“In the 10-minute address, Carney spoke about his government’s efforts to strengthen the Canadian economy by attracting new investments and signing trade deals with other countries.”
SINGLE SOURCE
The evidence provided for this claim is heavily focused on the context of Carney's premiership and the general theme of his address (as seen in the web search results). However, none of the provided evidence explicitly details that the 10-minute address covered 'attracting new investments and signing international trade deals' specifically. The evidence is insufficient to corroborate the specific content mentioned in the claim, though the context suggests it was a policy address.
