Tracey Breheny: Of course Thanks Minister Yes on that question we moved pretty quickly at the beginning of the pandemic phase to put in place as the Minister said a weekly monitoring tool of all local health boards so through that tool we look at that every week in terms of collecting information Whilst national reportings been stood down we are picking up assurance through that tool on things like staff sickness in CAMHS services referral numbers and so on so we do have that tool in place and at the moment that is telling us that the system can meet the capacity has the capacity to meet need
Sian Gwenllian AM: Have CAMHS staff been shifted over to do other work during this virus outbreak ?
Tracey Breheny: There has been some movement as I am saying around health boards particularly where in the first phase of the epidemic the concentration was on inpatient provision providing critical care but my understanding is from the latest tool that we looked at last week those staff are gradually not just returning to work from selfisolation or whatever or from different parts of the system
Sian Gwenllian AM: And then what about the capacity for CAMHS primary mental health services ? Has there been a reduction in that capacity since the beginning of the pandemic in terms of inpatients ? Because that is what I am hearing that there has been such a reduction but how are those patients then treated and served ?
Tracey Breheny: In terms of inpatient capacity that is in the system in both the north Wales and in the south Wales unit at the moment There were some discharges of young people but we have had the assurance that that was only undertaken where it was clinically safe to do so and where the community support was in place | When Sian Gwenllian questioned whether they had got a monitoring system over the availability of the staff at the mental health organizations, Tracey Breheny rebutted that they kept following up their healthy condition to ensure that they have enough staff to offer the mental health care for the children. |

PhD F: I brought some I do not know if some figures here Well I start we started to work on spectral subtraction And the preliminary results were very bad So the thing that we did is just to add spectral subtraction before this the Wall process which contains LDA on line normalization And it hurts a lot And so we started to look at at things like this which is well it s So you have the C zero parameters for one Italian utterance And I plotted this for two channels Channel zero is the close mic microphone and channel one is the distant microphone And it s perfectly synchronized so And the sentence contain only one word which is `` Due `` And it can not clearly be seen Where where is it ? Where is the word ?
PhD B: oh a plot of C zero
PhD F: This is a plot of C zero when we do not use spectral substraction and when there is no on line normalization So There is just some filtering with the LDA and and some downsampling upsampling
PhD B: C zero is the close talking ? and s channel one is the
PhD F: So C zero is very clean actually then when we apply mean normalization it looks like the second figure though it is not Which is good Well the noise part is around zero and And then the third figure is what happens when we apply mean normalization and variance normalization So What we can clearly see is that on the speech portion the two channel come becomes very close but also what happens on the noisy portion is that the variance of the noise is
PhD B: This is still being a plot of C zero ? OK
PhD F: This is still C zero
PhD B: Can I ask what does variance normalization do ? w What is the effect of that ? | PhD F informed the group that the preliminary results from spectral subtraction were very bad. Mean normalization brought noise to around zero. Mean and variance normalization helped with speech but not with noise variance. |

Mrs. Rosemarie Falk (BattlefordsLloydminster, CPC): Mr Chair the Liberal government has tabled 87 billion in spending and allocated just four hours for Parliament to study debate and pass it The allocated time is wholly inadequate Canadians deserve to know how that money is being spent They deserve to know that this government spending was scrutinized and passed through the rigours of Parliament It is Canadian taxpayers of today and tomorrow who will have the responsibility to pay for this governments spending It is Canadian workers and businesses who will have to do the hard work of rebuilding our economy It is real Canadians who fall through the cracks when this Liberal governments programs fail to meet their intended goals A rubber stamp under the guise of health and safety is not democracy Canadians are owed better Just as we gather four days a week for a hybrid committee meeting parliamentarians can gather to do the full scope of the work that Canadians elected us to do

The Chair: We will go to Mr Lloyd
Mr. Dane Lloyd: Mr Chair it has been months since the Liberals shut down this Parliament and months since the Minister of Finance should have presented a budget or at least an economic update to Canadians Since then we have seen billions spent with little oversight and no plan The minister says that he needs certainty before he can table a budget Well that did not stop Stephen Harper and the Conservatives from tabling a budget in the depth of the last great recession When are these Liberals finally going to take their job seriously and table an economic update ?
Hon. Mona Fortier (Minister of Middle Class Prosperity and Associate Minister of Finance): Mr Chair we are taking this very seriously We are working for Canadians and bringing forward supports to make sure that businesses workers and Canadians can put food on the table and pay their rent We will continue to support Canadians and when we have a clear projection to present we will do that
Mr. Dane Lloyd: Mr Chair the results are in and businesses are not happy with the socalled support programs from these Liberals In fact the oil and gas industry has been shut out of many of these economic programs When is the government going to recognize that their business support plans have been an absolute failure with only a fraction of the billions promised being accessible to businesses ?
Hon. Seamus O'Regan (Minister of Natural Resources): Mr Chair our government has taken swift and immediate action to support our sector throughout this challenging time We had the BCAP which is critically important to providing liquidity to support the SMEs that make up 85 of the jobs in our sector It has taken an enormous team effort People are working around the clock to get money where it needs to be We are helping hardworking Canadians small businesses and large businesses right across the country but in particular in our energy sector
Mr. Dane Lloyd: Mr Chair I am pleased to see the Minister of Natural Resources online He tweeted recently to praise the Alberta Carbon Trunk Line and the North West Redwater Partnership refinery in my riding Can the minister tell us what if any support they have given to the innovative carbon capture and sequestration technology in this country ?
Hon. Seamus O'Regan: Mr Chair we see carbon capture and sequestration as an integral part of lowering emissions making emissions more competitive and making our oil and gas industry more competitive We are seeing where the investment dollars are going They are going to jurisdictions that are committed to lowering emissions Obviously this government is committing to net zero
Mr. Dane Lloyd: I note that the minister could not name a single example of government support for carbon capture utilization and sequestration technology We have spent a lot of time talking about the COVID19 pandemic but Canadians are living with another horrific reality that being the intensifying opioid overdose epidemic Reports indicate that in the past four years 14000 Canadians have died and the numbers during COVID19 have been skyrocketing with British Columbia seeing a 39 increase this year alone I know this because I have lost a family member to a fentanyl overdose When is the government going to take this scourge seriously and take action to save the lives of Canadians ?
Hon. Patty Hajdu: Mr Chair I share the members deep sadness about the number of lives we have lost to opioid overdose Our government has been steadily making it easier for people who live with substance use to access medications to treat substance use such as prescription Suboxone and methadone We have made it easier to rapidly establish safe injection sites in communities and have supported communitybased projects that work with people who are using substances We need to understand that this is a complex issue and we need to support people to get the help they need
The Acting Chair (Mrs. Carol Hughes (AlgomaManitoulinKapuskasing, NDP)): The hon member for ThrseDeBlainville
Ms. Louise Chabot (Thrse-De Blainville, BQ): MadamChair I will come back to the bill introduced last week As parliamentarians we felt like we were watching a very bad play as I imagine the public did I say that it was theatre even though it should not be in this place The government decided to stage a play and act alone and unfortunately there were several acts missing A very important part of this bill was about supporting people with disabilities in this time of crisis However the government did not see fit to negotiate with the opposition parties even though it is in a minority position Despite this arrogance the Bloc Qubcois proposed solutions One of the things we proposed was to split the bill so that we could give this support to people with disabilities but the Conservatives did not want to do that We came back and asked for time to negotiate and give support to people with disabilities but the government defeated the motion We asked that the House be recalled today so that we could pass this part of the bill concerning support for people with disabilities but we are still in the dark Why are we abandoning people with disabilities ?
Hon. Ahmed Hussen (Minister of Families, Children and Social Development): I thank the hon member for her question We know this pandemic has deeply affected the lives and health of all Canadians and has disproportionately affected Canadians with disabilities in particular From the very beginning we have taken a disabilityinclusive approach to our emergency response to ensure that Canadians with disabilities get the support they need That is why we announced a onetime payment of 600 for persons with disabilities to address these expenses This will go a long way toward helping Canadians with disabilities We encourage and urge all parties in the opposition to support this measure We are confident that this measure along with other investments will benefit Canadians with disabilities and we hope to get the support of the other parties very soon
Ms. Louise Chabot: MadamChair I remind you that this measure was not passed because we were not allowed to do so A measure to help people with disabilities has been put in an omnibus bill We have tried here in the House to provide the means to give that support so I ask again can the government be counted on to give a response to people with disabilities ?
Hon. Pablo Rodriguez: MadamChair it was absolutely not an omnibus bill It contained assistance for the disabled of course but it also contained assistance for our seasonal workers as well as a number of other measures that the Bloc Qubcois opposed They refused to debate and when the question of splitting the bill came up the Conservatives refused to do that That is why there is no bill at the moment and that is very unfortunate
Ms. Louise Chabot: It was a Bloc Qubcois proposal to split the bill The government had not thought of it but they found that it was a good idea Let me return to the attack This bill proposed changes to the wage subsidy program it was supposed to make the CERB more flexible it proposed fines for fraudsters and since there was a little section about a benefit for the disabled the government took it for granted that we would support it without any negotiations with the parties However we set one very important condition : that the Liberal Party must get its hands out of taxpayers pockets in terms of the wage subsidy
Hon. Pablo Rodriguez: MadamChair as we listen to the Bloc Qubcois members we might think that they invented peanut butter and apple pie This bill contained a number of measures that all Quebeckers and all Canadians needed but the Bloc Qubcois refused to debate it No we did not follow the Bloc Qubcois example in splitting the bill we had thought of it a long time previously We have not been able to do that because of the Conservatives Because of them we can not help those living with disabilities
The Acting Chair (Mrs. Carol Hughes): MsChabot you have 45seconds left
Ms. Louise Chabot: We asked on a number of occasions for the House to be able to sit starting today to pass the part of the bill dealing with those with disabilities What is the status of that MadamChair ? We have not heard about it since
Hon. Pablo Rodriguez: MadamChair my colleague knows very well that things are not as simple as that There are procedural mechanisms unique to the House I hope that one day we will be able to pass this bill and be able to provide assistance for those living with disabilities I hope that the Conservatives will change their minds and give us their support
The Acting Chair (Mrs. Carol Hughes): We will go now to the honourable member for Don Valley East Ms Ratansi | Dane Lloyd asked about the budget given by the government in the economic recession, This was to table an economic update and provide jobs. As for the disabilities, Louise Chabot pointed to the bill regarding the disabilities and why it was not passed. |

monk: It sounds awfully wrong to pray to multiple Saints. For they are just Saints
priest: Sure, but Christ gets plenty of prayers - some of them contradictory. If two teams pray for victory in a game of kick the cow pattie, does christ fail because one team wins while the other loses? No, it is because one team prayed to the patron Saint of Cow Patties, and the other to the Patron Saint of Feet! And that's hardly a contest now is it?
monk: True, but you instead of helping me, you have just challenged me.
priest: Well, only because you don't believe in the truth of the Saints. And I mean really, I ought to have you imprisoned as a heretic.
monk: What?! That is absurd. You seem to work against the church not for it!
priest: I mean . . . literally every church in the monastery is name after Saint this, or Saint that. Now, I like to have a certain amount of independence among my clergy, but this is just silliness.

watcher: I do not need to. Divine clerical magic is my specialty.
archer: I understand. I was just curious. I like to give archery lessons from time to time.
watcher: I suppose learning a new skill could come in handy. Can you show me the basics?
archer: You put your thumb up top. And you always keep your eyes focused. Focus is key.
watcher: And the arrow goes. I use my powers to control its path with my mind. Watch it land right in the neck of the prisoner being escorted down below the tower!

John Griffiths AM: Could I then just ask you what you see as the main pressures on the Welsh higher education sector at the moment ?
Bethan Owen: The funding position would be the main pressure The recommendations made by Sir Ian Diamond in his review of higher education funding and student finance are in the process of being implemented and the changes to the student finance arrangements will take effect from this September However the recommendations for reestablishing funding at Welsh institutions are expected to take quite a bit longer That funding when it returns to institutions is intended to reestablish funding for higher cost provision both full time and part time reinstate funding for innovation and maintain at the very least the research funding in real terms Universities in the meantime are trying to minimise the cost reductions that they are making in order to maintain the infrastructure so that when the funding comes they can get the best value out of it We have announced our funding allocations for 201819 For the research and teaching grant though we are still funding at a lower level—£125 million less—then the starting point for the Diamond report the 201516 starting report But we expect to be able to start introducing funding from 201920 to make a start on implementing Diamond And it is probably important to note that the Diamond recommendations predated Brexit therefore the challenges introduced by Brexit are in addition to those that the Diamond report was addressing The other pressures relate to student recruitment I mentioned the EU and international students There is also the start of a reduction both in Welshdomiciled and Englishdomiciled applications to Wales Enrolments are obviously the key important number which we will see later And the other pressures include pay and pension costs not least the issues around the universities superannuation scheme pension fund where there is potentially a significant increase in cost Increased student expectations for modern facilities and infrastructure bring a requirement for capital expenditure and borrowing which bring their own pressures And finally the uncertainty about potential consequences that could arise from the review in England of fees and funding—the Augar review
John Griffiths AM: In terms of European Union students and enrolment is Wales forecast to do less well than England and if so why might that be ?
Bethan Owen: They are not forecasting it It is very difficult until the enrolments are made and it is also very hard to see—the data that we see is the UCAS data Institutions also recruit directly so until we see the actual recruitment— I think the arrangements that have changed from 201819 also impact on EU students So now they have to find the full fee whereas previously they were getting the grant in the same way as Welsh students So I am speculating that that might be having an impact as well on EU students appetite to come
John Griffiths AM: First of all Llyr then Mark | The funding position would be the main pressure. The recommendations for re-establishing funding at Welsh institutions are expected to take quite a bit longer. Wales institutions are still funding at a lower level. Then, as for enrollments, there is also the start of a reduction, both in Welsh-domiciled and English-domiciled applications to Wales. And finally, the uncertainty about potential consequences that could arise from the review in England of fees and funding—the Augar review. |
