Therefore, the tribute being completed, it is now time for question period, the leader of Her Majesty's Royal Office. Mr. Speaker, this is about trust, and my question is for the Premier. The people of Ontario put their trust in this Government and in this Premier. The Premier put her trust in Pat Sabera, her former Deputy Chief of Staff. This staffer breaks the trust by allegedly bribing Andrew Olivier, promising a Government job in exchange for a political favour that benefited the Ontario Liberal Party. Instead of distancing herself from the accused, the Premier rewards her, entrusting Pat Sabera with leading her next campaign. Mr. Speaker, why does the Premier continue to place her trust in Pat Sabera? Is it because Pat Sabera does exactly what the Premier asked? Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. You know, there has been an investigation, and I know the leader of the Opposition knows that at every stage of the investigation we've cooperated fully, and we will continue to do so. I said in 2015 if any charges were laid as a result of the investigation, then Patricia Sabera would step aside, and this will happen if charges are laid, Mr. Speaker. Thank you. Supplementary. Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Premier. Media are reporting that Pat Sabera, the CEO of the Ontario Liberal Party, will be charged with bribery from her time as the Premier's Deputy Chief of Staff. She is accused of bribing Andrew Olivier to step aside as a contestant in the Sudbury by-election. Mr. Speaker, did the Premier order the current CEO of the Ontario Liberal Party to allegedly bribe Andrew Olivier during the Sudbury by-election, yes or no? I am going to be listening very intently to the questions and the answers. I'm going to say two things. First of all, it's very difficult for me to ask aside to keep quiet if I'm getting responses while the question is being put. I'm asking that we treat this with a sensitivity. I am going to listen carefully. If I get a sense that the member is making an accusation of a betting that is not appropriate, and I will say so, it's dangerously close to that now. I will allow the question to be put, but I'm listening carefully to ensure that that does not happen. Premier. Mr. Speaker, while I will say again, in 2015 I said that if any charges were laid as a result of the investigation, then Patricia Sabera would step aside. If charges are laid, Mr. Speaker, that will happen. And I believe, Mr. Speaker, it to be true that if charges are laid, we all have a collective responsibility to let the matter be handled by a court of law under the presumption of innocence. That's the reality that we're confronting, Mr. Speaker. Thank you. Final supplement. Mr. Speaker, back to the Premier. I'm not getting an answer to this question. Pat Sabera, now the CEO of the Ontario Liberal Party, told Andrew Olivier, quote, you've been directly asked by the leader and the Premier to make a decision to step aside. End quote.  End quote. Pat Sabera has now been charged, according to the media, with bribery. So Mr. Speaker, who ordered the CEO of the Ontario Liberal Party, Pat Sabera, to allegedly offer Andrew Olivier a bribe? I would appreciate an answer to a very straightforward question. Mr. Speaker, there has been an investigation that has occurred outside of this House, as it should, Mr. Speaker. If there are charges laid, this matter will be handled in a court of law, Mr. Speaker. It's our responsibility to, under the presumption of innocence, Mr. Speaker, to allow that matter to be dealt with in a court of law. I said in 2015 that if charges were laid, then Patricia Sabera would step aside. If charges are laid, that will happen. Mr. Speaker. Thank you. New question. Leader of the opposition. Mr. Speaker, question is for the Premier. The Premier has said, she and I quote, had a conversation with Andrew Olivier, end quote, and that the Premier's closest political confidant, Pat Sabera, had a conversation the next day. This isn't about Pat Sabera stepping aside if charged, that should be a given. My question, and I'll be very clear, crystal clear again, Mr. Speaker, who ordered Pat Sabera to allegedly offer Andrew Olivier a bribe? The House deserves an answer. Thank you. Premier. Dr. House Leader. Dr. House Leader. Thank you very much, Mr. Premier. The Premier has been open with the legislature, the media and the public, about the allegations related to the Sudbury by-election. As the Premier said, and she's absolutely right, Speaker, the charges are laid, it will become our share responsibility to allow those charges to be dealt with in the court of law, not in this House. Speaker, we will continue to cooperate with the independent investigation. I also want to confirm, Speaker, that if any charges are laid, the matter will be handled by the Public Prosecution Service of Canada. Thank you. Thank you. Supplementary. Mr. Speaker, back to the Premier. Let me say, it speaks volumes that the Premier refuses to answer these very direct questions. Pat Sabera said to Andrew Olivier that, quote, it's not a question of whether we know you want it. The Premier is asking you to agree to put that aside for now, end quote. Media are reporting that Pat Sabera will be charged with bribery as she tried to get Andrew Olivier to give up his democratic right to run for office. Mr. Speaker, again to the Premier, who- Start the clock, please finish. Mr. Speaker, directly to the Premier, who ordered Pat Sabera to allegedly offer Andrew Olivier a bribe? And if the Premier refuses to answer, that says everything, Mr. Speaker. Speaker, I think it's very clear and Ontarians totally understand that if there are any matters that are dealing with the court, it has to be dealt.  All legal matters must be dealt in the court of law. This legislature is not such place. If any charges are led late, they will be dealt with in the courts by appropriate independent authorities. As I mentioned before, Speaker, and I'll restate that if charges are laid, the prosecution will be conducted by the Public Prosecution Service of Canada, which is independent of the Ministry of the Attorney General. Thank you. Thank you. Final supplementary. Mr. Speaker, back to the Premier. Media are reporting that Jerry Lawheed may also be charged with bribery alongside Pat Sabera, the CEO of the Ontario Liberal Party. During the investigation, it was revealed Mr. Lawheed told Mr. Olivier, quote, I come to you on behalf of the Premier, end quote. Mr. Speaker, who ordered Jerry Lawheed and Pat Sabera to allegedly offer Andrew Olivier a bribe if the Premier did not simply say so, not to answer, not to answer, is hiding information from the House. I want an answer, Mr. Speaker. Thank you. Governor Hussain. Speaker, if charges are laid, the matter will be dealt with in the court of law, in this legislature. That is the appropriate place. I do remind the members that there is rule in our standing orders dealing with subjudice where we are instructed not to engage or intervene in matters that may be before the court. If charges are laid, the matters will be dealt with in the court. That's where it should be, it should be, Speaker, and we should respect that. Thank you. Thank you. New question. The leader of the third party. Thank you very much, Speaker. My question is for the Premier. News broke this morning that the Premier's top aide, Pradishah Sabara, and Sudbury power broker for the Liberal Party, Jerry Lawheed, will be charged later today under the Elections Act by the OPP. Charges stem from the alleged bribery of former Liberal candidate Andrew Olivier during last year's by-election, actually, for the writing of Sudbury. Can the Premier confirm, in light of these pending charges, that she will ask Ms. Sorbara to step down as her campaign chair until all charges have been dealt with in their entirety? Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, and I have, I believe, done that a number of times already in the House today. I said that in 2015, I said in 2015 that if any charges were laid as a result of the investigation that has been ongoing, then Patricia Sabara, of course, would step aside, and this will happen if charges are laid, Mr. Speaker. Right. Supplementary. Speaker, the people of Ontario should be able to trust their government. Today, Ms. Sorbara will be facing charges that allege she used her position in the Premier's office to offer a bribe to a candidate to induce him not to run for office. Will the Premier confirm that Ms. Sorbara will pay no role in either the Premier's government or her election campaign until all charges have been completely dealt with? So I will say again, Mr. Speaker, at every stage we have cooperated fully with the investigation that was ongoing. We'll continue to do so. Mr. Speaker, if any charges are laid, then Patricia Sorbara will step aside, as I said would happen in 2015. Right. Thank you. Final supplementary. Well, Speaker, I really haven't got quite the specific response I'm looking for in terms of whether or not Ms. Sorbara will be asked to step aside completely from her role, any role whatsoever in the government or the election campaign. That was the question. The Premier is not answering it. It's been clear for some time that something happened in the Sudbury by-election speaker that may very well have broken the law. The Premier chose to deal with that not by asking the people at the time that were involved to step aside until the issue was resolved, but instead by promoting the people involved to run not just a by-election, but most recently an entire provincial election campaign. Will the Premier admit today that it's not just about protecting but promoting Pat Sabara that was the wrong thing to do, Speaker, not just protecting her and that the people of Ontario deserve better leadership and better accountability than what this Premier has offered? Thank you. Thank you. Mr. Speaker, as the Attorney General has said, if there are charges laid, there will be a court process, this matter will be dealt with in the court. I have answered many, many questions on this issue, on the substance of this issue, both in the legislature and in the public realm. There has been an investigation. We have cooperated with that investigation. I said in 2015 if there were charges laid, then Pat Sabara would step aside from her roles and if there are charges laid, that's what will happen. Thank you. New question. The Leader of the Third Party. Thank you, Speaker. My next question is also for the Premier. Did the Premier ask Ms. Sabara or Mr. Lahi to offer Andrew Olivier an alleged bribe to step aside to allow the Premier's candidate, her preferred candidate in the Sudbury by-election, an uncontested nomination? I want to comment, but I want to just say that to both the questions from the Leader of the Opposition and the questions from the Leader of the Third Party, I have answered many, many questions. I am on the record. You can look at the responses that I have given both in this legislature and in the public realm, in the outside of the House, Mr. Speaker. I have been very clear about those answers and at this point, Mr. Speaker, I said in 2015 if there were charges laid, then Patricia Sabara would step aside from her roles. That will happen if there are charges laid, Mr. Speaker. And if there are charges laid, then there will be a court process that we all have a responsibility to let unfold, Mr. Speaker. I am going to offer the Leader of the Third Party the same advice I offered the Leader of the Opposition. Be very delicate and be very careful of not going over the line of making an assumption, please. The last one was close. I will ask you not to do that, please. Carry on. Speaker, I don't think anybody believes that Mr. Blahid and Mr. Barra offered the alleged bribe to Andrew Olivier on their own. So can the Premier tell us if it was not heard directly, who in her office or... I think... I'm sorry. I'm going to ask the member to listen carefully. Even if you say it wasn't her, that implies that it was. So I'm going to ask the member to be very delicate about how she puts the question. Finish, please. This is a matter of public interest, and I have the right to ask the... I would ask the member to simply, in my request, it was to be cautious of how she put the question to ensure that it was parliamentary. That's all I'm asking. If the member chooses to continue to challenge that, I'll have to deal with it. I'm asking the member to be cautious of what she puts as a question in this House. There are rules that you need to follow. You were close. I mentioned it. Now I'm asking the member to put the question in a way that is parliamentary. Carefully. Thank you, Speaker. There are laws that should be followed in this province as well, I have to say. The question simply is, who is the person that pulled the trigger when it came to asking for this alleged bribe to take place? Speaker. Any general? Thank you very much, Speaker. Again, the Premier has been very open and transparent to this legislature, to the media and to the public about the allegations that are related to the Sudbury by-election, Speaker. Whether or not, Speaker, law is broken. That is exactly what our courts are for. They're the one, judges the person who makes that determination based on the evidence that's presented to them. Not this legislature, Speaker. That's why, Speaker, I think we should respect the sheer responsibility that we all have in terms of respecting the presumptions of innocent and ensuring that a court should be able to do to their job and will be highly inappropriate, Speaker, for these type of questions being asked in this house. Thank you. Thank you. Final supplementary. Speaker, now that charges are going to be laid today, the Premier has a chance to do the right thing and make clear the Premier's role if there was one and the role that anyone else in her office may have played in Sudbury in December of 2014. Will she do that? Thank you. Speaker, I think the Premier has been very clear the steps she plans to take if charges are laid. And I think that stands on the record and she's been clear going back to 2015. As I stated earlier, I think it's important that we pursue this line of questioning, Speaker, because this matter may be if charges are laid before the Court of Law. Speaker, I will restate again that if charges are laid, the matter will be dealt independently from the Ministry of the Attorney General through the Public Prosecution Service of Canada. Thank you. Thank you. No questions. The member from the lead's family. My question is to the Premier. Speaker, I warn the Premier that if charges are laid with Pat Sorbera, she'd fall with her. Not only did this Premier stand with her, she doubled down by arrogantly putting her in charge of the Liberal re-election campaign while under OPP investigation. That's an appalling lack of judgment even for this arrogant and out-of-touch government. Now we have a face having the Premier drag further into this mess while the legal proceedings are being held. I'm going to ask the former Deputy Chief of Staff and handpick re-election chair drag on. Speaker, will the Premier look beyond her own self-interest and preserve the integrity of the office she was sworn to uphold by stepping aside until these legal matters are dealt with? Thank you. Chief Governor Wib, second time. Premier. I have been very clear in all of my answers earlier on the substance of this matter, Mr. Speaker. I've been very clear in the cooperation that we have undertaken with the investigation. I was very clear in 2015 that if there were charges laid, that Patricia Sorbera would step aside and if charges are laid, that is what will happen. At that point, Mr. Speaker, under the courts and under the presumption of innocence, I think it is all of our responsibility to let that court process unfold. Back to the Premier. That's not acceptable, Speaker. The Premier may have escaped charges herself, but her hands aren't clean. Far from it. These pending legal proceedings cast a dark shadow over her office and this entire case. Again, first of all, let me make it this clear. This line of questioning is appropriate in this house. How it's done is what we're talking about. So I don't want anyone to say this is not appropriate to ask. I want to make sure that the opposition has their opportunity to say so. I'm asking that you consider clearly the type of discussion that we're talking about. I don't want that to be done. You can do the question in the manner that is parliamentary. Please continue. Speaker, this isn't a dispute over policies or political philosophy. These unprecedented charges under the Elections Act reach right into the heart of the Premier's office and our democratic system. I want to make it clear. If she stands with them, she will fall with them. Will the Premier accept responsibility, admit she was wrong, and step aside until the legal system deals with Patrick? Thank you. Premier. Attorney General. Speaker, and again, if charges are laid, the matter will be dealt by the Court of Justice. The Premier is focused on the job that the people of Ontario gave her. The Premier is focused on building Ontario up. Premier is focused on building schools in our communities across this province. The Premier is focused on building hospitals across this province. Premier is focused on creating jobs for Ontario and working day and night every single day. We support her and will continue to work with her in that endeavour. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Thank you. New question. Thank you, Speaker. Yesterday, the Minister for Tourism, Culture and Sport angrily denied that there were any plans to sell off Ontario place. There's a clause that clearly allows for the sell-off of Ontario place. The Minister even admitted to the media, and I quote, it's there. I don't know why it's there. It's there. Yes, Speaker, it's there. Why is it there? Thank you, Premier. Minister of Tourism, Culture and Sport. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, and I appreciate this opportunity for his question, Speaker. We recognise on this side of the House that Toronto's waterfront should be for everyone to enjoy, and that's why I can state clearly that Ontario place will remain in public hands and is not for sale. We are moving forward. We are moving forward, Speaker, with a plan to revitalise Ontario place into a vibrant waterfront destination that engages Ontarians, young and old, and I'll make it clear again, developments like condos and casinos are not part of that plan. I look forward to more in the supplementary, but I'll just say this, Speaker, that these amendments to the legislation are going to make that revitalisation process easier and more effective, and on this side of the House, we understand the opportunity to give businesses the tools that they need to have this opportunity. My mind. Speaker, the existing law already allows Ontario place to offer all the services, all the public benefits that the minister has talked about, but one thing the existing law doesn't allow is the sell-off of Ontario place. The Premier insisted over and over that she wouldn't sell off Michael 1, and then she did.  Why should anyone trust the Premier when she says she's not going to sell off Ontario place? Thank you, Mr. Speaker. You know, Speaker, I always appreciate the member from Hamilton East Tony Creek come to order, the member from Renfrew and Episcene Pembroke come to order. I always appreciate the opportunity to rise in this House and clarify statements by those members on the other side of the house, and this is a crystal clear opportunity. So let me make it perfectly clear and case the member opposite missed it the first time, Speaker. Ontario place is not for sale, but I will tell you this. We are enormously excited about the opportunities inherent in revitalizing Ontario place. That is why in 2014, our Premier made it abundantly clear that it's going to remain that way, and I'm proud of that, Mr. Speaker, because it's going to see Ontario place vital and open and accessible to all Ontarians, and that is the work that we are doing on this. New question? Member from Berry. Mr. Speaker, my question is to the Minister of the Environment and Climate Change. Our government is moving forward with a plan to combat climate change and help make Ontario an economic leader in the transitioning to a low carbon economy. Through the climate change action plan, we will be transparently investing proceeds back into programs and initiatives that will reduce greenhouse gas emissions and assist households and businesses. The CCAP creates a foundation on which Ontario will develop the policies needed to provide services to families and businesses on ways to become more energy efficient and help fight climate change. We're taking action now to kickstart climate change actions by supporting initiatives such as energy retrofits and improving energy efficiency in social housing developments. Can the Minister please inform the House of the details of that announcement? Thank you, Minister of the Environment. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I also want to give a shout out from Barry because Barry in London, Ontario are the two cities in our province pioneering net zero homes where you can actually buy a net zero home. But, you know, Mr. Speaker, for the rest of Ontario, the Premier and I and the Minister of Energy were out in the MPP for Davenport riding, visiting a home that's already benefitting from a hundred million dollar investment we made with our energy partners that have reduced the cost of their home by 42%. Mr. Speaker, 42% reduction in their home heating and energy costs that is unprecedented, Mr. Speaker. And over the next decade, we will over the next five years actually, we'll invest eight billion dollars in reducing energy costs and transportation costs and fighting a minister. As a matter of fact, Mr. Speaker, this single action reduces GHGs in Ontario by 1.6 million Thank you. Thank you to the Minister for the answer. It's clear from announcements like the Home Energy Audits that Ontario will be well positioned to meet the challenge of reducing greenhouse gas emissions. In early October, the federal government announced their carbon pricing framework. We were pleased that the framework allows provinces to choose cap and trade. Mr. Speaker, recently the leader of the opposition wrote to the federal government on carbon pricing. I know that the leader of the opposition was a big part of the Stephen Harper's government that did everything it could to obstruct meaningful discussions and actions in combating climate change. Could the Minister please inform the House why our government's policy is better than the one being suggested by the leader of the opposition? Thank you, Minister. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. First off, a cap and trade system drives out the lowest, most cost effective reductions on its own. It's extraordinarily effective and, Mr. Speaker, we're not alone in this position. By March of next year 60% of the world's economy will be covered by a cap and trade system. 60% Mr. Speaker, and we're locked into a system that actually reduces emissions and promotes trade, Mr. Speaker. But the leader of the opposition's system of a revenue neutral carbon tax would mean that the price would have to be well over $50 four or five times what ours are and would raise energy costs dramatically, Mr. Speaker, and it also misses that. The program that the Premier and I and the MPP for Davenport and the Minister of Energy announced the other day would be abysserated because he wouldn't have the $1 billion. He would leave Ontario businesses, homeowners, our senior citizens and families bereft of the resources to buy the electric vehicle. Thank you. Thank you. New question. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is to the Premier. The Premier can try to stand here this morning and claim she didn't know anything about what her deputy chief of staff and local operative in Sudbury were up to, but nobody's buying it. On something this important she had to know. In fact she boasted in a Toronto Star article in September that nothing happens in her office without her knowledge. The Premier told the star and I quote when there's a major change in our office or when there's a policy decision I know about that decision and I authorize it or not. I know and I authorize her words. So, Speaker, when did the Premier know about and when did she authorize the offer made to Andrew Olivia? Again that was extremely close and because it making an accusation to an individual member under the circumstances I've described previously I will tell the member that if that comes close to being done again I will pass the question and provide the Premier with an option not to answer. I'm asking for your cooperation on how you put the question and I would ask the member from Lanark to pay attention while I'm speaking. Premier. Thank you very much, Speaker The Premier has been very open to the public, to this legislature and to the media on the allegations as they relate to Sudbury by elections. The Premier is not going to answer questions that should be dealt with in a court of law. This is not that such place. That's why there's a rule that exists in this legislature that deals with when there are matters that may be written or before courts that they not be dealt with in the legislature. So the member opposite can spend as much of his time asking as many questions as possible. The Premier will remain focused on her job and that is to build Ontario up and that is to make sure that everyday lives of Ontarians is getting better and better every single day. Thank you very much. Back to the Premier. There's no running from this for the Premier. This unprecedented scandal is basically connected to the Premier's office. Right now, Speaker, there are two by-elections underway in Ontario with the scandalous actions in Sudbury the subject of new charges today voters in Ottawa Vanier and Niagara West Land Book naturally have concerns. They see a Premier who defended someone under investigation for election act preaches out campaigning for votes. In fact, the Premier attempted to interfere in the investigation by suggesting at a February 7th that we don't expect that to happen regarding charges against Pat Cervera. Reports now say that she will be charged. Speaker, with these election act charges linked to her, does the Premier think it's appropriate for her to be involved in all of these campaigns? Well, Speaker, now the true nature of these questions come through. They're all totally partisan nature because they're all talking about the by-elections. The Premier is the Premier of the province. She will continue to the job that has been given to them. And the good people of Niagara West Glenbrook and Ottawa Vanier are going to make a decision based on the quality of candidates that is before them based on the record of this government that is to invest in our schools in our hospitals to make sure that we're investing in public structure, be it GoTrain to Niagara Speaker or the building of the LRT in Ottawa. These are the issues that go on those writings are talking about and that is why they're going to support the Liberal candidates on those writing speakers. Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. My question is to the Premier. Mr. Speaker, yesterday I was Member? Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Yesterday I was disappointed to see that neither the Premier nor the Minister appreciate the true severity and seriousness of the circumstances surrounding Mr. Adam Capay. Mr. Capay is a 23-year-old man who has been detained in solitary confinement for four years in a jail in Thunder Bay with 24-hour-a-day artificial light. A growing number of experts have referred to these conditions as meeting the definition of torture. This is extremely serious. But the Minister made it clear that the circumstance that Mr. Capay was specific to Mr. Capay and unique to his cell and his circumstances. Was it also abundantly clear in the 25 reports that the Minister received about Mr. Capay that those conditions were unique to him and if so, why didn't the Government Act to change this? Thank you very much Mr. Speaker and I know the Minister will want to comment but I just want to respond to the member to say I have been very clear that this is a serious situation. I've been very clear that the status quo is not acceptable Mr. Speaker and that what happened in the situation with Adam Capay is unacceptable. But Mr. Speaker, we have to understand what the circumstances are which is why the Minister has announced that we will be doing a review that the whole issue of segregation is like that Mr. Speaker we've already changed some of the rules in terms of the weekly review and the amount of time Mr. Speaker but there needs to be a full review it's a very serious issue Mr. Speaker there is no one in this side of the House who would argue otherwise. Mr. Speaker, what's also troubling is the previous Minister must have also received reports about this circumstance and he did nothing about it Mr. Capay like far too many people in our jails the problem, the increasing problem is that he was not tried or convicted of anything it's clear that there is a crisis in our courts, in our community in our court system in our correctional service system in our community release and our bail program everyone can see it it's obvious it's something that everyone knows about we don't need another review we need action now we need the government to do something now what is this government going to do to ensure that Mr. Capay receives justice and that there are no other Adam Capay in any of our jails in this province Mr. Community Safety and Correctional Services Thank you very much Speaker and I appreciate the question for the member opposite this is a serious issue as the member pointed out and we take this issue very seriously and after becoming aware of this particular issue I requested that ministry officials inform me of any circumstances across the province in any of our institutions where there were these types of similarities with respect to lighting or any other conditions under which an individual is being held in segregation Mr. Capay is in a different cell with very different conditions today we've taken action on that and we are obviously seized with this issue and the reliance the over reliance frankly of segregation in our system it is a systematic challenge and we are working to resolve that we've also indicated that we are committed to a full independent third party review of our current system so that we can make the investments that we all want to see in our system Thank you Question Well thank you Speaker my question to the minister of government and consumer services this morning I attended an all party co-op caucus with the co-op or the movement in Ontario as many of you know co-ops operate across the province and engage in a variety of activities from housing to credit unions to childcare and a great deal more speaker from the Aaron theater and empire cheats and trend hills to sunshine, heights day care and poor hope to be sure credit union in 20 West co-opers play an important role in everyday lives of those people in the West and indeed across the province Mr Speaker can the minister inform this House about the important and innovative role the co-ops play in the lives of citizens of Ontario Thank you Thank you Mr Speaker I want to say thank to the member from Northumberland and also several other members of this legislature who attended the all party co-op caucus this morning and also would like to thank the other co-chairs the member from Oxford and the member from Windsor tecum for their involvement co-op plays a vital role across the province especially in many small and remote communities one example of a community that has benefitted from co-op is Moonby and Norton Ontario the owner of the local grocery store was getting older and thinking about retiring and he could not run the store anymore so he started his grocery store and instead of closing Mr Speaker the community stepped up and created a co-op and this co-op now runs the grocery store and provides a vital service to Moonby Mr Speaker co-ops are integral to communities like Moonby and to our province as a whole Good Thank you Mr Speaker and I would like to thank the minister for her answer and for her continued work on this matter co-ops are incredibly important to communities across the province and have a special place in northern and rural areas the all-party co-op breakfast showcased the wide range of co-ops from small businesses in Moonby to large co-ops like Ailey Foods and mountain equipment co-op the co-op caucus took note of the tremendous social benefits co-operative corporation bring to their communities Mr Speaker can the minister inform the house of her mandate commitment to co-operatives across Ontario Thank you Mr Speaker Thank you Mr Speaker and thank you very much for the members interest in this movement The mandate letter I received as minister of government and consumer services underscores our governments commitment to the co-operative sector in Ontario in 2017 I will modernize co-operative corporation registration to help and help ensure that co-ops can grow and thrive in communities across the province I look forward to many more co-op caucus meetings and working with my co-chairs to fulfill my mandate commitment furthermore I would like to offer my most sincere congratulations to Miss Lucy Moncion head of a credit union in Ontario she is a new senator and is becoming our new federal partner for co-operatives My question is for the Premier the Associate Chief Justice Douglas Cunningham of Ontario Superior Court has written that and I quote appointments to government offices are not to be traded for political favor we went on to say they are appointments that must be made in a transparent and transparent manner the CEO of the Ontario Liberal party is about to be charged for trying to trade a job for political favors so I asked the Premier when did the Premier know that Pat Sabara would be offering Andrew Olivier a job exchange for stepping aside in the Sudbury Violet Attorney General the opposition the answer is not going to change if charges are laid these are the type of matters that should be dealt in the court of law not in this legislature I urge the members again to focus on issues that are important to Ontarians focus on issues that shows that their lives get better every single day the Premier is working on that is to create jobs for Ontarians we as a province are growing unemployment rates in the country we are making sure that we have a robust climate change action plan these are the kind of things that are important to Ontarians and the Premier and the government will remain focused on them thank you Premier I don't think it's doing you any good to hide behind your house leader people of Ontario want to hear from you the allegation is that you told Pat Sabara to allegedly bribe Mr. Oliveira Olivier I'm going to ask the member to withdraw and restate his question Mr. Speaker I would ask and then try to re-ask the question thank you well I'll simply ask Mr. Speaker through you who ordered Pat Sabara to allegedly bribe Andrew Olivier and the Sudbury was it you Premier? two things the Chief Government whip is now warned and the second thing is I'm going to ask the member to withdraw withdraw Attorney General I'm speaking in this house as the Attorney General of the province as the Chief Law Crown Officer Attorney General of the province Speaker to advise all members that it is our shared responsibility to not engage in matters that may be before the course Speaker, course and independent bodies and we should respect their authority to engage in these matters and to ask the kind of questions that the opposition is asking this is not the place to do and that's why Speaker we have a subjudice rule in our standing orders exactly to join us and advise us not to engage in the Premier has been open to the public to the legislature and she will remain transparent but she won't discuss things that may be before the course new question the leader of the third party thank you Speaker my question is to the Premier last week her health minister said that Ontario's long-term care homes have the most robust oversight and accountability measures in the world but this week an Ottawa family is asking how their 89 year old mother who lives in a for-profit long-term care home could end up with a maggot infestation in her leg wound the family was horrified Speaker and I think everyone who hears of this story is going to be horrified Ottawa police are now investigating the for-profit nursing home where she lived and it begs the question Ontario has the best oversight of long-term care in the world how could this happen to any resident in any one of our long-term care homes Minister of health and long-term care Minister of health and long-term care well Mr. Speaker I too was horrified and disgusted when I learned of this incident in an Ottawa nursing home Mr. Speaker we have a zero tolerance abuse for neglect and Mr. Speaker immediately upon my ministry receiving a critical incident report my ministry took immediate action we have investigated the situation in this long-term care home we will be issuing a public report that report will be out in the coming days Mr. Speaker and it is absolutely unacceptable that a resident of a long-term care home experienced this poor level of care when my ministry was informed of the situation as I mentioned Mr. Speaker last month we immediately ordered a critical incident investigation we have worked with the home to establish a plan I will continue with supplementary Speaker last week the health minister said there is zero tolerance for abuse or neglect of long-term care residents he said it again Mr. Speaker and that is exactly the right standard to have so when an 89-year-old woman is sent to hospital with a maggot infested leg wound it raises serious questions that need to be answered the ministry of health says that they have already inspected the home and developed a quote voluntary plan of correction but a voluntary plan will not fix the ongoing significant problems in our long-term care system in this province I asked the premier the same question last week I'm going to ask her again today when will she launch a full review or inquiry into the oversight and staffing levels of our nursing homes in this province Mr. Speaker as I was saying immediately when we were informed of this incident we launched an investigation we performed an inspection in the nursing home in question in Ottawa and out of this investigation we are working with the home to establish a plan of correction we've established a plan of correction that strictly lays out our expectation for resident wound care Mr. Speaker we're taking this extremely seriously as we do all of our critical incidents and as with all of our investigation the 100% of long-term care homes that we do oversee that we inspect annually as with all of our investigations the investigation report will be publicly posted within the next month Mr. Speaker the safety and well-being of our seniors is my highest priority and I work every day to ensure that that oversight is as robust as it possibly can be we're taking this incident very seriously Mr. Speaker Thank you Mr. Speaker a member from Davenport Thank you Mr. Speaker and my question this morning is for the Associate Minister of Education for early years and childcare Mr. Speaker Ontario communities continue to grow including my riding of Davenport and many young families are today calling Davenport home which means the demand for affordable, accessible, flexible and quality childcare continues to grow as a mother of two young children and it is to have safe quality childcare as well and I've had the opportunity to speak with many of my constituents who are young parents and soon to be parents who say it can be challenging to find licensed childcare spaces so Mr. Speaker through you to the Minister how is the government helping Ontario families with their childcare needs Thank you Associate Minister of Education responsible for early years and Mr. Speaker I want to thank the hardworking member from Davenport for the question I know she's a strong advocate for affordable childcare in her riding Mr. Speaker our children deserve to get the best start in life and our government recognizes that access to high quality affordable licensed childcare is extremely important that's why we committed $120 million in the 2015 budget to create more than new licensed childcare spaces in Ontario Mr. Speaker we want to give families the support they need in fact just recently I was pleased to announce over $30 million to build 48 new childcare rooms that will result in 821 new licensed childcare spaces across the province this is wonderful news Mr. Speaker and it sends a clear message of our commitment ahead of schedule to ensuring that families and our government gets results So thank you Mr. Speaker and thank you to the minister for that answer and thank her as well for the great work she is doing to ensuring that our youngest and brightest do have a bright future here in Ontario and I'm glad to know that our government has been working hard to create more spaces in Ontario we know that investments in high quality affordable childcare have many positive effects on our province as a whole by investing in childcare we can help Ontario families while also reducing poverty and the gender wage gap Mr. Speaker I'm proud of this government's past investments in childcare and its strong future commitment to creating even more spaces so Mr. Speaker I'm going to strengthen Ontario's childcare system in the long term in the long term Thank you Mr. Speaker I'm pleased to answer the member's question and I want you to know that I've had several conversations with the member about childcare in her riding she is really a strong advocate for her riding Mr. Speaker I'm proud of the achievements we've made to strengthen the early years and childcare system but we know there's more work to be done in early years in childcare system that is high quality, seamless and meets the needs of parents and children starting in 2017 Mr. Speaker Ontario will help to create an additional 100,000 new licensed childcare spaces over 5 years for infants, toddlers and preschoolers Mr. Speaker this is an historic investment and it is one that will completely transform the way childcare is delivered in this province Mr. Speaker we will double the current capacity for 0-4 year olds in licensed childcare and it will help people in their everyday lives by promoting early learning and development while helping more parents find the care they so urgently need Thank you Thank you Mr. Speaker my question is for the Premier and the Premier alone on February 27, 2015 Hatsabara was quote she does not believe to be true she said opposition members are quote unfair to individuals and to their families no matter who they are or what party they may belong to. Toronto Star is now reporting that Hatsabara will be charged today Mr. Speaker were the opposition questions about the actions of her staff still unfair and does the Premier still believe the allegations are untrue? Thank you Mr. Speaker the matters are allegations and just that until they are proven in the court of law the legislature is not that court of law so I just advise the members again to respect the rule that exists in standing orders and any matters if charges are led be handled in our court system the Premier has been transparent and open to Ontarians and to this legislature on this issue Speaker and Premier remain focused on job that is the most important to her that is to build Ontario up Speaker and we support her in that endeavour Thank you Speaker these questions directly relate to the Premier staff and her office and she has an obligation to answer those questions Back to the Premier on that same day the Premier said quote Pat Sobera particularly is a seasoned professional and a woman of integrity reports say that Pat Sobera will be charged today for bribery bribery and integrity don't normally go hand in hand Mr. Speaker does the Premier stand by the integrity of her staff member that is being charged with bribery today Well Speaker again I think the Premier has made it very clear the steps of the actions she will take if charges are laid and we have been very clear Speaker that if they are laid that matter should be handled and will be handled in the court of law and it is our sheer responsibility Speaker under the standing orders to respect that Mr. Chairman and new services will continue to cooperate with that independent investigation and as I mentioned Speaker in the beginning of the question period and I will restate again that if they are charges laid the matter will be handled independently by the public prosecution service of Canada Speaker on this side of the House on the government side we remain focused on our job and that is to build on Terence Speaker we will continue to invest in our schools in our hospitals and to create jobs for hardworking on Terence Speaker my question is for the Minister of Correctional Services I have been asking this government to take second time for the Minister of Children and Youth Services please put your question I have been asking this government to take action on the problems faced by Elgin Middlesex Attention Centre for years now from overcrowding to lack of support for correctional officers this government has remained silent and now one man is dead and another is in critical condition due to a drug overdose unfortunately the problems at EMDC are not isolated incidents there have been multiple overdose deaths in several institutions most recently five overdoses in Hamilton Minister what does it take for this government to keep drugs from entering and killing inmates in our provincial jails thank you thank you thank the member opposite for the question what I can say to the member is we are the first jurisdiction in this country that is putting full body scanners in our 26 institutions in Hamilton one is already operational the member is referring to overdoses there in London there is not one operational yet but there will be one and what I can say is that there were two inmates one individual passed away at the hospital the ministry takes any death in custody very seriously and it's being investigated by the office of the chief coroner as well as the police we are continuing to make those important investments in fact at the Elgin Middle Sex Detention Center there are 72 additional staff since 2013 mental health nurses and seven full time nurses have been hired 24 hour nursing coverage is in place speaker and it is helping to improve circumstances at this particular location supplementary speaker since 2007 there have been eight deaths at the Elgin Middle Sex Detention Center located in London and yet there is a continued failure on behalf of this government to implement the recommendation of the coroner's juries previously convened to review past deaths my question when is the government planning on implementing the past recommendations that have been issued by the coroner's juries recommendations that may have saved lives of Jamie High and prevented this latest tragedy thank you we are acting to do everything we can to ensure we reduce any type of contraband entering our jails there are instances obviously in the member highlights where that is happening but we are also the first jurisdiction in this country speaker to put full body scanners into our institutions we have invested in the regional intermittent center in London in the members area $9.3 million 112 beds I was there recently for the opening speaker that helps to significantly reduce contraband with individuals who are serving sentences on the weekend we are doing everything we can to make the investments in this area and reduce those types of incidents thank you new question the member from Durham thank you speaker my question is for the minister of natural resources and forestry with our government's investment of $160 billion over the next 12 years we are going to require the proper resources to help build Ontario up several of these materials come from aggregate pits such as the one in my riding of Durham while I know that building Ontario up is important it is also important to recognize the need for consultation with the public especially when it comes to aggregates minister can you tell us what steps the province is taking to balance the use of aggregates to build critical infrastructure in Ontario while ensuring the proper consultation has occurred thank you minister that's resources and forestry thank you speaker and I'd like to thank the member from Durham for his question aggregate resources are vital to our province's economy and are used to build our roads, hospitals, schools and playgrounds that's why my government is proud to have introduced bill 39 the aggregate resources and mining modernization act if passed this bill would create a modern regulatory framework that will help companies and communities to use this important resource and vital infrastructure projects on this side of the house we recognize the importance of listening to the people of Ontario and that's why if passed this bill would improve information on aggregate operations and enhance public participation by creating clear processes to change existing approvals for a pit or quarry and allow for customized consultation plans on unique applications we've consulted with the people of Ontario and including provision so it will tackle the challenges identified in this proposed legislation thank you to the minister for our answer it is comforting to know that our government is not only committed to ensuring people in Ontario have access to the infrastructure they deserve but also that they are consulted during every step of the process however there are other concerns about the operation of aggregate pits that I was hoping the minister could address I often hear concerns about environmental protection and accountability when discussing aggregate pits with my constituents especially regarding these so-called mega quarries I am curious if passed how the bill will affect the need for aggregate pits and the need to protect our environment especially in my writing of Durham can the minister tell me what the government is doing to ensure that there is environmental accountability when operating an aggregate pit thank you speaker I'd like to thank the member for his question and he knows as I do that the 407 east extension in his writing is going to need an awful lot of aggregate to build so as minister of MNRF I've also been hearing about the concerns about the environmental impact on aggregate pits one of the biggest concerns and the incident which sparked our review is a mega quarry that the member mentioned so if passed bill 39 will create the flexibility for our ministry to create customized consultation requirements for the applications that don't fit the standard size of our requirements this will allow us to put in place procedures to properly assess the impacts to groundwater sources when making decisions for new licenses would also require existing sites to provide information related to the operation of a pit or quarry at the request of the ministry so speaker the proposed legislation shows our government's dedicated to protecting our farmland groundwater and our environment thank you your question the member from Leeds Turnbull my question is to the premier a speaker the premier has dodged questions this morning by hiding behind her house leader the premier's house leader says she's on important things well I think bribery charges against the premier's former deputy chief of staff and handpicked liberal CEO is pretty important and I feel very confident in saying that the citizens feel the same way speaker does the premier agree these unprecedented charges are important and if she'll so will she finally come clean and tell us her role in these bribery allegations let me just go back to what I said at the beginning of question period this is a very important issue Mr. Speaker there has been an investigation that has been ongoing we have we have cooperated with that investigation we will continue to do so Mr. Speaker I have answered questions in this legislature I've made statements outside of the legislature Mr. Speaker on the substance of this issue I said in 2015 that if charges were laid Mr. Speaker that Pat Cerbera would step down if charges are laid that is exactly what will happen Mr. Speaker and I've been very clear about that Mr. Speaker my focus has to be primarily on the job that I was elected to do this never never too late to receive a warning or be named I'm serving the people of Ontario Mr. Speaker I am focused on that and I remain convinced Mr. Speaker that building this province whether it's an infrastructure or education or out there that that is the most important focus

Good afternoon, folks. This is Steve Rhodes, coming to you live from the shores of mostly sunny Delray Beach, Florida. This year, 1 p.m. Update. And currently we have all the U.S. Indices trading to the downside. Dow's off about 87 points, a quarter of a cent, nearly a half a percent for the S&P or 17 points. NASDAQ 175 points, six tenths there. The Russell's off seven tenths or 13. Semi-Zone eight tenths or 22 points out there, nine tenths. How about that we go? Basically almost four, five, six, seven, eight, nine tenths for the trannies. They're down 124 points. Gold's up two bucks, silver up a penny. Lights be crewed up a buck, 86 trading out at 104.59. Natural gas's off 18 cents, 6.11 is the print there in the 30-year treasury. South one point and 17 ticks, 136.28 is the print. Let's go spend a little bit of time. Take a look at our nine panel market update chart. We begin with the ES mini upper left-hand corner. You can see that price is above the top of its daily profile, 38.41. When you're above resistance, top of a profile is resistance, bullish. Price is getting back inside or trying to get back inside its weekly profile. That number is 38.88 basically. We're trading at 38.86 right now. So watch, see if we close above that this week. If you close back above it, that's an indication that price is going to try to make an attempt for the 41.21 level. As long as that spot ball tunics remains below its 50-day X-minutes moving average, that's going to lead to a sideways to higher market for the S&P 500. If we take a look at the NQ, she's made its way all the way up to prior resistance. Prior resistance here is the bottom of the daily profile. That's at the 12.197 level. This is a profile that I generate using my synthetic version of the contract out there. It allows me to grab. It's better. It's different than the continuous contract. It allows me really to provide you with more accurate profile information in the bigger picture here. So right now, the key level of resistance for the NQ is going to be that 12.197 level. US dollar index is going to form a TD9 count top today. That says we should see a top in the US dollar between today and Monday. Gold has formed a TD9 count bottom in as long as price remains above the low of that pattern. So price has to close above 17.3070 to maintain that signal. Silver's also got a nine count out there. And it's got a new profile. That new profile should take price up to the 1977 level. Lights we've crewed formed a Gartley buy pattern. It's likely going to go target the 106.47 area. Natural gas traded above the top of its daily profile. That's up at the 607 level. Folks, stay tuned for the Trader Zed show. But if you want to start to fight and have a fantastic one, thanks much for joining us. And we'll see you on Friday. Have a great weekend. Stay tuned for the Trader Zed show.


Dropout regularization is an effective technique for improving the robustness of deep learning models against adversarial attacks. It also leads to increased functional smearing among neurons in the network, which further enhances its resilience to adversarial attacks. The optimal level of functional smearing depends on the dropout rate, with higher dropout rates resulting in more smearing and thus better protection against adversarial attacks.

Hello all in this video I am going to demonstrate one of the very good paraphrasing tool which I have come across in the recent times that is Quillbot to use this Quillbot. You can type Quillbot in Google and it will automatically lead to this Quillbot.com you need to log in to use this Quillbot and this Quillbot provides some other features also but the focus here is the paraphraser. Suppose if you are copying this sentence and pasting it here if you click on paraphrase it will automatically give a paraphrased sentence but sometimes these ramifications instead of consequences may not be great so you can manually replace it but this basic structural change helps us in paraphrasing especially when people are having limited language proficiency and this mode is called a standard mode. You can use fluency mode and other modes only possible with the premium version. We will go to this premium version towards the end and we will see about it. You can also do a grammar check similar to the Grammarly. I personally have not used this grammar check so I cannot comment on it as long as Grammarly basic version is free. We can go with Grammarly only after making this sentence you want to check for plagiarism you can check through this plagiarism mode for plagiarism you need to upgrade to premium version and you have a co-writer where you can have some writing assistance tools for you. If you write a new project here suppose I am typing here then automatically you will get this assistance such as paraphrasing assistance summarizing assistance such as text will be here so if you have a block in the flow of content then you can do these things then we have a citation generator which is also a good tool. So if we click on the citation generator suppose if I am copying this link pasting in the URL link here if I want to cite this automatically this citation will appear it will ask whether this is the same article if I click on this automatically this full citation will appear since I have kept it APA APA style is there if you want to change other styles we can change it to other styles so the basic versions will be available here and I can just copy this reference list or also I can export this in Word version Biplex version and CSL edition also so this also will be a good tool along with your paraphrasing grammar checking plagiarism checking co-writer and also we can have translator I would advise you to use Google translate instead of this Guilbert but if you are using comprehensively all these tools with the premium version of Guilbert you will have unlimited words in the paraphraser and unlimited custom and 7 predefined modes full use of synonym sliders and unlimited freeze words 6000 words in summarizer and other faster speed recommended re-rates you can compare between modes and you can have plagiarism checker also which is limited to 20 pages per month and tone insights and paraphrase history can be accessed if you find copying the content from the web page pasting it again pasting it here suppose if you are copying this content and pasting it here clicking on paraphrasing instead of switching over between tabs what you can do is you can just straightly copy this content which you want right click on it then there will be one option called a squill this squill will appear only when you have this Google Chrome extension installed if you have this extension for your web browser then this will appear then if you click on this squill automatically by default this will show this paraphrased sentence then directly you can click on this full text copy full text it will be copied you can go to your word document and you can paste so that way this Google extension helps us without switching over between tabs so if you have difficulty in paraphrasing especially when you are having limited proficiency with language then you can go for this squill word paraphrasing tool and I would advise you to use part by part you paraphrase understand the meaning what it is giving and you incorporate instead of copying the full entire document and getting the results without reading the output thanks for watching this video if you find this video useful please click on the like button share it to your friends if you haven't subscribed to the channel please subscribe thanks again


Okay, very good morning to you. Hope you had a fantastic weekend and lots for me to get you up to speed on including why Rishi Sunak here Looks odds on favorite to become the new UK Prime Minister Perhaps as soon as today, so we'll delve into that a little bit more. We've also got further suspected currency interventions in Japan With the Japanese yen seeing some extreme volatility overnight to accompany the moves that we saw at the end of last week We've also had Chinese equities and the Yuan hammered in the overnight APAC session Coming as President Xi looks to consolidate power at the 20th annual party Congress Got 165 S&P 500 companies also reporting this week including all of your mega cap tech names like Apple Microsoft Amazon and so on we've also then got a whole ton of data coming out this week We've got the preferred measure of inflation for the Fed Procore PCE numbers coming as well as lots of other figures at the moment The market still leaning heavily that the Fed pulled a trigger on the 2nd of November by another 75 basis points And you also are expecting interest rate hikes to come from the likes of the ECB and the Bank of Canada So let's delve into this UK political situation talk about what is exactly going on So with Johnson having pulled out now, it's really a two-horse race But there's one who is in far more advantageous position right now And that is the former Chancellor Rishi Sunak who's had more than 150 Conservative MPs come out and formally back him comparative to Penny Morden who's lagging at around 25 However, there is some suggestion that she might have a late push to get her over the line If she doesn't then Rishi becomes the Prime Minister the facto now few things to be aware of if Penny Morden can get above a hundred what will happen here is there will be a debate in Parliament later on this afternoon There'll be a secret ballot of Conservative MPs They will then have their result at 6 p.m. Which will give an indicative Sure of support for which candidate they are backing That purely is indicative it then means then that two candidates if they're still in the race at the end today Will go to the Conservative membership who will vote then for their next party leader online Results of which will get on Friday At the moment though, it's looking like none of that might even happen Jeremy Hunt who's the current UK Chancellor has already come out as well as lots of other senior and influential Conservative party members and have given their backing to Rishi Sunak Chancellor Hunt himself has publicly done that in a telegraph piece put out in the last 24 hours How is Stirling reacted well in the recommencement of trade overnight the power initially popped up However, that move has faded and we're pretty much trading of where we were when we finished to trade on Friday night I think one of the main things to take away here is that while Rishi coming in and teaming up with Hunt might be a powerful combination for more kind of fiscal prudency Which will alleviate some of those anxieties that caused that big shakeout post the Liz trust Quertan kind of mini-budget situation The thing is here is that most of Wall Street is still of the Understanding that you the UK as you can see here from Morgan Stanley analysts They see as a structural under performer So the greater economic challenges still facing the UK at the moment still put a heavy bearish bias on the future direction of Stirling for the time being All right, some other things to be aware of here. You can see some Japanese Currency volatility what has seen or seemingly been the second intervention from the Japanese authorities in just two sessions According to the FT citing traders They said that Japan likely spent more than 30 billion US dollars last week in order to support their local currency Analysts said that that move because the move that we had at the end of last week was particularly large in size You can see here we move from around 152 all the way down to our 146 and a half And that's a huge move But as I said 30 billion perhaps being used as firepower to create that type of magnitude response But could have been exacerbated a little bit because the move was precipitated by a report in the Wall Street Journal And that said that the Fed were likely to debate next month on whether to approve smaller rate increases in December as global financial stress mounts because of the sharp rate hikes that they have been conducting so we could dollar helping further exacerbate that injection of Japanese currency strength in that move Economists expect the central bank to keep its policy unchanged again at its two-day meeting We're gonna have that at the end of the week in Japan the finance minister Suzuki said in the overnight session to kick off this week that he will continue to monitor Markets with a high-sense emergency and he would make the necessary responses as needed. I mentioned China So Chinese markets tumbled overnight as Xi's tightening grip has alarmed investors So what's happened here is that the Chinese Yuan weakened along with the nation's equities as they reacted to the possible risks that Xi Jinping's move to stack his leadership with essentially loyalists which what we can take away from that is that He's going to now secure a third term as head of the ruling Communist Party and consolidate his power And that means then the things like further regulation further state control into The ownership of companies that we've seen before through these various crackdowns And in more importantly the stringency of the zero COVID policy approach All of these are likely to remain There's even been speculation that this kind of quote common prosperity goal that he has may even lead to property and inheritance Taxes as well. So across the board It's been seen as a negative in the overnight session for the Chinese economy Hong Kong's Hang Seng index did drop about six percent In overnight trade technology companies were the worst affected and you can see here the Hang Seng China Enterprises index is now back to levels not seen since the 2008 global financial crisis levels So things are pretty bad and China at the moment We did see delayed Chinese data if you remember because of that party Congress happening They delayed some key measurements So GDP did come out overnight and in fact that did actually come in for Q3 firmer than expected at three point nine percent above expectations of three point three However, things like retail sales some other data points were on the weaker side of things I mentioned earnings corporate earnings in the US. It's probably one of the most busiest weeks a hundred and sixty five S&P companies coming out Almost half of the Dow 30 components as well So just running you through a couple of highlights really on Tuesday You get the likes of Coca-Cola 3m GM UPS aftermarket then the first of the big tech giants Microsoft and Alphabet Wednesday Boeing pre-market meta aftermarket Thursday you get the likes of Caterpillar McDonald's Merc pre-market, but Apple Amazon Both coming out on Thursday, and then you get the oil majors in the form of Exxon and Chevron on Friday Okay, taking a quick look at the calendar for this week You get the global flash PMIs coming out for the Eurozone and for the US later on this afternoon So so far to just give you a bit of a flavor the European Manufacturing flash PMI was weaker 46.6 below the expected 47.8 particularly a weakness observed in the German figure In terms of the services European level that was in line with expectations at 48.2 German iPhone comes out on Tuesday always one quite closely watched by the market But just given the situation with the energy crisis that's happening in Germany given a direct impact of the Dependency on Russia that number likely to remain pretty depressed at this moment in time And then Wednesday you get the first of the major bank decisions You've got Bank of Canada under pressure to hike by 75 basis points this time around given the upside surprise that we had in inflation most recently and on Thursday you've got US GDP You've also got durable goods alongside the weekly jobless claims, and then you get the ECB interest rate decision where Markets are pretty much baked in for a 75 basis point rate hike again from the ECB eyes are going to be Open to some of the other ongoing issues so excess liquidity quantitative tightening and a terminal interest rate of course Much like we we view in the US where the rates now peak now that rates are rising is the key question And then on Friday you've got the core PCE numbers personal income spending coming out the US You also get the lights at the flash GDP data in the eurozone so particularly heavy week on the US side of things but overall in terms of the Ability to move market expectations for the second of November FMC meeting It's probably not going to change that outlook a great deal at the moment as you can see here federal funds rate Are pricing in around a 91% chance that the Fed will once again pull the trigger on another 75 basis point rate hike and we're just two weeks to go now until the US midterms No one's really been talking about this a great deal because the emphasis has been so focused on so many other things Have been going on as I've just been talking about but the midterms are not that far away And there was a really excellent research report from our friends at ING That have put together and I really like it because it's just really easy to read and it covers everything in a kind of Matter-of-fact way talks about what you need to know, but also market implications under different scenarios So I have put that out on a LinkedIn post I will share this link in the first comment of the videos Of the comment section on this video. So feel free to have a read I highly recommend it, but that is it. So again, feel free to like and subscribe to the channel I wish you a fantastic week ahead and catch you next time. Thanks very much


Last week I had the privilege of having lunch with one of the men in our church me and my husband with Jose some of you guys know we went to his house with him and his wife and it was an awesome time just so you know Jose can throw down so if he invites you for lunch say yes so we were talking with him and he was sharing us the story of his salvation and how he came to Christ and it was a really awesome story and he told me Brittany when I came to Jesus Christ I gave my heart to the Lord in this brand new church and I decided I wanted to get close to the pastor so as soon as I gave my life to God I went up to the pastor and I said pastor I have one question for you yes Jose what's next he said Jose the next step is now that you've been saved you need to get water baptized so Jose immediately signed up for the next water baptism and along with about 40 other people he got water baptized in front of the whole church and so he then went up to his church and he said pastor I have one question for you and he said yes Jose and he said what's next and his pastor said now that you've been water baptized you need to pray and ask God to baptize you in the Holy Spirit and fire through the evidence of speaking in tongues and Jose said all right pastor and he began to pray and seek God and ask him Lord baptize me in your Holy Spirit and fire so that I may speak in tongues and he said that this process took a couple of months but finally on one fateful day on a on a church service he was praying and the spirit of God touched him so mightily and he began speaking in other tongues and after this happened Jose went up to his pastor he's the pastor yes Jose what's next and I believe that many of us can relate to this story we've now been on this series this break free series and we have been equipped with the knowledge and practical advice on how to get free and stay free and some of us are asking ourselves this question what's next our life especially our Christian life our walk with God is in stages and we may be asking ourselves what next and God gives us illustrations through nature to help us answer this question I believe that Jesus was able to speak in parables I believe that he was able to speak in parables because the answers to life are all around us we simply have to take a deeper look amen tell your neighbor take a deeper look if you can open up with me to Psalms chapter 92 verse 12 we're gonna start off the message in this scripture Psalms chapter 92 verse 12 through 14 let's just ask and invite Holy Spirit Holy Spirit we invite you in this place we pray God that you will speak to our hearts today God that you will help us to walk in our journey with you give us the practical steps on how to follow you speak to our hearts today let your word be planted in our spirit causing us to grow in Jesus name amen Psalms chapter 92 verse 12 it says this the righteous shall flourish like a palm tree he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon those who are planted somebody say planted in the house of the Lord say the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of our God they shall still bear fruit in old age say bear fruit they shall be fresh and flourishing hallelujah I want you to hold on to that scripture right now we're gonna go to the second scripture so we're gonna go to Psalms chapter 1 verse 3 so you're in the middle of the Psalms right now go all the way back to the beginning Psalms chapter 1 and verse 3 it says this he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water that brings forth its fruit in its season whose leaf also shall not wither and whatever he does shall prosper amen the Bible says that we should be like a tree remember I said that God gives us illustrations through nature to answer some of life's questions because the answer to life's question is all around us and today we're gonna take a deeper look amen the Bible says that we should be like a tree and that brings me to the title of my message today called seeds and seasons somebody say seeds and seasons I want you to notice something about a tree a tree does not begin tall and majestic it's really easy when we look at a tree physically we see all that it is and we marvel at its beauty but today we're gonna take a deeper look because the tree did not start off that way it came from somewhere it started from somewhere and there are six significant stages of a tree and how it goes from a seed to a mature tree and we're gonna talk about those stages today and how they were representative of our Christian walk with God so the very first step to becoming a tree is a seed every single one of us we start as a seed and the significance of a seed is that a seed must be planted amen this is representative of salvation we must come to Jesus Christ and give our lives to him the next step is water baptism getting connected to a home group getting planted like it said in Psalms chapter 92 getting planted in the house of the Lord as a seed it is simply a shell full of potential it is a shell that is full of life but the life-giving potential cannot come out of the shell until it is first buried into the ground until it is first planted in the house of the Lord some of us here we have a misconception about church and we oftentimes block ourselves from getting planted into the church because some of us have been a little bit hurt by the church I want to tell you something very significant about a seed when a seed is planted into the soil it doesn't mind that the soil is dirty it doesn't mind that it's a little bit dirty because while the soil may be dirty it is also fertile amen whatever is stopping you from giving your life to Jesus Christ maybe you've been hurt by the church maybe there's been some things that have happened you're like I don't want to go there I don't think that this is right for me giving my life to Jesus Christ don't back down because the soil is a little bit dirty understand that if you are to become who God wants you to be you must first be planted when a seed gets planted into the ground it has to die that means when you give your life to Jesus Christ he puts an end to your past gives birth to a few new future and rewrites your history amen all those hurts and burdens that you have from the past God wants to put an end to that today in Jesus name may the Spirit of the Lord touch your heart this morning or this afternoon number two is the sprout for a seed to become a sprout the significance of it is that it breaks free from its outer shell it breaks free from its outer shell and starts developing roots this is representative of deliverance and right now we're in the break free series and we've been talking for about nine or ten weeks on this particular step of deliverance and breaking free getting out of the shell in order for it to break out of its shell at first has to be planted just like we talked about and and I want us to understand something very significant about this particular process of breaking free we've been talking about deliverance and I want to share the significance between about deliverance deliverance comes from breaking the chains but freedom comes from fighting your enemy so you as a seed you are a life you have life inside of the shell but in order for that life to be something and grow into something it has to break outside of the shell when the seed is planted into the ground it breaks free out of the shell and God wants to help you to do that so that you can flourish into all that you are to become like what Jania said up here on the stage she said I don't understand how people do this alone you can't that's why you have to be planted in the house of the Lord you can't do it alone you need people to help you to break out of the tree you need people to be like soil around you to give you that fertile ground so that you can have the energy and the strength to break free out of your outer shell so that the person that you are meant to be the life spirit that is inside of you can break through and break free and become what God wants you to be deliverance comes amen let's get up for Jesus deliverance comes from breaking the chains but freedom comes from fighting your enemy the moment that that root begins to break free out of its shell it has to continue to fight its way down so that its roots can grow down deep because the deeper you go the higher you grow amen the third stage in the development of a tree is it becomes a seedling and in order for it to become a seedling this is the stage when it becomes visible above the ground now everybody likes this stage because when you're in that process of deliverance you're closed in everything is all about you but finally you get to break free above the ground and suddenly people begin to notice you this stage is representative of gifts and talents God wants to give you a dream God wants to develop your gifts and talents and suddenly as you begin to break free people will begin to notice you as you come up above the ground here is where this stage gets really dangerous because while you become visible above the ground this is the stage in which you are the most or which a seed is most susceptible to disease and infection so when God is elevating you be careful of the disease of the enemy which is pride jealousy anger and here's another one resentment of somebody else's growth when God is developing your gift there's a few mindsets that is really easy to develop because when people start noticing you it starts to feel pretty darn good oh you have a great talent you can speak you're an awesome singer you have a talent for this and a talent for that and it's easy to now get infected by this disease because we're start to look around and when you become above when you get above the ground you start to notice other people you start to notice their growth and where they're at in their stage and in their season and sometimes we start to compare ourselves to others don't fall into the trap of comparing yourselves to others when it comes to your gift and your talent in the dream that God has placed in your heart often times we can say well I'm not good enough because I'm just barely getting above the ground and we can be down on ourselves and here's another one that's just as dangerous if not more we can look around and say well I'm better than that person my gift is better than theirs I'm taller than they are and that's a very very dangerous place to be in in this stage of life let God speak to you let God develop you let the Holy Spirit raise you up when you are being elevated beware of the disease of the enemy number four the fourth stage in development is the sapling the sapling this is when the tree grows taller and it begins to develop an outer layer called bark another significant part of this stage is that a sapling does not yet bear fruit this stage of a tree is very representative of character development in the life of the Christian as a Christian you must develop thick skin amen you must develop thick skin many times we go through these phases and we get to the point where we we are we have the dream inside and we begin to get a little bit more focused we kind of understand where we're going God is teaching us to focus in on ourselves right down the vision make it plain and go in that direction but then there's going to be times as you're growing that certain things are going to happen and people are certainly going to have something to say about your growth people are going to have something to say or maybe circumstances are hitting you in life maybe things happen maybe you got kicked out of school or maybe you lost your job or things begin to happen that seem to contradict your dream but God wants you to develop thick skin the purpose of a sapling during that season of life is to grow the outer layer so that it has bark what bark does is it blocks out other things it blocks out the weather it blocks out all all of the disease that might be in the air so that it can protect what's on the inside this is significant in our character development as a Christian you have to develop thick skin and God will take you through seasons or God will take you through this stage because if you are to be elevated you've got to be stable our relationship with God must be based on something more stable than our emotions growing up it's we are taught to be led by our emotions I feel this way this is what's happening to me and let me tell you something a couple years ago and for the majority of my life I was one of those people very much led by my emotions talk to anybody around here who knows me and you know that I was the biggest crybaby oh my God the biggest crybaby any little thing offended me every little thing hurt my feelings and I could not take criticism worth nothing anybody wanted to correct me and it was the end of my world and it made me feel so bad and God brought me through a season of my life where I some of you know I spent about a year and a half in Lagos Nigeria and it was during that season where God began to take me through this character development growth in my life and let me just say this while I was there I was spanked into into right thinking in a season in that season of my life I had to learn to do the things that I didn't want to do or that were hard to do for example going to bed at three o'clock in the morning waking up at six a.m. having every single hour of the day be devoted to somebody else's benefit and not my own it's really easy to get disappointed or feel down on yourselves in a season like that where you feel like you're not going anywhere and you're constantly serving you're constantly helping somebody else's vision grow you're constantly doing doing doing doing but you're not receiving any of the benefit and the challenge for you today is sometimes in that season you have to learn to do the things that you don't want to do and do it with a good attitude this will develop you this is an important season of life because this is how you will develop thick skin while it was there you know it wasn't just you know doing all of that I also was constantly getting in trouble for being a big fat crybaby why because anytime I did something wrong people would tell on me we have tattletales there a lot of them Rickard was one of them I love you and here's the thing like I said I used to get offended by every little thing and on top of that then I would get in double trouble because I would cry about it let me tell you in a place like that you learn to develop really thick skin and now it's really hard to say something that's gonna make me cry because I have heard it all my friends and I know who I am and who I certainly am not in Romans chapter 5 verse 3 through 5 says this but we also glory in tribulations knowing that tribulation produces perseverance and perseverance produces character and character produces hope now hope does not disappoint because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us amen persevere build that character develop thick skin so that you can become who God has created you to be let's move on to the fifth stage this stage of growth is called sequoia I actually put it in parentheses for mature tree because it really is mature tree in the stages of development but I felt like come on now everything starts with an S mature tree SS SS M so I took liberty and I'm calling it sequoia sequoia is a tall majestic tree and I thought it was fitting for this message a tree a mature tree starts producing fruit and this is also the most productive season or a most productive stage I should say of a tree and this is representative of our destiny at this point you've been planted into the church you're you're developing God is setting you free delivering you from from the outer shell and letting you break free God gives you a dream a gift and a talent and he helps to build your character so that you'll be strong enough to hold what God wants to do in your life and that you will have thick skin so that what people say to you may hit you but it can't get in you and now it's time to bear fruit now it's time to do what God has called you to do remember that gift and that dream that you got as a seedling God wants to bear that fruit now amen whatever God has placed in your heart it is up to you to now bear that fruit in this season or in this stage you will be your most productive but what I want to mention about this stage is that even as you're walking in your destiny even when you're walking in the divine calling of God Almighty on your life you will still experience seasons because as sure as it is spring next time it will be summer after that it will be fall after that it will be winter and when the winter is finished it will go right back to spring and we know we can take a look into nature to understand that there are seasons in life no matter if you are a strong tree planted deep growing high and bearing fruit you will still experience the vicissitudes of life that means that life will go up and down you'll experience calamities you will experience things that seem to contradict where you're going but you are a tree planted by the rivers of water it says that you will still bear fruit in old age that you will be fresh and you will be something the Bible doesn't you should be like a flower reason it says that you should be like a many people who come to the to church and they look real good because they look like a flower but I want to tell you the difference between a flower and a tree a flower grows in outward beauty really fast and there's a lot of flowers in this church but you know what the Bible says that the flowers are here today and they're gone tomorrow and they can't withstand the seasons of life the Bible doesn't say that you should be a flower it says that you should be a tree rooted down deep so that you can serve God Almighty be a tree that can weather any storm and stand the test of time amen and lastly there's one last stage in development of a tree and it's called the snag I didn't make that up that's that's really what it's called and I'm sorry for everybody who's in this stage of life the snag is a decaying tree and it no longer bears fruit but at this season of or that stage of a tree is when the tree becomes it's most useful to the environment around it you want to know why because the tree provides shelter for other living organisms because the tree provides food for for the other living organisms around it and this stage of life is representative of endurance second Timothy 4 verse 6 through 8 says for I am already being poured out as a drink offering this is Paul and the time of my departure is at hand I have fought the good fight I have finished the race I have kept the faith finally there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness which the Lord the righteous judge will give me on that day and not to me only but also to all who have loved his appearing many of us we want to skip through the stages and jump straight to being a mature tree but you have to go through every single season of life in the University of God no matter how brilliant you are you will never be given double promotion because you have to take every course because every course serves a purpose in your life so don't get down if you're in a season of life that's your that you don't like trust God through it all and I want to end on this I want to speak to every single one of you in here today who you might be in one of these different stages of life in stages in your journey with God I want to first talk to the seed maybe you haven't given your life to Jesus Christ my encouragement to you is the Bible says that today is the day of salvation and tomorrow is not promised to anyone to those of you who are sprouts and you've been listening to this break free message and you're in the process of deliverance I want to tell you that the Bible says Jesus says this to you I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy and I want to talk to the seedlings right now that God has given you vision God has given you your gifts and your talents I want to I want to encourage you with Jeremiah 29 11 he says for I know the thoughts that I think towards you says the Lord they are thoughts to prosper you and not to harm you to give you a hope and a future hold on to the hope of your future in this season I want to talk to the saplings you are growing thick skin and it feels a little bit hard because this even season is one of the toughest of life because everything inside of you is being challenged I want to tell you what it says in John chapter 14 verse 27 Jesus says peace I give unto you not as the world gives you do not let your heart be troubled amen and I want to talk to the sequoias those of you who are walking in your divine destiny remember this what it says in Ecclesiastes chapter three to everything there is a season and a time for every purpose under heaven and lastly I want to talk to those of you few of you who might feel that you are in the stage of the snag that you are a decaying tree and maybe you think I have born that I can bear and there's nothing left that I can do I want to remind you what it says in the Word of God in Acts chapter 2 verse 17 he says in the last days I will pour out my spirit on all flesh and old man will see visions I want to tell you this morning that your time has not expired and the best is always yet to come amen


I want to learn about more how to cow. Like 20 in Spanish. Uno, dos, tres, cuatro, cinco, seis. Plant seeds, potato, that's it. That's easy, that's easy. I can sow like 80 billion thousand plus 80 billion thousand. Making some objects, a house that I put on a lot of shapes in it. Like circles, hexagons, triangles and squares. Enjoy. You're like holding the mic.
