It is now time for oral questions. I recognize the leader of His Majesty's morning opposition. Good morning, Speaker. Yesterday, the Premier and the House leaders seemed to think that they could just brush off questions related to the green belt grab. But people still have many questions, questions like what exactly happened on a trip to Las Vegas taken by the Premier's former principal secretary, his director of housing policy, the former Minister of Public and Business Services, and a speculator who later stood to benefit from preferential access to green belt land. Speaker, to the Premier, when did he first find out that his minister was living it up in Vegas with people who have business before his government? Mr. Secretary, how is it? Mr. Speaker, I appreciate the question. Obviously, the integrity commissioner has weighed in on that and is looking at the additional information that has been provided by the former minister But at the same time, of course, we are not going to do what the opposition will want us to do. This is all about the same thing for them. It's about stopping people from having what all of us wanted and what all of us have at home for themselves. I was speaking to somebody just yesterday who had his wife delivered their first child. He did everything right. Everything right. He bought his first condo when he was just out of school. And now all he wants is a home for his family. 21 offers later. He still doesn't have that home, Mr. Speaker. And all he wants, what he said to us, is this. He said, I want what you had. I want the opportunity to have my first home for my family. That's what he wants, and that's what we will deliver. Supplementary question. Speaker, I want to ask them to follow along here. I can't blame the Premier or the House Leader for having some difficulty with the dates, because they've changed a few times. Since these individuals were first interviewed under oath by the Integrity Commissioner. The former Minister, Mr. Massoudi, and Mr. Trusdell all suspiciously told the Integrity Commissioner that their trip was in 2019, when it actually occurred months later. The Greenbelt speculator, Shakir Rahmatullah, someone this Premier knows very well, was at the same hotel on both sets of dates. The minister said he was only in Vegas once since being elected. He's now admitted it was twice. Three different people giving the wrong date for the same trip. So, Speaker, my question again to the Premier, can the Premier explain how three different people could mistakenly give the wrong date for the same trip? Thank you very much, Mr. Trusdell. Again, that is something that the Integrity Commissioner will take a look at. I can understand the leader bringing that question to the floor, but honestly, she should be providing those questions to the Integrity Commissioner. That is the official who is charged with overseeing those types of investigations with members on all sides of the House, Mr. Speaker. But at the same time, we're going to continue to be focused on what matters to the people of the province of Ontario, and that is delivering a strong economy that is delivering homes for the people of this province, whether it is the senior who wants to downgrade into a bit of a smaller home, thereby making another home available for the young family that I just talked about, Mr. Speaker. I suspect that this is all the opposition is going to do to try to put obstacles in the way of Ontarians having that first home. We will remove those obstacles, Mr. Speaker, and we will deliver for the people of the province of Ontario, because they deserve every advantage, the same advantages that we had, the next generation deserves those exact same advantages, Mr. Speaker. The final supplementary. Speaker, the minister knows this was never about housing, and what we're asking today is about restoring trust and integrity in government. Back to the Premier. The discrepancies in these testimonies didn't stop at the dates of the trip, Speaker. The former minister said he and the Premier's staff only saw the green belt speculator in the lobby of the hotel. Now it's reported that they got spa services at the same hotel at the same time. Of course, we know the member has now left cabinet and caucus in light of these revelations. The Premier has said he can return if he clears his name. Will the Premier be asking the integrity commissioner to get to the bottom of this? Mr. Mr. Harrison. Mr. Speaker, that is the integrity commissioner's job to do, and not the Premier's job to do on behalf of the integrity commissioner. But the leader of the opposition is right. Through the NDP, it is never about housing, right? Because if it was ever about housing, they wouldn't have put obstacles in the way along with the Liberals that saw us in a housing crisis in the province of Ontario, Mr. Speaker. That is the reality today. We are in a housing crisis because they put obstacles in the way of people building homes. They put obstacles in the way that have led us to a housing crisis. It is the same policies that they're supporting federally, right? They have the balance of power federally. What are they supporting? High taxes, high taxes which lead to inflation, which leads to interest rates that put families out of competition for homes, so I say to the leader of the opposition, don't do what your federal counterparts are doing. Don't do what you did when you supported the Liberals. Don't put housing out of the reach of thousands of people. Join us and make sure that the next generation have all the benefits that we enjoy, Mr. Speaker. That's what we'll focus on. Leader of the opposition. Speaker, I'm not raising these questions because I have any particular interest in the jet-sevincing lives of the Premier staff and friends. I'm raising them because of what they reveal about how this government makes decisions and who stands to gain from those decisions. The commissioner says, evidence suggests someone tipped off Mr. Rematula, but he's unable to identify who it was. Does the Premier have reason to believe that any of his ministers or staff may have given advance notice to Mr. Rematula about their plans to remove parcels of land from the Greenbelt? Mr. Mitchell cares in housing. Mr. Speaker, in fact, what the integrity commissioner said, page 135. In fact, I found that the Premier's office staff were not providing such direction. Page 140, I accept the purpose of the decision to remove lands from the Greenbelt was to address the housing crisis. That is what the integrity commissioner said because that is what we have been focused on since we got into office. We inherited a province that was brought to its knees by the policies of the Liberals and the NDP. The same policies right now, which across this country have led to high inflation, which leading to out of control interest rates, which are putting thousands of people out of the market, Mr. Speaker. And when you add on top of that the obstacles that they put in place, making new families, having to decide to eat or eat, that was their legacy. We're gonna bring prosperity back. We've already seen 700,000 people have the dignity of a job. And now the next step, Mr. Speaker, is to give those new families the same advantages that we had, a home that they can call, a house that they can call home for their families and so that we can ensure that the next generation have all the advantages that we have. Supplementary question. Speaker, well my question is back to the Premier. I hope he answers this time. This speculator's influence wasn't limited to the Greenbelt. His company was identified by the Auditor-General as one of the top beneficiaries from this government's MZOs. We need some transparency here. The Premier's former minister paid $4,550 in cash for three flights to Vegas. But no one could provide clear proof just how, when, or if the balance for the trip was repaid in full. Now rooms at the win Las Vegas apparently go for more than $700 a night. What steps is the Premier taking to figure out who paid for this trip and when? Will you reply to the Premier? You know, to the leader of the opposition, you know, it's very clear that the integrity commissioner cleared myself, cleared my office. The Auditor-General cleared myself and cleared my office. Our intent is to build homes, build homes for new Canadians, build home for young families that come here that can't afford it. Because if it was up to the NDP and the Liberals nothing would get done. We'd go back another 15 years and talk about scandals, be it the E-Health scandal or every other scandal that they had, nothing got done. We had the highest hydro rates in North America, Mr. Speaker. The highest taxes, more red tape, more regulations and they wonder why under their rule 300,000 people lost their jobs. As we stand today, there's 700,000 people that have jobs. That will have an opportunity to pay their rent, to have an opportunity to get a mortgage and buy a home. That's our intent. We're going to continue making sure we build the 1.5 million homes. Thank you, Speaker. I think the Premier better go back and read those reports again. Because their Vegas story is not adding up. You've got the former minister paying cash for flights. He says he believes the Premier staff paid him back about $1,000 each in cash. That doesn't even cover the cost of the flight. The Premier's now former Principal Secretary stated he thinks he paid him back in cash on or around November 7th, 2022. That's nearly three years after the trip. And just a few days after the government announced Ramatoula's land would be removed from the green belt. Coincidence? I don't think so. To the Premier, should the people of Ontario accept that government policy was being decided on a massage table in Vegas? Hi, the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing. Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. Again, it's the integrity commissioner that will look into any of these as they do with any issues that come before us from members, Mr. Speaker. But at the same time, the leader of the opposition and the leader of the Liberal Party can make all the jokes that they want. But the reality is this. It is not a joke. Because what has happened in the province of Ontario for 15 years of Liberals and NDPs is that we have a housing crisis. And these are the very same policies that they fought for here for 15 years that we're seeing in Ottawa right now. We're seeing the same thing. We said a carbon tax would cost the people of the province of Ontario and drive up inflation. They said it wouldn't and it did, Mr. Speaker. We said high interest rates would cause our economy to fall. They said it wouldn't. We're saying we're showing that it does, Mr. Speaker. High interest rates are putting thousands of people out of the market for homes. Why? Because liberal policies of high debt, high inflation, red tape supported by the NDP don't work. It brings an economy to its knees. We're going to do everything that they did it, Mr. Speaker. We're going to continue to restore the economy. Thank you very much. Well, thank you, Speaker. My question is to the Premier. Speaker, the people of this province have questions about what happened in Vegas between the Premier's former principal secretary, his former director of housing policy, his former minister and Greenbelt developer, Shakira Rimetula. They all stated that the Vegas trip was in 2019. None of them clarified it may have been in 2020 until they were backed into a corner. The minister from Mississauga East Cooksville changed his story about only going to Vegas once since being elected. Now we know that he has been there twice. I don't know how you forget that. I know that I would remember a good luck ritual massage. Does the Premier believe that one of his ministers and or members of his staff lied to the integrity commissioner? Withdraw. And to reply, Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing. The member would know the process of how the integrity commissioner does his work, having been one of the only members found guilty of an infraction by the integrity commissioner. She would certainly know how that process works, Mr. Speaker. The person that she's talking about is no longer a member of this caucus, Mr. Speaker. That person will have to work with the integrity commissioner to ensure that all of the documentation that he requires is made available. At the same time, Mr. Speaker, we're going to continue to move forward to ensure that we build 1.5 million homes for people all across the province of Ontario. And it's not just homes for people, it's homes for students. It's long-term care homes, Mr. Speaker. It's about getting people moving in the province of Ontario. It's why we're building subways. It's why we're building new roads, Mr. Speaker. It's why we're opening up our economy for the first time in years. Ontario is on a prosperous path. You know why? Because we've done everything opposite to what the Liberals and the NDP did for 15 years. People are coming back to the province, and now it's our responsibility to do everything for the next generation and have all the same advantages that we have. Thank you. Let's stop for a message question. Wait a minute. Your mic's not on. Order. Mine may... Thank you. The truth matters to Ontarians, Speaker, and the Vegas story is just not adding up. The member from Mississauga East Cooksville paid over $4,500 cash for flights. He said he also paid for the hotels. The member estimates that the Premier staff paid him back $1,000 each and showed a deposit of $2,000 on December 20th, 2019. But the money the member said was for repayment for the trip doesn't even cover the cost of the flights and can't recall the particulars. Contrary to the former minister's dates, the staff in question say they paid the minister back in 2020 but then in 2022. One of these staffers say that they actually paid the minister back $2,000, the other over $1,000. The dates are wrong. The numbers don't match. Is this how the Ford government does business? Great. Mr. Ms. Wolf-Harrison-Hausen. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Again, the integrity commissioner will work with the member to ascertain what is important on any investigation going forward, Mr. Speaker. I assume the members would appreciate it that the process follows the way it is meant to. Having said that, Mr. Speaker, what we're going to continue to do and what we have done since day one in this place is start to untangle the mess that was created by the Liberals and the NDP, a mess that has led to a housing crisis in the province of Ontario. So we're going to remove obstacles, Mr. Speaker. The minister of long-term care talked about just yesterday. So under the Liberal Watch, 611 long-term care beds were built across the province of Ontario. 611. Supported by them, supported by the NDP, under this minister's watch, there are shovels in the ground for 18,000 beds. The fact that care beds being built in the member for Ottawa South's riding, then there were for the previous 15 years that he was in that government, Mr. Speaker. We'll continue to get the job done on behalf of all. And question, order. The member for Scarborough, agent. Good morning, Mr. Speaker. My question is for the minister of labour, immigration training and skills development. Our province is currently experiencing a labour shortage in every sector of our economy. Across Ontario, jobs are going on field every day. Costing our economy billions in lost productivity. One of the most critical areas where we are missing talent is in the skilled trades. With so many job vacancies needing to be filled, people need to be provided with the opportunity to launch into these well-paying and lifelong careers. To help be the strong Ontario, our government must do all that we can do to help more people get into the skilled trades. Speaker, can the minister please explain how our government is supporting in gaining the skills they need to address our province's overwhelming demand for skilled trades people? Thank you. Mr. Labour, immigration training and skills development. Thank you, Speaker. And I just want to first start by thanking the Premier for this important role and thanking all the many men and women in the skilled trades who have had the pleasure of speaking with over the last 48 hours. Really looking forward to working with you. Speaker, if we're going to be honest with ourselves and we're going to build the hospitals we need, build the schools we need, build the highways, the roads and the bridges that this Premier, this government, have committed to doing to support a stronger Ontario, we need the men and women who are going to build them. We need them. Men and women, like my grandfather, who came off the boats from Middle East and found a very rewarding career in the trade, Speaker. But for too many, that's out of touch. The opportunity for home ownership, everything he did to provide for my family is out of reach. But under this Premier's watch, it's changing. And Speaker, I want to draw attention to the important fact. Since the moves this government's made to support the skilled trades, we've seen an increase in apprenticeship registrations in the last year of over 24%. Bottom line, it's working. Thank you, the supplementary question. Thank you, Speaker. It is positive news that the apprenticeship registrations are up and that more people are entering careers in the skilled trades. When speaking about getting more people into the skilled trades and that the labour shortages is hurting Ontario's economic potential, our government must focus on implementing solutions that will have a real impact on the future prosperity of our province. We need to remove barriers, as well as provide opportunities and pathways to employment in the skilled trades for those who don't currently have jobs, but who want to work. Speaker, can the minister please elaborate on how our government is supporting Ontarians in securing rewarding careers in the skilled trades? Minister of Labour. Thank you, Speaker. Speaker, as I said, we have a Herculean effort needed to ensure we have the infrastructure we need to support a growing Ontario. But, Speaker, if we're going to be honest with ourselves, we can't ignore half the workforce. That's why we need to take steps to ensure that women are represented in the skilled trades. And I'm proud to say I'd like to acknowledge the work from the Associate Minister of Women's Social and Economic Opportunity. The work that she's been doing as Speaker to ensure that we have greater representation of women in the trades. And again, Speaker, it is working. Under the leadership of this Premier, we have seen an increase in the number of female apprenticeship registrations, up by over 30% from last year. 30%. Speaker, I hope in the spirit of nonpartisanship, that's something that everybody in this House can say is a good thing. Thank you. The Member for Kiwetnaw. Miigwech, through you, Speaker, to the Premier. This government has all the time in the world to collaborate with developers in Las Vegas. But they won't show these chiefs the basic respect and meeting with them. Three times, Speaker, they have traveled here and the Premier has ignored them. Last week, they formally invited the Premier to meet with them face to face. They will be waiting for him out at the front at 12.15 today. The table is set. Will the Premier meet with the land defenders, land defense alliance chiefs today? Yes or no? The Premier. Mr. Speaker, I've heard from the First Nations communities and they have said there's never been a Premier that's been more accessible, returning phone calls, meeting with them, never ever have they had a Premier that reaches out to them, supports them in any way I can. I'm going to continue to support them. But I return every single phone call and take every single meeting, ask regional chief hair. He was the one who said that in front of numerous chiefs and they all agreed. So sorry to dismiss what you were saying. A supplementary question. Those are different set of chiefs, I think what he's talking about. But the Premier has encouraged the mining industry to exploit First Nations lands against their will. He has even promised to drive the bulldozer himself. They are still waiting. He refuses to meet with the five land defense alliance chiefs whose lands and people are at risk. Speaker, the leaders are here now, today.  If there is any other answer, if they are unwilling to meet with them, it just means that he does not care about First Nations. Speaker of Northern Development, the Minister of Indigenous Affairs. Speaker, and it couldn't be farther from the truth. Under this Premier's leadership, Mr. Speaker, we have settled more treaties, more flood claims and more land claims. We've struck an important balance, Mr. Speaker, about creating opportunities, addressing issues, Mr. Speaker, to ensure as the Crown, as the Government of Ontario, Mr. Speaker, that we balance the interests of other communities who've moved ahead on legacy infrastructure projects, legacy resource projects, Mr. Speaker, fundamentally transforming the economic, social, and health landscape of those communities. That opportunity is extended to those leaders. I have a personal relationship with many of them. I've known them a long time. I meet with them in my constituency office. Chief Turtle here today. I spoke with Chief... Sorry. The Chief of Nascanda got a long go about some opportunities in his community, Mr. Speaker. We're prepared to work with those communities as we do with every First Nations communities. Create opportunities for Indigenous youth, Mr. Speaker. Thank you. Thank you. The next question, the member for Richmond Hill. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is for the Attorney General. The people of Ontario deserve a justice system that is both accessible and efficient. For years, the people of Ontario relied on outdated procedures. They were paper-based, inconvenient and confusing when dealing with our province's courts of justice. Sadly, updates to technology in this sector were clearly not a priority for the previous Liberal government, and they failed to help Ontarians who need timely access in addressing their legal matters. The people of Ontario need solutions that will replace the methods that are well slow, outdated and ineffective. Speaker, can the Attorney General please explain how our government is transforming and modernizing access to our justice service? The Attorney General. Speaker, and I want to thank my friend from Richmond Hill for the question, because I am proud to tell everybody here and tell the world what the bold new step, the new era that we're entering, our government's plan to build an accessible and very responsive justice system, we're building on the great work our government has done in collaboration with the courts to transform how people across Ontario access justice. It's no secret to anybody, after years of being ignored by the previous governments, simply put, we needed to drag this system into the 21st century. And I'm proud to announce that we awarded $166 million contract to deliver the most significant digital justice system project in the country, Mr. Speaker, if not North America. It's called the Court's Digital Transformation. It'll completely change how people resolve legal matters of the Superior Court and Ontario Court. Response. Through the implementation of a faster, modern and more efficient new digital justice system, Mr. Speaker, and I'll explain more in the supplementary. The supplementary question. Thank you to our Attorney General. My constituents in Richmond here will be very happy. Digital access and implementation to other technologies will go a long way to improve how people interact with Ontario's justice system. As a government, we must ensure that our province's justice system is effective and supports streamlined court operations. It is equally important that current technology is available in courtrooms across our province in order to overcome longstanding barriers in the justice system. Modernisation of these vital services through critical investments is essential to speed up access to services. Speaker, can the Attorney General elaborate on how technological advancements will improve Ontario's justice services? Thank you. The Attorney General. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. And I just want to thank my colleagues in our government because they are committed to modernising and digitising government services so that they're more available to Ontarians in every part of Ontario. And the Premier's commitment to this modernisation is historic, Mr. Speaker. Through this platform from Thomson Reuters, we'll deliver a new platform that will allow you to file documents quickly and easily online, digitise access to court cases, information online. That's good for transparency, Mr. Speaker. Pay fees online, connect virtually to hearings, manage court appearances, receive decisions electronically, Mr. Speaker. We're going to make sure that this antiquated system we put up with for decades, the paper-based system is a thing of the past, Mr. Speaker, but it couldn't be done without our partners in the justice, the courts, the users, and, of course, the legal associations, Mr. Speaker. It's in addition to our justice-accelerated strategy in 2021 and 2022, we've put in tens of millions of dollars to transform the system, Mr. Speaker. We're not just making change, we're changing how change is made. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Thank you very much. The next question, the member for Nicodale. Thank you, Mr. President. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is for the Premier, Ontarians, particularly in the North, I believe that the government is ignoring our needs in favor of the rich friends. The government said that he was going to clean things up, but that's what he kept telling us during the last election. But now he's involved in a scandal that is about violating ethnic rules for members of his staff have quit and there's ministers that have quit as well, and they're all looking for lawyers to protect them. The minister, the Premier said that the buck stops with him. So will the Premier finally tell us the truth and explain his personal involvement in the Greenbelt scandal? Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. As you know, as I said earlier, the integrity commissioner will be reviewing that, but the integrity commissioner also did say this. He said, in fact, I found that the Premier's office staff were not providing direction. He went on further to say, I accept the purpose of the decisions to remove lands from the Greenbelt was to address the housing crisis. Now, this member in the North should know just how important it is that we address the housing crisis. She, of course, was part of a coalition with the Liberals that said that the North was just a wasteland, right? That nobody should make investments in the North. They stood by the Liberals when they made that claim. This member from the North stood by the Liberals when they made that claim. Now, here's what we're doing. We're restoring the Northlander, right? Because that's what is important to do for the North. We're opening up the economy of the North. You know, when I visited to Canora, I visited Canora to open up to groundbreak on a new long-run care home and a housing project there. I got delayed because, you know what, they were blasting because they were making new roads in Canora. That is what we are doing when it comes to the North. We're getting the job done for all Ontarians, including your constituents. And a supplementary question, the member from Mishigawak, James Bay. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. There are so many questions without answers that this Premier isn't answering concerning the scandal of $2.2 billion. Once again, to the Premier, how have there's speculators were able to convince you to reduce the size of the green belt before that information was even made public? Who provided them with that information before it was made public? Hi, Mr. Speaker. Again, I've addressed this multiple times in the House Speaker. The integrity commissioner has addressed that multiple times within his report. I refer the member to page 135, page 140, page 141 and page 142. Perhaps he can refresh himself. At the same time, he might want to take a look at the budgets that we've introduced that have seen prosperity return to many, many parts of the North. You know, we're talking about bringing long-term care homes to the North, Mr. Speaker. We're talking about building homes in Northern Ontario. We're talking about bringing jobs and prosperity back to Northern Ontario. In fact, when we changed the Mining Act to help benefit the people of Northern Ontario, the member for Sudbury, whose writing is so dependent on mining jobs, voted against it. But we shouldn't be surprised, right? Because they supported the Liberals when they called the North a wasteland. They supported the Liberals who brought in carbon taxes which directly impact the people of the North, Mr. Speaker. To the people of the North, I say very directly, we'll get the job done for you. The NDP and Liberals have always failed you. We will not. Order. The next question, the member for Beaches, East York. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is to the new Minister of Environment, Conservation and Parks. I look forward to working together with you. The Green Belt scandal has left an $8.3 billion stain on this government, resulting in the resignation of ministers and senior staff. And while the decision has been reversed, I seriously worry about the environment under this government's leadership. And so do Ontarians. Notably, the previous Minister of Environment was absent from the discourse of the Green Belt sale, at least publicly, when the destruction of the Green Belt would directly affect Ontario's environment. Mr. Speaker, why wasn't the Ministry an active participant in the Green Belt task force and how will this Minister be involved in the development of upcoming legislation that will return the Green Belt lands to their protected status? The Minister of Missful Affairs and Housing. Again, it is worth noting that this, the Green Belt, the changes that we had anticipated making the Green Belt and that are no longer happening are not costing taxpayers a cent, Mr. Speaker. Unlike the Liberals who cost the taxpayers billions of dollars and what did they accomplish with it? What did the Liberals accomplish with? The billions of dollars that they cost? Nothing. Their big accomplishment was that 300,000 jobs fled the province of Ontario. They called the north of Wasteland. They said that Ontario should transition to a service economy, forget manufacturing. That is the legacy of the Liberal Party. It was a progressive Conservative government that actually brought in the Ministry of Environment. It was a progressive Conservative government that protected the Oak Ridge's terrain, Mr. Speaker. We'll take no lessons from a party that opened up the Green Belt 17 different times. In fact, what are we doing? We're protecting the Green Belt. We're codifying it in legislation. We're adding 9,400 acres to it. The largest increase in lands ever, Mr. Speaker, and we'll... The House will come to order so we can resume question period. Start the clock. I recognize the member for her supplementary question. Should I start again? Wake up. We're in a climate emergency. A unit... The Green Belt scandal should have alerted you to Ontarians values that they value our environment and are extremely concerned of the climate emergency. And as we face this climate crisis, we need strong and proactive environmental leadership. At the end of the Ministry of Environment, Conservation Parks quietly released a report called the Provincial Climate Change Impact Assessment. And the previous minister had no press conferences about it, and this government has yet to say a word. Maybe it's because the findings are so damning. Ontarian is not doing enough of infrastructure or for Ontarians to protect us from the future. Your financial family officer even told you that. Mr. Speaker, does the new minister... Mr. Speaker, does the new minister believe in... Order. ...there's a climate crisis? And how will she utilize the recommendations from the Climate Change Impact Assessment Report to influence... Thank you. Thank you very much. To respond to the Premier. You know, again, anything coming from the Liberals supported by the NDP, you know, I find it really, really rich. And I really like Triple M. We work together. We work together at Queen's Park. You've been sucked in Triple M. I'm sorry for that. But let's talk about the infrastructure. Let's talk about the $184 billion that we're investing into $50 billion in the hospitals, building 50 sites. Let's talk about the billions of dollars we're spending on transportation, building the largest transportation system in North America, building $30 billion of subways. We're doubling the size of the DTC to get people out of their cars into the subways. Let's talk about the billions of dollars that's being invested by Oklahoma and DeFasco that's taking 2 million cars off the road. Let's talk about the 600 schools that you closed and the hundreds of new schools that we're building. That's what we're doing on infrastructure. The House will come to order. The House will come to order. I've got all morning. I am going to remind members to refer to each other by their ministerial title or the writing that their member represents. Start the clock. The next question. The member for Mississauga, Erin May. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is for the Minister of Transportation. Traffic congestion and gridlock on highways leads to delays and frustrations. For people who live, work or travel through the western part of the GTA, Highway 413 will make a significant difference and have a huge impact on the quality of their lives. The hardworking people across Peeler Region know that Highway 413 will make travel more convenient and will help to prepare for the massive population growth expected in the next 30 years. It is clear that this project is essential not only for the people living in Peeler Region but also necessary for the overall prosperity of Ontario. Speaker, can the minister explain how our government investing in critical highway infrastructure projects like 413 will benefit the people of Ontario? Minister of Transportation. Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. The people of this province sent a very clear message. Build Highway 413. Mr. Speaker, just like my colleagues, I hear the same thing every single day. Gridlock in the GTA is taking away from things that matter most, like spending time with your family. That's why the Peeler Region, one of the fastest growing regions and with the expectation over a million more people, it's even more important for us to build these critical highway infrastructures across the province. Unfortunately, the previous liberal government supported by the official opposition refused to support the building of this highway. They expect the status quo. We're going to continue to invest $27 billion in expanding highway infrastructure across this province. The opposition and the liberals are completely out of touch with the challenges that the Ontarians are facing. That's why, Mr. Speaker, we're going to build highway. Thank you. That's a romantic question. Thank you, Speaker. Ontario need infrastructure to help move people and goods. Our Peeler Region will quickly become overwhelmed. Our government must provide transit relief that will make travel more convenient and will increase opportunities for jobs and economic growth. The reality is that we need critical infrastructure, such as Highway 14, to continue attracting investments here in Ontario. The people of Peeler Region are tired of the voices of no and the people who continuously oppose this project. They expect our government to deliver on building Highway 413 in order to keep up with the GTA population growth and business needs. Speaker, can the minister please elaborate on how Highway 413 will contribute to supporting our province economy and growth? Thanks. Minister of Transportation. Mr. Speaker, we know that building Highway 413 is a right thing to do for families, for the economy and for our future. Under the leadership of the Premier, we've attracted over $25 billion and new investments into this province. Gridlock has cost this province over $11 billion per year and it will only get worse if we don't build these critical highways. Mr. Speaker, Highway 413 will keep the economy moving. During the construction of Highway 413, we will support an estimated 3,500 jobs. We'll add approximately $350 million to the GDP each year and once construction is complete, we will reduce gridlock and keep our goods moving. Mr. Speaker, Highway 413 will also have a dedicated transitway to connect people to major employment centers and attract more businesses to the area. Mr. Speaker, it is very critical that we build for Highway 413 and the independent Liberals. Thank you very much. Next question, the Member for University of Rose Hill. Thank you, Speaker. My question is to the Minister for Municipal Affairs and Housing. Minister, your own experts have said very clearly time and time again that we don't need to open up more land to meet our housing targets. Now, while this government has backed down on opening the green belt, this government continues to force municipalities to expand their boundaries and pave over 35,000 hectares of farmland. Even when municipalities from Hamilton to Waterloo are telling you they can build the homes they need with the land they've already got. Minister, can this government reverse course and stop paving over farmland? The Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing. You saw this yesterday, right? Here it's the next shoe for the opposition, right? It's never about building homes, right? You can never get a question, how can we help you build more homes for the people of the province of Ontario? You'll never get that from them, right? So, no, we're not going to continue to put obstacles in the way of building homes. Let me be very clear. As the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing, I'm going to remove obstacles. You know why? Because it is our job to ensure that the next generation have all of the same advantages that we have. We have one job, one job as parliamentarians to leave the province in better shape than we found it in, Mr. Speaker. And under the Liberals and NDP Coalition, what did you do? You brought the province to its knees. So, no, I will not put new obstacles in the way of building homes. And to our partners who have said clearly that you have enough homes to build, a land to build in your areas, we're going to make sure that you come on board and that we build those homes in those areas. You can catch them. You can remind the members to make the comments to the Chair. The supplementary question. Thank you, Speaker. This government has had five years to fix the housing crisis, and it has never been more expensive, more expensive to rent or buy a home. And that is your legacy. And what we're also seeing now is that housing starts in Ontario are starting to go down. They went down by 20,000 in July, and they went down another 13,600 in August. To build the homes we need for Ontarians, we have been calling on this government time and time and time again to do more to increase density, to increase density in towns and cities so we can build homes in neighbourhoods people want to live in. What is your plan to do that? Minister, Mr. Speaker, is there housing? I can rest assured that we are going to ensure that every community across the province of Ontario will be building homes within their urban boundaries. We can rest assured. Now, Mr. Speaker, now we have been talking about removing taxes from building purpose-built rentals, right? Now, we talked about this. And finally, the federal Liberals agree with us that when you put, they recognize it, when you put a tax that it drives the economy down. And they have finally agreed with us that they've agreed to remove the tax from purpose-built rentals. There's something that we put in the budget. Now, that colleague, you remember, we put this in the budget. The Finance Minister put this in the budget. We're seeing purpose-built rental at the highest level in over 15 years. Now, we put it in the budget. The member talks about it. How did she vote? She voted against it. The member talks about transit and building in communities. But when we talked about densifying around the community infrastructure like GO trains and subway stations, how did she and her party vote? They voted against it. Don't worry, we'll get the job done for your community as well. You're welcome. You're welcome. The member for Algoma, Manitoulin. Thank you, Speaker. My question is to the Minister of Health. Last week, Manitoulin Health Centre announced that they will have to close one of their emergency departments on days throughout October due to a shortage of available doctors. This will mean that people who live in central and western Manitoulin will have to travel at least an extra 40 kilometers when they are experiencing a medical emergency. Before the summer break, I warned the Minister about the shortage of primary care physicians on Manitoulin, and now we are seeing the consequences of understaffing play out. Speaker, this is unacceptable, and this government cannot continue to allow rural emergency rooms to go short staffed. Can the Minister commit that she will not allow ER closures on Manitoulin and become so that it doesn't become a common occurrence? Deputy Premier and Minister Valle. Thank you very much, and I appreciate the opportunity to talk about some of the things that we've been able to do to, in fact, keep emergency rooms open because we know that temporary closures are very disruptive to local communities, and of course the member opposite would know that there has not been a single closure of an emergency room north of the French River which covers the entire northern part of the province. We've worked incredibly hard to make sure that those temporary coverages where committed physicians are prepared to go into communities that are not their host communities and working those hours to make sure that we have that coverage. As I said, there has not been a single emergency department closure. That is a result of the coverage that we've been able to do with physicians. We'll continue to do that work. I know the member opposite, I'm guessing is specifically referencing Mindemoya and we'll make sure that we work with all of those partners to ensure those coverage. Thank you. Let's have a moment of your question. Thank you, Speaker. Again, to the Minister of Health, emergency room closures due to short staffing are becoming common across Ontario in rural and northern communities. Despite raising the community's concerns with the minister time after time, we are still seeing your closures happen across Algoma, Manitoulin, rural hospitals like Manitoulin Health Centre, Lady Dunn Hospital in Walla, the North Shore Health Network, St. Joseph's in Elliott Lake, hospitals in Manitouage and Hornpain work tirelessly to limit closures. However, this government has not shown any urgency in addressing the physician shortage facing Northern Ontario. We know that ignoring the problem is only making it worse. Overburdened doctors in the north are burning out and being forced to close their practices. While I appreciate the minister extending locum coverage in the Manitoulin area, the fact is that officials are still saying it is not enough to avoid ER closures. Question. What is the minister going to do to ensure that all Northerners have reliable access to physicians in their communities? The Minister of Health. I agree on one point and that is the status quo is not acceptable. We were left with the system that frankly wasn't training enough physicians. We had a Liberal government of the day who actually shuttered and reduced the number of residency physicians available for new physicians to train in the province of Ontario. In fact, it is our government under the Premier who has ensured that if you are a physician in any part of Canada and you want to live in practice in the province of Ontario, come on down. We have made it easier for people to do that. A progressive Conservative government that opened a Northern Medical School and it was our government that actually expanded those positions so that we have more physicians being trained in the province of Ontario. We have more access for individuals who want to practice in the province of Ontario and we will continue to do that work because we see a population that is expanding is in aging and wants healthcare and housing. The Member for Simcoe Gray. Thank you, Speaker. My question is for the Minister of Seniors and Accessibility. My writing of Simcoe Gray recently had the pleasure of hosting the Minister for the first annual Grand Parade Fundraiser hosted by Contact Community Services in Alliston. And I want to commend the work of Contact Community Services for their leadership in organizing this event and for the important work they do supporting seniors in our writing. For over 40 years, Contact has provided support to the residents of Simcoe Gray through seniors' programs and a range of other free services for those in need. And I'm very happy to share that Contact Community Services exceeded its fundraising goal of over $20,000 and that they had the most teams registered of any of the walks across Canada. Speaker, can the Minister please explain how events such as the Grand Parade Fundraiser in Alliston are important to the well-being of our seniors across this province? The Minister of Seniors and Accessibility. Thank you to the excellent MPP. He is doing marvelous job advocating for seniors in this writing. He invited me to kick off the Grand Parade and meet the friendliest people in Alliston, Ontario. Events like this are important because they create ways for seniors and their families to get active, be together, and support each other.  I encourage all members to follow their lead and bring seniors in their community together. Thank you. And the supplementary question. Thank you, Speaker, and thank you to the Minister for that response. Our senior population not only provides us with wisdom and experience, they're critical to the continued growth of our communities. Events such as the Grand Parade are important to bring seniors together for social interaction, but we also know that there are needs to be ongoing opportunities for seniors to be engaged in their communities. Our government must continue to work for the many Ontario seniors who built this province, who lent their expertise so that they can remain active, healthy, and live comfortably. Seniors in Ontario deserve our best and our continued support on every level. Speaker, can the Minister please explain how our government is supporting our senior population in this province? The Minister of Seniors and Accessibility. Speaker, social isolation is enemy number one for seniors. Just for me to understand that the best thing we can do is get seniors active and connected. That is why our government invested $6 million this year to support the delivery of over 280 local projects for seniors from educational classes, Zumba, and Picklebow. In fact, Contact Community Services receives $25,000 to help isolate seniors, live with healthy, get engaged, and access research in the community. And that is how we are supporting seniors in single grade across this province, get together, get the support they need, and be in their community. Thank you. The next question. Thank you, Speaker. My question's to the Premier. The property at 502 Winston Road in Grimsby was removed from the Greenbelt. New Horizons Development Group purchased this property after you became Premier. Since then, the co-founders and their families made substantial donations to the PC party. Given public concerns in Niagara, what actions have you taken to investigate potential links between these donations and the Greenbelt decision? Mr. President, how's it going? Thank you, Speaker. In fact, it was the integrity commissioner who took a look at that. And I refer the member to page 142. I cannot find the political donations were the basis for the decision to remove lands from the Greenbelt accordingly. I find that that was an objective basis for decision. The objective basis for the decision was namely a housing crisis. The integrity commissioner, actually on page 140, referenced the fact that all political parties received donations from the exact same people, Mr. Speaker. But the reality is what we are trying to do is build more homes for the people, the province of Ontario, including in that member's own community. Now that member is a member who voted against, of course, long-term care. She voted against new hospitals in her community. Thankfully, there is a good conservative member in that progressive conservative member in that area who's bought more investments in Niagara. I think that all of the other members combined from Niagara, since probably confederations. Thank you to the member. Thank you to Mr. Osterhoff for the great work that he has done in bringing investment and jobs to his community. Last member to report to their colleagues by the writing name of ministerial title. Supplementary question. Thank you, Speaker. Don't you find the timeline is concerning? New horizons purchased of 502 Winston Road followed by significant donations from the co-owners family to the PC party. Note, many being their first ever provincial contributions before the 2022, no donations. And afterwards, we see max donations, over $10,000. What have you done to investigate the surge in the financial support and the degree of favoritism in the Greenbelt sale off? Mr. Chairman, I'll be. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Of course, that is something the integrity commissioner will look into, but you talk about favoritism, right? You talk about favoritism. This is a member who voted against the expansion of roads in her community. We were just in Niagara Falls last week. We were in Niagara Falls last week, and I can't tell you how many people came to us and said, finally we have a government that cares about our region. Finally, there are members of parliament, provincial parliament that care about our region. We have new hospitals going in. We have the Skyway being expanded, Mr. Speaker. She, of course, voted against that. We have long-term care. Now, the best part of it is, colleagues, that when we break ground on long-term care, this shows up. Oh, yeah. We have to be. They show up. They want to take credit for it, Mr. Speaker. But then they don't tell their constituents and colleagues, well, we voted against it. We're just here to take credit for it. Come on. You know full well what the job of a member of provincial parliament is. It's to bring investment to your community, and there's only one member in that area who's doing it. It's the member for Niagara West. Yes! Once again, I'll remind members to please make their comments through the chair. Start the clock. The next question, the member for Burlington. Thank you, Speaker. My question is for the Minister of Tourism, Culture, and Sport. How great, Minister. Today, delegations from the Tourism Industry Association of Ontario are holding meetings with members and with our government to update us on their work to provide new and innovative tourism experiences to locals and visitors alike. It's vital that we value and appreciate their insight as we all work together to understand and address the challenges facing businesses in the tourism sector. Speaker, can the Minister please explain what our government is doing to support Ontario's tourism industry? No, that's a good question. Mr. Tourism, Culture, and Sport. Mr. Speaker, thanks for the question. And I'd also like to thank her for all the work she has done in a very short period of time and the impact she has made not only in her community, but across Ontario. Mr. Speaker, tourism touches us all in many ways. And today it's touched us a lot because we've had the great pleasure of not only having a reception last night with the leadership group and people around and colleagues showing up, but today in meetings. Tourism has, I have found, become very special to me in many ways. When I've had conversations and understand what tourism does on driving economic power into our province, how they do it, and how they went through a very tough time. And the most interesting part, and I've met with a lot of them, Mr. Speaker, and I'm going to meet with more of them because they're inspiring. They're inspiring because when you say and sit down, they don't say, here, I need this help. They say, we have a problem. Here's our solution. Will you work with us to get to that solution? And you bet we will, Speaker. It's not a magic question. Thank you, Speaker, and thank you to the minister for his response. It's encouraging to hear the minister's confidence in our province's tourism industry. Today's meetings with members of the Tourism Industry Association of Ontario are timely since tomorrow is World Tourism Day. That being said, it's also a reminder that while tourism is celebrated and recognized internationally, it's also a highly competitive industry. Speaker, can the minister please explain how our government is partnering with the tourism industry to unlock its true economic potential and ensure Ontario remains a world-class tourism destination? Mr. Tourism. Mr. Speaker, another great question. I think the right word there is partnering. It's not so much working. It's partnering with people. It's understanding their dilemma and their situation. And as I said in the earlier answer, it's so refreshing to sit down with people and have them have solutions to their own problems and look for a partner to work with. We are that partner. And when I look across the industry and really, Mr. Speaker, like most things that comes down to people, the types of people you're dealing with and who we've been dealing with in the tourism industry have enlightened, have expanded and have been aggressive to go through a tough time, come out the other side and find ways to be better. And a great example, and I won't necessarily mention, yeah, I will, Blue Mountain, a ski resort, but Blue Mountain has taken a turn and they do things other than just with snow, Mr. Speaker. They take advantage of the landscape, the natural beauty. They do so many things to draw people to their area. And that's just not about Blue Mountain. That's about the whole region. And there are regions across this province that have so much to offer like Blue Mountain and the people that are in this. Thank you very much. We are doing those things. Thank you. This is our question period for this morning. Member for Oxford has a point of order. Very much, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, on a point of order, I'd like to introduce the class from Rayabot School in the great village of Norwich who are here this morning. I would have done it earlier, but they were caught in the traffic and they couldn't get here, but they are here now and we'd like to say welcome to Queens Park. Yeah! The member for Muskegouac James Bay, apparently, is a point of order. Merci, Monsieur le Prudence. Thank you, Speaker. I would like to rectify my record. I mentioned 2.8 billion and it should have been 8.3 billion instead. That's a legitimate point of order. The member for Carlton. Mr. Speaker, it's come to my attention that when the page from Carlton was introduced, apparently his last name was mispronounced. It was pronounced as wordsly and not whirly and I received a call to my office asking if this could be corrected on the record. I apologize for mispronouncing the page's surname. Thank you for bringing it to my attention. Are there any more points of order before we adjourn? I'd rather recess, I should say. This House stands in recess until 3 p.m.

the reality of what meungsters are nowadays looking up to he'll say to you why are you selling drugs for stop this it's haram you advise him not to do it what's his reason I need to earn respect I need to get money I need money علم أكرم المآثل مآثل the word مآثل means the best inherited thing that's what the word مآثل means it's something that is generation after generation inherited so it's the most honorable مآثل مآثل the best inherited thing is علم و أحمد الموارد مآوارد and the best source is the source of knowledge فالسعيد من حض نفسه عليه و هثر كابا روحه إلي والشقي من زهد فيه أو زهد وأبعد عنه أو بعد أنفه بأريج العلم مزكوم و ختم القفا هذا عبد محروم the author says فالسعيد حبينس is for who من حض نفسه عليه the one who urges himself the one who pushes himself to what to knowledge و هثر كابا روحه إلي and he what he also rides his riding beast which is on towards the direction of knowledge the way the recap is your riding beast so you direct and you put effort in making sure that the recap which is a riding beast روحه إلي your soul is on that you take it towards knowledge in other words today driving to places where knowledge is sought exerting the effort in making sure that you take your riding beast towards knowledge والشقي شقي is the bankrupt destroyed individual is من زهد فيه the one who boycotts knowledge او زهده or he makes people boycott knowledge so what زهده means he boycotts it او زهده or he makes the people boycott you go to the people and he will say to the people ياري هالقوم or people are you guys always sitting here people are out there making real money you guys are in the mischief just sitting around listening to that's the reality and if today it was said that one of us our parents inheritance is being given would make sure that we participate would you miss a gathering where your father's money is being divided knowledge is the inheritance of the messenger العلماء وارثة الأنبياء وإن الأنبياء لم يورزوا درحا من ولا دينارا وإنما ورثوا العلم وإنما اخذوا واخذوا بحذل وافر what is it that they inherit from the scholar and the prophet knowledge so you're in here a gathering right now where you're taking the process of inheritance and that's the best thing to take why would you be missing from a gathering like that would you go to the marketing would say to the people inheritance is being divided and so the people would come or no money being divided or no money being shared and they would look at the people the prophet is a message and his religion is what's been shared وابعد عنه or he becomes distanced from knowledge or he makes others distanced from knowledge he becomes distanced from knowledge and if he ever comes to a and he hears a bit of technical terms here and there he's already put off he doesn't want to learn يا أخي يا أختي الفاضلة والله أخرجكم من بطوني أمهاتكم لا تعلمون شيئا we all came out of the womb of our mothers no one knew anything no one walked out of the womb of their mother narrating a hadith and knowledge لا everybody attained knowledge as they were on so to distance yourself from it it just shows that you're dim with it then the author says أنفه بأريج العلم مسكومن this person's knowledge sorry his nose is sealed from knowledge أنفه بأريج العلم ما معنى أريج أريج means fragrance it means the smell a nice smell of knowledge as though knowledge is a perfume and a nice fragrance that comes out of the perfume مسكومن when مسكومن originally comes from زوكام زوكامن is a person who has a flu what happens to a person who has got a flu their nose is blocked right so the person who distance himself from knowledge and boy cuts knowledge is like a person who has a flu he's ill and a person who has got a flu can he smell a nice fragrance and whatnot so blocked this person is أنفه بأريج العلم مسكومن his nose is blocked from the fragrance of knowledge وختم القفا and it is sealed there's a stamp placed on his neck قفا means what his neck what is it that's placed on his neck a stamp it's written on this stamp هذا عبد محرومن this is a slave who has been prohibited from any form of good coming his way this person he is محرومن the حرومن is two types he doesn't mean it's محرومن in the sense it is the technical شرعي version of حرام because the حرام is what it can be تحريم or التحريم شرعي تحريم قدري is like قوله تعالى وحرمنا عليه المراضع من قبله الله سبحانه وتعالى نبي الله موسى عليه الصلاة what happened when Allah took his mother when Allah took mousa from his mother and mousa went when did he choose not to do mousa chose not to take the milk of any other woman الله says when he chose not to take any other woman's breast was it شرعي was it حلالة حرام وحرامناه means that we prevented him from a قدري university that he wouldn't take any other until his mother only his mother وحرامن على قرية نهلكناها this is like that is قدري تحريم this عبد محرومن is a slave who is prevented from knowledge because they believe knowledge is a means and action is the ultimate goal صح many people believe that right they'll say to you أخي knowledge is a means and the objective and the ultimate goal is actions وهذا خطأ that's a mistake وليها الكبن الجوزي he said that knowledge is action and it's from the greatest of actions the reason is because knowledge is two types and knowledge which is وسيلة نعم and in knowledge there is knowledge which is the ultimate goal like learning توحيد and understanding توحيد it's an عمل it's an ultimate it's an objective the شريعة wants that from you isn't that the case فعلم أنه لا إله إلا الله so not all form of knowledge is a وسيلة it's not a means some of it is objective it's an ultimate goal the شريعة wants then the author brings a line of poetry from العلامة ابن القيّم الجوزية in his كافية الشافية في الانتصار للفرقة النارجية which he says والعلم يدخل قلب كل موفق من غير بواب والاستيدان ويرده المحروم من خذلانه لا تشقن الله مبي الحرماني after he bought وختم القفا a stamp would be placed on the neck of the person and it would be said هذا عبد محروم this is a person it's a slave who's really been prevented then the author brought the line of poetry والعلم ونالج يدخلوا it enters what كل موفق anybody who Allah wants to talk for him Allah wants to give him good knowledge just enter it knowledge doesn't knock on the door of that person's heart it just purely goes in he just takes it in a certain like that من غير بواب والاستيدان there's no بواب محمد بواب Egypt remember the bawabi is the one who's at the bottom door yeah بواب he takes a bushel of your body he looks after the building those who go to Egypt know a bawabi is a person who who is not to stand this is a security guard kind of thing but he's a door security that's why the woman when she was crying and she was crying and the prophet SAW said to her إصبري إصبري وحتسبي be patient and a way to reward from Allah and she said دعني leave me alone it has not afflicted you what has afflicted me it has not afflicted you what afflicted me she doesn't know who she's talking to she was in a state of sadness and loss stress she just lost her loved one so the message stood over her and he told her to be patient a way to reward from Allah she said without giving any attention to who she was talking to she said to them leave me alone you have verily not been afflicted with what I was afflicted with and the prophet left some of us would have said oh listen how are you there you talk to me like this the prophet left and he walked away when he had left when he had left the woman was informed do you know who you just spoke to when he said that to you she said who I was the messenger of Allah she got up and she ran to the prophet's house she said فلم أجد له بوابن when I came to his door there was no bawaab no security guard who was protecting the prophet's house and some of the scholars they take from this this was after the quluh who came down يا أيها الرسول بلغما انزل إليك من ربك وإن لم تفعل فما بلغت رسالتها والله يعصب والله يعصب والله يعصب والله خمس before that the prophet used to have a serious security guard he did at the beginning that's what the sahaba used to make sure they looked after the prophet but when this ayah came down the messenger was like he was told to convey the message and he was told to go out there and teach the people when this verse came down his door عليه صلاة وسلم was not guarded anymore because Allah told him وَاللَّهُ يَعْصِمُ كَمِنَ الْنَاسِ الله يُسْ جُونَهُ بِرْتَكْتِهُ فَمْنَهُ فَمْنَ الْبِيْبُلُ لذلك العلم يدفع إلى هذا المنزل من غيرِ بَوَابِ لا يوجد سكورتغاة بلده الله يُنزل سكورتغاة الشبوهات و الشاوات they're the ones that block they're a bo'ab that won't let you you know that security guard doesn't just let you go into the building show us an ID I work here I just forgot my ID today no you know me every day I come in now something like that can happen to a person when it comes to knowledge there's a bo'ab blocking the door شخش is going to bring it later إن شاء الله تعالى in the معاقل the chapters من غيرِ بَوَابِ وَالاستِ إِذانِ إِسْ تِإِذانِ means to take permission knowledge doesn't take permission in the heart of a mu'afaq it just enters his heart وَيَرُدُهُ المَحْرُون من خِضِلانِهِ but the one who is prevented the word خِضِلان is what the one who is not given victory knowledge will not enter his heart then the author says لَا تُشْقِنَ اللَّهُمَ بِالْحِرْمَانِ do not prevent us from do not prevent us from entering knowledge entering our hearts and you do see many people a حالقة is going on a lesson is going on they were in the message they have nothing to do they're just going to go home and play use their phones do something and Salah goes and in a book he's open and as soon as the sheikh says الحمد لله he jumps and he runs out of the message he takes his shoes where are you going where are you running to I'm sure you have nothing to do you don't even have a 95 job where are you going you might as well sit a benefit but he doesn't he does not benefit why he is محروم he's what هذا عبد محروم it's a slave who's being prevented and prohibited then the author goes on to say وَإِنَّ مِمَّا يَمْلَأُنَّاكْسَسُرُورًا وَيَشْرَحُ الصَّدْرَ وَيُمِدُهُ نُورًا إِقْبَالُ الْحْقَلْقِ عَلَا مَقَاعِدِ التَّعْلِبِ وَتَلَمْ مُسَّهُمْ صِرَاطَهُ المُستَقِيمِ وَإِنَّ مِمَّا وَاِنَّا مِمّا... and from the things من هِيز تَبْعِظيَة the man he has a straight which is what وَإِنَّا وَفَرْلِس مِمَّا but when you write it you write whatمن مَا صح ادغام take space they enter each other وَإِنَّا مِمَّا يَمْلَأُنَّاكْسَسُرُورًا وَةْ fills the fill the nafs with happiness what makes you really happy مقاعد تعليم يعني حلق ذيكر سيركوز of knowledge one of the things that brings about happiness and really makes your chest wider and open when you see that the khair is still present in the ummah so this is after speaking about that there are slaves هاد عبد محروم والعلم يدخل قلب كل موافق من غير بواب ولاستئدان ويروده المحروم من خدلان لا تشقين الله بالحرمان but that's not everyone ما زال الحق اما ما زال الخير في الأمة the khair is still present in the ummah they're still good there are people whose hearts are still alive still alive who are going to circles of knowledge even in countries that are not muslim who are coming to seek knowledge I want to attain knowledge and gain knowledge but when the author said اقبال الخلق I know صالح ابن عبدالله الحمد للعسيم he's a sheikh I can say he's one of my sheikhs الحمد لله I listened to his شرح of مواطع ممالك in the prophet's misjid but there are things when I read the book that I personally would disagree with he's writing on so wherever I do find it I'll say that this is incorrect so when he said اقبال الخلق the creation are turning towards على مقاعد التعليم so it would have been better if he said باعد الخلق some of the creation because not only of them are not only of the creation are coming to المقاعد the circles of knowledge و تلمسهم بمعنى تلمسهم seeking سراطه المستقيم the straight path seeking what سراطه المستقيم the straight path تلمس means is to seek they are trying to seek the straight path و ادل دليل و اصدقه the most evident thing the greatest proof to show this that there is still خير in this umma and there are people who are out there trying to learn and there are people who are trying to seek knowledge coming from different places some of you guys came from east London some of you guys came from north London some of you guys came from south London any of you came from south London any of you came from south London اللهم الحمد لله يسيدنا I'm from south London and some of you guys came from west London and some of you guys came from west London صح? yeah yeah this is the evidence for it و ادل دليل و اصدقه one of the greatest evidence to show that the people are still in love of knowledge and they want to learn is دروس العلمية تليو اللهم الحمد لله you see posters coming out شفنان is teaching these books اللهم الحمد لله so it's teaching these books again up north up south different all of the country you're hearing تكاتلوا دروس العلمية the growing of the amounts of lessons that are taking place this is the ادل دليل و اصدقه it is the most evident and the most apparent evidence to show و اصدقه show that it's truthful what تكاتلوا دروس العلمية the increasing numbers of lessons الحمد لله recently I know if you guys realize people are now leaving off a bit of lectures and reminders heart softening it's starting to turn into lessons بوكس صح? حمد لله because to be honest lectures and muhadarat are for people who are already studying جنرally speaking it's like paracetamol a person takes paracetamol when can they take paracetamol as food? can they? no paracetamol as a person who is living a good healthy life who is eating good food who is healthy sometimes you're a human illness might afflict you or you might have a flu or what not you take a paracetamol right? a person can't make that their food they can't make that their form of nutrition علب is a nutrition is when a person nurtures himself with and whenever he feels a bit down or he feels like when he's seeking knowledge he starts slightly starting to go his memorization of the Quran he's not catching up to his colleagues and friends in the circles of knowledge in the Quran or the حفد of the متون a little lecture is given tomorrow the sheikh announces a lecture tomorrow I'm going to talk about the importance of knowledge or or this person comes his aspiration grows and he goes back to what he was doing but if you make lectures the main course meal what it does is that you make the people's aspiration go down after they leave you they go they have no alternative you've made the aspiration go but after this lecture where do I go where do I carry on and so that's why I think they should do this have lectures on once a week or once a month and use the lecture to bring in people to go to lessons say these are the schedule now everyone listen this is the kitab that's going to happen in the morning on this day and this day and this day bring them to circles and use what because many of the times people come up to you and you're looking at them because you've come to the masjid you're looking at them and saying I don't know what to tell you this masjid doesn't have no program so what was the benefit of talking about seeking knowledge if there is no path for them to take it's a problem so the sheikh و أدلوا دليلين وأصدقوا تكاثلوا دروس العلمية وتوالي الدورات التعليمية وتوالي again it means like تتعاقبوا it is one after the other الدورات is what سمناس التعليمية educational seminars like this هلاوة في قلوب المؤمنين the increasing numbers of classes and the increasing amount of دورات is what حلاوة في قلوب المؤمنين it brings sweetness and joy to the hearts of the believers whenever you see a poster of a brother out there giving you know teaching sciences and religion حلاوة it becomes sweetness it brings about happiness واشجن في قلوب في حلوق الكفرات والبنافقين but it's a thorn in the necks of who the disbelievers and the hypocrites it's a thorn in their necks whenever they see it's increasing they bring in systems into place تقلقهم off دولل who is this person don't let him in because they know واشجن واشجن في قلوب المؤمنين الكفرات والبنافقين the disbelievers and the hypocrites فدروس معقودة معقودة these lessons are noted معقود means what it is noted meaning it's set and it is organized so he's trying to say that the people sitting together are close and it is also what the knees are معقوفة the web comes from وقوف وقوف shows when you remain somewhere and you don't move from there the knees are there people are not moving from the circles of knowledge they are just being consistent upon it والفوائد والشارقة and the benefits are springing from the different circles والنفوس تائقة and the people's souls are in desire of this so wanted to hear it gems is coming الأشياء ينثلون دورة العلم الأشياء means that scholars and the sheikhs who are teaching ينثلون دورة العلم ممعني ينثلون it means they are bringing out دورة العلم the gems of knowledge the jewels so he's trying to say that the مشايخ who are teaching and who are educating what's coming out of their mouth is like pearls it's like diamond دورر is gems are coming out of their mouths so the sheikhs are extracting those gems for the people والتلامذة عقده and the students are taking those gems that are coming out of his mouth and they're placing it in عقد here means what a head what's it called a necklace right they're placing inside a necklace when you put something inside a necklace the gems are coming out of his mouth they're all going all over the place but the students taking it and he's organizing it so he means that they're taking the gems the eloquence of the sheikh this is how he talks this is how he generally eats I don't translate I explain I try to explain to his because there's a lot of in there والتلامذة these gems that are coming out from his mouth they are knotting it and they are placing it inside the the rope وإن من الإحسان from the excellences from the excellences إلا هادي الجموء الصال عدة so the sheikhs what are they doing they're teaching these benefits these gems they're bringing it out of the books and one person I can truly say is like this is himself أشيخ ابن عبدالحمد العصيب if you listen to him you don't know where to start with the gems that are coming out of his mouth so much it requires for you to listen to one lecture of his 4-5 times in order for you to really understand so the sheikhs since that's the case that the students are here they're doing they're not moving and they are placed in that place and not moving from it and the benefits are just coming out so what is upon him وإن من الإحسان from the excellences from righteousness is إلا هادي الجموء الصال عدة is this rank of people who are coming this patch of people who are coming from the excellences is والأجيال الواعدة and also the generation that are awaited and أجيال الواعدة means what? the awaited generation the people who are hoped to come إرشادها تقايدهم from the excellences is to guide them these people who are sitting who are sitting in the circus تلان and they're here for knowledge and they want to be true scholars the sheikhs are from excellence and from righteousness is إرشادها تقايدهم تواد إلى سر حيازتي العلم the secrets of what إلى حيازة العلمة how to memorise and how to hold down knowledge it's upon him it's from the excellence and it's from the إحسان الذي يذفرها بمأمولها معنى يذفرها that knowledge which is going to make them successful بمأمولها which they hope for is to guide them to the secrets of how they can memorise that knowledge and how they can understand that knowledge that knowledge which is what which will bring about for them success that knowledge which is something that they are truly hoping for where you باللغها ملحها and that knowledge which will make them reach safety the reason I'm doing that is رحمة بهم I'm very merciful towards them من الضياع في صحراء الأراء وظلماء الأهواء رحمة بهم in state of mercy for them that's why I chose personally to go through this book because all of these signs that we're learning a lot of it the sheikh is going to help you how to learn it and this book is an amazing profound book so the author says رحمة بهم merciful towards those students من الضياع from getting forsaken and lost how many people go to Egypt who go to seek knowledge you sit with them so how many books have you finished and he says to you I haven't when he speaks Arabic he's struggling what happened to this individual if you ask him about the مراكز and the institutes and you ask him about what's taking place in the land he'll tell you everything they'll say مرخز فولان they have 7 teachers each teacher teaches this time he knows the detail have you guys seen what's it called it's called the Islamic directory come on you guys back in the days when internet didn't really exist my parents used to have this directory and yeah no it's not yellow it's a muslim yellow pages it basically is it shows all the Islamic schools where they are their numbers their details all the muslim halal chicken and chip shops all of the all of the meat shops that's where you used to find it you just open it and it'll tell you all the shops and things any muslim who's looking for a job everything will be there have you guys never heard of it I mean this is all before internet came into place this is all before internet came into place anyways the point is I forgot why I mentioned that so the people of Egypt are like that a lot of the youngsters and the youth are like this they like that directory they'll tell you everything do you want إجمال or do you want of the issue if you want إجمال which is I can give you a comprehensive understanding which I'll go into proper details yes they will but what did you learn nothing the reason is because they did not get a منهجية a book like this would have helped them so that's the problem رأمة بهم من الضياعي I'm doing this out of mercy from knowledge from them becoming forsaken and lost in what في صحراء الأعراء صحراء means in the Arabic language an open abandoned place that's what it means it's anyway that's open land and people don't reside it's an abandoned place that's called صحراء so that's what I'm scared and I've been very merciful that they get lost in the desert in the deserted land in what في صحراء الأعراء opinions you see how many people advise when you go and you get lost in the ocean of advices that people throw at you if you study the book like this you won't be forsaken you know why you're there for you know what it you want to achieve and you know how you're going to do it you have a منهجية methodology to tread on في صحراء الأعراء this book will help you from opinions and this is what destroyed the Muslim Ummah today opinions everyone wants to throw his two cent in and he wants it to be taken into consideration and we were told what اتبعوا ما انزل إليكم من ربكم ولا تتبعوا من دونه أولياء we were commanded to follow the نصوص الوحيين الكتاب وصنة we were specifically explicitly told to follow those two opinions they have to be in line with the Kitab and the Sunnah as الامام مالك رحم الله يسد كله يؤخذوا من قوله ويترك everybody state statement and view is either taken or it's rejected إلا صاحب هذا القبل except the مسج عليه الصلاة والسلام the message عليه الصلاة والسلام ولذلك الامام ابن تيميا he said in his مجموعة الفتاة هو اصله بلال من ضل the foundation and the ناس of every individual who became misguided was what الأراء opinion لذلك those people who were the most انتلاكشل مسلم such as فخردين الرازي and others in later stages of their lives they realized they became confused but did they say ولم نستفيد من بحثنا طول زماننا we did not benefit anything in the years of our hard work except what do they mean what does he here mean بقيلة وقال theories that's to many people many people are they just memorize so many different أراء in مدهب الحقيقة and if you ask him ما هي القول الراجح في this مسألة among which one is with the daleel he doesn't know it and what does it benefit you كل مسألة you tell him there's two collins ثمت فيه ثلاث أقوال there's three opinions in this issue هاي جميل who said it they say وإبراهيم النخعي ولو زاعي وابو ثوري and Ahmed and I will zed this وستدليلو I don't know look at Ibn Kathir's please read it Ibn Kathir is what is مقدمة in his he mentions the in this issue of those who bring آيات and they bring so much أقوال in the آيات they don't say which collins he took this from sheikh al islam مقدمة في أصول التفسير جمع الأقوال it does not benefit you let alone just because it needs you to what just stick into a person's opinion then the author said وظلماء الأهوائي and the darkness وظلماء is darkness of desires وظلماء أهوائي what did the poet say دين النبي محمد الأخبار نعم المطية للفتة الأثار لا تعد لنا عن الحديث فالرأي لين والحديث نهار ولا ربما غليض الفتة آثر الهدى والشمس بازغة لها نوار وسته ريليجن أهوائي هو ريليجن عليس صلى الله عليه وسلم is what opposite to our eye and it is also opposite to desires الله يزن القرآن فإن لم يستجيب فعلم أنه ما يتبعون أهواءهم if they don't obey you if they don't follow you محمد then what you need to know is that they are following it so it is either what he or you follow your desires وظلماء الأهواء وذلك لك الله سلم القرآن واتلو عليهم نبأ الذي آتيناه آياتنا فانسلخ منها فأتبعه الشيطان فكان من الغاوين ولو شئنا لا رفعناه بها ولكنه أخلد إلى الأرض واتبع أهواء فمثل كمثل الكلب انتحمل علي يلهد دالي كمثل القومين الذي لقدموا بآياتنا إلا خلايا فوديل الله منشل about him آتيناه آياتنا فانسلخ منها فأتبعه الشيطان فكان من الغاوين الله gave him the the religion and he what some people try to say we gave him آياتنا so he was a prophet علي ابن قيم رحمه الله and he refutes that that he is not this person was not a prophet and I think if I'm not wrong also ibn kathir mentions it that it's not that he was a man of knowledge amongst ibn israel but what did he do he followed his desires so if he followed his desires فانسلخ منها فأتبعه الشيطان فكان من الغاوين he followed his desires the textual evidences so he became misguided ولذلك دفرف صلى الله عليه وسلم حديث الصحيحين من حديث عبدالله من عمر المعاصل إن الله لا ينتزع العلم ينتزعهم السدور الرجال ولكن ينتزع العلم بقبض العلمة حتى إذا لم يبقي عالم اتخذ الناس رؤوس رؤوس جهالة فأفتوا بغير علم فضلوا وضلوا فأفتوا بغير علم فأفتوا برأيهم they give verdicts based on their opinions with those two it explains what it means without knowledge means here برأيهم they are only opinions they will say to you I think I believe this is a pillow so when the signs of the hour is what the scholars are dying and they pass away and another scholar dies and another scholar dies حتى إذا لم يبقي عالم who is alive بقي الجهالة and when he mentioned the division and this unity comes from what ترئيس الجهالة placing and leadership into a person who is ignorant فأفتوا بغير علم then this ignorant one is asked questions فأفتوا بغير علم and he gives further without knowledge فضلوا وضلوا he misguides others and he misguides himself some of the scholars they say some of the rewired say فأفتوا برأيه he gives verdict based on his opinions but this is what knowledge gets rid of knowledge gets rid of opinions and it gets rid of desires so the sheikh says I want to get rid of that for this person I want to advise them not to fall into opinionated opinionated matters my opinion وضلما إلى هو I remember a while back I was watching a show where discussion you know panel discussion I remember who it was but the thought still stuck with me that one of the people on the panel he said we need to take these matters back to people of knowledge and people of authority الله says in the Qur'an فأسألوا أهل ذكرين كتب لا تعلموا take matters back to those who know if you don't know the other one responded and said that's just monopolizing the religion that's just you wanting religion to be taken from a numbered people in the know this Qur'an was sent for everybody every Muslim has every right to open the Qur'an every Muslim has every right to understand the Qur'an because God is talking to him what's this called شبهة صح this Qur'an was not sent for an exclusive people so everybody if I said to this particular person well if that's the case books of medicine that were written by authors they did not write it for a specific group of people what they wrote it for everyone put a buy right so I'm going to read those medical books I'm going to be a doctor straight from there right if a person is found that he becomes a doctor without no certificate but he has no knowledge he has no certificate for it he's not sanctioned by the government what happens to that person what would NHS do he's behind bars صح that's the case so look how it is it's allowed for the religion to be read as is wanted and as he desires but when it comes to medical and scientific and worldly matters no he wouldn't allow it the author then goes on to say وإعمالاً will take a 15 minutes break


So, I'm good afternoon. Myself, Abdullah Nasheed, Department of Chemical Engineering coming from Pondicherry Engineering College. It's been an honour to be part of an online course which is given by IIT Madras. To say about this online course, it's a great opportunity for every student in many other colleges to get a certificate from IIT. And also the courses are made very easy by these video lectures that they are given through NPTEL. And actually, I'm a little bit tense about the exam. Don't know what to do, but yeah, I think I'll get a good grade in the exam. Thank you. I'm Kanshna Devi. I'm from Pondicherry Engineering College. Now I'm pursuing an MTech in the stream of computer science engineering. Now I'm coming here for online NPTEL examinations. And I'm doing the courses in psychology. It is very understandable, but the course is in video manner. So it is difficult to understand because for each course, there will be four videos. So it is very difficult to understand by us and our friends. I'm Kaveri. I'm coming from Pondicherry Engineering College. I'm doing Master of Technology in Distributed Computing System. Why I'm coming to writing the online examination? Introduction to the psychology. The course was very good, but if they're sending some PPT means it will be helpful. The course is too long. I feel very difficult to understand and sitting to listening the course. If they're giving some key points means it will be helpful for me. Good afternoon. I'm Sindhuja. Coming from Pondicherry Engineering College. I'm doing NPTEL course on Introduction to Psychology. It is a 20 hours course. It helps us to understand what other people thinking about us in opposite direction. Hi, I'm Prabhu from Third year IT Pondicherry Engineering College. I came here to write programming in NPTEL exam. It's very useful for me. It's some other language I'm learning. It's very useful other than CC++ and Java. It's very easy for me to learn. The tutor taught us the programming language very easily. The course content was very rich and I also like to give some suggestion to this. At last of all the courses, we like to add some question banks to the later to the courses. It will be very helpful for the students to prepare for the end examinations. Thank you. Hi, I'm Ms. Maulika Mohan from Pondicherry Engineering College. I did an Introduction to Psychology course for duration of three months. The course was quite good. Exam was a little hard for me because the portion which has been covered by them was not in the questions. But the assignment questions was included in the exam. It was quite nice to have those questions in the question paper. The course was good. When we chose the course itself in our college, the first thing is we should not choose the course which has been included in our curriculum. So the course was quite good for us which has been learned from the other subjects which have a nice exposure in other domains. It's a credit certificate in our college. So we will be using for a credit course. A mail has not been updated frequently for few of them. It might have been useful. My name is Ganesh Kumar. I'm from Pondicherry Engineering College. I'm very happy to hear to write the NPTEL exam and I know this NPTEL by my faculty and I have gone through all the videos in the net and hopefully I am here and I had attempted my way in my way and I have exited. I have submitted all the answers and hope I will get a good marks in the NPTEL exam. My name is Shakti Parkavi from Pondicherry Engineering College. I have chosen this NPTEL course because it was recommended by our professors and it was very useful for us and they have conducted very well and it was very nice. We used through videos after that we will be submitting the assignments through which we can learn very easily. It was very easy and some questions were very tough and we have practiced it and we have worked out for that and found the answers. I'm Deepthi. I'm coming from Pondicherry Engineering College. Actually it is not my first course. I took Human Resources and Management before and it was easy to find the centre. I didn't feel any difficulties after taking this course. My name is Prasila. I'm from Pondicherry Engineering College. I chose the psychology subject. Last time I was in the Ray Centre for an exam. The exam was very difficult and easy. I discussed it with my friends in the video lectures and it was very difficult and easy. It was very difficult for me to come to this college because it was very far from here. It was very easy. Hi, I'm Subhashini. I'm from Pondicherry Engineering College. I have chosen psychology now and I have chosen Human Resources Management. I don't watch videos very often. I only refer to slides. It would be easy if we left them alone. It would be easier for us if we had multiple slides. We only cover 10% in a month. It would be better if we covered a lot more. But we are very far from this college. So it would be better if we went somewhere. I'm Sindhu Bharathi. I'm a second year B. Tech triple E student of Pondicherry Engineering College and I've taken data structures and algorithms in Python programming language. I found that course very useful. The lectures and assignments and quizzes we had were really helpful in getting to know about the language more. I chose this course personally because it is not there in our curriculum. I think it is one of the developing languages here. The exam was also very good and the level of questions were mixed. They were easy questions, tough questions and medium level questions for us to easily get the credits and certificate. On the whole NPTEL was very good and really useful. I'm studying B. Tech secondary in Pondicherry Engineering College. I chose this course for improving myself rather than my subjects and I chose introduction to psychology for knowing how the humans react themselves. My name is Asaruddin. I'm from Pondicherry Engineering College. I selected this course for a gate preparation. I found it somewhat difficult and it is easy to reach the portals. It is easy to reach the center of exam. Everything is good. I think it is difficult in that.


This is about your everyday life Can you operate The advanced functions of your TV set at home with ease Can you understand the tech talk from your mobile? telecom provider Well Woman are going to free us from these hassles and I would try to explain why and how The world is turning female womanomics The emerging buying power of woman is a huge opportunity Also for tech industries better education Better jobs higher income make woman a rapidly emerging buying power and a driver for innovation so woman by Tech products but these tragic products are made by man Why is this a challenge? It's a challenge because women feel they get a Bad user experience. They don't feel tech products are designed for them so gender is Definitely a challenge and the potential for tech industries and it's the background for our three years research project called female interaction Co-financed by the Danish government and the result of our research Operational gender guidelines that help company to embrace the female approach To technology with better better offerings I try to give you a little insight in what we found out about gender and technology Men like technology for its own sake for tech companies tech performance is home ground They excel in engineering making smarter better Products with more features. That's a male way of thinking technology But performance tech performance is not motivating in women. What what he makes women is the social benefits of technology Things technology can do for her in her everyday life making it better and easier and Technology needs to be swift to use for her And make her look and feel right in social situations because that's what counts for her It's not about technology that needs to be kept in the background for her. It's about relations to you So for the tech industries, this is a change of agenda from a performance driven male agenda to a female user driven experience design agenda at design people we Love to make better products We love to make better user experiences and we use this know-how to improve Specific product. This is a headset that was a way when you started the top of a line mobile headset from Jabra Made by a famous designer But not bought by woman So a challenge Together with Java or design and research team try to find out why Do women don't buy these products? So we wait intensive user studies And what we found out is that woman like the basic value proposition of these headsets mobile Communication that's something for her, but what doesn't come right is the way The headset enters her life She doesn't like to go around with a headset in her ear because this signals that she's halfway out of a social Situation right now. So it's offense her sense of politeness So we designed something new based on these female preferences. We designed a headset That you have on your clothes with a clip. You only use it on demand With a very physical clear gesture you pick up the phone The cord signals clearly that you're occupied So this is a new headset based on Female values. It's a polite headset and What we find out when we test with woman around the world how they perceive this new headset they love The new offering they love the idea that this is a new headset designed for them And what's even better is that men also are attracted by the new design so what we can say in total is we have now a company Jabra that is attracting women far more efficiently and our Foreseeing for the future is that the woman likes power and the requirements of women will Drive tech companies to deliver far better user experiences for the sake of all Users and we hope that our research and our guidelines can contribute to make this happen. Thank you very much


Okay, so let's try to classify these mixtures as homogenous or heterogeneous. Homogenous or heterogeneous. So what about coffee? What would you say? Homogenous or heterogeneous? Homogenous. Homogenous, homogenous. Yeah, they're not counting the granules I imagine on the bottom of your cup, you know. So like that last nasty swill, you know. But yeah, if we're looking at it this way, like just the regular coffee throughout, that's homogenous. Chocolate sundae? Heterogeneous, definitely. Let's just concentrate on this one. I mean, it depends, right? Like what if the sundae had nuts or something in it? And those little nuts would be in there, and then it would be not. But apple juice? Homogenous. Yeah, homogenous. And gasoline? Homogenous. Yep, homogenous as well. Okay. So any questions on that one? Looks like they only give us one heterogeneous. Good job.
