THE REASON
THEY WANTED ME TO SPEAK.
NOT BECAUSE I WAS GAY OR NOT.
>> Adrienne: TELL ME ABOUT THE
COUPLE WHO RECOGNIZED YOU AS THE
GOLD MEDALIST AND WERE SO
EXCITED TO MEET YOU.
AND THEN WHAT HAPPENED?
>> IT WAS AT A REALLY GOOD
FRIEND'S WEDDING.
I WAS WITH MY PARTNER AT THE
TIME AND THEY WERE -- EXACTLY.
THEY'RE LIKE, MARK TEWKSBURY,
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
I SAID, LET ME INTRODUCE YOU TO
MY PARTNER, BENJAMIN, AND IT
WENT, CHILL, ICE, DONE, IGNORED,
BACK TURNED.
IT WAS -- WOW.
WOW.
AND, AGAIN, WHEN THOSE THINGS
HAPPEN, THANKFULLY IN MY WORLD
THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN ALL THE
TIME, BUT WHEN IT DOES -- IT'S
LIKE FAG IN THE LOCKER IN GRADE
8.
IT WAS SHAME AND HURT OVER THIS
ISSUE.
>> Adrienne: WE'RE TALKING ABOUT
THIS LIKE IT WAS YESTERDAY, BUT
IT'S 20 YEARS LATER, RIGHT?
>> COMING UP ON 35 YEARS AGO
WITH THE LOCKER.
>> Adrienne: IS PROGRESS WHERE
YOU THOUGHT IT WOULD BE?
>> FOR MYSELF, MY LIFE HAS
TRANSFORMED 100% IN THE LAST 20
YEARS, FROM BEING BRAVE ENOUGH
TO TAKE THAT STEP AND TALK ABOUT
THE TOPIC WHEN NOBODY WANTED TO
TALK ABOUT IT AND ENDURING YEARS
AND YEARS OF PEOPLE SAYING, ARE
WE STILL HAVING TO TALK ABOUT
THIS?
I'M AS BORED AS EVERYBODY ELSE
IS HAVING TO TALK ABOUT THIS,
BUT IT'S STILL AN ISSUE.
WHEN A MAJOR NHL PLAYER COMES
OUT, IT WILL BE FRONT PAGE OF
THE NEWSPAPERS.
AND MAYBE THEN PEOPLE WILL GO,
MALE, SPORT, GAY.
IT'S DONE.
IT'S NOT THERE YET.
>> Adrienne: YOU THINK ABOUT
HOCKEY AND I WOULD HAVE EXPECTED
THAT HOCKEY PLAYERS WOULD HAVE
COME OUT AT THIS POINT.
DID YOU THINK THAT YOU WOULD
HEAR FROM NHL PLAYERS AS FAR
BACK AS '98?
>> THERE IS AN INCREDIBLE
COMMUNITY THAT'S IN HOCKEY.
UNLESS YOU'RE IN HOCKEY, I THINK
IT'S FOREIGN TO ALL OF US.
I'VE BEEN INVITED ON THE
PERIPHERAL ON THAT CULTURE
TWICE, WHERE THEY WERE READY TO
HAVE AN ANNOUNCEMENT OF AN NHL
PLAYER THAT WAS READY TO COME
OUT AND WOULD I BE ON STAND-BY
TO GO SOMEWHERE FOR THE PRESS
CONFERENCE?
THIS WAS OVER 10 YEARS AGO.
BOTH TIMES IT GOT CANCELLED.
SO IT DOES EXIST.
I'M 100% SURE OF THAT.
MIGHT NOT HAVE BEEN A BIG STAR.
THE REASON I CAME OUT, THERE WAS
SO MUCH GOODWILL BUILT AROUND MY
REPUTATION.
AND WHO I WAS.
YOU CAN LEVERAGE THAT AND REALLY
CHALLENGE PEOPLE THAT MIGHT BE
CLOSED-MINDED AND SAY, SURPRISE,
AND THEY WILL HAVE TO THINK
DIFFERENTLY ABOUT THIS ISSUE.
A MAJOR, MAJOR PROFESSIONAL
BASKETBALL PLAYER, BASEBALL
PLAYER, WILL DO THAT, BUT IT
HASN'T HAPPENED YET.
THERE DOESN'T NEED TO BE THAT
MANY.
THERE JUST NEEDS TO BE ONE.
IT COULD BE A GAME-CHANGER.
>> Adrienne: LET'S TALK ABOUT
THE OLYMPICS.
WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT GAY
ATHLETES, I IMMEDIATELY THINK OF
SOCHI.
AND HOW HARD THAT WAS.
HOW FRIGHTENED --
I SPOKE WITH A LOT OF YOUNG
ATHLETES THAT WERE TERRIFIED OF
SOMEHOW BEING OUTED, BEING IN A
SITUATION WHERE THEIR LIBERTY
WAS AT RISK.
>> IT WAS SHAMEFUL TO TARGET THE
LGBTQ COMMUNITY.
THAT'S WHEN THE PROTESTS WERE
HAPPENING.
IT MOBILIZED PEOPLE.
AFTER IT WAS A REAL TIPPING
POINT FOR THE LGBTQ COMMUNITY
DECLARING THEIR SEXUALITY, SO
THAT'S PROGRESS.
>> Adrienne: WERE YOU EVER IN A
POSITION TO PUSH THE I.O.C. FOR
MORE AND THEN GOT DOORS SLAMMED
IN YOUR FACE?
>> I WAS THE FIRST INSTIGATOR
AND PUSHER BACK IN '99.
>> SORRY IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH.
YOU HAVE LED IT TO ITS LOWEST
POINT IN OLYMPIC HISTORY.
SCREAMING ABOUT THE ETHICS OF
HOW OLYMPIC CITIES WERE CHOSEN.
I'VE NEVER IN MY LIFE RUN UP
AGAINST SUCH IMMOVABLE POWER,
JUST BY THE FORCE OF IT.
WHEN THAT POWER TURNS ON YOU,
IT'S TERRIFYING.
>> Adrienne: WELL, HAS THE
I.O.C. CHANGED AN IOTA?
>> I STILL WOULDN'T SERVE ON IT.
>> Adrienne: YOU WOULDN'T?
>> NO.
I'M REALLY PROUD TO REPRESENT
CANADA ON THE OLYMPIC COMMITTEE,
BUT UNTIL YOU'RE ACCOUNTABLE TO
SOMEBODY, HOW CAN YOU BE AN
INSTITUTION THAT HAS INTEGRITY
AND ACCOUNTABILITY AND
VALUE-BASED AND ANY OF IT AND
STILL AT THE END OF THE DAY,
CLOSED.
>> Adrienne: DO YOU SEE A FUTURE
FOR THE I.O.C.?
WE LOOK AT WHAT HAS HAPPENED
WITH CALGARY SAYING, NO, THANKS.
WE'RE GOING TO TAKE A PASS ON
THE OLYMPICS.
>> IT'S DEVASTATING.
AND WHAT A SHOCK THAT A CITY
LIKE CALGARY DOESN'T WANT THE
OLYMPICS.
THE SPORT ATTRACTS PEOPLE THAT
ARE POWER-HUNGRY.
AND BECAUSE GOVERNANCE IS SO
DIFFICULT TO NAVIGATE, IT'S HARD
TO MAKE CHANGE.
IT HAS TO.
IT WILL.
I DON'T KNOW HOW YET.
WILL IT BE PRESSURE FROM THE
OUTSIDE?
WILL IT BE THE CORPORATE WORLD
THAT SAYS, NO.
WILL IT BE NO CITIES WANT TO
HOST THE GAMES?
>> Adrienne: THAT'S A ROAD
THEY'RE HEADING DOWN NOW.
>> THAT'S NOT SO FAR AWAY, AS IT
APPEARS.
PART OF THE PROBLEM WITH
CALGARY, NO ONE HAS A VISION.
IF YOU ARE SELLING THE PROJECT
ON THE COST AND BRICKS AND
MORTAR, IT WILL NEVER FLY?
>> Adrienne: DID THE MAYOR SCREW
IT UP?
>> I PUT FULL RESPONSIBILITY ON
CITY COUNCIL.
AND I KNOW IT WILL OUTRAGE
PEOPLE AND YOU ARE NOT
THOUGHTFUL.
I DON'T SEE HOW WE COULD NOT
TAKE THIS OLYMPICS AND REALLY
TURN IT INTO SOMETHING
BENEFICIAL FOR THE CITY.
>> Adrienne: WHAT IF THERE IS NO
BID CITY?
HOW DOES IT ACTUALLY WORK THEN?
>> I MEAN, LISTEN, I'M NOT THE
PRESIDENT OF THE I.O.C., BUT I
WOULD TAKE A 100-YEAR APPROACH
AND LOOK AT EACH 20 YEARS, FOR
THE FIVE REGIONS OF THE WORLD
AND IN EACH OF THOSE,
STRATEGICALLY DECIDING WHO WILL
BE YOUR PERMANENT WINTER AND
SUMMER HOSTS AND BUILD IT AROUND
THE WORLD, SO THE FACILITIES
ROTATE, BUT USE IT THREE OR FOUR
TIMES SO THE FACILITIES ARE USED
AND WE DON'T INCUR THIS CRAZY
SCENARIO EVERY TIME WE WANT TO
HAVE AN OLYMPICS.
JUST A THOUGHT.
>> Adrienne: MAYBE THE PHONE
WILL RING.
[LAUGHTER]
>> I HOPE NOT.
>> Adrienne: OKAY.
>> THANKS, ADRIENNE.
>> Rosemary: PROVOCATIVE IDEAS.
AS YOU HEARD ADRIENNE AND MARK
DISCUSSING THERE, THE 2026
WINTER OLYMPICS ARE STRUGGLING.
MOST OF THE BIDDING CITIES HEAVY
WALKED AWAY CITING THE HIGH
COSTS AND LOGISTICAL PROBLEMS,
INCLUDING CALGARY, WHICH STILL
HAS MUCH OF ITS OLYMPIC
INFRASTRUCTURE FROM 1988.
WHERE DO THINGS STAND NOW?
THE ELECTION TO DECIDE THE
WINNER WILL BE HELD THIS COMING
JUNE IN SWITZERLAND.
ONE MIGHT ARGUE THEY COULD FLIP
A COIN.
OF THE SEVEN CANDIDATES IN THE
RUNNING A YEAR AGO, ONLY TWO
REMAIN, STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN, AND
MILAN-CORTINA, ITALY.
EVEN THEY'RE SHAKY.
MANY STOCKHOLMERS ARE
INDIFFERENT AND SOME CITY
COUNCILLORS ARE OPPOSED.
AND ITALY'S NATIONAL GOVERNMENT
HAS REFUSED TO THROW ANY MONEY
INTO THE OLYMPIC POT.
OKAY.
I GUESS IT WILL STILL HAPPEN.
WE'LL SEE.
>>> UP NEXT ON "THE NATIONAL,"
WE'LL TAKE YOU BENEATH THE OCEAN
SURFACE.
YOU CAN HEAR WHAT IS THREATENING
AN ENDANGERED SPECIES OF WHALES.
>> IT'S EYE OPENING.
IT IS NOT AN EASY LIFE, I WOULD
SAY, THESE DAYS, FOR A WHALE.
THIS IS A RECORDING THAT WE MADE
OF KILLER WHALES WITH THE SHIPS
GOING BY IN THE BACKGROUND.
>> Rosemary: FIRST, THOUGH, A
PREVIEW OF A STORY YOU WILL SEE
TOMORROW NIGHT ON "THE
NATIONAL," A RARE AND INTIMATE
LOOK AT THE FRONTLINES OF
CANADA'S OPIOID CRISIS.
WE'LL TAKE YOU INSIDE A
SUPERVISED INJECTION SITE IN
TORONTO FACING AN UNCERTAIN
FUTURE.
CHECK IT OUT.

>> WHEN I WAS A LITTLE KID, I
USED TO LIKE TO DRAW.
I CAN'T DO IT JUSTICE.
ONCE I FOUND HARM REDUCTION, I
STARTED DRAWING AGAIN.
I'VE LOST 11 FRIENDS THIS YEAR.
MOST PEOPLE DON'T LOSE THAT MANY
IN A LIFETIME.
I DON'T WANT TO LOSE MORE
FRIENDS.
(*)
>> THESE SITES ARE EVERYTHING.
THESE SITES GIVES US THE CHANCE
TO SAVE THESE PEOPLE.
>> Rosemary: HERE'S A LOOK AT
THE OTHER STORIES WE'RE WATCHING
THIS WEEK.
THE TRUCK DRIVER IN THE DEADLY
HUMBOLDT BUS CRASH IS SET TO
MAKE ANOTHER COURT APPEARANCE ON
TUESDAY.
JASKIRAT SINGH SIDHU HAS BEEN
CHARGED WITH 16 COUNTS OF
DANGEROUS DRIVING CAUSING DEATH
AND 13 COUNTS OF DANGEROUS
DRIVING CAUSING HARM.
HE HAS NOT YET ENTERED A PLEA.
>>> SIX BOYS AT THE CENTRE OF
THE SEX SCANDAL AT SAINT
MICHAEL'S SCHOOL ARE SET TO
RETURN TO COURT.
TH
CANADIANS WERE SHOCKED LAST
MONTH WHEN NEWS BROKE OF THE
VIOLENT AND DEMEANING HAZING
RITUALS.
POLICE ANNOUNCED A FEW DAYS AGO,
THEY'RE INVESTIGATING TWO MORE
CASES NOW.
>>> AND SPACEX WILL CAP OFF ITS
RECORD-SETTING YEAR WITH ANOTHER
HISTORIC LAUNCH THIS WEEK.
FOR THE FIRST TIME, IT WILL HAVE
IMPLICATIONS FOR U.S. NATIONAL
SECURITY.
THE COMPANY WILL LAUNCH A NEW
GENERATION OF SATELLITES TO
MODERNIZE THE GLOBAL POSITIONING
SYSTEM USING A NEW FALCON 9
ROCKET.
LIFTOFF IS SCHEDULED FOR THIS
TUESDAY AT 9:11 A.M. FROM CAPE
CANAVERAL IN FLORIDA.
VERY PRECISE THERE, AREN'T THEY?
>>> THINGS CAN BE VERY NOISY
UNDER WATER.
IT'S POSING A THREAT TO WHALES
OFF THE B.C. COAST.
RESEARCHERS ARE WORKING TO
MEASURE THAT THREAT AND REDUCE
IT.
THE CBC'S BRIAR STEWART WENT TO
THE GULF COAST ISLANDS TO SEE
WHERE THINGS STAND.
>> FROM THIS POINT ON SATURNA
ISLAND, YOU CAN LOOK OUT TO THE
WEST COAST OF THE U.S. AND
CANADA AND IF IT'S THE RIGHT
TIME OF YEAR AND YOU'RE REALLY
LUCKY, THIS COULD BE YOUR VIEW.
>> WOO!
[APPLAUSE]
>> THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST
PLACES IN CANADA REALLY TO BE
ABLE TO WATCH THE WHALES FROM
THE SHORE.
THIS IS WHY THEY CALL IT THE
WHALE TRAIL.
>> Reporter: SATURNA ISLAND IS A
SERENE SPOT, BUT DON'T LET IT
DECEIVE YOU.
>> WHAT IS HAPPENING UNDER WATER
IS SO VERY DIFFERENT THAN WHAT
WE SEE RIGHT HERE, SO PEACEFUL
AND QUIET.
WHEN A SHIP IS GOING BY, IT'S
NOT PEACEFUL AND QUIET.
>> Reporter: THE NOISE EMANATING
FROM THE SHIPS AND BOATS SOUNDS
MUCH DIFFERENT TO THOSE THAT
CALL THESE WATERS HOME.
THIS IS CRITICAL HABITAT FOR THE
ENDANGERED SOUTHERN RESIDENT
KILLER WHALES.
THEY'RE THREATENED IN PART
BECAUSE OF A LACK OF CHINOOK
SALMON, THEIR PRIMARY FOOD.
AND ALSO BECAUSE THE SOUND OF
MARINE TRAFFIC IMPACTS THEIR
ABILITY TO HUNT FOR IT.
TO BETTER UNDERSTAND WHAT KIND
OF EFFECT SHIPPING NOISE IS
HAVING ON THEM, THERE'S A LOT OF
RESEARCH UNDERWAY TO LISTEN IN
UNDER WATER.
>> LET ME TELL YOU, THIS WAS NOT
AN EASY PLACE.
>> NO.
IT WAS CHALLENGING TO GET THAT.
>> Reporter: LARRY BECK AND
ROBERT BRUCE ARE PART OF THIS
MARINE RESEARCH AND EDUCATION
SOCIETY, A CITIZEN-LED GROUP
THAT'S INSTALLED TWO HYDROPHONES
OFF THE COAST OF THE ISLAND.
WHEN THEY HEARD THEIR FIRST
RECORDINGS A FEW YEARS BACK, IT
WAS EXCITING BUT SHOCKING.
>> YOU COULD SEE THAT THE
RESIDENTS WERE TRYING TO FORAGE
AMONGST A DIN OF NOISE.
IT WAS EYE-OPENING.
TO BE A WHALE, IT ISN'T AN EASY
LIFE, I WOULD SAY, THESE DAYS.
>> THIS IS A RECORDING WE MADE
OF KILLER WHALES WITH THE SHIP
GOING BY IN THE BACKGROUND.
>> Reporter: JASON WOOD HAS BEEN
MONITORING AND ANALYZING THE
ORCAS AND THE SHIP NOISE OFF THE
COAST OF WASHINGTON STATE.
HE'S A SCIENTIST AND A DIVER, SO
HE CAN REPAIR AND MAINTAIN THE
EQUIPMENT HIMSELF.
HE SAID THE NOISE CAN IMPACT THE
WHALE'S BEHAVIOUR AND THE WAY
THEY COMMUNICATE.
>> IT'S USED FOR NAVIGATION, FOR
FINDING PREY.
IF YOU HIDE IT ACOUSTICALLY, IT
MAKES IT HARDER FOR ANIMALS TO
FIND THEIR WAY AND FIND FOOD TO
EAT.
>> Reporter: HIS RESEARCH FOUND
THAT THE WHALES LOSE 4 TO 5
HOURS OF FORAGING TIME EACH DAY
DUE TO NOISE FROM SHIPS AND
WHALE WATCHING BOATS.
NEW RULES CAME OUT OVER THE
SUMMER TO REQUIRE WHALE WATCHERS
TO STAY 200 METRES BACK.
AND COMMERCIAL VESSELS ARE BEING
URGED TO SLOW DOWN.
THIS WOULD BE CARRYING SOMETHING
LIKE GRAIN.
>> Reporter: PORTER ROBINSON IS
THE MANAGER OF THE ECO PROGRAMME
AT PORT OF VANCOUVER.
FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS, THE PORT
HAS RUN A PILOT PROJECT.
BETWEEN JULY TO OCTOBER, SHIPS
WERE ASKED TO SLOW DOWN WHEN
THEY WENT THROUGH THE HARO
STRAIT, A STRETCH OF WATER THE
WHALES FREQUENT.
UNDERWATER RECORDING EQUIPMENT
WAS INSTALLED ON THE OCEAN FLOOR
TO MEASURE THE NOISE.
FOR A VESSEL LIKE THAT, HOW MUCH
WAS IT BEING ASKED TO SLOW DOWN?
>> THIS VESSEL WOULD BE GOING 13
1/2 KNOTS ON AVERAGE.
AND WE WERE ASKING THEM TO SLOW
DOWN THIS YEAR TO 12 1/2 KNOTS.
>> Reporter: IT WOULD ADD 15 TO
20 MINUTES TO THE TRIP BUT
REDUCE NOISE 2.5 DECIBELS.
IT WAS VOLUNTARY, BUT 88% OF THE
SHIPS THAT CAME THROUGH IN 2018
COMPLIED.
THERE SHOULD BE GREATER EMPHASIS
ON DESIGNING SHIPS TO BE
QUIETER, SHE SAID, BECAUSE WITH
OR WITHOUT THE TRANSMOUNTAIN
PIPELINE EXPANSION, TRAFFIC WILL
INETCH -- INEVITABLY INCREASE.
>> THE POPULATION ALONE OF THIS
REGION IS PREDICTED TO GROW BY
2040.
WITH THAT POPULATION GROWTH
COMES MORE DEMAND FOR TRADE AND
MORE DEMAND FOR TRANSPORTATION.
>> THE ORCA ARE MOVING ALONG AND
THE NOISE IS FOLLOWING THEM.
>> BACK ON SATURNA, LARRY PECK
SAID THAT'S THE STRUGGLE.
HE AND HIS GROUP WANT TO INSTALL
MORE LISTENING EQUIPMENT AND SAY
MUCH MORE NEEDS TO BE DONE.
>> WE HAVE THE ECONOMIC
IMPERATIVES CONFLICTING WITH THE
IMPERATIVES OF NATURE OF OUR
MARINE ECOSYSTEM.
>> Reporter: THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT SAYS IT PLANS TO PUT
MORE MONITORING IN PLACE BY THE
TIME THE WHALES RETURN HERE NEXT
YEAR, BUT PECK SAYS THAT THE
SITUATION IS DIRE.
>> I'M NOT SURE THAT THERE'S A
REALLY GOOD UNDERSTANDING IN
OTTAWA OF WHAT THE IMPLICATIONS
ARE HERE.
THE ECONOMY CERTAINLY IS
SOMETHING THAT'S IMPORTANT.
BUT WE HAVE TO TAKE A LOOK AT
THE FACT THAT A MARINE ECOSYSTEM
ARE LONG-TERM.
>> Reporter: AND RIGHT NOW WITH
JUST 74 SOUTHERN RESIDENT ORCAS
LEFT, HE BELIEVES EVEN MORE
NEEDS TO BE DONE TO TRY TO MAKE
THEIR LIFE EASIER AND THE
ENVIRONMENT UNDER WATER QUIETER.
BRIAR STEWART, CBC NEWS,
VANCOUVER.
>> Rosemary: MAN, LETS ALL MOVE
TO VANCOUVER.
JUST BEAUTIFUL.
UP NEXT ON "THE NATIONAL," OUR
"MOMENT OF THE DAY" IS THE
MOMENT THE CAT CAME BACK.
>> I WAS LIKE, WHAT?
I TOLD MY MUM, WHY DID YOU MAIL
MY CAT?
>> Reporter: WHAT DID SHE
ANSWER?
>> SHE SAID, I DIDN'T KNOW HE
WAS IN THE BOX.
>> Rosemary: SO LAST WEEK WHEN
JACKIE LAKE'S CAT WENT MISSING
SHE AND HER KIDS SPENT A WEEKEND
FRANTICALLY SEARCHING FOR HIM,
PUTTING UP MISSING POSTERS ALL
OVER THEIR NEIGHBOURHOOD IN
DARTMOUTH, NOVA SCOTIA.
THEY DID GET A PHONE CALL, BUT
NOT FROM A NEIGHBOUR.
SHE WAS AT A SHIPPING FACILITY
IN MONTREAL, 1,000 KILOMETRES
AWAY.
TURNS OUT, JACKIE HAD
ACCIDENTALLY PACKED HIM INTO A
BOX OF CAR RIMS SHE WAS
SHIPPING.
THIS WEEKEND, THANKS TO THE
VOLUNTEERS AT FREEDOM DRIVERS, A
GROUP THAT TRANSPORTS SHELTER
ANIMALS, THE CAT CAME BACK.
THAT'S IS OUR "MOMENT" TONIGHT.
>> I TOLD MY MOM, WHY DID YOU
MAIL MY CAT?
>> Reporter: WHAT DID SHE
ANSWER?
>> SHE SAID, I DIDN'T KNOW HE
WAS IN THE BOX.
SHE WAS WONDERING WHY THE BOX
WEIGHED 10 EXTRA POUNDS.
>> Reporter: ARE YOU EXCITED?
>> YES, I'M VERY EXCITED.
I WANTED TO COME IN THE HOUSE.
I LOVE HIM.
>> Reporter: SO THE CAR JUST
ARRIVED.
HOW DID IT FEEL?
>> VERY ANXIOUS.
I WANT TO SEE HIM AND MAKE SURE
HE'S OKAY.
>> HE MADE IT HOME.
>> HI, BABY.
>> DROVE ALL THE WAY FROM
MONTREAL.
>> Reporter: ALL VOLUNTEERS?
>> YES, RELAY STYLE.
TO SEE WHERE HE CAME FROM, HE
WOULD HAVE QUITE A STORY.
>> HIS BROTHER IS HOME.
HE MISSED HIM.
HE SAT BY THE DOOR FOR A WHOLE
DAY.
>> Rosemary: HE LOOKS UNPHASED,
DOESN'T HE?
ANYWAY, FRED PENNER WAS ON TO
SOMETHING.
SOMEONE SEND HIM THAT TAPE.
THE CAT DOES COME BACK, SOMEHOW
OR OTHER.
OF COURSE THAT COULD HAPPEN.
CATS LOVE BOXES.
THAT'S "THE NATIONAL" FOR
DECEMBER 16.
ON THAT NOTE, HAVE A GOOD NIGHT.
