It is now time for oral questions to recognize the leader of the opposition Thank you speaker Speaker my first questions for the premier We have two students today as I mentioned in the introductions who organized this weekend's rally against the repeal of the updated sex health Sexual health and education curriculum And I wanted to commend them for showing the incredible leadership that they showed on the weekend Last week the education minister said that students need to learn about consent Cyber bullying and gender identity and appreciation a few hours later She backpedaled and left students teachers and school boards more confused than ever Will the premier confirm that all information about consent cyber bullying and gender identity from the updated health curriculum Will be taught in Ontario classrooms this September Mr. Speaker, I want to thank the leader of the opposition For the question as I've said day and day after day. I said it very clearly We're going to consult mr. Speaker with the people of Ontario. There's 14 million people in Ontario and less than point 001% of The public school system the separate school system was consulted That's not consulting people When you have 1600 people online by the way the curriculum was already done and Then they decided to go out and get 1600 people and get their opinion I know the leader of the opposition doesn't believe in consulting with parents We believe in consulting with parents and once we do largest consultation in the history of Ontario Then we'll be able to answer your question here Yesterday the deputy premier said and I quote issues related to self identity and Self-expression will be included in the curriculum this fall. Will the premier confirm that all information about sexual orientation gender identity LGBTQ families from the updated health curriculum will be taught in Ontario schools this coming September Mr. Speaker That's not up to us to decide up in this chamber. It's up. It's up to the people It's up. I know you don't believe in consulting with the people It's up to the people of this great province to give us the direction to make that decision in a campaign For the people it's not for the government or for the opposition or for the special interest groups Yeah, it's for the people here. Thank you The premier's favoured favoured special interest group speaker. That's the problem. It's not for the safety of our kids It's for the premier's favourite special interest group Look the premier's backroom deal to scrap the updated health curriculum is causing nothing but Confusion for students and for school boards and for teachers and we all know why the premier made that backroom deal with social Conservatives to help him get elected and now he's repaying his political debt to those radical activists doing it at the expense of Ontario students and in apparent opposition to his deputy premier and Education minister why is the premier putting his own political interests first and putting the safety of our kids in jeopardy? Mr. Speaker leader of the opposition. I have the greatest deputy premier I could ever ask for We ran again on a message For the people and when the people speak We listen. We don't believe in the big government. We don't believe in the nanny state We don't believe in politicians dictating to the people. We believe in empowering the people and let them make the decision We start the clock Next question Thank you very much speaker My next question is again for the premier the premier's decisions are being driven by backroom insiders Not by what's best for all Ontarians the premier said his backroom deal with hydro one would cost zero Absolutely zero, but now we know that Mayo Schmidt will walk out the door with at least Nine million dollars and if hydro ones deal with a vista falls through hydro one ratepayers could be on the hook To pay over a hundred million dollars to a dirty coal burning American power plant When will the premier release the full details and full cost of his backroom deal with hydro one? Mr. Speaker through you We ran on getting rid of the CEO of hydro one. We ran on getting rid of the entire board We did exactly what we promised We also ran on a promise that we're going to reduce hydro rates by 12% and that is exactly what we're going to do We're going to put money back into the people's pocket We're going to help small businesses We're going to help families that are struggling to put food on the table when they have a choice between paying the highest hydro rates in North America or Putting food on their table Mr. Speaker I'm sorry. Mr. Speaker Mr. Speaker what we won't do is lay seven thousand people Supplementary Thank You speaker I guess the pledge not to waste the precious public dollars has gone by the wayside nine million plus a hundred three million plus Who knows how many billions with cap and trade? Cancellation is going to cost the people of Ontario a hell of a lot of wasted money for his political purposes speaker But look the people of Ontario deserve to know the full cost of the premier's backroom deal at hydro one But the premier has refused to come clean on that deal speaker and that's why new Democrats We're trying to bring forward an amendment to bill to to require hydro one to publish the full details of payments made to the departing CEO And the board of directors But the government has decided instead to ram the bill through with little debate no committee hearing no chance for the people to have a say Why is the premier shutting down an opportunity for the people of Ontario to have their say on this bill? premier Mr. Speaker When we talk about hydro My friend across the aisle leader of the opposition had it her members go out during the election and Lobby for the highest hydro rates in North America the largest carbon tax The largest carbon tax I have to be able to hear the premier premier Yeah, one of your candidates bragging we should have the highest carbon tax in North America in the entire world We're taking a different approach We're actually gonna reduce gas prices by 10 cents a liter Thank you. Thank you. Thank you final supplementary. Thank you speaker Well, what wasn't true during the collect the election campaign is still not true today speaker Premier the very first piece of legislation to be tabled in this legislature And he's shutting out the people in terms of the committee hearings and opportunity for public debate and scrutiny of his first Piece of legislation. That's not very transparent speaker. That's not gathering the voices of the people It's shutting out the voices of the people He needs to tell us what the full cost our speaker what the payment to pay Mayo Schmidt and the board of directors is going to cost He needs to tell the government how he's going to protect Ontarians from a hundred and three million dollars In charges and fines if the avista deal falls falls through and he has to come clean about any further cost As a result of this backroom deal will the premier release the full cost speaker Mr. Speaker leader of the opposition. I'll tell you what transparency is transparency is when you make promises during the election You keep your promises We start the clock as as we promised as we promised and we delivered on our promise the CEO of Hydro one had a zero Severance there you go. Absolutely zero Zero we promise we're going to get rid of the cap and trade and carbon tax the worst tax Any anyone could put on the backs of the taxpayers and businesses and we're doing that. It's done. It's gone We're putting money back into the people's pocket instead of the government's Leader of the opposition. I appreciate your question Next question member for Tamiskaming my question is to the premier today the financial accountability officer tabled his annual report He specifically highlighted two of his office's most important reports the real cost of selling off hydro one and the real cost of the Liberal hydro plan which is now the Ford hydro plan The FAO's nonpartisan expert report showed that privatizing hydro one increases the deficit by billions Privatization of hydro one is a waste. It was a bad liberal plan and now it's a bad Ford plan. It's a deal that helps backroom insiders and big banks and hurts people It's not a plan for the people. It's a plan for the rich How can the premier justify hydro one privatization that adds billions to the deficit? Thank the member from the new deficit party or a new Democratic Party for his question, Mr. Speaker For 28 for 28 days the most important standing committee that could ever be convened Met and on June 7th. They made their decision, Mr. Speaker They supported this leader and our government to reduce their hydro rates by 12% and in the past couple of weeks To get rid of projects that communities didn't not only did they not need them, but they didn't want the mr. Speaker We're on track to reduce those Hydra rates promises plural made promises kept Supplementary the FAO also highlighted the report in the liberal aid the lib also highlighted the report The hydro liberal plan last week the energy minister said he wasn't that familiar with the liberal plan The only thing is the liberal plan is now the conservative plan The FAO report shows that the Ford hydro plan will cost Ontario more than 45 billion dollars The FAO's nonpartisan expert report shows that bills will increase Permanently and people will soon see annual increases of nearly seven percent The premier says he's for the people so why is his plan increasing their hydro bills by billions? Once again through you mr. Speaker I'll just turn to my colleagues and ask for forgiveness that I don't pay attention to liberal energy policy Liberal energy policy that the NDP supported time in and time again Mr. Speaker that saw their hydro rates either go up or be subsidized for the next generation Which would be my little girls Abigail may and pop a cake mr. Speaker. We don't stand for that on this side of the house We're saving taxpayers 790 million dollars in today's dollars mr. Speaker by contract by Terminating contracts that Ontarians don't want and don't need mr. Speaker We're renewing the leadership for hydro one and we're running meeting our commitment to reduce hydro rates for all restart the clock Next question member for mississaugamot Thank You mr. Speaker as I rise for the first time in the house I like to congratulate you on your election and like to say what you're doing a wonderful job. Thank you so much I'd like to congratulate rest of my hundred and twenty-two MPPs on their election as well Miss speaker my question is for the minister of community safety and correctional services First I would like to congratulate the minister for being tasked for this very important responsibility I know that minister will serve his constituents in the people of Ontario with honesty and integrity With the recent prison and indiscriminate act of violence seen in the city of Toronto I'm proud to know that our government for the people will ensure that our police and the first responders will have the resources Right and the tools required to perform their job safely and effectively Mr. Speaker our first responders perform their duties selflessly with incredible Professionalism and they deserve to have the proper resources to perform their duties So mr. Speaker my question to our minister is could the minister please explain to the minister Minister response minister of community safety mr. Speaker first They'd like to congratulate the honorable member for Mississauga Malton on his recent election as an MPP Mr. Speaker our thoughts are with the victims and their families that experience this senseless violence I want to also thank the first responders who acted so quickly to help the victims bring the accident to an end Public safety is our primary concern and we're committed to examining current community funding programs and their effectiveness in reducing gun violence And gang related activity in Ontario This government has remained clear on the issue of gun violence and organized crime in Ontario We will remain committed to providing our frontline officers with the tools and resources they require to perform their duties We are going to get resources to our police services. Mr. Speaker It's it means boots on the ground. It means more resources on the frontline so they can do their job That's what we committed to in the last election more tools more resources more supports. Thank you Back to minister minister over the past 15 years We have repeatedly seen our police being unable to acquire the proper tools and resources they need to keep Ontario community safe This has placed our frontline officers at risk, which is simply unacceptable under the previous government Mr. Speaker our first responders were denied the ability to perform their job safely and effectively With the rise in gun violence in our streets our first responders deserve better and deserve to perform their job safely Mr. Speaker with the rise in gun violence in our street. Can the minister please explain how this ministry will Help keep Ontario's communities safe Thank you once again for that question. Mr. Speaker gun violence destroys lives and is a menace to our communities It has no place in ontarios and these attacks need to stop The premier had directed my ministry to work across government lines And with key stakeholders including police municipalities and community organizations We'll also want to work with the federal government to ensure Their sentencing is tougher for people who have committed violent acts And that the bail system is keeping our communities safe The status quo is failing. Mr. Speaker So I will remain committed to working with all members of this house And everyone in this province to find solutions that will keep our community safe and protect ontarians From being the victims of senseless violence. Thank you Thank you, mr. Speaker. My question is to the premier Earlier this month educators elders and knowledge keepers Including survivors of residential schools were to travel to Toronto to participate in the curriculum writing session for the truth and reconciliation curriculum One of the recommendations of the trc commission This was cancelled on the friday before people were set to travel and in fact some already had traveled into the city Ministry staff have said that the move was taken in order to meet the directive by this government To find savings across the public service Speaker will the premier tell us when the truth and reconciliation curriculum writing will resume Mr. Of indigenous affairs, thank you, mr. Speaker And we look forward to the opportunity for these young people young indigenous people to have access to these important Developments in the curriculum and for them to be a part of it and we intend to see those meetings go on Moving forward, mr. Speaker We were put this on pause to be a little cost-conscious about how How how we intend to proceed with this but we'll move forward with this in in in short order supplementing Mr. Speaker The minister has said that the curriculum was postponed not paused as he said not cancelled and would resume Summer was the ideal time for this curriculum writing to take place In the fall educators will have to be replaced in their classrooms by substitute teachers This curriculum was to involve language and cultural learning as early as kindergarten Which is vitally important to preserving and passing on things like languages Will the premier tell educators elders and students when the truth and reconciliation curriculum writing will will resume paused is not good enough One of the most important things that we can do mr. Speaker is to honor the principles of truth and reconciliation And ensure as I think all colleagues from both sides Could say and share that there wasn't enough of that in our own curriculums growing up as children in our public and and school education system We intend to remain committed to this opportunity mr. Speaker and we'll have more to say about that in the very near future. Thank you Thank you. Next question the member for blend gary prescott russell. Yes. Thank you, mr. Speaker My question is for the minister of infrastructure I represent many small communities that have felt neglected in the last 15 years During the election premier dug forward in our ontario pc team campaign on the promise to make life easier for families Businesses seniors students and to send a message that ontario is open for business A key part of that promise is providing modern reliable infrastructure to communities in every corner of this province That includes expanding broadband access Can the minister tell this house about how his ministry will be supporting our government's mandate To deliver relief for the people of rural ontario Well, thank you very much and it's an honor to rise during question period for the first time as minister of infrastructure By thanking the people of lampton kent middle sex for returning me back to queens park and to thank my wife Cade and daughter any for all their support Also, mr. Speaker. I want to thank the member from glen gary prescott russell for this very a tough but fair question this morning Mr. Speaker providing modern reliable infrastructure to both our biggest cities and small towns Is critical if we want to make ontario open for business again Access to broadband internet is a key part of supporting economic growth in all of our communities and is a Important Focus of the dug forward government I'm excited to work with our municipal partners the ministry of agriculture and rural affairs in the private sector To deliver on the expansion of this vital infrastructure Back to the minister. Thank you minister I'm pleased to hear that the ministry of infrastructure is committed to supporting our government's resounding mandate The expansion of broadband is an important part of allowing our local communities to continue to grow And supporting the people who want to build their careers and raise their families in rural ontario I know there's a hodgepodge of programs and partnerships already underway between the different levels of government and the private sector To expand access to broadband and cellular services Can the minister tell us more about the role that our government will be playing in modernizing this critical infrastructure minister I understand as do my colleagues on this side of the house The value of reliable high speed internet to our communities right across the province It is not just a matter of convenience or supporting business growth Broadband access can also improve Access and create cost savings and health care transportation and the delivery of community services In a few weeks, mr. Speaker I will be sitting down with hundreds of municipal representatives at amo and ottawa to discuss their priorities And how we can work with their municipal partners to deliver the modern reliable infrastructure that families and businesses rely on Good morning, mr. Speaker. My question is for the premier Scrapping the cap and trade program does more harm than good Case and point is my writing of hamilton west and caster dundas The latest victim of these conservative cuts Mohawk college Has now fallen victim to these cuts and they have had the two million dollars promise Claude back two million dollars that was promised to open the new center for climate change management This center was the first of its kind in ontario and it would have helped fast track our region to a low carbon economy So now this innovative Center is scrambling to ensure that we can keep it alive So mr. Speaker, I ask how many more green initiatives Will end up on the conservative shopping block while it dismantles path and trade Mr. Speaker through you thanking the member for her question Our government was elected on a promise That puts people first and makes life more affordable for ontarians As i've said before in this in this house, we do understand the importance of tackling climate change But we disagree fundamentally with the solution of a carbon tax or a cap and trade program The programs that the members speak of are programs that were being funded by that regressive unfair tax And this government has been clear It will cancel cap and trade It will not support a carbon tax and it cannot support the programs that were supported by that regressive tax Supplementary Mr. Speaker Canceling the cap and trade only hurts ontario business with small business suffering the most Business is the backbone of ontario's economy The federal government's greenhouse Pollution pricing act will apply to businesses located across the province that don't have a cap and trade program This means that the price of pollution ultimately falls on the rest of ontario residents Those that are already struggling to make ends meet So why is this premier ignoring the financial burdens that come along with scrapping the cap and trade And will the conservative premier be honest and tell us where this act is going to fall next Mr. Mr. Speaker through you to the member this government has been very clear from the very beginning About our position on cap and trade It is it is a little bit rich to think that that attacks is about how We are going to make business competitive to talk about competitiveness and attacks is I guess the ndp way To talk about competitiveness about ontario businesses to talk about competitiveness For for our businesses our job creators. We are not going to have attacks We are not going to have the largest carbon tax in the world the highest carbon tax in the world We are going to cut that tax and in doing that we are going to create jobs For ontarians and we are going to create a better environment a more affordable environment for our problems Mr. Thank you, mr. Speaker first of all, I'd like to congratulate you for being elected as a speaker of the 42nd Legislature of transportation Last week the minister claimed that Doug Ford will be remembered as the premier who brought transit to ontario Apparently the ministerial script has been delivered to the pc party You know as of last june's there were more transit projects on the way in ontario than ever before Including the ottawa lrt phase one that is scheduled to carry its first passengers in november The previous government commits to funding the lrt phase two and I know during the campaign The dead leader now premier did commit to funding not only the lrt phase two But other projects all across our great province Can the minister clarify for this house's remarks from last week about funding of ongoing transit project And can he tell me today?

Thank you very much to the honorable member for more leans for the question and congratulations on your reelection Yes, I did say that Doug Ford would be the premier that brought transit to ontario I didn't talk about the history Absolutely, but he will be remembered as the premier who expanded the transit system in ontario beyond the work of anyone before him Our commitment to expanding transit in the province of ontario is iron clad It's as iron clad as the steel rails that move trains across this country Speaker and I can say on the lrt we bear Continuously in negotiations with the city of Ottawa and discussions with the city of Ottawa phase two is absolutely Absolutely a project that this province under Doug Ford will be partnering with the city of Ottawa There is no question and I can expand on that in the supplementary. Thank you very much Torre premier who is remembered for transit and is not fond memory My care is cancelled the eglinton subway. He just didn't cancel it actually He filled in the tunnels that had already been dug Uncertainty arts ontario's economy and its business community and the 4.2 billion dollar Incorporate assets that are limbo because this government cancelled carbon permits has caused enough uncertainty They don't need more on the transit file We know that this government has already cut funding for schools businesses all owners and hospitals Are transit project next and will the minister Commit to this house today that this government will not cancel Any plan or ongoing transit project that this government won't fill in any more tunnels? Thank you speaker and I thank the member for the question You know the the members of the the liberal party are going to have to get new scripts That's the same script that they were using when they're in government It it didn't work then and it's not going to work now if they want to talk about previous governments Let's talk about the failures of the last government the liberal government that has now been reduced to seven seats across the province of Ontario because the people said they want change and Doug Ford and the pc party have brought that change as Be very very clear Our premier has made it make no mistake about it Transit under this government will get all the due attention it deserves because we understand That if you can't move people and if you can't move goods your economy will suffer We've seen what neglect has done under the previous government.

My question is to the premier Community members of rock cliff neighborhood in my riding of york southwest are angry They are angry because san helen meat park is limited will be building a factory in their community They are also hurt because their concerns have have been ignored in the process Instead of a long waited park being constructed in the community. The lot was sold through a closed door Close door Beading process now there will be no chance to modernize the area That means no stores. No small businesses or even a park The conservative government brides itself on being a transparent So my question is will this government stand beside the rock cliff community and ensure that this Backdoor deal is stopped or will it sigh with big businesses? Thank you speaker and to the honorable member Certainly, we'd be very interested in learning more details about this case I'm not sure whether any government ministry is actually involved at this time. Perhaps you could let us know during the supplementary Certainly work with you and get back to you And answer your questions fully to the satisfaction. Hopefully of yourselves and your constituents Please send us more information supplementary Yes The construction of sandhill and meat parkers limited factory will compromise the rock cliff community to be clear the meat parking factory Is expected to to build to be built across this street from not one but two schools Rockcliffe middle school and frank oak public school It not only puts the health of young kids at risk But but the land also has a history of flooding and there are concerns that paving it over the increases that risk Mr. Speaker rock cliff resident deserves better They should not have a factory factory tracks driving past their homes and their schools on constant spaces and risking Contamination of our community's air water and salt.

Thank you, mr. Speaker Question the member for Durham Good morning, mr. Speaker. My question is to the president of the treasury board Mr. Speaker, we know that ontario has one of the largest debts of all subnational jurisdictions in the world And and our debt is almost equal to that of bc alberta and kebek combined This is the true legacy of the mismanagement of the previous liberal government For people for families in the riding of durham the state of the province's finances Are deeply concerning Would the president of the treasury board please inform us of the steps our government is taking To clean up the mess left by the previous liberal government And restore respect for taxpayers in durham and province wide Thank you, mr. Speaker, and thank you for the member from the great riding durham for that question Mr. Speaker, this government is motivated by deep desire to set our province and our economy on a more efficient and sustainable path That is why we have embarked on a line by line audit of the province's books In the 15 years that the previous liberal government was in power the average per capita debt increased By and you won't believe this $10,614 What kind of legacy is that for future generations? Mr. Speaker the on the people of ontario deserve answers A comprehensive line by line audit of government spending will fulfill that commitment The era of obfuscation is over the era of accountability is back my colleagues promise made Thank you, mr. Speaker and please extend my thanks to the minister for his response We know that immediate action must be taken to open up the books in this province Under the previous government our debt ballooned to 311 billion dollars And our credit rating was downgraded multiple times Families in Durham are working hard and paying more than ever They tell me that they want to change from the previous government who wasted hard-earned money and spent our tax dollars On schemes that benefited political elites Would the president of the treasury board, please give us more details on how the line by line audit will bring this change Thank you, mr. Speaker and again to the member for that question Mr. Speaker our government is taking immediate steps to restore public trust And that is why the line by line review is first and foremost an efficiency exercise We're looking at all ways. We're spending money The results of the line by line review will be used to develop a responsible plan to achieve efficiencies and deliver results for taxpayers The entire point of this exercise is to ensure the sustainability of government services The legacy on that side of the house mr. Speaker is one of indebtedness for the next generation On this side of the house mr.

Workers and ensure that thunder bay can rely on the quality health care. It needs. Thank you Thank you The minister of health and locker here Well, thank you very much for the question I do Appreciate this is a serious situation We want to make sure that everyone in ontario has access to the health care services that they need Having said that as the member knows the ministry is not a party to these negotiations But we do encourage that both sides to get together To try and resolve this in the interest of the people of thunder bay area to make sure they receive the care Services that they need. I know that everyone is concentrating on the Best interests of the people in the community and we look forward hopefully to a quick resolution Member for Cambridge May I offer you my congratulations to your election to the chair My question is to the minister of community safety and correctional services Mental health is an issue that affects many of those within this province Including many of the provinces first responders I was proud to see that our government for the people has taken the initiative to put forward the necessary funding For improving access to mental health supports throughout the province With our government's commitment, we will be able to help those affected by mental health Including many of our first responders Mr. Speaker could the minister of community safety and correctional services Please update the members of this legislature on what the ministry Will do to offer more support for our province's first responders Minister of community safety and correctional services Thank you, mr. Speaker And I first like to thank the member from Cambridge for her question in the legislature here today to congratulate her On her election as the MPP for Cambridge I know the member is an excellent representative for her constituents and I wish her continued success here in the legislature Addressing better access to mental health supports is an important issue that I have advocated for more than 15 years Before serving as minister We know our frontline officers deserve more and our government will remain committed to providing the men and women Of our police services with the resources and tools they require to keep communities throughout the province safe One of the issues discussed recently in a meeting between the premier minister bill Blair Mayor Tory and chief Saunders was mental health and the need for supports It's why our government is investing 1.9 billion dollars matched by the federal government into mental health care We're committed to helping our frontline officers and we will remain committed to helping them. Thank you Again, my question is to the minister of community safety and correctional services Thank you for your kind remarks. I am proud of the trust that the people of Cambridge have placed in me Thank you very much for your update on the mental health supports for our first responders It is great to see the government for the people Respecting our first responders and acknowledging the incredible job They perform day in and day out to ensure that Ontario's many communities are safe Over the past 15 years we witnessed the previous government fail To address the mental health of our first responders. Mr. Speaker Could the minister of community safety and correctional services Please explain what tools and resources will be required to keep our frontline officers safe Thank you. Once again, Mr. Speaker and thank you for the supplemental question Our party has not only committed to providing our frontline officers with the tools and resources they require But we'll also continue to remain true to our commitment of improving access to mental health supports throughout this province Mental health is an issue that affects many Ontarians and this government acknowledges That something must be done and done soon Our government has been clear on this issue and will continue to support the many men and women who perform their duties To keep our streets safe We will review the pilot projects across the province and see which are working Through our mental health commitment for our frontline officers We'll make sure that they get the help they need and are able to provide the services We need them to provide. Thank you Member from London West Thank you. My question is for the premier Speaker the middle sex london health unit has requested a six month extension for london's temporary overdose prevention site or tops To keep the site operating until the permanent supervised consumption facility is in place The temporary site was approved in february for a six month period and has already made a huge impact in reducing the number of overdose deaths in london Not only has the site saved lives by reversing overdoses It has also referred almost 100 clients to other services such as addictions treatment mental health counseling and supportive housing Speaker will the premier approve the extension of the temporary site and allow tops to continue providing life-saving care to some of london's most vulnerable and marginalized populations Mr. Health thank you very much, mr. Speaker and thank you to the member for the question We are committed to fighting the ongoing opioid and other drug crisis and get people struggling with the addiction The help that they need we are currently reviewing the latest data Evidence and current supervised consumption sites and overdose prevention site models Premier Ford was clear during the election that he will listen to the experts and committed 1.9 billion dollars To mental health and addictions programs services and housing as to master the 1.9 billion committed by the federal government And we are doing that right now. We are listening. We are listening to the evidence We want to make sure that we get this right. We are listening to the evidence and that decision will be made in the near future Thank you speaker I think premier ford was clear during the election that he was dead against overdose prevention sites Even as the number of opioid related deaths in ontario continues to rise Last year across the country 4,000 people died because of opioid poisoning compared to 3,000 the year before in my community of london We have the third highest rate of hospitalizations due to opioid poisoning in canada the second highest in ontario Not only will keeping the temporary site open save lives It will also help reduce some of the pressure on our hospital emergency room Speaker will the premier make a decision based on solid research and evidence of harm reduction Or will he ignore the recommendations of public health experts and reject the request to keep the site open Clarify premier ford's position on this issue and the position of our party Subsequent to the announcement that you referenced in your question Premier ford did say that he wants to listen to the evidence learn about the evidence and make a decision Based on the evidence and that is what we're doing right now as part of our overall mental health and addictions Process in developing a comprehensive strategy. We are taking a look at the supervised injection sites and overdose prevention site models We want to make sure that we get it right This is a big decision to make to continue and to open more if we need to have more We are listening to the experts. We're listening to the canadian mental health association Children's mental health ontario addictions in mental health ontario to finally develop a comprehensive strategy For mental health and addiction in this province including the supervised injection sites and overdose prevention site models Next questions restart the clock member for king vaughn Thank you, mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker this question is for the minister of finance Mr. Speaker after 15 long years of economic stagnation the people of this province in their judgment chose change Mr. Speaker they chose change for working families They chose change for our industry in small business and mr. Speaker they chose change for the people of this province While I know that change irks the members of the third party They should come to appreciate the humility of being given seven seeds in this legislature Mr. Speaker after after a decade of economic darkness in this province the people want government to restore public trust Minister, could you explain why it is so important? We end the party with the taxpayer and get this inquiry of commission done Mr. Finance Thank you very much to the member for the question. This Commission of financial inquiry is all about restoring trust with the people of ontario these are Very very important steps that premier ford is taking to clean up ontario's finances speaker I want to refer to some specific language from both the financial accountability officer And the auditor general in both our public accounts and the fao reports He's referring to the former liberal government's books. They are called unreliable The word distort is there conceal deceptive obstructive Unlikely assumptions significantly understated inappropriate Speaker, they ended with the accounting is bogus. That is why we're doing a commission of financial documentary Thank you, mr. Speaker and thank you to the minister of finance for explaining why we need to move forward with this level of Accountability, mr. Speaker the province needs trust in government after 15 years of lying and duplicity by the former liberal government Absolutely out of order. I would ask the member to withdraw draw after 15 years Mr. Speaker duplicity by the former government. It is so clear that we need the There is you you can't utter unparliamentary comments member will withdraw again withdraw mr.

I'm John Schmid. I'm a Sergeant Gun Section Leader with 3-2 Leeman Company. The name of this exercise is the Regimental Assault Course. Basically, we implement ourselves alongside of tanks, AVs, CAT, and ourselves to do an offense and a defense, practicing strategic planning, integrating ourselves with one another and working with each other, along with the friction that comes with that, taking on the enemy of a Brigade of Armor to stop them and counterattack.


So today is a big day for Project Stadia, so Project Stadia, Interpol and the National Center for Spectator Sports Safety and Security have signed an agreement with Qatar to begin training for building police capacity for the World Cup 2022. So the legacy begins. So what that means for Qatar is that we will be training the policemen and incident teams in preparation for the World Cup in safety and security. We have began this project about three and a half years ago. We did a needs assessment to see what the needs were and the gaps were in the security. We took those gaps and created six courses with the benefit of our research, the benefit of experts in the world to develop these courses. These courses then will help bring training capacity to operational aspects, learning such aspects as better evacuation management, leadership, decision making, incident management. Many, many of the competencies needed to have a successful World Cup in safety and security.


I'm going to talk about one of the challenges that we have in the domain of the LibreOffice in terms of getting a help language that could help users and keep a lot of requirements in maintaining documentation and synchronize it with the developments. My name is Olivier. I am from the Document Foundation. I have been involved in LibreOffice since the beginning. I live in Brazil, which is quite hot at the moment, 42 degrees, and I'm also the translator for Brazilian Portuguese. So I handle not only the generation of documentation, but also the issue of translating the documentation. What we have is that why we need a help language, because historically the developers don't like to make documentations. So essentially, in our culture, in LibreOffice, everybody writes code but doesn't like to write documentation. So sometimes we have a lot of new features without documentation, and this is something that we need to fix. The gap between the features and the help is widening. We are working to make it as narrow as possible, but it's always very hard. And the speed of development is much faster than the possibility of generating documentation, especially because in our environment, documentation is done by volunteers. So coupling the help pages and the user interface elements is a challenge. The user interface of an application like LibreOffice is extremely extensive. We have more than 1,000 dialogues. We have a span of application that goes from spreadsheets, text documents, presentations, drawing, math equations, and databases. So it's a very broad scope of application. And we try to focus on user experience because user experience is very important for us, for the acceptance of software. So basically, what we want to achieve is sort of a help language or XML, maybe XML or whatever, markdown, as open as possible, so no way to use closed tools or paid tools or proprietary tools. Flexible that allows specific situations such as translations has to be precise because essentially the help that we have in LibreOffice is also some form of a reference for regressions and feature descriptions. We would like, and this is one of the main issues, is to be contributor friendly. Today it's not contributor friendly because we have a cycle of development that includes the help pages into Git. And this is not very easy for the newcomers. And keep the pace of development. That means don't let this gap widen. Very well. So basically, the specific of LibreOffice help, it's an application with a broad scope, as I said. All the modules are tightly co-plated. I mean, we don't have a spreadsheet application. We don't have a text document application. This is all integrated into a big application with several modules. We have a legacy XML which is inherited from OpenOffice. The help that we have at the moment is above 500,000 words, which makes a book as thick as this one. We have to maintain and keep alive. It's mostly textual and few images. There is not multimedia at the moment, but the idea is to extend that for including new forms of communication between the help and the user. And we have a translation process in place that works. That means LibreOffice is translated into about 100 languages. So we need to address the translation. We do that, which also means that it's very hard for us to change the process in place, because we are touching about 100 teams of translators. And when we do a mistake, times 100, that makes a lot of noise. So this is what the challenge that we have. And what we do propose with what we have is that we have a set of XML and namespace that we want to improve for describing the menu path, the widgets, screenshots of the dialogues, describe icons and toolbars, includes multimedia, address the guide for the user and not only references, and also do indexing and search and save the translation work. So at the moment, only half of these specifications are already working, and we have others to address. For example, in the menu, the menus in the application are described by an XML, and we would like to have these menu paths describing the textual help directly taken from the application. So we should use a transformation that picks the XML of the menus and the commands and put into the help directly. So if we change the position of these menus, automatically your help will change as well. This is one of the challenge that we have. The same for the widgets of the dialogues, for example, not only we have to take the widget itself, the representation of the widget, but also its contents, which has to be translated. So again, we can use the dialogues XML, which is something used by GTK. The dialogues are in a GTK language, and to bring that into the helper pages. Icons and toolbars, we have to describe the icons and toolbars for improvements on the icon designs. On the last couple of years, we had a lot of discussion in LibreOffice design team. There is quite new icons coming, icon sets. So the interface may appear different from you, from one user to the other, depending on the set of icons that you use. And this has to be also covered by the help application. The screenshots, we would like to, we have already screenshots done by simple copy of the screen, which is in an automated process. But it would be nice to have it also using the XML to generate the image. Images is already implemented, so no problem there. And also we have some issues or problems to address, which means our system, our application runs on Mac, Windows and Unix. And depending on the system, you have some features implemented on Mac, which is not implemented on Windows. Very few of them, not that much, but nevertheless, we have to address this difference between the systems. We have also inline context switches or block contents switches. For the visual part, we are implementing a specific text to describe Python code and basic codes and also code in general and icons specifically to icon tables. When it comes to tips, notes and warnings, this is already done. It's quite easy to just address the CSS. But it's the way that we have also to enhance the layout of our pages. For everything like that, we also have character set, character classes for specific contents of the description on the helper pages, such as literal information. It's something that allows us to click on a class input and then it copies to the clipboard so you can, if you have a code or a spreadsheet formula, you can just copy the formula and look at it working directly in the application. This is for better user experience. Widgets, I told, I already talked about, menus and key codes also for all the keyboard codes that we have in the application. We develop also an online editor. This is the very first pre-alpha display. We have the XML of our editor. Some of these blocks can be automated. Then we also can render the content of the page immediately after we edit here. You edit here, you click on render and it displays the page there. Our help system is a sub-module in Git. So every time we change the XML, we have to create a commit and push to get it. It's going to be reviewed by someone. You can imagine that reviewing XML is not something easy. It's quite complicated. So we are trying to connect this kind of editor, which this is just code mirror, okay, a very well-known JavaScript editor. And it's the same as Garret, so we expect to be able to edit directly the pages in Garret and get the results and submit the patch automatically. And we would like to avoid all the work that today volunteers have, which means download the code, compile the code, compile the help, check if the change is correct, and then generate a patch and push to the... So this cycle is extremely lengthy and it takes a lot of time for us. For me, who is killed, it takes at least one hour to generate all the stuff, okay? Then what's next? It is an interest to investigate then the XML transformations for dialogs, menus, and toolbars. We also would like to converge the help with these existing open document guides, which is a project we call Conventions. We have guides that has been written by volunteers, for example, on spreadsheet. The spreadsheet guide is a book with 400 pages. And we would like also that this kind of information be available in the help system of our library office, okay? And we are open to suggestion and collaboration. And if you want to join us, please go ahead. We are eager to get you. One thing that is important to say is that our help system is either offline and online, which means that today we have this XML. We do a transformation to HTML, and this HTML can be uploaded to a server, or it can be also deployed as a package for offline use, and it's exactly the same layout, okay? So this is a constraint that we have. So it's not so easy just to generate a server installation. You have to also pack the HTML into a package. The other thing is that we have about 2,500 files per language, and it generates about something like 500 megabytes of help contents per language. So it's pretty heavy application that we have. The traffic that we have on our online service is about 60,000 visits a day of people looking for help when they use the application. So that's the context that we have and the challenge that we are addressing ahead. We cannot use throw away all legacy contents, so using a brand new tool like I have seen here is very nice, but how can I address all this legacy, especially not only the legacy on English, but also the legacy on the translations, which it's about 100 translations, so it has to be something smooth for us if we have to get something different from that. So at the moment, this is not the main or vision. We expect to simplify and get it easier for the people to really help us in documenting the application, okay? That's my presentation. If you have questions, please. Yes? Are you familiar with the DITA project, the DITA standard? No. Darwin Information Type Architecture. It's an XML language for documentation. Okay. It's huge. There's a really big community. It stands for Darwin because it's adaptable, so you can take the standard that has all of this that you're defining and make your own specialization, and then you would be able to use their tooling. And they have an open source tool called the Open Toolkit that allows you to generate a bunch of things. Yeah. It's mostly proprietary community, but it's an open standard, and it would be super awesome to get open source community into that, if I can introduce you to it. Yeah.  And moving away, it's not that we really have to make a decision, and if something is easier, then I'm interested, at least. But if it's not necessarily easier, there's more to it. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. It's also XML, so. Okay. Yeah. But there's a community, mostly proprietary vendors, they're using an open standard together, and there's a lot of interest for open source tooling, so there would be much made it happen. Oh, perfect. Yeah. I actually have a question as well. When you generate the screenshots, you generate them per platform, and I think it does mac and minnows. You can generate the screenshots on every platform. But you automate them. It's not yet automated. I mean, I do make screenshots in my builds, and it generated the screen starts to flicker because it opens all the thousands dialogues and takes the screenshots. So they run locally, not on CDI? Yes. So. And yes, then you have to connect the screenshot, the image, with the dialogue, and with the help page corresponding. So it's, this is not yet automated. Okay. Yes. Yes. Well. Is that the bottom line? No. The translation is done by volunteers in every language. We have used to have a leader and a team, and they handle themselves the, I mean, each release that we have, and we have two release per year, we publish the help. 99% of the help of the new release is exactly the same as the previous. So there is only the delta, the difference that is being addressed. And then the translators, the team of translators, the locally is in charge of keeping the translation synchronized with the help in English. This then, then the user of their language will suffer because they were not addressing. Yeah. Yeah. No. No. This is because this is a volunteer project. It's not, there is no specific investment by the foundation into generating professional documentation. Okay. It's, it's the board. This is a decision with the board of the foundation.  If a company wants to take the code and improve it by, by themselves, they are free to do that. Okay. So at the moment, we generate the, the content of the help in a volunteer basis. The foundation doesn't invest in, oh, this is not me. Okay. Any questions? Thank you very much. Yeah. Thank you. Yeah. There is another track right there. Yes. With a lot of new things. We'll be back again in about eight minutes with a Smackdown. I'm a huge fan of Pandoc and this next week you want to tell me why I shouldn't be. Sure.

That is جهلات It's not جهل جهلات Many ignorance It's a compounded ignorance But the way that the person should stop that evil My beloved brothers and sisters Is to be riftqi with tendence And gentleness عبد الله يبلمغفل رضي الله تعالى عنه He said إن الله تعالى رفق Allah is gentle يحب رفق الله love gentleness ويُعطي عليه مالا يُعطي على العنفي And Allah gives A person a lot in gentleness That which he doesn't give to the one Who's harsh and tough Abu Dawood narrated this So that the person should show Gentleness in the way that they call والله you have to understand That the person that you're talking to Is not worse than Pharaoh And you're not better than The Nabilah Musa And Allah said to the Nabilah Nabilah Musa And he said to him Allah said to Musa فقولا له قولا ليينا لعله يتذكرع ويخشام Musa When you're speaking to Pharaoh A man who said I am ilah Speak to him in a very gentle way This is Nabilah Musa and Harun So you're not better than Musa and Harun And the person that you're talking to Is not worse than Pharaoh Is not worse than فرعون So when you speak to that individual Be gentle in your speech As the prophet told us ويعطي عليه مالا يعطي علين عنف Allah is going to give you through your gentleness That which you won't give to you If you're harsh and tough And a group of people because of their ignorance And their جهل of the Deen And them not having بقصد الإصلاح They truly don't want to rectify the situation They only choose the harshest of ways and manners They choose the most toughest And the most roughest manner In rectifying a situation The reason they do that Is because they don't have قصد الإصلاح They don't really want to change anything They just want to belittle the person They just want to ridicule the person And as we said The person that you're talking to Is not worse than فرعون And Allah told us to speak to فرعون In what?

In a soft manner شيخو الإسلامي بن تيمي Said a very powerful قاعدة He said فَا يُقُتَّنَ عُبِل خَيْرِ الْيَسِيرِ إذا لم يحسل الكثير شيخو الإسلامي بن تيمي Said We become content with a little good If we're unable to attain the great good And we repel the great evil Even if we have to stay in little evil We repel the greater evil Even if it entails And it leads us to stay in a small evil Because he says Allah sent the messengers والله تعالى باعة الرسولة بتحصيل المصالح وتقليلها Because Allah sent the messengers with what? Bringing about good And completing it وطعطيل المفاصد والتقليلها And repelling evil or lessening it When the Prophet ﷺ داع الخلق And the Prophet ﷺ He called the creation بغاية الإمكان According to the greatest of his ability Pay attention We will be content with small good If we're unable to attain the great good And we'll also repel the great harm If that entails That we will live and dwell inside the less harm Because Allah ﷺ He sent the Prophet with what? With what? بتحصيل المصالح وتكميلها ودر المفاصد وتقليلها Which is a qa'id قواعد من قواعد الفقية We bring about good And if we can complete it We want to complete it But if we can't We'll take the minimum done And we will repel the greater evil We will repel it In its totality And if we can't Then we will lessen it at least We will lessen it at least So that's what we need to always remember That is what we always need to remember When we're trying to call others تحصيل المصالح وتكميلها ودر المفاصد وتقليلها Some people They don't care what they're doing And it brings about more chaos And more catastrophe ما يالله سبحانه وتعالى Make us those who are Those who have They give their دعوة امر بالمعروف انه يعني المنكر With the عل And riff And they come with patience And they make sure That they have the intention of And it's a rectification of the situation And bringing about some good القاعدة الثامنة عشرة The 18th قاعدة is ويدعونا كل من تصدى للأمر بالمعروف وانهي عن المنكر إلى اعتبار المصالح والمفاصد بميزان الشريعة ويدعونا They call أهل السنة Everybody أهل السنة والجماعة They call everybody Who's doing أمر بالمعروف وانهي عن المنكر Anyone who's calling to good And anyone who's prohibiting evil أهل السنة والجماعة Come to these people And they tell them to observe The مصالح The good And the evil But all of that In accordance to the sharia Are you with me? أهل السنة والجماعة When he comes أمر بالمعروف وانهي عن المنكر They are the ones Who observe المصالح والمفاصد And they make Others also do the same They make The people Who are giving دعوة Observe The مصالح And the مفاصد Sisters and brothers I want you to understand this point When you're looking At the مصالح And the مفاصد بميزاني أش Do you look at it With watch scale بميزاني الشرع Some people today They will say to you أخي It's not مصالحة For us to speak about this issue And what مصالحة Is he talking about?

Because their idols Are not gods So if you do insult Their idols Which is not a god It's not a bigger problem It's not a big problem But they are going to really They are really going to insult A real god The only one God Which is a greater problem So we are told To not insult their gods Because if we do They are going to insult Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala And that is observing In the what? The Masalih And the Mafasid بمزال الشرع This is going to bring A religious problem So stay away from it Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala He says وما مناعنا Allah says Nothing stopped us Nothing stopped us And we sent By the signs That we send Signs With the messages إلا أن كذب بها الأولون Except that the early generations Disbelieved In other words Other prophets Would come with what? نبي الله مثل Allah said وآتين ثمودا ناقة مبصيرة فضلموا بها وما نرسل By the signs إلا تقيفا Pay attention نبي الله The people of Thamud أه? The people of Thamud Allah would really give them And Naqa right? Allah gave them And Naqa And Sheekamul What did they do? They cut the The foot What's it called here? Huh? What's this part of the leg called? The Hekilis Hekilis That reminds me of something I don't want to say it They cut that off from him When they cut it He died What did Allah do? He destroyed them And they disbelieved in the prophets They mocked the prophets They were laughing at the animals and everything And whenever when the prophets came with the signs They weren't taking it So Allah says وما منعنا أن نرسل بالآيات إلا أن كذب بها الأولون وآتين ثمودا ناقة مبصيرة فضلموا بها وما نرسل بالآيات إلا تقيفا Now when we send signs We're sending it to punishment So Allah is saying The reason why we stopped doing that Is because it's going to lead to a bigger problem Because once we bring those signs If they don't believe It's going to be an overrule Punishment The whole nation has to be destroyed Because they don't believe Are you with me brothers? But that's a big problem So the sign is not given to them now The Sharia observe those things و لذلك The Prophet ﷺ ستعائش رضي الله تعالى عنها He sat her لولا أن قومك حديث عهدي بجاهيلية لأنفقت كنز الكعبة في سبيل الله ولا جعلت بابها بالأرض ولا أدخلت فيها من الحجري The Prophet ﷺ ستعائشها If your people were not new into Islam They just entered into Islam لهادمت الكعبة ولا بنيتها على أساس إبراهيم I would have destroyed the Ka'bah And I would have built it I would have changed the Because look at the Ka'bah today How's the Ka'bah? Is it like this? The way Ibrahim is? Why? Because there's a part of the Ka'bah That's still You know that part We're not allowed to pray in the Salat Have you seen it? It's built like this It's like a Khoshu Have you seen that part? That's actually meant to be part of the Ka'bah You know that, right? Are you with me? That's meant to be part of that? It's actually meant to be part of the Ka'bah But the Prophet ﷺ said If I now tamper with that The people are going to be like Look at what Muhammad is doing And it's going to cause a bigger problem So the Prophet ﷺ left it Till today it's still the same It got changed in one time in Islamic history And then it got destroyed back to how it was again Also when the منافقين The story of the منافقين The Prophet ﷺ What did they say to him?  And what did he say? لا يتحدث الناس I don't want the people to talk about أن محمد يقتل أصحابه If the Prophet kills the منافقين What's going to happen?  That's the perception of the people The Prophet ﷺ took the people's perception Into consideration And that's why sometimes you find A brother who just got married He's newly married He hasn't really announced his marriage To everybody yet Has it made it that public And then he's walking around With a woman holding her hand What's that going to make the people say? وَرْنِكِ وَهَاَ اللَّهَا بِي The guys become bad What's happened to him? إِنَّا لِلَّهُ وَإِنَّا لَا رَجَعُونَ He's got a girlfriend and a brother That's what they're going to say, right? وَلِذَا لِكَدَّ مَسْنجَا بَالْلَا سَلَّ اللَّهَا عَلَيُسَنْ When he walked out of the Masjid And then the two companions They walked fast The Prophet said to the companions أَلَا رِسْلِكُمَا Walk slow, walk slow This is my wife إِنَّا سَفِيَا بِنْتُحُرِيَي This is my wife, Safiya They said, Ya Rasoolallah We didn't ever think anything bad of you He said إنَّا الشيطان يَجْلِ مِنِبْنَا آدمِ مَجْرَدَّم Shaytan runs in the person Like the blood runs in the veins So what the Prophet ﷺ was teaching them What's that? This is my wife And scholars, they take from this That whenever something happens to you Say, clarify it Don't let people be bugled If you see somebody looking like in an awkward way Tell them your situation صح? Are you with me brothers? Don't let people think bad of you And let them still stay in that bad thought of you So this قاعد is important Which is إعتبار المصالح والمفاصد Observing the مصالح and the مفاصد بميزان الشرع The Khawarij and ISIS and groups like that What do they say? They say, مصالح and the Mefasid is what? It's a Tahrut That's what they say They call it a Tahrut They don't want to observe Today we want to observe مصالح and the Mefasid No, so they call everything that they want to like They call it a Tahrut المصالح and the Mefasid And the Tahrut That's the religion of Allah That's the religion of Allah No. 19 No. 19 أنهم يعتقدون أهل السنة والجماعة Believe أن الجهادة فريضة جهادة is obligatory أهل السنة believe this ماضية I will carry on إلى قيام الساعة until the day of judgment أهل السنة والجماعة Believe جهادة And they believe that the جهادة will carry on until the day of judgment صح؟ Are you with me brothers? Does that make sense? أهل السنة والجماعة Believe that And they believe it's going to carry on until the day of judgment And أهل السنة والجماعة Believe جهادة happens through what? بالقلبي in the heart والدعوة It happens through دعوة It happens through establishing proofs Bringing arguments Okay It comes through physically fighting against the منافقين and the كفار Also by money جهادة happens All of those أهل السنة والجماعة Believe there are forms of jihad They're not apologetic about it They don't rub out jihad from their religion They believe it exists They believe جهادة festival starts with with a tongue And establish in the proof first And that's where it starts from And it happens with the sword With conditions that they stipulate Conditions The first condition that they mention Is that أن يكون القصد منه ودافع له إعلاء كلمة الله That the purpose The main objective of why they are fighting In the cause of Allah is what? For Allah is where to be high As the Hadith narrated من قاتل anyone who fight لتكون كلمة الله هي العليا فهو في سبيل الله Anyone who fights For the word of Allah to be high Then that person is fighting for what?  How?  و لذلك الله said to the believers in the Quran يا إيه الذين آمنوا لما تقولون ما لا تفعلون كابرة مقتن عند الله أن تقولوا ما لا تفعلون إن الله يحب الذين يقاتلون في سبيله صفن كأنه بنيان مرصوص But before that what did he mention? Why are you not implementing what you know? Why are you not coming with righteous actions? Then after that Allah says الله يحب الذين يقاتلون في سبيل الله So fighting comes after You implement the knowledge that you know The third is The person has to be ready Military wise The Muslims don't fight with rocks Against a tank It's a joke It doesn't happen anywhere They have to be physically ready Military ready If not then there's a condition missing And if there's a condition missing for prayer Can you pray the Salah? No, these are prerequisites They have to be in place Or else it doesn't exist And Allah told us to get ready What did he say? وَاَعِدُواْ لَهُمَّ أَصْتَطَعْتُمْ مِنْ قُوَّةِ وَمِنْ رِبَاطِ الْخَيْرِ تُرْهِدْبُونَ بِيَ عَدُوَ اللَّهِ وَعَدُوَكُمْ So we were told to prepare Physically, military wise So the believers have to be like that The fourth condition is اجتماع المسلمين And the Muslims have to unite على إمام يقودهم There has to be a Muslim leader There has to be a what? There has to be a Muslim leader Who is running the battle There's no phoba It can't be all over the place Are you with me brothers? There has to be a leader running the project The program That's what Allah SWT said ألم ترى إلى الملأ من بني إسرائيل من بعد موسى إذ قالوا لنبيه الله مبعث لنا ملكا النقاتل في سبيل الله قالها العسيط من كتب عليكم القتال أن لا تقاتلوا قالوا وما لنا أن لا نقاتل في سبيل الله وقد اخرجنا من ديارنا وابناءنا فلما كتب عليهم القتال تولو إلا قليلا منهم والله عليم بالظالمين So this ayah الله سبحانه وتعاله سيز ألم ترى اوعي وأن الله سبحانه وتعالى من بني إسرائيلة من بني إسرائيلة من بعد موسى أفتن بله موسى إذ قالوا لنبيه ifOpen كانوا يكتبون لنا بي في مجموعة ، لهم يبعث لنا ملكن ، لدينا مكان لنا ملكن نقاة الفيسبيلس ، يمكننا to fight in the cause of Allah لذا يجب علينا ملكن ، يجب علينا to be in charge of our fight لذا يمكننا to fight under أيضًا الله سبحانه وتعالى يقول في the process الله سبحانه وتعالى يقول في the process الإمام الجنة ، أن الإمام is a shield يقاتل من ورائه ويتقابه الإمام is a juna, he's a shield يقاتل من ورائه so without an Imam there's no shield for the Muslims all of those are all of those are as for jihad where is that the Muslims have to defend their lives then this messalah it differs فإن الحكمه يختلف it's ruling differs and it differs in accordance to the situation though and مصالحة المفاصد and matters pertaining to that are looked at my beloved brothers and sisters will never like عيسة fight يقاتل من ورائه يقاتل من ورائه يقاتل من ورائه عيسة من ورائه I'm going to fight them when he comes the day of judgment at the end of time عيسة is he going to fight them what is he going to do he's going to go into a why why is he going to go to a mountain he's unable to fight he hasn't got the ability so if the Muslims don't have the ability to fight they don't fight somebody will say to you look at you guys you're against جيهد في سبيل الله that's what you're against it's like somebody saying to you it's not salat time and you say you hate the salat that's the summary of it it's like saying to somebody it's not salat time the salat time hasn't entered and you say والله you hate دهور والله you hate عصر and مغرب and عشة that's what it is that's the irony of it القاعدة العشرون and the 20th قاعدة and the final قاعدة is ويؤمنون بمدل علي القرآن من سنة الله الكونية القدرية في قول الله تعالى إي يمسسكم قرح فقد مسى القوم قرح مثله وتلك الأيام نداولها بين الناس وليعلم الله الذين آمن ويتخدميكم شهداء والله لا يحب الظالمين they believe that which the Quran shows and the sunnah they believe in the universal science and they believe in the predestinies that Allah has set أهل السنة believe that we believe أهل السنة that maybe today we are not the upper hand as Muslims maybe the enemies of Islam are stronger than us today maybe they got the upper hand but what we believe is إي يمسسكم قرح if pain has touched us today فقد مسى القوم قرح مثله the enemies pain has touched them once before وتلك الأيام نداولها بين الناس and the days will be turned and swapped between the groups one day you've got the upper hand and one day they've got the upper hand وتلك الأيام نداولها بين الناس وليعلم الله and Allah knows الذين آمن those of you who believe ويتخدميكم شهداء and the reason why Allah is making you guys lose all Muslims sometimes is to bring out of you guys martyrs ويتخيل منكم شهداء والله لا يحب ظالمين and Allah does not like the transgressors الله does not like the transgressors and the context of that verse is in Surah 2 أَلْعِمْرَانَ ay 139 to ay 144 الله says وَلَا تَهِينُوا وَلَا تَحْزَلُوا وَأَأْتُمُوا الْأَعْلَونَ إِي كُونْتُم مُؤمنين إي يمسسكم قرح فقد مسى القوم قرح مثله وتلك الأيام نداولها بين الناس وليعلم الله الذين آمن ويتخدميكم شهداء والله لا يحب الظالمين وليمحص الله الذين آمن ويمحق الكافرين أم حسبتم أن تدخل الجنة ولما يعلم الله الذين جاهدوا منكم ويعلم الصابرين ولقد كنتم تمنون الموتم قبل أن تلقوه فقد رأيتم وهو أنتم تنظرون وما محمد إلا رسول قد خلت قبله الرسول أف إما تأوقت قلبتم على أعقابكم ومن ينقلب على عقبه فلا يضر الله شيئا وسيجز اللام الشاكرين الله يقول ولا تهينوا ولا تحزنوا لا يجبون أن يجبون ولا تشعروا سعيدة ومدعون وما أنتم وإذن أنتم أنتم أنتم سيبا سيبريم أموال أموال وكنتم أموال ولكن هذه تفكير أنت فأنتم يجبون لا تقلوا لا تخافوا لا تشعروا فالله يقول إن يمسسكم قرحون إذا كانت تشعرون اليوم وانت تشعرون لأتكلموا not even one not even how for but a but so how so so how so so so how so so so how so so how so how so so how وليعلم الله الذي ينقذه. ومن الموضوع الذي يفعله هو أن يتعرف من يكون أبليفه. ومن يكون أبليفه بايمان. ويتخيل منكم شهداء. ويأتي منكم ماتيز. وانت تعرفون المدينة من ماتا. والله لا يحب الظالمين. والله لا يحب الظالمين. وليومحسا. الله يريد أن يساعد ويقوم بايمان. والله يريد أن يتخيل. ويمحق الكافرين. الله يريد أن يتخيل ويقوم بايمان. ويتخيل المدينة منهم. ويأتي منهم. الله يقول to the companions and the believers. هل تعتقد أنك؟ ويأتي من جنة جنة. ولما يعلم الله الذي جاهد منكم. والله سبحانه وتعالى hasn made it clear the one who is fighting in his cause. ويعلم الصابرين and the one who is sincere in his patience. والله سبحانه وتعالى وقد كنتم. وقد كنتم تمنونة الموت. وكنتم يتكلم أنك تنتهي من جهاد. وكنتم تريد أن يقوم بايمان. وكنتم تنظر إلى هذا. من قبل أن تلقو before you met the bad enemies. وكنتم تنظر للموت. فقد رأيته موت. وانتم تنظرون. وما محمد النبي الله محمد isn't. إلا رسوله except a messenger. قد خلت من قبله الرسول. ومسجل،사وره يريد. يوجد استهالي. ورسوله يريد. رسوله يرجع يرجع. ورسوله يرجع. أولاً، إذا كنتم تنظر إلى أمامك. وكنتم تنظر إلى أمامك. وكنتم تنظر إلى أمامك. وما أنت تتُلقوك؟ أمامك هو أمامك. ومقلت أن تصبحت فيه. ويأتي إلى قبلك. والسيجزي الله الشاكرين اللهم سيكون في طريقة فرحة سيكون لتحديث أحد who show gratitude فإن شاء الله تعالى سوف نكمل with that amount for today إن شاء الله تعالى أي شيء which I have said that was wrong or incorrect is from me and Shaytan and that his messenger are free from it سبحانك اللهم وبحمدك أشدوا الله إله إلا الله أستغفرواك وأتوب إليه
