Mr. John Williamson (New Brunswick Southwest, CPC): Thank you Mr Chair I will say that this is no substitute for Parliament but I appreciate the opportunity New Brunswick families and businesses are rapidly making adjustments to manage and live with the coronavirus pandemic Businesses here are opening and services are being offered Families are preparing for summer and even planning ahead for a new school year in September We have a lot of work ahead of us One notable absence is Service Canada When does the government plan on opening its service counters to assist Canadians again ?
Hon. Ahmed Hussen (Minister of Families, Children and Social Development): Mr Chair our government is committed to ensuring that Canadians continue to have access to the benefits that they rely on through Service Canada We have redeployed over 3000 additional staff to ensure that Canadians continue to have access to their benefits We have established a 1500agent call centre to make sure that people can get access to the phone lines to get the help they need
Mr. John Williamson: Service Canada is about more than providing COVID19 information and benefits Provincial governments are working hard to adjust to Canadas new normal by opening up businesses and frontline government services When will we see Service Canada play its role and open its service counters in our communities ?
Hon. Ahmed Hussen: Mr Chair we are currently working with our worldclass public health experts to determine how best to reopen the Service Canada network for the public Make no mistake : Our Service Canada employees have gone above and beyond to ensure that Canadians continue to have access to the services that they rely on and the benefits that they need
Mr. John Williamson: Please do not hide behind health experts when the Prime Minister is appearing in the middle of large protests yet is afraid to bring back the Parliament of Canada to do its business In fact the New Brunswick legislature is open for regular business Bills are being studied opposition input is being heard and MLAs are voting on legislation not rubberstamping government bills By comparison our Parliament is stuck in pretending it can not function like other lawmaking assemblies Canadians are in the dark about our countrys finances When will the government table an economic update so taxpayers understand what was spent what is owed by our kids and grandchildren and what the governments fiscal footing looks like ?
Hon. Pablo Rodriguez: Mr Chair nobodys hiding Nobodys doing anything like that The only reason my colleague is able to ask a question and I am able to answer his question is that he is right there on the screen We have this hybrid format that cares for MPs across the country not only the ones sitting in the House
Mr. John Williamson: This is no substitute for Parliament I will ask my question again When will the government table an economic update so that taxpayers understand what was spent what is owed by our kids and grandchildren and what the governments fiscal footing looks like in todays environment ?
Hon. Mona Fortier: Mr Chair I thank my honourable colleague for his question Canadas economy is still in a period of extraordinary uncertainty due to COVID19 We have been open and transparent about the measures we have been providing to support families businesses and workers Even our health care
The Chair: We will go back to Mr Williamson
Mr. John Williamson: Except you have not The Auditor General is underfunded We have no idea about the total of government spending Again I will ask when the government will table an economic update so that we can have an understanding of what the governments fiscal footing looks like
Hon. Mona Fortier: Mr Chair we have included biweekly reports to Parliament on the full cost and status of our economic response plan measures since the beginning I have said and I will continue to say that when it is possible to provide a clear economic projection we will provide an update
Mr. John Williamson: What is the full cost to date of the governments COVID19 relief measures as the minister just claimed the government has provided to Parliament ?
Hon. Mona Fortier: Mr Chair we have provided support for workers and 25 million Canadians have been helped through the Canadian wage subsidy We have provided businesses with some loans and 669000 businesses have applied for these loans Even for the CERB we have over eight million Canadians who have applied
The Chair: We will now continue with MrBergeron
Mr. Stphane Bergeron: MrChair as the leader of the Bloc Qubcois mentioned a few moments ago the government promised 14billion to Quebec and the provinces but in targeted transfers That is very little compared to the considerable expenses incurred to deal with the current crisis But Quebec and the provinces do not just want this money to be transferred unconditionally they also want a real discussion on a permanent increase in health care transfers PremierLegault was rightly concerned about the feds interference into provincial jurisdictions The federal government which does not manage any hospitals or longterm care centres must stop playing armchair quarterback and transfer the money to the only governments with jurisdiction over health that is Quebec and the provinces Will it do so without delay and without nitpicking ?
The Honourable Patty Hajdu (Minister of Health): MrChair we know that the Government of Quebec is working hard to ensure the safety of Quebeckers and we are here to support them As part of this cooperation we have developed health and safety recommendations for workplaces we have purchased medical equipment for workers and we have supported the province in developing its reopening program We are continuing this important partnership to ensure the safety of Quebeckers and all Canadians
Mr. Stphane Bergeron: The cooperation is so effective that the money is staying in the federal governments coffers In fact when the federal government wants to impose conditions it always takes longer We see it with housing for which Quebec has not received a dime of the 14billion it is owed We have also seen it with infrastructure funds particularly for public transit water systems and water treatment The health crisis is now The needs are now The much needed reopening of our economy is now Will the government finally transfer the money without messing around or quibbling ?
Hon. Pablo Rodriguez: I am pleased to confirm to my colleague that there is no messing around no quibbling nothing of the kind There is cooperation between two levels of government It is natural to have discussions with all the provinces and with Quebec I myself am taking part in some discussions and several of my colleagues are taking part in others There is a clear willingness on the part of the federal government to cooperate with Quebec and all the provinces That is what we are doing and that is perhaps what the Bloc Qubcois does not like It likes bickering but for the time being there is none
Mr. Stphane Bergeron: We do not want to bicker we want the money to be paid out It is not complicated for heavens sake ! We do not want a blank cheque Right now the money remains in the federal governments coffers There is 14billion that should be paid to Quebec for social housing and is sitting in the federal governments coffers We are waiting for money for water treatment and water systems but it is sitting in the federal governments coffers It is almost July We are wasting precious months for construction What is the government waiting for to pay out the money so that we can get our economy rolling ?
Hon. Pablo Rodriguez: The federal government is a very active partner We are discussing and working with Quebec on infrastructure projects We are continuing our discussions and negotiations on the housing agreement Nothing is at a standstill We are discussing and cooperating for the wellbeing of all Quebeckers
Mr. Stphane Bergeron: MadamChair things are definitely at a standstill because the money is owed and has not been paid out Months are going by while construction is not taking place We need to reopen the economy We need more flexibility in the gas tax program and Quebecs contribution to allow municipalities to undertake work on city halls community centres and fire stations We need the federal government to contribute to funding public transit operations which have become a real financial drain because of the drop in ridership What is the federal government waiting for to provide real help instead of just talking ?
Hon. Pablo Rodriguez: When it comes to just talking the Bloc Qubcois has a lot of experience I admit We in the government are working and cooperating We are not waiting with our arms folded we are discussing a series of issues with Quebec We do more than discuss we work and we cooperate We are working on projects not only in infrastructure but in a number of other areas Just think of the cooperation of our armed forces in the CHSLDs for example We are here for Quebeckers | As John Williamson, the member from New Brunswick Southwest mentioned, what Service Canada had done was far from enough. Service Canada should be responsible for helping their people to adjust to the post-pandemic situation more quickly and recovering the national economy. The government members tried to persuade him that the government was doing a lot to make the revenue condition clear to the public, and their support fund was already prepared. Also in terms of the support fund, Bergeron went on to ask for a closer cooperation between Canadian government and Quebec to guarantee the regional development and stability during the pandemic. |

#Person1#: Mary, you know I've been thinking about applying for a job in Germany. Well, I've got the details about different jobs and I'd like your opinion about which would be the best one to go for.
#Person2#: Where are the jobs?
#Person1#: One's in Munich, one's in Frankfurt and the other one's in Hamburg.
#Person2#: Munich's supposed to be a very nice place.
#Person1#: Yes it is, and it's also in a beautiful part of Germany, not far from the Alias.
#Person2#: That would be great for the kids--they'd love to be able to go skiing at weekends!
#Person1#: But, one problem with Munich is that it's growing very fast. That means the cost of living will probably be very high.
#Person2#: It's a higher salary than the job in Frankfurt but lower than the one in Hamburg. The Hamburg job has the most responsibility. From the point of view of career progression that would probably be the best job for me. Hamburg's the closest to Britain, too, so it would be easy to come back for long weekends and holidays.
#Person1#: That's right, and there's a regular ferry service which would save quite a bit on fares.
#Person2#: What about the cost of living in Germany as a whole? How does it compare with Britain?
#Person1#: Well, it's definitely higher than over here, but salaries are substantially higher, so we'd certainly be better off than we are now.
#Person2#: And what about accommodation?
#Person1#: Well, actually, flats are much cheaper to rent in towns like Munich, Frankfurt and Hamburg than they are here in London, so we'd be able to afford to live in a nice, spacious flat, I'd think.
#Person2#: Mmm, that'd be nice! And do you know what the cultural facilities are like in these cities?
#Person1#: In fact, they're quite good in all three. But, of course, Munich has an international reputation as a cultural center.
#Person2#: Another thing we'll have to consider, of course, are the educational possibilities. How long would you want to go to Germany for?
#Person1#: I think a maximum of five years. I think working overseas will be good for my career and, of course, it'd be a good experience for you and the kids, too!
#Person2#: So we'd be there long enough to enable John to complete a university course.
#Person1#: Well, yes we would, unless of course he preferred to go to a university in the UK. But, yes, if he did want to go to university in Germany, there'd be no problem as each of those cities have their own universities. Munich, in fact, has the second largest university in Germany.
#Person2#: Well, it seems to me the choice must be between Hamburg and Munch. Hamburg has the advantage of being the closest to Britain, so coming home would be relatively easy and inexpensive. Munich, on the other hand, sounds like the most interesting place from a cultural point of view.
#Person1#: I agree with you. Personally, I favor Munich because it's so near to the Alps. We all like sliding and we could go skiing at weekends in the winter.
#Person2#: I think you're right. I had thought Hamburg might be preferable because it's the closest to Britain. But we'll only be abroad for five years, and if we're going to be away, let's choose the most attractive place we can.
#Person1#: Right. That's agreed. Now all I have to do is get the job! | #Person1# asks Mary's opinion about different jobs that #Person1# has been thinking about to apply for in Germany. They compare different aspects, like the salary, accommodation, cultural facilities, and educational possibilities, of the three cities which #Person1# may go to. Since Munich is a cultural center and Hamburg is near Britain, it is hard to make the decision. Finally, #Person1# decides to get the job in Hamburg after hearing Mary's suggestion. |

person: Nope but then again I keep to myself to avoid fights. What exactly does a fairy do?
fairy: Hm, well you don't have the look of someone who's been bespelled to forget a fairy, so I suppose you must have traveled quite a ways. What do fairies do? I suppose to ask what a person does would be about the same. What do *you* do?
person: Are you threatening me?
fairy: No - should I? You don't look like you need threatening, but I can if I need to. Look at my glare, it's quite intimidating, wouldn't you say?

Andrew: Great, you have anything brilliant to say, genius?
Tom: Calm down.
Andrew: ;/ I'm not going to leave it like that. | Tom needs two days off because he's going to Manchester to see a football game. Andrew is angry because he wanted to take a few days off at the same time. He has an important exam and he needs to go home. |
Polly: Hi there! How did Bill's operation go? How is he?
Judith: It all went fine and he isn't in any pain.
Polly: Great!
Polly: Is he at home?
Judith: They kept him overnight in hospital and he was brought home this morning.
Polly: D'you have to do any caring?
Judith: Oh no! He insists on his independence, especially with the catheter. I'm relieved.
Polly: Sure. You've got enough to do, I suppose.
Judith: Oh yes, I do. We are preparing for the Christmas holiday bookings. We've some nice lengthy reservations for the Queen suite. I've blocked the King suite for family visits.
Polly: We've wondered which is the Queen and which the King suite?
Judith: The Queen is the room next to our office, the one facing our road. The King is downstairs.
Polly: Oh, I thought the suite downstairs was much bigger.
Judith: So it is! That's why we named it King suite.
Polly: I must be damned feminist expecting the best being Queen! ;)
Judith: That's interesting! At the start Bill too was adamant about it claiming that the best should be allocated to Queen. Him being British! But we finally followed the generally accepted definitions of queen-size and king-size, the latter being bigger.
Polly: Good gracious! Now you have corrected my erroneous thinking! Thank you, Judith! Of course a king-size bed is bigger than a queen-size.
Judith: Pleasure :))
Polly: Us queens being petite!
Judith: Your turn to be sexist!
Polly: Moi?!
Judith: :)
Polly: How did you name the one we're staying in?
Judith: Now comes a surprise: Prince suite.
Polly: So you definitely need one more to call it Princess suite.
Judith: I wouldn't say no! The income is substantial! They are our bread and butter.
Polly: So your idea has been paying off. Congrats!
Judith: I'm so happy about it. Even if it means heaps of work.
Polly: Happy for you! | Bill's operation went well. He spent the night at the hospital but was brought home this morning. Judith has made reservations at the Queen and King suites. |
#Person1#: What's your favorite sport?
#Person2#: It's hard to say. Perhaps swimming is my favorite. I like swimming because it helps improve my lung capacity. In the scorching summer days, there's nothing like a cool swim. Currently, I go to the pool twice every week.
#Person1#: Is the entrance charge expensive?
#Person2#: Well, it costs an arm and a leg, 30 yuan per person. What a costly sport! That is why I have to refrain from even thinking about it. And I find jogging a very agreeable substitute.
#Person1#: Haha, jogging? Perhaps it might be a bit too boring?
#Person2#: You know what? You won't get a rush from it until you fully understand it. It is a simple sport and doesn't require skills of any sort. This leaves room for me to enjoy the beautiful suburban scenery while jogging. Fresh air caresses my face and blows into my chest, which translates into inspirations. Inspirations are really good stuff for a writer like me. Sometimes, I even come up with a verse or two.
#Person1#: You are really a man who knows how to enjoy being alone. | #Person2#'s favorite sport is probably swimming but it's costly. #Person2# finds jogging an agreeable substitute. #Person2# tells #Person1# how #Person2# enjoys jogging and #Person1# thinks #Person2# knows how to enjoy being alone. |
