There's a common saying this has been years ago and when I started my business, that you should charge what you are worth. Charge what you're worth. It sounds good, right? I mean, why wouldn't you charge what you're worth?   These terms all have this foundational assumption that your worth or your self-esteem is connected to your rates or your fees. I think it's a very dangerous assumption and I'm calling it out. I'm bringing forth to light because I needed to really look at this in order to find a way to price my services that felt authentic and sustainable and disassociated with my self-worth because, hey, if someone charges five times more than you, are they worth more than you? Now, you might say, well, their bank account is worth more than my bank account. Fine. Their time seems to be worth more in the market than my time. Fine. It's so dangerous and it creates an unhealthy dynamic between your pricing, your customers, and how you think of yourself when you start thinking, oh, as I, you know, someone who charges more is worth more. Even to say their time is worth more is, I think, dangerous and unnecessary because what are you worth? What are you worth? No one can say. As a human being, you are worth infinity. No one can put a price on you. Now, you say, George, that's fine and good, but what does that mean for how I charge? Well, the most common alternative that's better than charge what you're worth is to charge the market rate. That's better because you look around at other people who offer the same kind of services you do to the same kinds of people that you do and that's your market. Your market is the group of transactions from people offering something similar to you with a similar background to the customers that are similar to your customers. That's your market. And whatever the rates are being charged in your market, that's the market rate. And it makes sense to charge the market rate because, well, your market, your customers or your potential clients expect a certain range for what these kinds of services are charged by people like you. So charge the market rate is, if you want to just make a real simple rule of thumb, you can move on from here. That's fine. Now, what I've noticed though is a lot of people in my industry of business coaching, they teach you how to, you know, make money and do your marketing. What they tend to do is charge what the market will bear. And they might even teach that to you. In fact, that's the common economics theory is to or the economic observation is that companies firms charge what the market will bear. And I just think that is so adversarial between the business and the customer. It sets up this situation where, as a business owner, I'm going to try to take as much money from you as possible. And as a customer, you are supposed to buyer beware, you know, just to be suspicious of every business and go, I'm going to pay you the least, I'm going to pay the least possible to the business owner as I can. Right. It's an adversarial relationship. And it's not how most of us here, heart based solopreneurs want to relate to our clients and our potential clients.  That doesn't make doesn't make you feel good doesn't make me feel good either actually. I feel like I'm getting away with something and I'm like, you know, being devious or just not community oriented. Not doing business from love from compassion. Another common teaching is to charge what your work is worth. What is your work worth charge that amount of money. That's very similar to charge what the market will bear. Because let's say you are a, I don't know, let's say you are a relationship coach. And you help you help a couple, a married couple let's say to stay together, instead of divorce. Well how much is that worth. How much is that worth that could be worth, or whatever the couple makes you know in their in their, that could be worth tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars. Do you charge that. No, that's ludicrous. You don't charge what your work is worth. Because your work is actually worth more than you can, you can then then you realize you can't even calculate what your work is worth because the ripple effect that it creates on customers, a client's life, and then they go on and create ripple effects in their life to all the people that they interact with. How can you possibly charge what your, you know, your, your, your work is worth you can't mean it's it's worth way more. So, what should we do. Like I said we come back to charge the market rate. I think it's a fair assumption, because you are simply doing what is standard with the others around you. Here's the thing though I several years ago. I came to this realization that I want to take as little money from my clients as I possibly could. So instead of charge what the market will bear. I charge the least that I can bear. That's what I started doing in 2014. That's been that's kind of started that experimentation. So back then. My courses were, were less money. My one on one time was less. I was charging the least I possibly could bear and still provide my service. Some of you are probably going to be, you know, some of you probably disrespect that and say now that's that's that's, that's a bad business move George because then you're not making as much money as you could. I know, because my models in my heroes. Peace pilgrim. Some of you may have heard me talk about her. If you don't know about peace pilgrim I recommend that you go online and search for peace pilgrim audio book, peace, like world peace pilgrim like pilgrimage peace pilgrim audio book and listen to it. It's free to listen to. And this is one of my biggest heroes in life. She was really affected by her story and her teachings. When I changed my business back in 2012 2013 2014. And so I started charging the least that I could possibly charge. I, what that forced me to do was to really look at what was enough for me. It's not something you usually hear from people who teach you business marketing pricing. I've already said what they typically say charge with the market will bear charge of market rate charge what your charge what your worth charge what your time is worth charge what your work is worth all that stuff right. What I say is look at what is enough. What is enough for you, which is, which is a constant inquiry it's not a one time. Okay this much amount of money per month me up inflation and your life changes your needs change. But without looking at what is enough. And if you just keep on studying business and marketing, you're going to keep, you're going to keep the, you're going to feel pressured to inflate your prices more and more and more every single year, every six months, every three months. Every month, some people might say, and doing that what does that do continuing to inflate our prices consistently beyond what is enough for us. Okay, now, I'm going to say, I'm, what I'm not saying is that you shouldn't save for retirement, I save for retirement of course I'm. I'm not specifically safe for retirement, not. I'll say more I don't. What I don't do is what some people, I've noticed, try to do is like, they try to make a bunch of money in just a few years, so that it can retire and then they can say well now I don't find this pressure I can provide my service or free or low cost or whatever. I admire. If that was the intention I admire that but what typically happens is, during the years of making a lot of money they turn into a shark. Because how you make money shapes your character shapes your character, it shapes your habits of thought and relationships with others, how you look at people. So we need to be aware of that. Like I said, most of the people you learn from in my industry will turn you into a shark. It will turn you against your own values. And what I'm trying to bring you back to is to, is to invite you to observe your own values again and say, Okay, I don't need to try to take as much money from other people as possible because when we when we take more money from others, others have more financial pressure. Right. And then we tend to what happens, the hedonic treadmill, you can look that up as well the hedonic treadmill means that when we take more money in, we tend to increase our own lifestyle if we're not very conscious about managing our money, which most people are not. So we tend to increase our lifestyle costs, rather than decrease them. Yeah, what I've done recently which I've been dreaming of doing for five years, which is to move to a cheaper country. I just made the move from San Francisco, California, one of the most expensive cities in the whole world. It's really top 10 most expensive city to live in. And I'm here because you know my wife, my wife's work was there and you know we couldn't leave because of the her livelihood circumstances. But finally, the pandemic and you know she was able to work online a lot more and now we we had the freedom to leave. So finally now we made the move to Mexico, where right now, the costs are are you know, trying to settle into a new home and there's there's additional costs there that we didn't usually have but I'm expecting that in the coming year, the cost of my lifestyle will go down dramatically, dramatically, probably at least a third if not half, and maybe even more than half. So what does that mean. Does that mean I can save more money and in retire sooner and so this is what I'm trying not to do now.  I talk about this elsewhere where a good life in my opinion is not sitting on the beach, you know sipping your favorite drink. You could do that of course to rest and relax and renew and take as long as you need to but, in my opinion, a good life is about challenging ourselves on a daily basis. Of course you balance it with rest and renewal and, you know, all that stuff but you a good a truly good life is to continue challenging ourselves to explore what is most authentic to our calling, which usually means always almost always means to serve other people more impactfully more deeply. And, by the way, money is not evil. It's so important. If you come from the assumption that money is the root of all evil, just like the Bible says George money is there. No, that's a misconception. Money, if I have a video about that by the way go to YouTube and search money is the root of all evil. You should find one of my old old videos where I talk about what I understand to be the true biblical for those of you who are biblical or the true biblical interpretation of that. Set that aside. Not all of us are take the Bible as the as the word of God but what I believe is money is not the root of all evil, but the greed greed is the root of many kinds of evil. Right. So that and that by the way is so we are also susceptible to it, especially. It's kind of like you, if you get desperate, whether you're desperate or you are less desperate and making a lot of money, like financially desperate or the other side greed can grab you at both ends of the spectrum. And like it just seeks into you and when you learn from people from guys like me. You will get greed left and right it will be like seeping into and you won't even realize it. So what happens is what I try to do. Okay, which I've done now I'm showing you right like in through my own lifestyle is I have, I have what do you call it downsized. That's the right word. I have nothing in storage. I have no storage fees that we sold or gave it we gave away most of our stuff. Most of our furniture most of our stuff we donated it. We try to sell a few things that very cheap and then we unfortunately some things had to be trashed because we had to leave leave the home. So we downsize tremendously so that in the next year or so our financial situation will become easier, less pressure, which means guess what I'm that guess what my business. I'm not going to, you know, I probably will work a little bit less because I've been working quite a bit over the last 10 years, but I'll probably work a little bit less hours per week but but still working, probably more focused time than most solopreneurs, more focused hours per week than probably most solopreneurs with them. I practice joyful productivity for many years so anyway, I'm going to keep working. And you know where I'm going to do with the money. I'm going to give it back to you. Yeah, that's my plan. I already have those of you who are in my affiliate program know I have 300 affiliates at any given time something like 50 to 100 are active affiliates and the active affiliates are the ones I'm sharing profit with so let me say this again. The money I make has a profit sharing component where I share 40% I share 40% of my online course revenue which is most of my revenue, my online course revenue I share 40% with my affiliates every month. I share 50% directly from whatever they sold but another 15% where I just distributed among all the active affiliates so I try to give money back to my affiliates, which are my by the way, most of my affiliates are you just my clients and custom my students who signed up for the affiliate program you can go to George cow.com slash affiliate single word George cow.com slash affiliate to see what the affiliate programs about anyway. And as I reduce my living expenses. I'm going to keep investing in retirement but I'm not going to here's what I'm not going to do.  No, I'll tell you why, because during during my money making years. I can either like I said become a shark, or become super frugal and like stingy essentially right become a shark and become stingy and try to like save as much money I'm not. Am I criticizing the fire movement, financial impending this retire early, I kind of am. I know some of you are really into that movement, but here, hear me out. I think retirement. I think it is healthy. Let me say that I think it's healthy for the soul to be working as much as possible. Now you said George are you a Puritan. Maybe I have a little pure Puritanism in me maybe I do but here's here hear me out a little bit here. Why is working healthy for the soul, because work. Okay. Let me be clear, working for money. Working for money. Okay, I think it's healthy for the exploration of our calling. Why is that why we explain why. From my perspective, our calling our work calling like what we are called by a higher power to do for money is this the where our interests and our skills on the one hand, intercept with what the world is yearning to pay for. What's the what is the world yearning to pay for your world is re yearning to pay for what cannot come for free. You see what I mean, if if I can get something for free I'm not going to pay for no one's going to pay for what they can get for free, but they will pay for what cannot be gotten for free. And so, in other words, the something that they want, and they can't get for free. The circle of what the market wants and to pay for and what your skills and interests are that intersection right there in the middle is your work calling is the higher purpose of your money making work life. And that I believe really is more authentic and true about souls career calling your soulful career calling than just volunteering volunteering of course it's beautiful it's wonderful. You do things for free, you know, but again, there are things that people that not enough people are volunteering for that people want to pay for, let's say, and when you are able to charge for it. Okay, people are willing to pay for it. It's a beautiful intersection. And that's what money, I think is, that's where money makes the world a better place. That's where money connects humanity. It's to say, you know what, I really want this service I really want this program I really want this event I really want this product, and I can't easily get it for free. No one else is, I can't find it for free. Okay, or it easily can't find, and you're charging for it I believe in you. You've been, you know, you've given me free content or whatever. I'm going to pay you for it, because you're charging for it. So, okay, back to back to what what the topic at hand is. I try to charge based on enoughness like I said, as I reduce my lifestyle expenses, I will either charge less, or I will give more profit back to my back to my affiliates which is people like you, you can anyone can sign up for my affiliate I might give, give money back to my active affiliates, and I'll probably also either charge less for my stuff, or take on or launch less launch fewer courses so that I can spend even more energy making the existing courses better. That's my plan. So I charge based on enoughness and based on compassion. I look at you and I go I don't want to take more money from you. I mean I don't buy, I'm going to take as little money from you as I can bear for the way my business model setup. And as I get my lifestyle expenses less, and it's my business model improves, I should be able to take less money from you and give you as much if not more value. That's my intention. So I hope this is this discussion helps you see the pricing and money question, such an important one in a different light. And I look forward to seeing of everything I've said what resonated with you. And if you have anything else to add of course feel free to comment below. Thank you so much.

KB supports the correct and injustice that has taken place for combat-injured veterans that didn't have the ability to complete 20 or more years of active military service and receive their full retired pay along with their earned VA compensation. This legislation would correct this injustice. This bill is named after Major Richard Starr, who was a United States Army combat engineer who led route clearance and route construction missions in Afghanistan and Iraq. This act would support more than 50,000 combat-injured veterans by allowing them the ability to receive their earned pay from the military and their VA compensation. Currently, this group of veterans has their retired pay reduced dollar-for-dollar because of their disability compensation. Congress has recognized this injustice and partially fixed it by way of the fiscal year 2004 National Defense Authorization Act. Veterans that have completed 20 years of active service and have a disability rating of 50% or greater can receive their full retired pay and their VA compensation. DAV has been active with other veteran service organizations in advocating to correct this injustice. With the passage of this legislation, it would bring much needed support to combat-injured veterans who may be in challenging situations financially due to their injuries. On behalf of its more than 1 million members, DAV would like to thank Senators Tester and Crapo for introducing this legislation that would correct an injustice for combat-injured veterans and allow them to receive both their military retired pay and their VA compensation benefits. To see this and other DAV-supported legislation, please go to davcan.org. DAVCAN.org. Thank you and join DAV in supporting the Major Richard Starr Act.


reement with the then Solicitor General. It was the Deputy Chief Executive of the COPF that there would be an equivalent kind of grading to the Government's payments for qualified solicitors. However, the knock-on effect sees, for example, a Procurator Fiscal Depute being paid 39,780 and the equivalent in the Scottish Government 46,889. At various points, because of the disparity, it can be a 27 per cent, a 50 per cent and a 15 per cent always in the wrong direction. Could you address that? Yes. I suppose that it goes back to the point that I made in response to Daniel Johnson, that the starting point is the autonomy that the service has had in relation to paying grading since the 1990s and the position that we are in reflects decisions made by the service and no doubt also by the Scottish Government over a long period of time. I will come back to deal specifically with that in a moment, if I may. It is true to say, and the Crown Agent would be able to give more specifics on that, that the service continues to attract large numbers of applicants for both legal and administrative jobs. I suspect that that is because being a public prosecutor is an immensely rewarding professional experience. I would like to think that it is an exciting time for people to be working in the service. There is a lot happening in the justice system. The service is full of immensely skilled, dedicated people. That is part of the context. If one broadens out the comparisons, the average salaries for solicitors and private practice, according to the law society. While they are dedicated, we did hear that morale was down and that people were leaving the service, and if that disparity continues, it is not sustainable that the procurated fiscal service is going to retain the level of skill that it requires to function properly. I was going to come in a minute and deal directly with that, but perhaps I can do that. I think that the figures are that the service has lost 59 staff to other Government departments since January 2014. It is correct to say that the rate of departure has increased over the last 18 months. In addition, as I mentioned earlier, there is a loss of staff to the bench, which is perhaps a reflection of the skill that you have identified. There are no range of reasons for that, but there have always been staff who have moved on from the service for a variety of reasons, but the pay differential is there. Undoubtedly, the service would like to reduce that differential, but that, of course, has resource implications if that were to be done. I suppose that one does have to look at it in the context in which service continues to attract applicants. Generally speaking, the rate of turnover is at a historic low. That is not to say that, suddenly, I view with any equanimity the loss of skilled staff from the service. I am concerned that the FTA and other unions were at pains to point out the committee. Very briefly, Liam Kerr is supplementary. Just very briefly on that point, Lord Advocate, you would presumably concede that that pay differential that the convener has highlighted does make entry into the profession and, indeed, transfer into the profession somewhat unattractive for particularly younger lawyers entering the profession. It strikes me that there are two separate questions looking at at least the information that I have, which is that the service continues to attract a high number of applicants for entry into the profession of prosecutor. That may reflect the fact that, if one looks at the law society's figures for the profession as a whole, the median average salary for a solicitor is £35,000 in private practice on the figures from the law society's data. That is a broader context. I think that the job of being a prosecutor is an immensely attractive and rewarding one. That is at the level of entry. It is true to say that staff from the prosecution service, for a variety of reasons, have always moved on. We have seen an increase in the number of staff who are going to other parts of the public service. I would not dispute for a moment that part of the context for that is the pay differential that has been identified. Is there any analysis done of why people are moving? A crown agent will be able to give the detail, but, as I understand it, people are asked why they move on. There are exit interviews. Just to contextualise, Lord Advocate mentioned 59 to other government departments since 2014. 11 of them are lawyers. The vast majority are non-lawyers, but that perhaps helps to contextualise. During that same period, we lost 14 to the bench, somebody sheriff, sheriff etc. That again just contextualises for want of a better phrase the markets in which we are competing in terms of our more experienced staff. Do you analyse the reason that people move? Is it possible to provide the committee with data to say the pay differential was the reason that people transferred? Whether it is statistically significant, I can certainly indicate that pay is mentioned in a significant proportion of those who have their departure interviews. Any further information that you could give on the reasons why you think people are leaving the service would be helpful to the committee? There is just one final question for the cabinet secretary. What conversations, cabinet secretary, have you had with Police Scotland about its call for what it considered an absolutely crucial amount of funding £298 million for its IT project? Police Scotland, the chief constable and a couple of his colleagues presented the business case to me. From my perspective, I completely and principally understand the reasons for that. I do not think that I have to go over the issues around the I6 previously, the legacy issues etc. Caveatolus, I should say, is that we do invest and give money to Police Scotland, for example, through the reform budget to upgrade ICT. However, that is a huge substantial change that is being asked for with quite a hefty price tag. In principle, I support the reasons why, I understand the reasons why, but clearly they will be subject to budget negotiations, budget discussions and so on. To answer your question directly, the chief constable and his colleagues have presented that case directly to me. You are considering it? Well, from my colleague, I'd imagine, to the cabinet secretary for finance, undoubtedly to his part of budget discussions that he and I undoubtedly have, but that is very much subject to affordability. That £298 million is not a small number. I think that the chief constable has suggested that even to stand still would cost a considerable amount of money, £90 million perhaps? I think that doing nothing is not an option. Hence why I'm mentioning the money that we've spent through the reform budget or allocated through the reform budget to ICT intervention, so doing nothing is not an option. However, certainly, as I say, the full boon of the digital data and ICT transformation that's been talked about, in principle, is supportive of proposals but clearly subject to affordability. Thank you all very much. That concludes our line of questioning. Can we suspend for one minute just to allow the Lord Advocate and the Crown Agent to leave? I was very remiss and not introducing at the very beginning, and the cabinet secretary is remaining for our next agenda item. The next agenda item is consideration of a legislative consent memorandum relating to the Offensive Weapons Bill, currently before the UK Government, which touches upon devolved matters and to which the Scottish Government is recommending that the Parliament gives our consent to the UK Parliament to the relevant provisions in the bill. I refer members to paper 4, which is not by the clerk, and I invite the cabinet secretary to make a very brief opening statement. I've got the emphasis. The Offensive Weapons Bill was introduced into the House of Commons, as you said, by the UK Government in June this year. It contains a wide number of provisions that apply all across the UK, with many provisions extending to Scotland. Some of those provisions, such as the new offence banning the sale of corrosive products to under-18s fallen reserved areas, but many are devolved. Some of the following fall in devolved areas is the new offence of possession of a corrosive substance in a public place, new controls of the sale of knives and other bladed articles when bought remotely, and indeed the banning outright of the possession of certain dangerous knives and other offensive weapons. There are a number of other technical minor provisions that also fall into devolved competencies. As the Scottish Government's legislative consent memorandum explains, the area of law is a complex mix of both reserved and devolved. I could give you some examples of that, but your need for brevity, I don't think I will. One option would have been to obviously legislate through devolved areas through a Bill in the Scottish Parliament, but I think it's preferable to have a UK-wide framework on that. The desire to have consistent laws operating across the UK is sensible in this case. The Scottish Government and the UK Government agree that it makes policy sense to ensure that those types of restrictions operate as much as possible consistently across the United Kingdom. I can advise the Scottish Government and the UK Government have worked constructively together and devolved areas contained within the Bill, including in particular in relation to new restrictions on the sale of knives and other bladed articles. I do have some concern to conclude. Convener, on what is being reported as a delay in the process of the UK Government through the House of Commons, in fact, some of the reported reasons for the delay in that, but we will continue to work collaboratively with the UK Government. I am happy to answer any questions. Just on the last point there, the cabinet secretary mentioned that the Bill was delayed again in Westminster. Do you know anything that is surrounding the details of that, and will it affect our LCM? Only largely what is being reported, I have to say. We have been working very collaboratively with the UK Government, and I should caveat what I am about to say with those remarks, but if what is being reported is true, then it is frankly a disgrace. The reason that this legislation is being postponed is because it might make life difficult for the UK Government because of the Tory rebels and other rebels around the Brexit issue might just look to cause a defeat for the UK Government. If that, which is being reported, is true, then it is an utter disgrace. We have a particular interest in Scotland on this legislation. Every single member around this table will remember the tragic case of Baillie Gwyn. Of course, this legislation looks to put further enforcement in place to prevent that kind of situation from happening again when it comes to the sale of knives online, purchased online, and no longer being able to be delivered to somebody's house or residence, but they have to collect it, show ID, further enforcement of who is picking up that weapon. Frankly, the fact that this legislation could be delayed because of politics and party politics does not do justice to the memory of Baillie Gwyn. Thank you, cabinet secretary. You have outlined exactly why it is important that we get on with this now, and that is helpful. Shona, and... I was usually concerned to hear about the potential delay, and I wonder if you could expand on what the impact of that may be and whether you will be making representations to the UK Government about that delay and what they are going to do about it. If you could keep the committee informed about the progress of those discussions, I think that the fact that it covers really important things such as acid attacks and the huge public concern about that, and on-line knife sales, I think that any delay would be extremely unforgivable. If you could perhaps expand on what communications you are going to have around this. Yes, I will write to the UK Government on that. I am hoping that the reasons that are being reported in the press are not the reasons, and there are other good reasons. However, it is the second time that this delay has occurred, so it is extremely worrying. I understand that there are legislative pressures with Brexit. Everybody understands that, but the day job cannot be ignored. That is not just any piece of legislation, but it is a hugely important piece of legislation, not just for Scotland, but Shona Robison is absolutely right with some of the increases that we have seen with the use of corrosive substances, particularly in the London metropolitan area. That is an important piece of legislation from the entire United Kingdom. Restricting access to and therefore the sale of offensive weapons is hugely important. However, what the legislation will do is increase the number or category of items that we are asking retail workers to enforce the law around and therefore act as agents of the law. We also know that enforcing age restrictions can be a source of abuse and violence. The cabinet secretary may know that I am drafting a member's bill concerning that. I am just wondering if the cabinet secretary thinks that there is a need to reflect on what we are asking retail workers to do and maybe have some sort of thought around the protection that retail workers need, or in certainly look at the elements of the law that we are asking them to uphold in the round? Yes, I will reflect on that. I do not think that Daniel Johnson and I have had an in-depth discussion about the member's bill that he is taking forward. However, if he would find it helpful to do so, I would be more than happy to commit to doing that. I still need some persuading, I have to say on it, but I am more than happy to enter into the discussion. I am open minded to understand the member's bill that he was taking forward. However, as a good point, I will probably be lost in much of the discussion around the offences weapons legislation that is looking to be brought forward. It is important to put on the record. I would share with the cabinet secretary's concern at delays in taking forward this legislation at Westminster. You have talked about the consensual approach to taking forward this legislation to date. I am slightly surprised that this is the second delay that has taken place. Why are we talking about writing to your equivalent to seek clarification on the basis for that delay, rather than an urgent phone call having been set up already to establish that, to impress upon on your counterpart why this legislation needs to be taken forward now? Nobody wants to see it taken forward at a UK level and defeated for whatever reason. I think that we all appreciate that the management of legislation through Parliament can be a precarious business, but it seems to me beyond understanding how this would fall into that category. Therefore, as I say, I am slightly surprised that that conversation has not already happened between yourself and your counterpart. I will say to Liam McArthur that, again, my various ministerial roles can be sometimes quicker than getting a letter sent by email than trying to wait for diaries to match up. Now, I would be available for a phone call today with relevant UK Government ministers to discuss this issue and reflect on what he says. I do not doubt— At an official level, either there is a precursor— I will bring my officials in to their conversations with UK Government officials. The point that I was going to make was that I do not doubt that there are some legitimate issues that need to be discussed. For example, there are some points of contention around high-caliber rifles—for example, that idea that is reserved, I should say—but I know that there are some discussions around that as being a point of contention. Therefore, I do not doubt that there are some issues that need to be worked through but to continually pull legislation for it to be delayed. If it is for the reasons that are being reported, then it is extremely worrying, but I am happy to bring in Philip to give more detail on the official discussions that I have taken. I can confirm that we did not have an advance notice of the delay. We found out in live time that it was due to go through the third reading last Monday—it did not happen on the day and the same yesterday. We did not get an advance notice that the UK Government had made that decision. What efforts have you made to establish at an official level what their action hall is at the moment that we are relying on reports? We can certainly ask at an official level, at an ministerial level, certainly the information that we have received is due to parliamentary scheduling without any further detail. I think that you are really impressed in the need to move on with this. Any way that we can get the information that we need in the best manner possible and the most efficient and fastest manner for this would be in the interests of all concerned. Are there any more questions? If not, then do members agree that we give our consent and that you delegate the publication of a short factual report to me to work with the clerks and publish? Agreed. Thank you for that. Agenda item 5 is legislative consent memorandum on crime overseas production orders. Cabinet Secretary, do you need a change of officials? Yes. In which case I shall suspend for about 30 seconds until that takes place. Right. This agenda item is consideration of legislative consent memorandum relating to the crime and overseas production orders bill currently before the UK Parliament which touches upon devolved matters and to which the Scottish Government is recommending that this parliament gives our consent to the UK Parliament to the relevant provisions in the bill. I refer members to paper 5, which is a note from the clerk and invite the cabinet secretary again to make a brief opening statement. Thank you, convener, for the opportunity to speak in support of the LCM for the Crime Overseas Production Orders bill, which was introduced in the House of Lords on 27 June. The purpose of the bill is to enable law enforcement officials and prosecutors to apply for a court order that would enable them to obtain electronic data for the purposes of investigating and prosecuting serious crimes directly from persons who are based or operated overseas. A present of data that may constitute evidence is located outside the UK. Then UK courts can generally only access data through the current mutual legal assistance of the known as AMLA process. This process requires a domestic order and the engagement of domestic law enforcement from the territory in which the data is held. It can therefore be a slow and very cumbersome process, taking on average 10 months to complete. The bill seeks to create a more efficient process for obtaining data from overseas, meaning that evidence can be recovered more quickly. The default position is within seven days, beginning with the day in which the order is served, supporting swifter investigations and prosecutions. The new process will sit alongside the current AMLA arrangements. The main elements of the bill are to allow a judge to make an overseas production order, to define data that is exempt from such orders, for example medical records, to set out what a person must do if they are served with an order and to allow a judge to vary or revoke an order. LCM is required as it provides a means for devolved law enforcement officials to seek electronic data evidence in relation to a wider range of serious offences, many of which are not reserved. The bill also confers new functions on the law advocate, who is to serve orders made in Scotland, thereby altering the executive competence of the Scottish ministers. I ask the committee to support the draft LCM. My officials and I are more than happy to take questions that you may have. The cabinet secretary has covered the point that I was going to raise. That is fine. Are there any other questions for members? If not, do members agree that we give our consent and that you delegate the publication of a short factual report to me to work with the clerks and publish? Are we all agreed? I suspend briefly to let the cabinet secretary to leave. Due to the clock ticking on, we will continue now. Agenda item 6, the European Union Withdrawal Act 2018. Agenda item 6 is consideration of a proposal by the Scottish Government consent to the UK Government legislating using the powers under the European Union Withdrawal Act in relation to a UK statutory instrument, the law enforcement and security amendment EU expert regulations 2018. I refer members to paper 6, which is a note by the clerk. Do members have any questions? Thank you, convener. I'll be brief. The papers we've got, as you say, cover a range of issues, and they repeat a number of stock phrases in regard to it, namely that a lot of, for instance, given the UK, as the members state that the UK Government are leading negotiations, it needs to be considered on a UK-wide basis. The Scottish Government shares the UK's Government's aim. I have no difficulty with that. If any legislation is considered necessary to plug gaps, it will most likely need to be progressed at UK-wide basis. There is also an undertaking that the Justice Committee would be kept informed of that. However, I think that it would be helpful to callify the term likely and what capability or opportunity exists for the Scottish criminal justice system to address the issues on its own. That would cover the situation where, as we've heard—not the previous item, but the one before that—for any reason, because those are very, very important matters—child pornography and other pressing issues. Could we clarify that, please? Would you be content, then, for us to seek that further information and to receive that, but to be able to go on and approve the... Very happy that we go on and approve it. I think it would be helpful to understand that. I think that that's an important point. Thank you very much for making it, John. Is the committee therefore content to recommend that the Scottish Parliament gives its consent to the UK Government to pass the statutory instrument? You are agreed. The clerks will produce a paper. A short report is committee happy to delegate the authority to me to publish this report, as we do with SSIs. Are we all agreed? Thank you. Agenda item number seven is feedback from the justice sub-committee on policing on its meeting of 4 October 2018. Following the verbal report, there will be an opportunity for brief comments or questions, and I refer members to paper seven, which is a note by the clerk, and I invite John Finnie to provide this feedback. Thank you, convener. As you said, the justice sub-committee on policing met in the fourth of October, and we took pre-budget evidence on Police Scotland's digital data and ICT strategy ahead of the Scottish Government's publication of its draft budget. We heard from senior officials of Police Scotland and the Police Authority, and we also heard that lessons had been learned from the failed I6 project and measures had been taken to avoid those being repeated. That's primarily around an incremental approach to the implementation and selection of technology that's been previously tested and used elsewhere, rather than the whole innovation that is associated with I6. We heard of the importance of the issue, and as we've touched on earlier in our meeting here, we heard that the ICT strategy would require 298 million funding from the Scottish Government, but there would be implications for a standstill budget. We were also told that the capital budget for Police Scotland is insufficient to meet its needs and can this consider the impact and policing of the reduction of police support staff and the proposed reduction of 300 officers from 1920? We'll next meet in the 20th of 5 October, and I'm happy to take any questions. Members of any questions? No. I thought that that was a useful meeting and it emphasised this process of a pre-budget scrutiny, how effective that was. I think it's been a very welcome introduction. That concludes the public part of today's meeting. Our next meeting will be the 30th of October, where we will continue with our post-legislative scrutiny of the Police and Fire Reform Scotland Act 2012. I now move into private session.


Oh, yeah, anytime, you know, we don't see DJ have too many, you know, days where he struggles at the plate. Of course, obviously that's going to happen. But then jumping on that first pitch and riding it out, no doubt or to right, you know, I mean, he's been he's been coming up huge for us all year. And just when you think he's down a day, he comes up huge. Would you think of the job that Green got himself into a jam, got out of the jam? Chapman came in as well as Garen to kind of close things out for you guys. And yeah, a lot of a lot of gutsy efforts today out of out of guys out of the pen.    You know, the wiser guy gets himself into some trouble, but makes pitches. I thought I thought the same was was true for Domingo. You know, he got in some trouble and made pitches a couple big time double plays turned behind them. But just just a lot of big pitches in big spots that that allowed us to hang around and win that game. Britain exited early. They announced cribbing in his calf in your mind. Is is that it or? Yeah, I mean, I hope so. Just seeing him after the game, he said he felt fine and Stevie said he was jumping around after when he came in. You know, I hear cramp in the calf and obviously and I've hurt my calf before. So that it was made me nervous. But the fact that he was moving like he is right now, you know, we'll see what we have. But initial signs are hopefully we dodged something that Matt Chapman double in the seventh, I believe almost looked like it was foul. Was there any consideration there to challenging it? Yeah, yeah.  It was it was pretty gray for us. So, you know, that that one's on me because I think there was a chance I haven't looked at it yet. But just kind of as the game unfolded here and some of the people talk about it, maybe should have done that. Justin clapped to the right. And when you are grinding a game out like that against the team like Oakland, what is the feeling like in the dugout when everyone sees that ball hit off DJ's bat? Yes, let's go home.   A lot of big plays on both sides.  And earlier in the game, Domingo on the mound, you went out there for a visit. Would you say to him? I just wanted to make sure he was, you know, obviously a bit another big situation for him there and up against Chapman. I just wanted to make sure he was locked in and, you know, really focusing on the next pitch is being the most important. And I just wanted to look at him and remind him of that and have him finish and he did. He made a, you know, huge, huge out in that spot to keep the game there. Aaron, at one point, the eighth inning, you were on your way to your fifth straight loss to the A's. How important was it to win this game and not let them establish that kind of dominance? I mean, we want to win. How important it, you know, I don't know. I mean, we'll see how it affects things. But I don't think winner lose. I don't think it affects anything moving forward with them. How our guys go about it. What our expectation would be walking into tomorrow. I mean, you like to win a game like that where you use all your pen where you use high leverage guys. So that, you know, that's one of those games that can bleed into tomorrow a little bit. But as far as a psyche, which I feel like you're asking maybe a little bit when or lose. I don't think it would affect anything. Frankly, Dave, Aaron, you guys have been so good on the replay challenges. You guys have a good track record success.  Oh, yeah. And then to have the guys bail me out of that is is huge because ultimately that comes down to my my decision. And like I said, I probably should have done that. So yeah, big time of the guys to pick me up there. Anyone else in the back here? Gary was basically the offense for a while there today. What did you see from him and his at bats? I believe he got Bailey over there in Oakland to look like he both breaking balls, you know, and just, you know, you know, obviously saw him good broke into the zone, you know, one of kind of the patented Gary where he just drops the head on a breaking ball down and look like down and in and no doubter and then really a good job getting one that up and out over look like another breaking ball to me where he goes the other way. And, you know, it's good to see him do that because we know obviously he's capable of going out to all fields and and usually when he's he's driving the ball that way. Usually he's in a good spot. Last one Dan to the right given what Void is coming back from. What did you think of his at bats today? I thought okay. You know, I thought the shadows were a little bit of an issue maybe in that last at bat.  But, you know, that's going to happen. I feel like he's he's getting some good swings off even going obviously going back to yesterday. So just check in again with them after the game and see how he came out of it. The biggest thing right now for me is making sure that he feels not only healthy but strong and healthy and and and feels like he's bouncing back because if that's the case, then now he'll start to get results with it over time.

And you got a chance to win the case 2023 Mosaic football, a $4,400 value. Got a little Monday night football action on in the background. Vikings up 16 to 7. 10 minutes up in the third. Niners started off the half, the second half with the ball, but it didn't get too far. Jordan Natt isn't having himself a game. Niners are going to have to figure something out. They want to, they got to get back, they got to score. Next drive. Got to get touchdowns. Got to try to prevent touchdowns here. That's going to help. All right. Jalen Wright starts us off. Aqua to 2.99. I remember these are, these parallels are not numbered, but all cards shift. And our first autograph is Drew Pine, Arizona State's Drew Pine. That's going to go to the college combo spot. That's going to be for Chris.

That's going to go to Jeff and V, Ohio State University. Got a big kahuna, a Mique at Bucca. I think these are pretty short printed. We saw one in the first half. I thought they were, I thought they were one per case, but I guess not. But still nice. That's going to go to Jeff and Ohio State. We've got Bucky Irving, Purple Mini Diamonds, 3.99, and Shaz Preston, wide receiver for Alabama, going to Chris. Wow, they gave him the passenger experience. Viking's trying to run their way in. And back in game seven of the ALCS, top of the fifth, Rangers have opened up an eight to two lead on the Astros. There's still a lot of game left in the baseball game. Dimeback's forcing a game seven today. They beat the Phillies 5-1. Throw it to Jordan Addison. Addison gets to the one third in goal. Got Jordan Addison on my fantasy team. So I'm way back. I also have Brock Purdy. I need him to wake up a little bit. Ooh. Behind Alexander Mast, they're going to have to sell for a field goal. All right, now Brock Purdy go to work. Throw a few touchdowns. Devon Leary to 150. And Colorado's Travis Hunter, 1955. That's going to go to William in Colorado. Leary goes to Kentucky. That's part of the combo spot. So that's going to go to Chris M.

Not his bowman first. But still a nice one for Darren and Washington. People like his game. And a Marvin Harrison Jr. Autograph. Nice box. That'll be for the Ohio State University. That's going to go to Jeff Henn. Nice break. Saved those for the end of the recap right there as well. Nice. Now the Vikings are up 19-7. So let's see if the Niners can make a game of this. I didn't think I'd be saying that this stage of the evening. But let's see if the Niners can make a game of it. I also was tripped out a little bit because Joe Buck was talking about the NBA season starting inside. The box isn't at the NBA. Then I realized, no, he's on ESPN now. Has been for a little bit. Let's give the ball to George Kittle. Nice, the play stands. Legal contact defense. Capri. There's the TD. Breaks out for a touchdown. There you go. Niners needed this score on this possession. All right, we got a flipped-around autograph. Jason McClellan. McClellan. Alabama, gold, lava, Chris Parent with Alabama. 37 out of 50. Drake May base. Kyle Mononga, 130 out of 299.

Representing all the colleges not listed. 27 out of 499. Adrian, what's up? On the side, what's the one-pack phone for 9X entry? I think just read the title, Adrian. It shouldn't explain to you what we're giving away. Unless the title is incorrect. 1955 bow nicks. But it should tell you 9X entry to something. It should be in the first part of the title. Or in the description. It should say in the description, too. All right, now the Niners only down by 5. 554 left in the third. Vikings haven't moved the ball pretty well against the Niners, though. Let's see if the Niners can come up with a stop. We got Solomon to shields. 35 out of 50. Gold shimmer for Pitt. And that's for Chris M. And the combo spot. I think Pittsburgh wasn't sold out right. No, they were not. So Chris M. gets that. 135 out of 50. Nice. We got Nick Singleton for Penn State. Alexander with Nick. 23 out of 150. Nick Alexander is the name of a cardio ship.

Or no, that was not Jordan Addison. Brandon Powell. Another box. In the baseball game, Rangers still up by six runs there in the top of the sixth. And the Rangers have a runner on first. Two outs. Awesome. Grabbing his right ankle. Here we go. Here's the Chudora Sanders. Kyle Minange to 99. Green. Now it's 10-2. Must have been a home run. Nathaniel Lowe. Homers. Mitch Garver scores. Two-run shot. Rangers have extended the lead to eight runs. They're up 10-2. Top of the sixth. Grant Wells to 199. Is that curtains for Houston? Eight runs. They got bottom of the sixth, seventh. They got some outs, but they're going to have to start scoring right now. Bottom of the inning if they're going to have a chance in this one. There's Audrey Esteemay. Four Notre Dames for TJ. 4-30 out of four at 99. Drake May in that 1955 design. McMillan again to 3-99. And a Sam Hartman Notre Dame auto for TJ Poyer. In that green parallel, which is a nice match for Notre Dame. 44 out of 99. Sixth and final hobby box, and we'll do those breakers to light. Back there. Occampton is being assisted off the field. I'm going to guess more for Jordan S. All starts. You can't have all starts, Vikings. That might be a passenger, no? They had their arms locked. Locked together. Maybe because the D-back turned his head. That usually helps. Jordan S. in six catches, 110 yards, two touchdowns. What a night for him. TJ Hoggerton looks fine. He's checking back into the game. Last hobby box coming up there. Drew Sanders base. Julian Fleming to 3-99 for Ohio State. Justice Haynes, gold. Eight out of 50 for Chris Parent in Alabama. And we got Kool-Aid McKinstry for Chris Parent in Alabama. In that gold or is this yellow? I think yellow is a 75. 73 out of 75. Drake May, early risers. Travis Hunter. Drake May.

Drake May for Brian. Travis Hunter for William. Another Drake May insert this time for Brian. 54 yard field goal attempt for the Vikings. Is... Right down the middle. Now the breakers still light. Still two autos of box but far fewer cards. And a lot more parallels. And it looks like the... The Astros have just gone 1-2-3 in the bottom of the sixth. Kyle Tucker flies out. Chas McCormick flies out. Jeremy Kania grounds out. And that spot there. Those are your refractors. That is not numbered. And that is Cooper Dijon. To 1-50 for Iowa and Troy Franklin. 2-71 out of 2-99. Franklin? I almost said Franklin. Like a flanker? Goes to Kevin in Oregon. And the Cooper Dijon will go to Chris in Iowa. Combo spot.

And there's Braylon Allen to 50. 40 out of 50 on that. Alright. Nice box. If you watched the first half of the break too, that was pretty strong. This half might even be a little bit stronger.

Yeah, that gilded would be great. Not part of the promo tonight. Won't be able to win a case by getting it to gilded. But maybe some nice hits in there. But I only see two orders coming in. So I don't know if that's going to be enough to I guess unless those two orders bought out of break. I don't think that's going to fill a break ladies and gentlemen.
