Ms. Marilyn Gladu: Very good Mr Chair My riding is on the border of Canada and the YOUS We see a number of inconsistencies in what is considered essential travel with regard to the YOUS and actually in the interpretation of different CBSA agents While we have Americans coming over to buy cheaper prescription medications and to fish individuals in my riding who are trying to get auditors over so that they can be approved for export businesses are being declined We have people who have purchased masts from Canadian producers for their boats and who want to come and pick them up who are not being allowed to do that People trying to sell plasma into the YOUS are being denied When will they clarify the rules to the CBSA agents so that essential travel and trade and commerce including individual commerce is understood ?
Hon. Bill Blair (Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness): Mr Chair we have implemented very rigorous rules that have been well documented and understood by CBSA to stop all nonessential travel Those measures have been very successful We have seen a 99 reduction in international travel coming into Canada At the same time we recognize the importance of maintaining essential supply routes so that goods and services could reach Canada and we could put groceries on our shelves We also recognize the important work that essential workers do on both sides of the border We have provided CBSA with clarification Their interpretation of those rules has been broadly consistent I have heard from a number of our colleagues in caucus with concerns about individual cases When we receive those inquiries we follow up immediately I want to assure the member that we will continue to do that The work we are doing to stop nonessential travel has been important for the health and safety of Canadians and we will continue with that work
Ms. Marilyn Gladu: Mr Chair my next question has to do with sole proprietor businesses We see that many of them are not eligible for any of the benefit packages that have been rolled outEI CERB the wage subsidy etc What is the government going to do to address sole proprietors who are currently falling through the cracks ?
Hon. Bill Morneau (Minister of Finance): Mr Chair first let me say that we absolutely recognize there are businesses across the country of all sizes that are finding this to be extremely difficult The intent of the measures we put forward is obviously not only to give individuals a bridge but to give businesses a bridge We are looking at ways that we can ensure that the Canada emergency business account has the broadest possible application More than 500000 businesses have already been approved for these loans representing over 20 billion We are looking at ways we can consider that eligibility process recognizing that we need to make sure that the program continues to have its desired impact and we will have more to say on that
The Chair: The next question will go to Mr Arnold
Mr. Mel Arnold (North OkanaganShuswap, CPC): Mr Chair this is my first appearance so I hope you can hear me
The Chair: We can hear you fine Please proceed
Mr. Mel Arnold: Thank you Mr Chair It is good to see everyone is faces On April 3 the fisheries minister said opening dates would be determined by harvesters Since then the minister has overruled the will of harvesters in Prince Edward Island and in the gulf who voted to start their seasons on time but she has allowed harvesters from her own riding to proceed with their seasons as scheduled giving them access to markets weeks before their competitors This double standard is severely unfair and Atlantic harvesters are furious as demonstrated during the protests on the Canso Causeway yesterday When will the minister stop abusing her position and start respecting fish harvesters by opening up lobster fishing areas 23 24 and 26 ?
Hon. Bernadette Jordan (Minister of Fisheries, Oceans and the Canadian Coast Guard): Mr Chair when making decisions with regard to when seasons open a number of factors are taken into account They are complex decisions that take into account what is necessary for processors to be ready for the season what is necessary for harvesters to be ready for the season as well socioeconomic impacts on the area We are looking at all of those measures when we make these decisions We do not make them lightly They are difficult decisions to make In the decisions we have made around the gulf one of the main things we heard from all of those areas is that it was very important for them to start on the same date That is why the decision was made to start on the 15th of May We are looking forward to seeing the harvesters out on the water We are looking forward to the product that they bring in We will continue do everything we can to support the industry
Mr. Mel Arnold: Thank you Minister I believe the time
The Chair: Excuse me No the hon minister had another 15 seconds coming to her I would like to remind hon members not to interrupt a person while they are speaking I will do my best to try to keep it about level Maybe I will start muting if it is necessary but interrupting is not going to solve anything Mr Arnold I will let you continue You have three minutes and nine seconds left
Mr. Mel Arnold: Thank you Mr Chair West coast fishing tourism is a key economic driver in British Columbia especially in coastal communities and yet the public fishery gets no respect from the government Last year the public fishery was weakened by restrictions based on ideology and not science A year later the fisheries minister refuses even to discuss viable sciencebased solutions to conserve BCs public fisheries Does the minister and her government have a will and a plan to support Canadas west coast fisheries and the communities they sustain ?
The Chair: The hon minister in 30 seconds please
Hon. Bernadette Jordan: Mr Chair the fishery is important in every coastal community I recognize its value for our economy as well as what it means to our coastal communities That is why we continue to work with those communities and with the fisheries to make sure that we are doing everything we possibly can to support them During these extremely difficult times we are working on measures with the fishery in BC as well as on the Atlantic coast and eastern Quebec to make sure that we are delivering for them and that all of the issues they are having are being addressed
Mr. Mel Arnold: Mr Chair Canadas seniors especially those on basic incomes are being hard hit by the COVID19 crisis as they face new rising costs and scarcity of services Seniors require adequate caregiver supports physical safety and freedom to access their savings to reinforce their financial security Why has the government failed to recognize the increasing challenges that seniors are facing ? Will the government support Canadas senior citizens ?
The Chair: The hon minister in 30 seconds or less please
Hon. Bernadette Jordan: Mr Chair I want to assure my hon colleague that the government has been focused on seniors during this challenging time We have provided a GST credit supplement of 400 for single seniors and 600 for couples for low and modestincome seniors We have also ensured that the Canada emergency response benefit is there for seniors who have lost income due to COVID19 We have made them eligible
The Chair: We will go back to Mr Arnold Mr Arnold you have a minutehopefully a 30second question and a 30second answer
Mr. Mel Arnold: Thank you Mr Chair On April 23 my colleagues and I called on the government to create a program that would match students seeking employment with employers in Canadas essential food supply chains What has the government done to match students and other Canadians seeking employment with employers in the agriculture and agrifood sectors including those in the fish and seafood sector ?
Hon. Carla Qualtrough (Minister of Employment, Workforce Development and Disability Inclusion): Mr Chair we are doing all we can to make sure using our existing employment programs that we create opportunities for students to work and get work experience this summer We know that this is going to be really tough especially in areas like agriculture so we have dedicated streams for agriculture sector employers to access students with help from the government and a number of different initiatives including Canada summer jobs which I am really excited to see the results of in the coming days | Members expressed concern that pandemic related restrictions were harming businesses and that the government was not reopening businesses and providing stimulus in an effective fashion. Emphasis was placed on reopening fishing, restoring agricultural supply chains, and supporting farmers. Many members inquired as to why the government had only furnished $252 million of the promised $2.6 billion fund to maintain food security in Canada. |

Mr. Gabriel Ste-Marie (Joliette, BQ): Thank you MrChair Regardless of the COVID19 pandemic the last time I checked we still had a democratic system and the government had to remain accountable The government needs to present a picture of the economic situation and a picture of its overall emergency measures Does the government intend to extend the measures over the summer ? If so how will it do so ? The government must also present its working scenarios for the economic recovery The government needs to be transparent When will the government provide its economic update ?
Hon. Bill Morneau: MrChair I would like to thank the hon member for his questions I agree it is very important to be transparent and to provide the necessary information to Canadians Every day we announce measures of course but also the cost of the measures and the amount of the investments It is very important The challenge at the moment is the economic situation which is very fluid When the situation is more stable we will have the opportunity to give an economic update
Mr. Gabriel Ste-Marie: In my opinion MrChair it will really be too late to do the economic update when things are more stable We have been asking for an economic update for the past month Even the Parliamentary Budget Officer has been urging the government to table an economic update in a timely manner With only three weeks left in the House before the summer the clock is ticking The Quebec government will table its economic update later this month Will the federal government follow suit ?
Hon. Bill Morneau: MrChair let me confirm that we will continue to be transparent about the investments it is very important Of course each day we work to make sure we have a solid grasp of the economic situation As I said when the situation is a little more stable we will have the opportunity to explain our situation with an economic update
Mr. Gabriel Ste-Marie: Once again MrChair when the situation is more stable it will be too late to do an economic update instead we will have to table a budget with the recovery in mind Speaking of the recovery the Parliamentary Budget Officer is surprised that the government is calling on the private sector for ideas for its recovery plan MrGiroux points out that this government has thousands of public servants with very good ideas and he adds that the government can also ask for the opposition parties views That would be a very good idea Why is the government contracting out the development of its recovery plan to the private sector ?
Hon. Bill Morneau: MrChair I would like to tell the hon member that it is important to listen to what we are trying to do and to listen to peoples ideas and opinions not only in Parliament but also from our society So we keep listening Of course with our approach we will address the economic recovery in a way that will ensure we can maintain our very strong position
Mr. Gabriel Ste-Marie: MrChair we are still surprised that the government has contracted out its recovery plan to the private sector The sooner the government tables its recovery plan the better Businesses and individuals would start gaining confidence in the economy again It would help them to loosen the purse strings and be assured that there will be economic life after the pandemic Again that is what the Parliamentary Budget Officer says Can the government tell us when it will table its recovery plan ?
Hon. Bill Morneau: MrChair we feel it is very important to consider what we need to do in each phase of our recovery At this time it is necessary to consider the public health situation and the gradual reopening of our economy That is why we feel our approach aims for a safe recovery Obviously by gathering more information in Phase3 we will be able to consider more than one approach to recovery
The Acting Chair (Mr. Bruce Stanton): MrSteMarie you have about 30seconds left
Mr. Gabriel Ste-Marie: Thank you I understand that the exact date for tabling the recovery plan may be difficult to determine at this time Can the minister tell us whether he currently intends to table the recovery plan in a month ending in ber ? If not will it be before or after that ?
Hon. Bill Morneau: We continue to work with the provinces on an approach to determine the timing of the recovery and we are also listening to our colleagues in Parliament of course | The opposition party stressed that the government needed to present a picture of the economic situation and a picture of its overall emergency measures. The minister explained that they felt that it was very important to consider what that need to do in each phase of the recovery. Thus,they would not announce an overall recovery plan any sooner. |

milkmaid: Well, that's a pretty rude thing for a horse to say to a milkmaid.

User Interface: And we have the company logo here and this will be the infrared here and this will be the power point the on off button kind
Marketing: What was the where is the LED ?
User Interface: It is in the middle of one of the little Rs And then the other one is the power And we just have a simple design We wanted it all to be and all the buttons are accessible from your thumb
Project Manager: Notice you have a number ten button
User Interface: So you do not have to Oh that was a mistake was not it ?
Industrial Designer: You just need the nought
User Interface: Right no that is a zero Take that one off Sorry I was in charge of the numbers And this is just if you have got like eleven or twelve or thirt the plus
Industrial Designer: So one plus one would be eleven
User Interface: You can go one three or something
Project Manager: Oh You press a plus button ?
User Interface: You press that first and then you go one three
Project Manager: Oh I have never heard of that kind before
User Interface: Well we just thought we have all the numbers here so we wanted something representative of numbers larger than ten and
Industrial Designer: because if you on your average remote if you press one twice you just go to or say you wanted channel twelve you press one and then you go to channel one and then two then you would just go to channel two instead of twelve
Marketing: Oh there is no e
Industrial Designer: So if you did like one plus two you could go to channel twelve or two plus two is channel twenty two
User Interface: So the plus and then
Project Manager: But Would you have to go zero plus one if you wanted to go to channel one or two ?
User Interface: No no th all that is why we have all these numbers These numbers these numbers all work independently up to nine
Project Manager: but I mean if you press it will go to that channel right away Because you got to press the plus afterwards
User Interface: Oh no the plus is only for if you are going past the number nine
Project Manager: I know but if if I want to go to say number like sixty five channel sixty five if I press the six it will go to channel six and then I will press the plus and then it will go to six and then put the five and it will go to sixty five ?
User Interface: You p Oh No you press the plus first I I well it does not we have not really s I would have thought you pressed the plus first and then the six five but she says plus press which
Industrial Designer: Well I do not mind we can further define that
User Interface: what do you think is simpler ?
Industrial Designer: I would not have thought it would be a problem that it went to channel six first in like on the way to channel sixty five
Project Manager: it would not be a problem But I was just wondering
Industrial Designer: But I suppose it is not as snappy
Project Manager: like as long as we realise that is what it will do
Marketing: Well the there is a there is a delay on remotes I think Where you can have it it is like a five second input time
Industrial Designer: If you do not put it
Marketing: So as long as you hit them dada As long as there is not a big pause between the t hitting the two buttons Was there so on the top there is volume and
Industrial Designer: which is so you could just go like that without thinking about it like
Marketing: Channel up volume up cool
User Interface: Just so we can flick
Project Manager: Right where where is the power button ?
User Interface: It is in the middle of one of the little Rs
Industrial Designer: It is the bigger R So it is just like
User Interface: so it is all accessible Without m taking your hand off the remote
Industrial Designer: we went for like a a circular design for the numbers because we thought that is kind of a more natural movement than just going like that with your thumb e ergonomics are all considered
User Interface: And it might actually help with the repetitive stress injury as well
Industrial Designer: It could cause another type of repetitive stress injury though But no I mean it is a different movement and the feel of it I mean we have made this out of Play Doh which is representing the you know the rubber and the spongy rubberness because it was said before in the material specification that this the this antiRSI material is often used in stress balls so this has got a you know a bit of give to it and it just feels feels different
Project Manager: Bit of a stress ball feel
Industrial Designer: Would you like to feel it yourselves ? How it fits in the palm of your hand ?
Marketing: Oh it is nice Oh I think I killed the five I killed the four Oh god
Industrial Designer: O as for the colours we were presented with a limited range of colours for this prototype But we are thinking that seeing as we are having it in interchangeable casing anyway that this is not necessarily a representation of the true colours that we would necessarily use Or the combination and we are thinking to carryon with the fruit and vegetable theme the colour combination just could just be named after different fruit like banana could be black and yellow watermelon red and green or vanilla might be the most popular if it just blends in
User Interface: Because it would be quite subtle and
Industrial Designer: more settled cream instead of the others are all a bit garish
Project Manager: It looks more Think like vanilla and banana would
Industrial Designer: Bananas more representative of our colour scheme like the company the yellow and black So that for corporate identity that would probably be the most strength | The prototype was a pretty simple design in a mango shape with the company logo on it and an on-off button. The color of the prototype was vanilla and yellow like and the material was a combination of rubber and plastic with a company logo. Moreover, there was a circular design for the numbers so it could be palm-held, accessible from the user' thumb. Besides, a plus button was added on the device so the channels could be switched easily without any confusion.For instance, one plus two it could go to channel twelve. But this function was challenged by Industrial Designer who argued that it was not snappy since the five-second pause input time was enough for switching to the double-digit channel. After all, the team agreed that it was overall, a good design, well representing the company's identity. |

faery: Telekinesis? Done! But like I said, limited - so it will only work for objects within 20, and not at all during a full more or within 50 feet of a badger.
farmer: Of a badger? That seems quite situational, no?!

Mark Reckless AM: Yes Can I follow up on tracking adopted children ? I entirely understand that you can not force parents to disclose that their child is adopted However my understanding was that in England there was a dataset with social services that was shared with schools in a way that I am not clear is happening in Wales and how if at all that links to the pupil level annual school census data Perhaps sort of linked to that is not there an argument for making the parents of adopted children in the schools potentially with adopted children more aware that adopted children who were previously looked after have this potential grant and would they not be more willing to disclose this at least confidentially to the school and Government if they knew there was this upside of doing so ?
Kirsty Williams AM: We are actively looking at whether we should try and find a way of collecting this data with the caveats that I just gave earlier We can not force parents to divulge information that is a matter for them nor would I want to But there is an active discussion going on at the moment about whether we could create a dataset where people divulge this information and we can then track the children through You are absolutely right One of the ways in which we can often encourage takeup for instance of free school meals especially in those communities where there is a sense of reluctance to apply for support—even though people are entitled to it there is a reluctance to do it sometimes we see this in rural areas— Actually appealing to the parents by saying Actually this will mean more money for your childs school budget is a much more compelling reason why people will apply for it then saying Actually it is going to help you because they do not want to be seen being dependent they do not want to be seen being helped But if you say to them Actually do you know that this means more money for your childs school ? they go Oh all right then I will fill in the forms now So you are right I think there is something that we could do to make parents understand in the round that this has an impact But we are actively looking at and discussing whether we could create a dataset around adopted children and how we can do that in line with data protection and data sharing One of the things I am concerned about in the performance of lookedafter children generally is how we can across Government work more closely together We can not see the educational attainment of lookedafter children just being a job of education It is got to be a job of social services and the health service as well There is got to be a joinedup approach to doing that Now officials were at the ministerial advisory group that is chaired by David Melding on prospects for lookedafter children They were there at the group last week David tells me that the paper was very positively received by the group I will be sitting down with David Melding to talk through what more we can do on the education side I think there is really an appetite between me and the Minister for children to get a closer working relationship on this We can not expect schools to do it on their own and alone And there are things that we can do out there in local authorities to help improve outcomes It is not just about the PDG it is about when social services are thinking about a placement where does the discussion about where children are going to go to school—when does that take place ? Do we talk about the placement move a child and then think Oh my goodness me what are we going to do about the schooling ? If you can imagine the school could have been working really really hard with a pupil to get them in a good place to get them being able to access the curriculum and then social services decide that the placement is being changed So we potentially lose all of that So a greater involvement in education and better linkedup working in local authorities will help us with this It can not be just the job of the PDG If we think we can crack this with just PDG then we are being delusional It has to be a crossgovernment approach at a national level and at a local government level as well to get this right Sometimes data protection—how can we break down some of these barriers between you know the school does not need to schools should not see the entire social services report ? Well maybe the school does need to see some of that background information if they are going to have an impact for that child So there is more work to do but it can not be just the job of education on its own if we are going to make a difference nor can it just be the job of the PDG to make a difference for those children | According to Kirsty Williams, they are actively looking at whether they should try and find a way of collecting this data. They can't force parents to divulge information that is a matter for them. But there is an active discussion going on at the moment about whether they could create a dataset where people divulge this information and we can then track the children through. They can't see the educational attainment of looked-after children just being a job of education. It has to be a job of social services and the health service as well. |
cooker: Sure. Have any cilantro?
traveler: But of course! There's also a bit of a spice called cinnamon, which is quite delicious in baking. Here, give them a smell.
cooker: Actually, I can't smell anything. Got my nose broken last year in a brawl and it killed my smell. But I'll trust you. Give me everything you have for 1 license.
traveler: That's it in your hand there, friend. Feel free to try it out, and do send any friends you have our way. We've made a small camp out on the outskirts of the bazaar, and myself and my fellow travelers have plenty more where that came from.
cooker: Okay. I'll give you the document for all this and a place to camp for the night. I'm actually a traveler, too, and I need a place to crash.
traveler: But of course! The more the merrier - protection in numbers, eh?

a guard: If I share this with you, then I don't get anything to eat while I'm down here. And trust me, I'm scheduled to be posted here for a while.
the prisoner: But look at you, 6 of me would make up you, you don't have to give it all to me, a peice of cheese, anything. Water something!
a guard: Prisoners rations get doled out in the evenings; you'll have to be content to wait until then. Be grateful that they're giving you anything at all, considering the charges.
the prisoner: Grateful! I was starving and took a mouldy loaf of bread, the merchant couldn't even sell it if he had wanted to.
a guard: That merchant uses those loaves to fatten the geese for the butcher. Just because it's not on the market doesn't make it worthless.
the prisoner: The geese is worth more than my life

#Person1#: So Tanya, welcome.

#Person2#: I'm one year older than Angie.
#Person1#: You've been to the opening night. What was it like seeing yourself on screen?
#Person2#: Well, before I went to the opening I thought it might be scary, but it wasn't in the end. I could remember how many times I'd had to do the scene. How much of me had gone into it? I certainly wasn't bored watching the film even though I knew it so well.
#Person1#: And were there any similarities between you and Angie?
#Person2#: Yeah. Well, it would be nice to think so. She often doesn't follow normal rules and I'm a lot like that. She doesn't really care what people think about her though. However, I do. Also, she's much more confident than me.
#Person1#: How did you play the role so well?
