“Canada, very much at the forefront, will take child safety seriously and feel that laissez-faire is not the answer to child safety. And so we will take steps. Not everyone around that table will,” he said.

“In some of those circumstances, the United States will be foursquare behind…but not all.”

Carney said his strategy at the G7 will also be about ad-hoc coalitions that will differ depending on the issue, and that Canada is looking for partners.

Carney predicted the meeting will have a “heavy geopolitical element” given the war in Iran.

“The moral choice is to do everything we can to establish a ceasefire and build that into a durable ceasefire, and ultimately peace in the region, including Lebanon,” he said.

He said there are “encouraging signs” and that it’s the responsibility of the G7 and other countries that will be attending the meeting to build on progress that has been established.
