“His expression is really very good, it captures your heart just by the vastness of it all, the natural beauty and that huge diversity that is so apparent in its rugged domain and very interesting, complicated people – that vast diversity is its great strength.”

Mr Goodale added: “I think they are really good friends who see eye to eye on a lot of important issues and who also appreciate the rigours of being in the public eye.

“There is always a good laugh about something that has happened to them in the last week or month.

“They talk about global affairs on Ukraine and the challenges in the Pacific and they also talk about climate change and biodiversity and loss of habitat and certainly talk about indigenous issues.

“He’s a teacher (Trudeau), so he knows his history and he knows the tradition where the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom meets with the monarch weekly.

“Where the discussion typically flounders and runs out of steam is when it gets to the point of change to what.

“There is just no discernible agreement on change to what – it’s the kind of change that would need unanimous consent.

“I don’t think anyone can remember a time when that was accomplished.”
