#Person1#: OK, Devon, I've been putting on a few pounds and you're quite a lean fit guy.
#Person2#: Well, thank you.
#Person1#: What do you recommend? What can I do to lose weight?
#Person2#: Well, I exercise a lot. I go running at least three times a week. But more than that I enjoy playing sports and so different sports use different muscles and all of it helps to lose that weight that you might have gained.

#Person2#: Do ya?

#Person2#: No, not this one. But the company has made other models to try out on business. This one is special because of its color, and the images moving.
#Person1#: Oh, that's interesting.
#Person2#: You see, the first videophones--that's what they are called--were made in Japan. But they can only show a still black-and-white image, so this videophone is much better than that. Mind you, I'm not sure I'd want one, would you?
#Person1#: Well, no. I don't think I would. I bet it costs a lot of money. Does it say how much it costs?
#Person2#: Yes. The early black-and-white ones cost several hundred pounds. But the one is about costs several thousand pounds.
#Person1#: Hum. Why does anybody want one, do you think?

Mr. James Bezan: Thank you Chair My question is to the Prime Minister He was just talking about the tragic conditions in longterm care facilities in Ontario and there was a report out from Quebec today I want to commend the Canadian Armed Forces for witnessing these appalling conditions putting it in the context of a report and providing care to our loved ones in these longterm care facilities The government is saying they did not receive the report from the department until May 22 but this report came out on May 14 What happened to that report for eight days ?
The Chair: We will go to the honourable minister We seem to have a technical issue Mr Sajjan We can not hear you You might want to put down your bar and keep it down while you are speaking
Hon. Harjit S. Sajjan (Minister of National Defence): Mr Chair I want to thank our Canadian Armed Forces members for the tremendous work they are doing They did their duty noted down their observations and reported them While those observations were being reported directly to the managers a report was being compiled This report was given to me on the 21st I then forwarded it to the Minister of Public Safety on the 22nd and that report was then given to the provincial authorities very quickly afterwards
Mr. James Bezan: I trust that you got the report on the 21st but the report was written on the 14th so what happened with that report for seven days ? Why was not it acted upon ? Could you just explain that ? Our loved ones were at risk during that entire time
Hon. Harjit S. Sajjan: Mr Chair as we stated this report was done and given up through the chain of command and the appropriate leadership did their due diligence Once we received this report it was forwarded to the appropriate authorities Again I want to commend our Canadian Armed Forces members for not only the tremendous work they are doing but also for doing their duty
Mr. James Bezan: That report from Ontario documented appalling conditions horrific care that was being given to the clients and also the way that the staff conducted themselves We know that there are 39 members of the Canadian Armed Forces currently infected with COVID19 Minister do you believe that the infection could have been transmitted from staff to our soldiers serving in longterm care facilities because proper protocols were not being followed ?
Hon. Harjit S. Sajjan: Mr Chair when it comes to any type of activities that we send our Canadian Armed Forces on we do our due diligence to make sure that we have the right protocols in place and the appropriate training This is why we have taken the time to make sure our folks not only did the appropriate training but had the appropriate equipment We have the right protocols in place and we will make sure that our members who are infected by COVID will get the appropriate treatment as well
Mr. James Bezan: Does the Minister of National Defence believe that our soldiers serving in Operation Laser who have put themselves in harms way in battling the COVID virus as a war deserve to have hazard pay benefits ?
Hon. Harjit S. Sajjan: Mr Chair when it comes to looking after Canadian Armed Forces personnel yes we are actually in the process as we speak of making sure that our members have the appropriate hazard pay This is currently being drafted and we will have more to say on this shortly
Mr. James Bezan: I hope that means it is a yes I do encourage the government to provide that compensation to our soldiers and troops serving in Operation Laser I would finally like to come back to the issue of the timeline from May 14 to May 21 when that report was in the department for one week Under our parliamentary system ministers are accountable for the conduct of their departments Will the minister take responsibility for that report sitting on someone is desk for seven days and not being turned over to the proper authorities ?
Hon. Harjit S. Sajjan: Mr Chair I want to make it very clear : When it comes to the observations that were made those were immediately reported to the appropriate management of the care facilities and to the appropriate links within the province At the same time this report was being compiled and pushed up to the chain of command and they did their due diligence As I stated it was given to us and on the same day it was forwarded to the Minister of Public Safety who immediately then sent it to the provincial authorities
Mr. James Bezan: Was one of those authorities that this was sent to the RCMP ?
Hon. Harjit S. Sajjan: Mr Chair as stated this will not only be given to the proper authorities but the appropriate steps will be taken now
The Chair: We will now go to Ms Falk Ms Falk | The opposition party questioned that the report was delayed in issuing by the government and was not acted upon. The minister answered that the report was done and given up through the chain of command, and once the government received this report, it was forwarded to the appropriate authorities. The minister denied the fact that the report was released and acted upon late. |
king: He has no other choice but to accept! It would be madness to come up against our mighty forces! And against your charming persuasions.
queen: Thank you dear. I assume the meeting with the generals went well and we are prepared if the worst should happen?
king: They have been briefed to the fullest extent that I would allow. None of them know the real reason for these negotiations, and I think it best things stay that way.
queen: Absolutely you are a genius as always. Are our sons ready? This would be their first battle
king: Ah, Thomas is still hesitant. He is still skittish around the horses.
queen: Maybe he can go out with the ground troupes and Peter can go out with the knights. Wouldn't hurt to have 1 in each division
king: The men do look to our Royal Family in battle as a sign of encouragement. I have always assumed horseback was the proper place for them.
queen: That makes sense I just don't want Thomas to freeze during a battle and something to happen to him

Gina: Dear all, I’m afraid I need to bring up a difficult issue today.
Michael: What’s the matter, Gina?
Gina: There has been another burglary in the neighbourhood.
Kate: This is terrible!
Daniel: Where was it? This is the third one only this week!
Gina: Fortunately no one’s been injured. They stole a tv, two laptops and a bit of cash.
Michael: What does the police say?
Gina: Nothing yet, they’re investigating.
Kate: I bet this is some kind of a gang.
Daniel: A gang?
Kate: Well, no one can get a tv, laptops and all this stuff on their own.
Gina: Regardless, I think it’d be a good thing to organise a neighbourhood watch.
Michael: Good thinking!
Daniel: Definitely. I know a friend who did this with his neighbours and it worked out pretty great.
Kate: How did they organise it? Did they have a schedule?
Daniel: Well, basically, they were patrolling the streets twice a day – during the day and in the evening, always in twos.
Gina: Could you please talk to your friend so they can help us organise it?
Daniel: Sure, no problem.
Kate: I think that we can also organise a fundraising for CCTV.
Michael: Hm, I’m not so sure people will be keen on this. They value their privacy, you know.
Daniel: Well, I understand, but I kind of value my safety more.
Gina: It wouldn’t hurt to bring this up at the next meeting. Saturday is it?
Kate: Yes, I can talk to them. I’m not a big fan of camera either, but in this case it may be the best solution.
Daniel: Especially as the police is not doing their job. Three burglaries in a week is three too many in my opinion.
Gina: It’s not an easy case, but I think CCTV may help to catch them if not to scare them away.
Michael: Hm, let’s wait until Saturday so we can speak to others. We can’t do anything without their approval.
Daniel: I’d happily suggest organising the neighbourhood watch. | There has been another burglary in the neighbourhood. They stole a tv, two laptops and a bit of cash. The police are investigating.

Mr. Pierre Paul-Hus (CharlesbourgHaute-Saint-Charles, CPC): Thank you MrChair Although we are right in the middle of a pandemic and the government has agreed to set aside all parliamentary business in order to concentrate solely on eliminating the virus in Canada and its impacts the Prime Minister is deceiving Canadians by introducing measures to punish lawabiding firearm owners Why ?
Right Hon. Justin Trudeau (Prime Minister): MrChair I feel that all Canadians were affected by the massacre in Nova Scotia Once again too many families are facing tragedy and tremendous grief During the last election campaign we promised to ban militarystyle assault weapons and that is exactly what we have done We will be working with members from all parties in order to continue strengthening gun control It is a shame that once more the Conservatives do not want to strengthen gun control in the country
Mr. Pierre Paul-Hus: MrChair I understand the Prime Ministers reply However I would like to know whether he considers that with this order in council organized crime street gangs and other criminals are simply going to turn in their weapons
Right Hon. Justin Trudeau: This is indeed only a first step but it is an important one We are doing other things to eliminate or restrict handguns in our municipalities to strengthen the control at our borders and to implement other measures I am pleased to hear the hon member speak of those measures because we are going to work together in the House to strengthen gun control I hope that the Conservative Party will be part of that discussion in a positive way in order to keep Canadians safe
Mr. Pierre Paul-Hus: MrChair I can simply say to the Prime Minister that the Conservative Party has always been committed to battling criminals not lawabiding citizens Speaking of criminals we know that even before the pandemic the Prime Minister had asked the Parole Board of Canada to release prisoners more easily and more quickly Now we are learning that because of the pandemic some releases are happening very quickly The Minister of Public Safety told us that the people were approaching the end of their sentences or were older but we are learning in the media that some dangerous criminals are being released Can the Prime Minister give us an explanation ?
Right Hon. Justin Trudeau: The protection the safety and the health of all Canadians are important for the government This is why we have taken additional measures in our correctional services to ensure that guards and inmates are protected We have indeed opened the doors to some more speedy releases but only in very specific cases that present little or no danger for Canadians We have managed to find the right balance We must protect Canadians and we must also ensure that they are safe Those two things go handinhand
Mr. Pierre Paul-Hus: So is the Prime Minister confirming to us that no dangerous criminals have been precipitously released so that they do not have to experience COVID19 within the walls ? | The Prime Minister disagreed with Mr. Paul-Hus. He expressed that he had a mandate from the last election campaign to ban military-style assault weapons, and expressed disappointment about Conservatives' not wanting to do the same. He also claimed that speedy releases of inmates were governed by strict rules and were important to ensure that correctional services were protected from the virus. |

hunter: What is this doom and gloom? Do you really think the world is going to end?
member: So it was written in the Bones of the Exceedingly Slow Tortoise when we took the augurs at the dawn of the year. I'm afraid it's quite true.

Simon: Are you sure?
Edward: Of course. I am not about to go around stealing vicar's wives' shawls. You can probably go to hell for that.

Simon: OK, the main think is, it's safe.
Edward: I must have had a bit more to drink than I thought, last night. Frightfully sorry.
Simon: Happens to all of us. It's not as embarrassing as one time when I was in theological seminary. A friend of mine had his fiancee staying, and she has left her bra on a seat where I had been sitting. It got caught on my trouser button and I walked off with it. Chris looked very suspicious, and I don't think our firendship ever quite recovered, but it was all quite innocent.
Edward: Yes, I feel a lot better after hearing that. I am glad I didn't end up with Hanna's bra on my clothes, just the shawl.
Simon: So am I, Edward, so am I. | Edward took Hannah's shawl by accident last night. |

Janet Finch-Saunders AM: Yes I think I raised it yesterday Kirsty but you were receiving loads of questions I would just ask for some further clarification about coursework because only 30 per cent of that is done Years 11 and 13 typically in my case they are what is been raised with me—do you have any advice for them ?
Kirsty Williams AM: so all exams are cancelled but year 11 and year 13 will be given a grade—I think that is a distinction that people need to be aware of That is because those years and those grades are gateway qualifications and they are points of movement in the education system So it is really important for those students that they are not disadvantaged in any way by not being able to receive a grade that helps them to make a decision as a qualifying step into what they will do next whether that be university whether that be a degree apprenticeship or whether that be going into sixth form into a college into an apprenticeship or into some workbased learning opportunities That is why we have to focus on those children because for them it is absolutely critical that we do We are at an advantage in Wales can I say ? Because of the nature of our examination system those students already have a lot of externally assessed work that we can use as a basis to move forward on Because we have kept our ASlevels we have got that data Because we have a GCSE system— Our year 11s if they are doing triple science they have already done 40 per cent of their paper so we are very fortunate Because of the structures that we have got in our qualification system there is already lots and lots of externallyverified work that we can use alongside potentially teacher evaluation of students as well And I think that is really important We are starting from a better base than simply having none of that externallyverified data What will also be important is that these children have confidence in those qualifications and so we will be looking at a modulated arrangement within Wales and I know that Qualifications Wales are discussing with their counterparts across the UK a modulated system across the UK So actually we can make sure that our standards are maintained by actually having that modulation across the UK So we know that those children never have to worry about the rigour that has gone into determining that grade So they can have real confidence | According to Kirsty, all exams were cancelled, but year 11 and 13 would be given a grade. That was because those years and those grades were gateway qualifications, and they were points of movement in the education system. Therefore, it was really important for those students that they were not disadvantaged in any way by not being able to receive a grade that helps them to make a decision as a qualifying step into what they would do next. Actually, they could make sure that their standards were maintained by actually having that modulation across that UK. So, the children could have real confidence. |

Aston: how he dies then?
Craven: any other changes hey?
Hall: basically you know the mst important change now
Peggy: and you dont need to watch the rest | Hall has seen the new season of the Plebs. Peggy despises the series. Haley, Aston and Craven are more than interested in changes. Peggy spoils the plot. |
