Lucy and in this video we're going to look at the different types of data that exist and how it can be classified. Starting with data collection. If data is collected by or for the company that is going to use it, it's called primary data. If the data comes from somewhere else, it's secondary data. Secondary data can have many benefits like saving time and money or providing information on past events. But you must carefully consider the reliability and validity of the source. In fact this is true for all statistics. Whenever I read a statistic that interests me, I always look to see where did the data come from and who funded it. You'll often find that the source has an ulterior motive. Now for types of data. Data can be qualitative or quantitative. Things like gender, favourite colour, religion, opinions, anything that is non-numerical. It's qualitative. It's descriptive information whereas numerical things. So things that can be quantified or counted. They're quantitative data. Quantitative data can be discrete or continuous. Discrete data can only take certain values like how many siblings you have. You can't have 2.63 siblings. Whereas continuous data can take any value. It can be measured like your heights. You don't have to be either 174 centimetres or 175 centimetres. You can be somewhere in between. Our final thing to discover is what is the difference between univariate and bivariate data. The prefix uni means one. Like a unicorn with one horn and a unicycle with one wheel. So univariate data is data with one variable. Like if we weighed these babies. We only have one variable. Their weight. Whereas if we also measured the babies. We now have two variables or two types of data. This is bivariate data. With two variables we can make comparisons. We can do different things with univariate and bivariate data. Which we'll look at in other videos. And you can actually have data with more than two variables. This is then multivariate data. Which we don't really need to worry about at this stage. So here are some questions to test your understanding of data. Pause the video and answer them. How did you get on? There we have different types of data. The question that we're asking determines how we collect our data and how we then analyse it. Watch our other videos to discover how to use the different statistical tools. If you liked the video give it a thumbs up and don't forget to subscribe. Comment below if you have any questions.

The Cube at IBM Impact 2014 is brought to you by headline sponsor IBM. Here are your hosts, John Furrier and Paul Gillan. We're here live in Las Vegas for IBM Impact. This is Silicon Angles The Cube, our flagship program. We go out to the events and extract the signal from the noise. I'm John Furrier, the founder of Silicon Angles. I'm my co-host, Paul Gillan. And our next guest here is Gal Shahor, with Distinguished Engineer, Chief Architect for WorkLite. Welcome to the Cube. Thank you. So Paul and I were talking on our intro about the mobile policies on everyone's focused attention right now. Talk a little bit about WorkLite before we get into the mobile discussion. What specifically are you doing there and what is the product and how is it being discussed here at IBM Impact? So WorkLite is really a platform that developers use to develop mobile applications. Now we're not talking about games. We're not talking about simple productivity applications. We're talking about enterprise applications. Now what does it mean? It means security. It means tight operations and being able to know what's wrong for your users. It means integration to backend data. It means very efficient deployment of applications and management of the access. So those things are not coming as part of the mobility tool kits that developers are using today. And this is really what WorkLite is providing. Those enterprise things that people need when they serve the applications, either for the customers or internally. It sounds so easy.  Piece of cake, right? Not really. Come on. So first of all, I agree. It sounds easy. There are 600,000 applications in the app store, right? Anyone can do it. Right. Anyone can do it and very few can do it right. Okay. Very few can get a really high-graded application. Very few can do it with a limited set of resources. Very few can do it with high levels of security. This is really what we're doing, right? You want to make sure that nobody steals the identity of your users. You want to make sure that when there's a crush, when there's an issue with your application, you turn on the flag, you start to collect logs from the devices so that you can pinpoint what's wrong, connectivity to the backend. You want to make sure that it's easy, that it's fast. Anyone can create an API. We actually optimize the access to those APIs. So this is really what we're doing. And what we're doing is really an enterprise scale. So you can actually have 200 million users. We'll do it for you. You can have 1 million users. We'll still do it for you. And we'll do it for you in the meaningful price, right?  That's what we do. Many mobile apps basically duplicate to some degree the function of a website. People do the same things with them that they would do with a website. They look up information. They order products, transactions. What is different about working with the mobile client versus just working with a browser? So first of all, those applications just duplicate what the website is doing are really bad applications, meaning they don't give the user what the user is looking for. So it's not the right experience. It's not, and that's where it starts, right? Unlike the browser, the browser is only working on your large desktop, right? With the large screen, with really good connectivity. A mobile application needs to operate disconnected. A mobile application actually runs on your device and gets installed there. With the website, you can always refresh the browser. With the mobile application, you cannot. The mobile application is installed on your device, not moving anywhere.  Nobody knows that unless you start to find out, look around what's going on in the app, try to bring it and connect it to your server. If you need to manage the versions of your app because there's a bug, there's a security hole in some version, you cannot do it. In a website, you can do it easily. So those are the things really that make a difference. How can I work with my user that has his really tiny device, want to have the best experience, I want to know what bothers him, I want to manage the application for him, I want to operate the application for him and I really want to do it on a very large set of devices. So it's Android, it's iOS, it's Windows Phone, but you know it's not just one type of iOS. Even in iOS, you have fragmentation. You have different versions of iOS in different Geos, you have different sizes of iPad, different sizes of iPhone, not to mention the fragmentation in Android. So the fragmentation, the disconnected nature, the always installed, you cannot force the user to change anything nature, is what differentiates the mobile device from the website and it starts with the experience and then it continues from there. So you've just outlined an enormous number of factors that impact how you would build an application with a mobile device. Can you provide to work like in software enough guidance to help your customers to make intelligent decisions given all those factors, how do you do that? So the answer is we do not provide, we provide some guidance, but at the end of the day we also provide skills. And what happened is that IBM works with a very large number of customers. We get to find out about a very large number of successes and misses. And at the end of the day this is all getting fed into the product and then into the customer. And I can give you several examples. So what's wrong in connecting to the backend? How can people make mistakes? So initially many of our customers just took their website, the website has less services, right?  Now performance was poor because the rest services were not optimized for mobile. Security was poor because now there are many ways that they will not talk about how you can break into this type of communication. And we came in, we improved on that and we solved that. So we come up with the best practices that customers can work with and that gets them 80% of the way. The other 20% in many cases is hard work. And what we're talking about is really a development cycle where you develop, you deploy your application, analyze the responses, find out what's wrong either operationally or from an experience perspective and then improve again. All that obviously with testing, with auto testing so that you can actually know that you release something that works and with the ability to report issues from customers. And that's really what we give in work-life. I mean, it's a lot of hard work but when you make it, it works for you. Talk about SoftLayer and how that plays into the work-life strategy. SoftLayer gives you a very robust cloud infrastructure that's global, that has high reliability, response time reliability. What does that add to work-life to make it a more appealing option? So we like to say that mobile drive the cloud and mobile need the cloud, okay? It's being, having a cloud on your side is really important to our customers, really important to us. Because at the end of the day, you want to deploy your mobile backend on a scalable server in a very agile way. And SoftLayer gives that to you across the globe. Now, before the software acquisition, we had ways to provide agile deployment to our customers. But customers really want the ability to go to the cloud, have a different expense model, have a much better agility. And what we do today is we have work-life deployed in SoftLayer. We have two ways to deploy work-life in SoftLayer. One is using something that we call a pattern.  So think about McDonald's, right?  Somewhat similar. Don't really need to know what's going on. Just throw the software in and a cluster is deployed to you. Now that's one option. Another option is to say, wait a minute, I'm a chef. I want to make my own dish.  So two different options on the public cloud, really good scale, really good results. And that's what we do today in SoftLayer. And probably not to come in the future, but it's really about engaging with our customers, see what they need, what they want, and then improving on what we have right now. So, and if we're talking about the cloud, we also have, you know, Bluemix, right? So I got to ask you about the scale piece, because obviously I just tweeted out there that this is not for your average startup, this product, work-life. I mean, it's pretty expensive. You're talking about system Z integration, right? Looking at some of the things. Well, it's not expensive. So here's the thing. If you don't need systems, if you don't need the integration, and I won't say it's expensive, but... It's a relative term. Yeah, but it's definitely more for the enterprise. I agree. Yeah, I mean, I'm doing, I'm a startup, I'm bootstrapped.  What we advocate for you is probably that you go and use Bluemix, right? Now, if you look at work-life, very high-end functions in terms of security, in terms of... Like for a retail customer, right? Someone who's in business, they already have a lot of back-end stuff. Right, right. This is a development platform for those guys. Right, and the operational platform for those guys. I agree. And if you start up, you probably want to start with a premium set of services, like those that you have in Bluemix. You want to start with a platform as a service.  You can actually now start to do push notifications with the cloud. You can store data in the cloud. You have native SDKs, mobile SDKs, that get you started really quickly. So if you're a startup, I would say that's where you should go. You guys look at Amazon, obviously. You look at Amazon. A lot of people go there because it's easy to get up and running. But as a business, that's one that wants to go to mobile. They're looking at a variety of solutions that say, oh, we can just turn your app into mobile. Is mobile a rewrite? I mean, how do you deal with the... Variety of vendors out there saying, oh, no, I got the mobile app platform for you. You can put a wrapper around it, put a skin on it, web response, bootstrap. I think that... I mean, it's not as easy as that. It's not as easy as that. It's not at all as easy as that. Now, the reality is that for most of our customer rewrite, it's not an option. We have customers that invested millions in the website. Right? And now what? So I invested $5 million in my website and it's gone. Not an option, right? So what we do with them is really work with what they have right now and see how we can fit that into the mobile world. Some of it is we have a way in WorkLite to load your website into WorkLite such that you can actually have a mobile application, but significant parts of the mobile UI are loaded from your website. So that's one option.  That's mishmash. Very rarely work. That's collugy. But sometimes if you want to get the absolute optimal results, rewrite. So give me an example of a large-scale customer where you guys have rolled this out that you had success with and or the hot market areas that you guys are doing well in. Like, is it certain verticals? Is it certain use cases? Oh, yes, yes. So let's start with, you know, a large customer. So Minister of Railroad in China. Okay, so think about it. China, railroad, hundreds of millions of users. Okay? So we have... That checks the scale box. That checks the scale box. Now we can talk about verticals where we do well. So obviously banking, financial services, how we like to call it. Many of them are really strong technology companies. Okay? I mean, we look at banks. We don't think about them as technology companies. Many of them are. And they go after the customers very aggressively. So we have a very large number of banking customers who do very well there. And insurance customers do really good there. And retail customers and so on. And you know what? You'd expect that. If you look at the type of, you know, applications that you look, that you use. It's retail, right? It's your banking. That's normally what you do. So we do very well on those. We have also other verticals. That's probably our sweet spot. Gal, I'm wearing a Fitbit on my wrist. And I'm sure it's the first of... Just one of the earliest of a flood of devices that we will see mobile devices will have to interact with. What kind of support are you providing for that in work life? More importantly, how do you anticipate products, architectures, yet not created yet that mobile apps will have to interact with? So that's a fascinating question. So this is your interested device. My device is on the glass. Okay, meaning Google Glass. So these are all fascinating. All the wearables are really fascinating. And it's really a market infancy. We start by testing the worker. Okay, we're not standing outside. We're stepping inside, creating small applications. Work with leading customers, trying to understand what are the requirements. Now, you look at Google Glass. Initially, many of us were thinking, well, Google Glass is for consumers, right? Wrong. Many customers are coming and saying, hey, we want to use it for our employees. We want to use it so that they'll be able to look at something, take a picture of it, know what's going on, and so on. So what we're doing really is, we work with a select number of customers, try to understand the requirements, try to understand what's important for them, try to do small POCs in the lab, and then expand from there. It's a fascinating market, right? We all expect it to be huge, and we're looking at it very closely. You keep saying, working with customers, and it sounds like there is a lot of manual labor involved here. At this point, you're trying to understand the market. You're working a lot one-on-one with customers to help them get through their applications. This must be an expensive market for you to serve. It's expensive exercise, but I don't know any other way. Okay, if you want to help customers, we need to talk to them. You need to find out what the problems are, and that's where IBM is really strong. Working with our customers, understanding the market, understanding where the issues are, that's how we do it, right? Now, I can come in and say, okay, Google Glass, create some SDK, and so on. Will it be really good for my customers? I have no clue, but I have customers that come in, they're leaders, and they tell me, hey, I have this use case. How am I going to do it? I'll take a few people and say, let's work on it together. Let's see how we solve it for you. And from those types of exercises, we can actually create a useful product for our customers. That's how we improve do work, by the way. Yes, what will you be doing with the companies that produce these devices, these wearables, and these sensors? Is part of your strategy to work closely with them so that the customers don't have to do the integration work? So the answer is yes. At the end of the day, yes. But even before that, it will need to be let's work with the customers and find out if this is really an issue. Okay, is this an issue for the customer to take the Google Glass SDK and embed it in the application? If it's not an issue, hey, it's easy for them. Let's help them or it's hard, right? Let's make the hard things easy for them. If something is easy, we need to do it as it is and we go to address the hard part. That's our philosophy, normally in IBM, any work life. Do you find that that currently most of the business that you're getting, most of the work life applications are being built for external use or more for internal use? Well, it's really not, it's not most, it's really 50-50. We have many customers that employ work life for what we call B2C, right? We have a strong consumer application or several strong consumer applications and they use work life to operate them and to develop them. We have a different set of customers and sometimes the same customers that have tens of internal applications and the number is growing and they use work life to serve the internal customer. So both and both have really interesting use cases. From the consumer use cases you get requirements such as I really need the best experience. I want to wow my customers. From the enterprises that serve their employees you get, hey, I have this security need that I need to solve. Hey, I need to connect to all those distant decades. How do you help me? So those types of things and I think that we excel at both. And you mentioned security. We know that with all these different mobile OSes coming out there, security vulnerabilities being introduced by all of them. Is that a problem that you're going to try to solve or is that the OS producer's problem?  So when you have a security issue let's look at how to live for a second. It's across the globe. Okay, it's not one place. And it's solved by a very large number of teams. And what we're trying to do is to provide layers of defense in IBM. It's not just to apply. It's not just the security access for mobile. It's not just a company such a trustee that finds out about malware and fraud. It's not just MAS 360 that manages the application. It's the collection of those. These are layers of defense. And no, it's not just about the device manufacturers because they did not write the applications. The people that wrote the applications will go and introduce bugs. So we will scan the applications try to find out the security holes. Right? We will go and secure the APIs on the backend so that they'll be protected. A long list of those things that needs to be created and the mobile OS vendors are not solving those and cannot really. They're outside of the reach. IBM is certainly not in the mobile app development business. You won't be selling your own apps outside of something like the conference app here. How should people think about IBM as a mobile partner? IBM actually does several things.   And then IBM gives you consultancy services. When I'm saying consultancy, it can be a very large set of consultation. It can be really sharp technical folks that get into your shop and help you out. Get you up and running with strategy. It can be business folks that help you out, try to see how mobile can help you. Or can be really developers that can help you out. And then you'll have a application for you. Now, we also have teams that develop apps, but it's not really the final application. They go, they show you the application to tell you, is that good for you? No. I need that to be fixed. I need that to be modified. They'll go modify the application for you. You have your app. So IBM really gives you software product, cloud product that you can use to have your application created for you. Now, we also have a product solution that brings in application, but that's not a very large part of what you do. So it's really a partner for creating the apps. Kyle, I want to get you the final word. I know we're coming up on this segment here, but I want you to tell the folks out there in your own words, why is at this point in time really important for IBM Impact and mobile, and around this enterprise-grade mobile environment. And we talked about earlier about not being that trivial. What's the big takeaway right now here at Impact for mobile? I think the big takeaway for mobile Impact is that A, mobile and cloud connect. B, in order to create the first great mobile experience, what you really need to do is not just create your mobile widget that runs on the glass. You really need to optimize your backend. You really need to be able to quickly modify your application and redeploy it. You need to be able to manage it and redeploy it to find out what your users are doing. That integration of DevOps capabilities, cloud services, analytics, and so on. Those are things that we can bring in in IBM and quite frankly nobody else can. Backend is really important. That's the big takeaway. Backend is 70% of the time and money that people are spending on the mobile application. Great. Thanks for coming in. Really appreciate it. Mobile's hot. There's a lot of nuances in mobile. I mean, Heartbleed highlights it. You know, you're seeing all the security challenges, enterprise-grade, backend support for agile application development. That's the future of DevOps and the enterprise. Thanks for sharing your commentary with us and your opinions. We appreciate it. This is theCUBE. We'll be right back with our next guest after this short break.


It is now time for a question period the leader of Her Majesty's Loyal Opposition. Thank you very much. I guess you had a good weekend too. Let them take my time, Speaker. My question for the Premier. We believe it's time to clear the decks, to get on with the big issues in the province, that's to create jobs, grow our economy, and get government spending within our means. We have a motion on bills that you and I talked about to clear them out of the way so we can focus on the big issues. If we do that, what bill are you bringing forward tomorrow to help create jobs in the province of Ontario? Thank you. Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. The leader of the opposition has seen that it is possible for us to find some common ground to actually move forward on some of the House leaders are going to be talking about it. And Mr. Speaker, I will suggest that some of the legislation, like the waste reduction legislation, is exactly the kind of economic job-creating legislation that we need to work on together, Mr. Speaker. Supplementary? No. I think our concern is you're going to actually kill jobs and reduce innovation in our economy with that legislation. But nonetheless, I mean, here's the point. You know, these bills are prepared to move through the legislature with alacrity because we need to focus on jobs and the economy. And Premier, you've made the case that your priorities for the legislative agenda are when teens can access tanning beds and rules around water, heat, or salesman. We support those bills. Let's get them through. But then you say, well, what is left of your legislative agenda? It's been nine months of endless conversations, endless consultations. That's actually a direct question. We clear this stuff aside. We open up the session. Give me one bill that you're bringing forward tomorrow to actually get spending within its means or to create jobs. Where is the agenda? Thank you. Premier? Mr. Speaker, I'm not sure, actually, whether it's today or tomorrow. But the piece of legislation we're going to be bringing forward as it happens is to increase the employer health tax exemption, Mr. Speaker. And in fact, that piece of legislation would – what it would mean is that the exemption would increase from – would be increased from 400,000 to 450,000 starting January 1st, 2014, Mr. Speaker. And this would have a positive impact. And in fact, Mr. Speaker, would allow more than 60,000 employers across Ontario to be – to have that break, Mr. Speaker, including 12,000 that would no longer pay the EHT. That provides space, allows them to hire more people, Mr. Speaker. That's a job creating piece of legislation. I hope we'll have that support. Final supplementary? Well, you know, it's interesting. After nine months, you went on a hand-holding exercise across the province, lots of consultations. But Premier, it's time to get on with the job and it's time for action and it's time to focus on the big issues. You've made the case throughout the summer that your top priorities were tanning bed legislation and legislation around water, heater, salesmen. We think that it's time to move those aside and focus on the big issues. We have a bill right now sitting in committee from across the board wage freeze. Make sure government spends within its means. We have a bill to get energy rates under control by stopping the wind turbines across the province of Ontario. We have a bill to get rid of the College of Trades so young people can actually get a good job in the trade. So if you're covered as bearer, well, you move forward with our agenda and actually put people back to work, businesses back creating jobs and our folks back in balance in this great province of Ontario. Thank you, Premier. Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. Now while I appreciate the leader of the opposition's newfound willingness to work with us on some pieces of legislation, what I need to say, Mr. Speaker, is that I don't think that protecting young people from getting cancer or protecting consumers, Mr. Speaker, I don't think those are trivial things. I think those are very important. At the same time, Mr. Speaker, we are taking action. There is a reverse trade mission happening right this morning, a global trade forum, Mr. Speaker, where people from around the globe are here looking at Ontario. We're making connections between those businesses, Mr. Speaker, and those relationships are going to create jobs. I understand that the opposition, Mr. Speaker, doesn't value relationship. I would suggest, Mr. Speaker, the fact that we've been able to have conversations over the last few months means that we're actually going to be able to move some legislation. I'm sure, Mr. Speaker, it's working. The shouting is going to stop, and I'll stop it as quickly as I possibly can if I have to do it. A new question. The members from Central Great Britain. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The question is also for the Premier. Premier, you've had nine months as Premier of this province. You presented my leader two weeks ago, Tim Hudak, with a list of six government bills you wanted to see through the House and three private members' bills from our side. We're agreeing with you today through a programming motion. I should add that 90% of those bills aren't of your making. They're left over from Dalton McGinty's government. They're housekeeping bills. They do nothing to help the over 500,000 women and men who woke up this morning without a job. So let's not have any more conversations because that could go on for days. Let's get your commitment now. Let's support our programming motion. Clear the decks and get on with talking about jobs. Mr. Speaker, and I've already said, I think it's a very good thing. The very reason that I presented that list of bills to the leader of the opposition, Mr. Speaker, was to say let's get on with these pieces of legislation because there is a lot more work to do. Things, Mr. Speaker, like getting the Waste Reduction Act passed. Things like getting the employer health tax exemption passed, Mr. Speaker. So my hope is that if we can act on these bills that I presented to the leader of the opposition, then maybe on some of these other things we can get some cooperation too because, Mr. Speaker, I agree with the leader of the opposition. We do need to create jobs. We are creating jobs. That's what the global trade forum is about this morning. That's what legislation that we're introducing into this house is about, Mr. Speaker. I look forward to their support. Premier, in spite of telling the media and the public that you've been trying to work with us and then blaming us for holding up a legislative agenda, nothing could be further from the truth. The only program in motion that you brought forward was in Bahoot with the NDP. We were cut out of that country. Order. I expect the same on all sides. Please finish. You've never had a conversation with us about speeding up the legislative agenda and getting on to talking about jobs and the economy. Never. So we took the initiative today to do it for you. So just say yes. Let's move forward. No more conversations. There's no tricks in the motion. It's been approved by the clerks. Just say yes. Be seated, please. Premier. Well, I look forward to the house leaders talking about the programming motion. I think it's a step in the right direction, Mr. Speaker. No matter member of the opposition says, Mr. Speaker, the fact is that we have found a way because I have had a number of conversations with the leader of the opposition because I presented the notion that somehow there might be a way of moving through some of these pieces of legislation where there was agreement. If they need to take credit for that, Mr. Speaker, so be it. The fact is we're going to move these pieces of legislation through, and I'm very pleased that the leader of the opposition has taken me up on my offer, Mr. Speaker. Premier. The only one showing leadership around here is Tim Houdak from the U.S. So if you can't make up your mind now, you've got two hours and a half, and we hope that we will get unanimous consent to introduce that motion. If we don't get unanimous consent, then we hope by the end of the day that your government house leader will introduce the programming motion, that we clear the decks, we get on with talking about jobs and the economy, and start working for the people of Ontario and the unemployed of Ontario. They deserve nothing less. Thank you. Thank you. Premier. Mr. Speaker, this is a very positive development. I know the house leaders are going to have this conversation. It's exactly what I think needs to happen is there needs to be a coming together on some of these things that are important, Mr. Speaker, make no mistake, and the members of the opposition can diminish these pieces of legislation, but protecting young people from cancer, protecting consumers, Mr. Speaker, against fraud, those are very, very important initiatives. And I hope that given this exchange that we will see, Mr. Speaker, that the opposition will work with us on things like the employer health tax exemption, Mr. Speaker, which is a direct job creator, and I look forward to their support, Mr. Speaker. Thank you. Thank you, Speaker. My question is to the Premier. Can the Premier tell us what her priorities are for the legislative session? Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. Well, I think the leader of the third party knows that we are right now in the throes of implementing many of the priorities that we put forward in the budget, Mr. Speaker. We identified priorities, and we worked with the leader of the third party and with the third party to make sure that we put those pieces in place. We had already identified investment in home care, Mr. Speaker. We had already invested investment and identified investment in infrastructure. That is the kind of strategy, Mr. Speaker. Investment in people, investment in infrastructure, investment in and support of businesses that will create jobs. That's what the Global Trade Forum is about this morning, Mr. Speaker. Connecting our businesses with businesses overseas, expanding our export capacity and creating jobs here in Ontario. That's our priority, Mr. Speaker, and that's what we're working on. Thank you. Supplementary. Speaker, families have made it clear to us that they want to see results that create jobs, that improve healthcare and make everyday life more affordable for them. We want to deliver those results for them, Speaker. Now this morning, the Conservatives put forward their priorities for the session, including a bill that will help one single company out of their obligations to their employees. Now it's clear that their priority is delivering results for Alice Dawn. Can the Premier tell us what her priority is? Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. I just want to say to the leader of the third party that I think that she knows full well that our priority on this side of the house is creating jobs and helping people in their day-to-day lives. We have been very clear about that, Mr. Speaker, since before we introduced the budget and we continue to focus on that strategy. Investment in people, investment in infrastructure, Mr. Speaker, and support and investment in the businesses that are going to create those jobs. The small, medium enterprises, particularly, Mr. Speaker, which is where the job creation is happening. On the piece of legislation that the leader of the third party is talking about, there is a situation that arose in the 1950s, Mr. Speaker. It is an anomalous situation and it's something that we believe needs to be addressed. Thank you. The people who make Ontario work every day sent us here to work hard for them, not for well-connected liberal and Tory lobbyists who are working overtime to get legislation passed that will help exactly one single company. They have a pretty simple question for their Premier. Is her priority delivering results for them or working with the Conservatives to deliver results for Alice Dawn? I think the leader of the third party knows full well that it is my responsibility and my intention and my objective to deliver results for the people of Ontario across this province, Mr. Speaker. And that means that we are working with Labour. We are working with business. It means that driving a wedge between Labour and business and somehow suggesting that to work with business in any capacity somehow does not work in the best interests of people in the province. That's just not the case, Mr. Speaker. Businesses create jobs. Jobs are what people in this province need, Mr. Speaker. So we're going to continue to work with business, with the Labour sector in partnership so that we can create the jobs to people around this province all over the province. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My next question is also for the Premier. People are looking for results that help them, not just well-connected insiders. Hector lives in Brampton. And like many drivers, he's tired of paying some of the highest auto insurance premiums in Canada. He's retired. He hasn't had a claim in 15 years. He hasn't bought a new car. But this year, he saw his insurance go from $1350 to $1,700. That's more than a 20% increase, Speaker. What does the Premier have to say to drivers like Hector who are seeing their premiums go up rather than down? Well, Mr. Speaker, I would say to Hector and I would say to people in constituencies around the province that over a year ago, Mr. Speaker, I identified auto insurance as an issue, something that needed to be addressed. I held a roundtable in my own riding. I had experts come and we talked about the issues of geography associated with auto insurance rates, Mr. Speaker. I talked about it during my leadership and, Mr. Speaker, it is included in our budget and we are tackling that change. We know that auto insurance rates need to come down and we need to take costs out of the system in order for that to happen. The Leader of the Third Party suggests that somehow that can happen overnight, that those changes can be immediate. That is just not the case, Mr. Speaker. We are working with the industry and the Leader of the Third Party knows that our target is a 15% reduction and we will make that happen. Thank you, Supplementary. Speaker Aftar also lives in Brampton. This year he watched as his premiums increased by nearly $400 up to $4,400 a year. Now that's an increase of 10%. Aftar doesn't have any new claims, Speaker, and he's driving the same car this year as he was driving last year. At the same time as the Premier is helping insurance companies maintain generous, guaranteed profits, she's leaving drivers like Aftar paying more. Is the Premier going to make sure that drivers like Aftar actually see some relief? Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. And we have made a commitment that we are targeting a 15% reduction, average reduction across the province, Mr. Speaker. And again, I think the Leader of the Third Party knows that it is not immediate. And as my colleague says here, there's no silver bullet on this. We have to remove costs from the system. We have to work with the industry because the Task Force recommendations on fraud reduction, Mr. Speaker, are fundamental to getting at why the costs are going up. So we're going to work with the industry, we're going to remove those costs, and we have targeted a 15% average reduction across the province. That is what we will deliver, Mr. Speaker. Final supplementary. Seems to me this government already removed $2 billion of costs annually in the last couple of years, Mr. Speaker. Here's what people see. When it comes to protecting the profits of insurance companies, the government is ready to work very, very hard. But when it comes to delivering results for well-connected insiders, the government is also ready to work hard. But when it comes to delivering results for everyday people, the government is dragging its feet. When is this premier going to make delivering results for people like Aftar and Aftar a priority for a change? Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. Well, the interests of the people about the leader of the third party is talking about are our priority, Mr. Speaker. As are the people, as they are for the people of the province. All of the people of the province who are burdened by some of these costs. I understand that. In fact, in 2012, auto insurance rates on average went down by about 0.03%, Mr. Speaker. And I know that's not a huge amount, but that is movement in the right direction. And remember we are talking about average decreases, Mr. Speaker. And that is our target, is to reduce on average auto insurance rates by 15%. Since 2003, Mr. Speaker, because there have been many changes made, the rates have moved at a slower pace than inflation. So the rates have not increased as quickly as they did prior to that. We will continue to work with the industry. It is absolutely our intention to reduce rates by 15% on average, Mr. Speaker. That's the target. That's what we will aim for. Thank you. Mr. Speaker, my question this morning is for the Premier. Good morning, Premier. You've been on the job now for nine months, yet Ontario's economy is only staggering along. You'd think that a new Premier would want to put forward some concrete suggestions to get the 600,000 men and women who woke up this morning without a job back to work. But so far, we've seen nothing. Nothing to create new jobs. Nothing to give confidence to investors. Nothing to put a lid on skyrocketing energy prices that send businesses fleeing from our province. Premier, a show about nothing may work as a TV sitcom, but it's a lousy way to run this province. Where's your jobs and economy plan? Thank you. Well, Mr. Speaker, I wish the member opposite had been at Ford in Oakville last week, Mr. Speaker, when we announced a $70.9 million investment, Mr. Speaker, that will protect 28 flexibility to be able to compete globally. That is the point of that investment. Ford is investing $700 million. We're putting in $70.9 million. The federal government is putting in the same, Mr. Speaker. So that kind of support is part of our strategy. And it's the investment in people. It's the investment in infrastructure. And it's a support for businesses like Ford that is going to create jobs. And it's going to allow Ontario to continue to recover better than most jurisdictions in North America, Mr. Speaker. Thank you. Canada's corporations are sitting on $500 billion in reserves. Much of that is here in Ontario where your high taxes, high energy rates, and strangling red tape are forcing these companies to sit on that money. They're not investing in Ontario because business likes certainty. They're not investing in Ontario because they continue to hear you say one thing, but always do the opposite. They know that our deficit is larger than every other province's combined. They see that you have no plan to rein in spending, no plan to create jobs, and no plan to change the course that's dragging Ontario down. Premier, isn't it clear that your tired team has run out of gas, and run out of time? Premier? Minister of Economic Development Trade and Employment. Minister of Economic Development Trade and Employment. Well, Mr. Speaker, I have to obviously disagree with the member opposite. He needs to do his research because the reality is on a per capita basis, Ontario is the number one destination in North America for foreign direct investment. And since the bottom of the recession in June of 2009 we've created almost 100,000 net new jobs. 90% of those jobs are full-time jobs, Mr. Speaker. Almost 80% of them are in the private sector. And even today, Mr. Speaker, we have a global export form where more than 600 Ontario businesses are together with 20 investors and 20 buyers from the Asia-Pacific region and they are working together to further Ontario's exports as well as investment between that region and an important growing region as this part, as well as this province. So Mr. Speaker, the fundamentals are completely the opposite. We are thriving. We're creating jobs. We had almost a record number of jobs created last month. I don't know where he's getting his... The member from Timmy's, James Bate. Yeah, my question is to the premier. Premier last August, you had said to the media that you thought it was right and that the members of the Justice Committee should be allowed to ask questions in regards to the motivation of why liberal staffer sent emails saying that they were going to try to interfere with the speaker. We're going to be moving in an anonymous consent motion a little bit later. Stop the clock, please. I do get a sense of where the member is trying to go. I would ask him to rephrase his question without including any references to an already dealt with issue. If you can find a way to say that, I'll allow it. If you continue, I'll not allow it. Mr. Speaker, to the premier, my question is why are you going to support an anonymous consent motion that does essentially what you said and what you promised would happen last summer when asked by the media in regards to asking questions about the motivation of those who wrote those emails? Premier. Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. Cognizant of some of the warnings that you've already given us in the past, I will simply review what happened. There was an exchange that took place at the committee. There was discussion amongst the house leaders and it was decided that the opposition would go forward with a point of privilege who have ruled on that point, Mr. Speaker, and what I have said to the house leaders, I think what the premier has said is we would consider any sort of suggestions that come forward as long as they align with that ruling and the one that was shared by the new Democratic Party, in my opinion, does not align with the ruling that you brought forward, which is why we are not accepting it. Thank you. Supplementary. Premier, first of all, your word is the most important thing that you have in the business that we're in. And when the premier of Ontario says I cannot understand why members of the Justice Committee can't ask these questions, it brings into question that word. What this motion does, it says, and I just quote, that in fact we don't want to deal with what happened with the speaker in regards to the decision. We want to talk to the motivation of what those people were all about. How do you prepare to support the unanimous consent motion that would allow us to have people come before the committee and deal with what their motivation was, not what the speaker has decided? Thank you. Again, Mr. Speaker, there was concern on all sides of the house of the ruling that was made by the chair of the Justice Committee, not from a procedural point of view, Mr. Speaker. I think the ruling was very much in order, but it's implications. We had to bring forward one was to work something out amongst house leaders around the scope of the committee or the other was to bring forward a point of privilege. The opposition house leader brought forward a point of privilege. Mr. Speaker, you gave a very clear ruling and as I said, Mr. Speaker, anything that comes forward has to be looked at in the context of your ruling and Mr. Speaker, I have looked at the motion brought forward and in my mind it does not align with the motion. Mr. Speaker, that you've asked us to leave it at that in our exchanges here in the legislature. Thank you. No question. My question is to the Minister of Economic Development, Trade and Employment. Speaker, we all know that Blackberry has been a strong pillar of the ICT sector in the Kitchener Waterloo region, a company that has also spawned growth in the Ottawa region, providing jobs to many constituents in my writing of the people across this province and in my writing asking questions about the next steps for the company, particularly with regards to how many job losses this would cause in the province. Speaker, could the Minister please provide the house for the update on the situation at Blackberry and inform us here on what our government is planning to do to help those workers affected by these job losses. Thank you. Minister of Economic Development and Employment. It's no doubt that this is an extremely challenging time, not just for Blackberry but particularly for the employees, the individuals that are employed at that Ontario company. We've already been working because of the changes that have been taking place of Blackberry over the past number of years. We've already been working with the region closely with the municipality, the regional leaders, of course the business leaders as well, great organizations as well like Communitech supported for a number of years to make sure that we're providing re-employment and training services to former Blackberry employees. We've been doing that for some time. In fact, the program that we have in place, we are extending further into next year so we can specifically deal with the challenges we're facing. But I have no doubt, Mr. Speaker, that the people of Waterloo, the people of that entire region are up to this challenge. Thank you. Thank you, Speaker, and thank you Minister for the update. This is absolutely right. It is never easy when losing a job. I would like to join the minister in sending my support to the families affected by these layoffs. Despite this challenge for Blackberry, I think we can all agree that the ICT sector in Ontario has seen significant growth in the last decade, something we can all be proud of. But with these job losses at Blackberry and significant profit losses for the company, what impact could this potentially have for Ontario and the ICT sector in particular? Mr. Speaker, despite the challenges that Blackberry is facing, we need to put it in context. We need to understand that Ontario is the third largest jurisdiction in North America for the ICT sector. There are more than 250,000 people in this province that are employed in the sector, including 30,000 in the Waterloo region alone. Mr. Speaker, there are great opportunities. There are almost 1,000 firms in the Waterloo region that involve the tech sector. No doubt Blackberry is an important pillar of that and it was an important part of building the ecosystem that exists in that region. But to give you an example, there are 1,000 tech jobs which are currently unfilled in the Waterloo region alone today. So Mr. Speaker, we're confident that a lot of the employees that will unfortunately be laid off from Blackberry will find opportunity within the region, within the sector. A sector that by the way contributes $30 billion to the province of Ontario. 5% of our GDP and as I mentioned, a quarter of a million has been involved. New question? Mr. Speaker, my question is to the Premier, but I don't mind if she directs it to the transportation expert from Winnipeg. I want to take this time to remind the member and all members that we always refer to each other as either from their writing or their title. Nothing else. The federal government has announced support for the subway plan supported by the City of Toronto. My question, Premier, is when will the Liberal government quit playing politics with this issue and support the subway supported by everybody else? Thank you very much Mr. Speaker. Well again, for the second time this morning I'm happy to say that our actions have produced results. The fact is we've been in the City of Toronto. But in Brampton and in Oshawa and in York Region Mr. Speaker. My question of last week, I told you that the concern of governments under four premiers built open 64 subway stops and at this point under two premiers, you being one of them, Ms. Wynn, your government has opened none. When are you going to open your first subway stop? Yeah. Cross-town would have had many stations open at the party opposite to a systematic approach to building transit infrastructure in this region of the country because we need infrastructure having a transportation and a transit strategy for every part of this country never mind. So I hope that this is the beginning of that kind of partnership Mr. Speaker. Thank you Mr. Speaker. My question is to the Minister of Education on Friday a freedom of information request revealed that the Vaughan home daycare where two-year-old Eva Vickovich died last July had meat contaminated with Listeria in its refrigerator. Were complaints about contaminated and potentially lethal meat among those that your ministry never followed up on? Minister of Education. Yes, thank you and my heart does go out to the family of the child in this incredibly difficult time. I think it's important for the legislature to recognize that the area in which my ministry is authorized to act is within the realm of the number of children who are at an unlicensed daycare and in fact since this incident we have brought we have applied for an injunction and have been granted a temporary injunction to prevent this particular provider from operating a daycare anywhere in Ontario. Because this is before the courts waiting for the hearing of the permanent injunction I cannot comment any further on the specifics. Thank you. The freedom of information report shows that when the ministry of education inspectors finally visited the daycare last November they were refused entry for 20 minutes. The ministry's manager for licensing speculates that the operator moved children next door while the inspectors were waiting. If the inspectors had gone in right away they may have found 27 children and they may have closed that daycare immediately perhaps saving that child's life. How many children's life has this government put at risk because of its toothless inspection of home-based daycares? Yes and I repeat my ministry has applied for an injunction in this particular case but I think what's in terms of the ongoing public policy we have stated publicly that one of the problems with the existing day nurseries act is in fact that my ministry has very little authority with respect to unlicensed daycare and that in fact the need to go to court is problematic and that we have committed to making amendments to the legislation to find a more effective process to intervene in the future. Thank you. New question and a member from auto ourselves. Thank you Mr. Speaker. My question is for the Minister of Community and Social Services. As a new member here in the legislature I've quickly learned our role here and I know that the role we all play back home in our communities is vital to our work here. It's the most to connect with my constituents and learn of their successes and their challenges and how the work we do is making a positive change in their lives. As members we get an opportunity to hear about what we can do better and how we can improve the quality of services provided by our government. I know from the news that I saw over the summer that the Minister of Community and Social Services was also connecting with people right across Ontario including in my hometown of Ottawa. Speaker can the minister tell us about some of the communities he visited and what he has heard that can truly improve the policy formed by our government. Thank you. Minister of Community and Social Services. Mr. Speaker I want to thank the member from Ottawa South he has in fact over the last 14 years been connecting with constituents and I suspect that's why they sent him here. Speaker I did have a busy summer I met with some 173 groups over a six week period. Individuals businesses, community groups advocates, clients parents, agencies workers, union leaders municipal leaders and even a couple of first nation communities. And I did that because I wanted to learn directly a little bit more about how the services we provide impact people and how we can improve them. And I'll never forget Mr. Speaker the experience of visiting some of the people across the province with the developmental disability who live with dignity and respect in their communities with the help of supports provided by Ontario. Thank you. Supplementary. Mr. Speaker as the minister's example demonstrates it's important to listen and witness the everyday lives of Ontarians. Some of the stories are not only truly remarkable but inspiring. I'm glad to know that our government is making the right investments in people and improving their lives every day. As mentioned earlier the minister visited my hometown of Ottawa and I appreciate him taking the time to meet with the people of our city and learn some of the innovative ideas that might be leading and how they can be used across Ontario. Speaker can the minister tell us of his visit to Ottawa and what he was able to see that could be used across the province. Thank you. I'd be delighted but I'd be remiss if I didn't confess straight up that Ottawa is one of my favorite cities. Thank you. While I was there I had a chance to visit a number of places. I got to drop into the Causeway Work Center an entrepreneurial social enterprise venture that's doing some really good work and the Ottawa DSO drop-in center with its focus on skills development. I also visited one of the municipal service delivery centers. Probably, Ottawa's got probably one of the most sophisticated social delivery systems in the province. It's something I think we can learn from and I intend to visit back to see just what additional earnings we can gain from them. There are a lot of things that our government can do to make things better. I was impressed with what Ottawa had to offer and we're glad we visit that city to learn some more. Thank you. A member from Newmark and Aurora. To the Minister of Health Speaker, here's what the president of the largest provider of fixed wing air ambulance services to Orange told the public accounts hearing last Wednesday. And I quote, questionable and unethical business practices still exist at Orange. And I quote, allegations of inherent conflicts of interest coercion by Orange senior executives of proponents during the bidding process little if any operational oversight by Orange of its private sector aviation suppliers and speaker, no requirements whatsoever for proponents to prove that they have the financial capacity to deliver on their contractual obligations. I ask the Minister of Health are any of these revelations about what is going on at Orange today under its new executive of concern to you or will you simply accept them as Minister of Health and long-term care? Thank you speaker and I can assure the member opposite that Orange is taking these allegations very, very seriously. They are investigating them. I think it's important to understand speaker that Orange is into a new chapter and we are seeing the evidence of that speaker in that their commitment to put patients for a speaker to enhance transparency and accountability they value these principal speaker and they are acting on them. Speaker, I think it's important to acknowledge that our frontline staff at Orange put their lives at risk every single day making sure that people get the care they need when they need when patients need to be transported speaker the people at Orange are there. So as I say Orange is taking these allegations very seriously and is looking into it. Thank you. Speaker that's precisely why we're concerned about this because we support those frontline people at Orange the paramedics and the pilots and the people who are doing the frontline work. What we're concerned about are the allegations in the executive suites of this organization that suggests that there's conflict of interest that's rampant. We're told by Mr. Rick Horvath, the president of Air Bravo that the president and CEO is fully aware we were told that the chief operating officer has actually allowed his confidential emails to be distributed to his competitors. Speaker this is the executive suite of the executive suite that the minister assured us was being cleaned up we want to know will she order an independent investigation of what is going on in the executive suites at Orange will she confirm that for us today. Thank you. Minister of Health. As everyone in this house knows there is new leadership in place at Orange. They have impeccable credentials and they are working very hard to ensure that patients who need Orange get the care they need. Speaker I'm not the only one who thinks that Dr. McCallum is in fact an excellent leader I have a quote here I think that Mr. McCallum or Dr. McCallum brings a brand new perspective to openness and transparency precisely for that quote is from Frank Cleese on March 2019 2013. So I know the member opposite has a great deal of respect for Dr. McCallum let's let him do his work. Thank you. Leader of the third party. Thank you speaker my questions to the Minister of Energy. This government has got its wires crossed when it comes to the power needs of the Northwest. Last week the Minister of Energy sent some very mixed signals to say he said and I quote any future generating plant in Thunder Bay will be used 6 hours per year. Is this government looking for fresh excuses not to honor its commitment to convert the Thunder Bay generating station to gas or is the minister ready to admit that he got his facts wrong. Minister of Energy. Mr. Speaker I'm happy to speak to this issue again. First of all I want to say that already there is a conversion underway and the Atacocan plant will be available next year for 200 megawatts. Mr. Speaker there is significant we're already in procurement for the East West High Line Mr. Speaker to bring another 400 or 500 megawatts into the Thunder Bay in Northwestern Ontario area. Investments are being made but the good news Mr. Speaker is that more investments are going to be made and the draft plan for Northwestern Ontario energy is circulated everybody in the north the task force has it Thunder Bay has it and we're waiting for some response from that we expect to get that response soon we shared that with them at AMO conference around August 20th last month Mr. Speaker we're waiting for the response we are committed to having energy in Thunder Bay in Northwestern Ontario and the amount that they need Mr. Speaker while people in Thunder Bay have been waiting a long time to hear some straight answers from this government instead they have a minister who claims the plant is only working 6 hours a year when in fact it's 70 times as much they have a minister who wrote me to say that the plant is running at 4% capacity when it's much much more and they have a minister who wrote answers in quote 3 or 4 weeks and then promptly took it back and at the same time told Thunder Bay citizens to get ready for a long long wait now is the minister's confusion a case of the left hand not knowing what the right hand is doing Speaker or is it simply a sneaky way of pulling the plug on the Thunder Bay generating station gas conversion Mr. Speaker I don't think it would be an exaggeration to say that the leader of the third party is playing politics with this issue Mr. Speaker I couldn't wouldn't dare say that Mr. Speaker the task force that has produced the draft report has a massive investment strategy for Northwest Ontario we're already creating new generation in Thunder Bay we have not made a final decision on Thunder Bay at this particular point and I would remind the leader of the third party that we have not had all the results back in from Thunder Bay and the task force in terms of the response to the Northwest draft plan it is an extensive promise of investment we're doing it, we're going to continue to do it and Thunder Bay has nothing to fear about the reliability of their electricity Mr. Speaker New question the member from Langary Prescott Russell my question is to the minister of training colleges and universities he's very hardworking there are many youth in my riding of Langary Prescott Russell with skills and knowledge wanting to contribute to Ontario's workforce yet with the youth unemployment rate at 9% higher than Ontario's overall average unfortunately many of these talented young individuals struggle to find good opportunities for employment this is very challenging not only to the youth but also to their parents and to their families involved and I'm also concerned that there needs to be supports in place to help the youth in these situations Speaker through you to the minister what is this government doing to ensure that our young people have access to good jobs and opportunities to gain workplace experience Good question Very good question Thank you Mr. Speaker Not only do I agree with the member on the importance of this question I have to admit he's got a very good selection in ties I think we're completely matching today which means we're one of the same when it comes to this issue Mr. Speaker ensuring our young people have opportunities in our economy is a top priority for our government that's why we created the youth employment fund to offer young people an opportunity to gain some real work experience learn work skills learning and income I'm very pleased Mr. Speaker to share with Ontario youth that applications this exciting program are now available across the province youth employment fund will help to provide access to much needed workplace experience for 25,000 young people across Ontario through this fund we're also making a special effort to help youth facing barriers including Aboriginal and Northern youth youth with disabilities newcomers and visible minorities and youth leaving care or on social assistance Mr. Speaker 25,000 young people going to get an opportunity Thank you Mr. Speaker and thank you Minister it's good to hear that the youth employment fund will be helpful to thousands of youth across the province and I'm reassured that we're making a special effort to assist youth to face different barriers when trying to find good jobs and workplace experience especially in small towns and rural communities like I have in my right in Blengary Prescott and Russell I've heard that the proposed federal changes to training funding may impact some of these programs that target youth that face greater barriers as our government steps up our efforts to help these youth find work it would be unfortunate if the federal government is taking measures that could harm those efforts Speaker can the Minister of Training Colleges and Universities please advise if these federal funding changes will hurt those youth who need these programs the most Thank you Minister Thank you Mr. Speaker I wish I could say otherwise but the fact is the member does have reason to be concerned actually all of us have reason to be concerned the federal government plans to cut 60% of the funding that goes to the labor market agreement which funds programs that among other things target youth with greater needs this is how they intend to fund their Canada Jobs grant program on top of that they're demanding that the provinces match that amount $132 million hit to programs that target Aboriginal and rural youth literacy and basic skills programs that target at risk youth among others we believe this is a counterproductive approach and we urge the federal government to rethink this course of action I also encourage all members service providers across the province and all Ontarians to contact their local MPs and join me in this government in urging the federal government to work with the provinces to find a better way to fund their new program Thank you Mr. Speaker Thank you very much Mr. Speaker my question today is for the Minister of Energy the Honourable General's report the Fraser report and now last week CD Howe report all have one thing in common and they all have denounced your government's green energy plan minister in fact CD Howe Institute said the Ontario power sector today has an oversupply rising prices to final consumers as well as volatile and contradictory policies Ontario's approach to power sector investment and planning is inefficient expensive and unsustainable Minister when will your government finally wake up look at the facts and accept that the green energy plan is nothing more than a pretty name on an ugly and expensive piece of legislation Thank you Minister of Energy Mr. Speaker what we're talking about essentially here is renewable energy and Mr. Speaker there are other people who want to speak about renewable energy as well for example the Minister of External Affairs for Canada John Baird he was down in Washington Mr. Speaker and because he was sensitive about President Obama's impression of the federal government in terms of carbon footprint very very quick to point out that Canada has the best record in North America of eliminating very cold burden generation Mr. Speaker and Minister Oliver Mr. Speaker has said the same thing well strange that when Mr. Baird was Minister of Energy in that government the PC government he was building more cold generation than anybody else in North America we're proud of our record we're making a healthier economy we're making a healthier population and it's a right choice I have to tell you and the Minister my father lived permanently on oxygen for 12 years and this nonsense and this ongoing spin has to stop there are real issues at hand and those issues are perpetuated by the ever increasing prices of your hydro rates that are revealed that provisions of the Green Energy Act and a whopping 66 ministerial directives have overridden your long-term energy plan and that means rising prices for consumers and more instability for business and investors and our rate payers as I said this project your project also is reported to say or generate over $370 million for rate payers so that they have to pay for your expensive green energy failed scheme Minister, the CD Howell report urges you to hit the pause button now will you face the music and commit today that doing the right thing is ending this scheme once and for all Minister Mr. Speaker there's only 4% or less of green energy in the grid at the present time the pressure on prices is because for 10 years the progressive conservative government made no investment in the energy sector they had declining they had declining transmission this government had to build an energy system almost from scratch we've created 13,000 megawatts we've improved over 7500 kilometers you asked the question Mr. Speaker that is rate base that goes on the rate base it pushed the rates up thanks to them we have taken some steps to mitigate the clean energy benefit has is reducing 10% of the electricity bills for families small businesses they should take the blame for rising prices because we had to build a system from scratch thank you Mr. Speaker my question is to the premier good morning premier when the government shut down the slots at Windsor raceway which led to the collapse of the local harness racing industry in Windsor and Essex county and the loss of 2,000 jobs in my community the justification premier was that those who gambled at the track would gravitate to Caesars and do their gaming at Caesars and downtown Windsor by now premier must have had time to crunch the numbers did the experiment work how much additional revenue has been realized at Caesars since the slots at the track were shut down and so many people 2,000 people were left without good paying jobs in my community thank you thank you very much Mr. Speaker and I know the member opposite is asking a question in the context of the issues around the horse racing industry Mr. Speaker and the changes that were made I am very pleased Mr. Speaker for example that the Lakeshore group has been given 4 race states Mr. Speaker and I know that he is he will be happy about that because it's very close to his community Mr. Speaker $180 million we put into the system Mr. Speaker to guarantee a transition I am awaiting the report from the panel Mr. Speaker with a 5 year strategy we want the horse racing industry to be sustainable Mr. Speaker it was not transparent it was not clear how the funding was working Mr. Speaker and we had many opportunities for input on that we made a decision the Drummond report put forward a suggestion we made that decision but Mr. Speaker we have made it clear that we want to have a sustainable horse racing industry in Ontario and we are well on track to do that thank you nice try Premier thank you for those 4 extra dates in Leamington by the way the member from Essex and myself for their yesterday to show support no one from your government or the official opposition were but we were now prior to their self-fated decision to close the slots at Windsor Raceway the government was bringing in an estimated $8 million in clear profit $8 million Premier is nothing to sneeze at now there is no shame in admitting you made a mistake Premier no shame whatsoever we reopen the slots at Windsor Raceway breathe new life back into the provincial harness racing industry get those 2,000 people back to work and demonstrate to the people in this province Premier when you say it you mean it when you stand up as you did so repeatedly this morning and said that jobs are a priority to your government thank you racing industry to be sustainable I'm really glad that the member opposite was at Lakeshore it's his community I'm glad that he was there Mr. Speaker I'm also glad that it's our it's our commitment to the horse racing industry that's allowing this transition to happen Mr. Speaker cupping your hand as a microphone and yelling is not really what I like to see here trust me you don't even need your hands I can hear you anyway finish please first to admit Mr. Speaker that my predecessor stepped back from that initial decision and said we have to put in place a sustainable industry that just removing the money that was in the system Mr. Speaker even though the system wasn't transparent it was very fractious there needed to be a change we've acknowledged we need a 5 year strategy that integrates and that's what we're doing Mr. Speaker the member for me Jack Spickery thank you Mr. Speaker my question is for the Minister of Energy Speaker we have been hearing news lately regarding nuclear safety particularly with respect to the ongoing situation in Japan of course this stems from March of 2011 when a magnitude 9.0 earthquake off the coast of Japan generated a 15 meter tsunami towards the Fukushima Beichi nuclear power plant this to Sammy caused a nuclear meltdown and the subsequent release of radioactive materials and the issue has recently resurfaced in the news with fresh leaks and concerns over the radioactivity of the region's fish, livestock and agricultural reeds through you to the Minister please explain the protections of the government has been installed to prevent such future occasions Minister of Energy Mr. Speaker I thank the member for the question and he certainly is right to show some concern in the sense that he represents those communities the health and safety of Ontarians is certainly our top priority in the wake of the Fukushima accident the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission established a task force to evaluate the implications of the nuclear event in Japan the report concluded that Canadian nuclear power plants are safe and robust and have a strong design relying on multiple layers of defense they also confirmed that the design of nuclear reactors safeguards against any incidents arising from external events such as earthquakes Ontario strives for continuous improvement from lessons learned from that report and Ontario power generation and Bruce power have taken numerous measures to enhance the safety of our nuclear facilities thank you Mr. Speaker thank you it's reassuring to know that Ontario has been taking very adequate steps this insurement of the safety of our nuclear reactors from events like the natural disasters while Ontario was not particularly prone to earthquakes I feel it is important that the government prepare for all possible eventualities when dealing with critical infrastructure like nuclear plants I also know from reading various news reports that another danger concerning nuclear reactors is related to their security while the threat to security is very low it nevertheless raises the question whether we are prepared for such an event or not Mr. Speaker can the minister tell me if we have precautions in place for such an event thank you thank you Mr. Speaker again I compliment the member for his responsibility on this particular issue nuclear safety and security are top priorities for the government and Ontario's nuclear operators Mr. Speaker you'll be pleased to learn that the Bruce power site received the highest possible security grade from the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission and Ontario power generation is aggressively pursuing a $350 million security enhancement project 95% of the enhancement program is completed and the remaining 5% is on track for completion by the end of this year OPG and Bruce power continue to ensure that enhanced security arrangements and contingency plans are in place at their nuclear facilities Mr. Speaker ongoing review of these facilities will continue even after the current security enhancement project has been completed I can tell you that if you speak to the management senior management of both of these facilities Mr. Speaker New question the member from Leeds Gremble Mr. Speaker my question is back to the Premier we started question period today with two lead questions one from my leader Tim Hudak and the other from my house leader Jim Wilson it's very clear Premier there's a half a million Ontarians that are out of work right now they need us to clear the decks and put forward some legislation that's going to create jobs my house leader today is going to table a unanimous consent motion this afternoon my question is very simple Premier are you going to support it yes or no Mr. Speaker we appreciate at this side of the house the new enthusiasm on the part of the progressive conservative party the fact of the matter Mr. Speaker is we found ourselves we found ourselves in this position Mr. Speaker because for the last year or so it's been the progressive conservative party who's been dragging their feet on every single bill that's brought forward Mr. Speaker Bill 14 non-profit housing co-ops while I might not necessarily be able to identify the individual who's using non-parliamentary language I am disappointed to hear it and I would recommend very strongly without me absolutely knowing for sure of who to withdraw might want to stand up and withdraw on their own thank you Mr. Speaker let me give some examples Bill 14 non-profit housing co-ops 15 hours and 50 minutes opposition filibuster Bill 36 local food act Mr. Speaker 20 hours 35 minutes Bill 55 longer protection for Ontario consumers 18 hours 39 minutes Mr. Speaker it's been this party that's been filibustering for the last year we welcome you thank you at any time any time the Speaker has a prerogative to remove somebody it doesn't mean just at the end of question period it could be at the end of question period it could be at the end of the day so I would ask the two members that seem to want to still yell cool it you have 10 seconds Mr. Speaker we welcome their enthusiasm but the fact of the matter is Mr. Speaker we will have discussion amongst House leaders and I wish they had some of this inpatience that was your 10 the member from Timmins James Bay on a point of order Mr. Speaker I seek you and Adams consent to expand the scope of the Standing Committee on Justice to allow for questions related to the motivation and intent of the Liberal Party staff and former staff of the Office of the Premier regards to the meetings with the Speaker and the Speakers of the Promethatia case of privilege and that this expanded scope shall not include the Speaker's confidential discussions I do have to do things properly so let me at least get the one part done the member from Timmins James Bay has asked for unanimous consent to put forward a resolution a motion sorry all of our do I hear unanimous consent it is there are no deferred votes this House therefore stands recessed until 1pm this afternoon


Hi, so I bought some new handbags lately, so I thought I would do a detailed video on all three of my newest babies. If you missed it, I went shopping at Sawgrass Mills Mall for my birthday, and it's like a ginormous outlet center, and I'm an outlet girl when it comes to bags, okay? I love me a good zeal. And I pretty much went crazy with feeding my purse addiction, which I have recently discovered. A number of you also share that with me, so. If you're new here, I'm actually a makeup channel, so I do throw in the occasional handbag video because I love those too.  Now, if you saw my birthday vlog that I posted last week, first of all, thank you for telling me happy birthday to those of you that did. I really appreciate it. I couldn't get back to every one of you, but I just want to say thank you so much. It was a fabulous birthday as you saw in the vlog, but you did see the purses that I picked up. So if you missed that vlog, you'll see them here. I just wanted to do something that was a little bit more in depth than what I quickly showed you on the vlog. Let's start off with the Tori Birch bag that I got. So like I said, I got this from the Tori Birch outlet, and Tori Birch is the only brand that I have in today's video that you can't buy the outlet bags online, which is why I was so excited to go to Tori Birch outlet because I didn't get into Tori Birch for a while because I wanted a discounted Tori Birch purse. Now I know the outlet bags aren't as well made as the retail bags. I'm pretty gentle on my bags, so that's not as big of a deal to me. And I did recently spend like 500 on a new bag from the retail. So I wanted to grow my Tori Birch collection since I love that one so much. So I had a great time at the outlet. Make sure you check out the vlog if you want to see more of what they had. This is the bag that I ended up picking up for myself. I'm trying to think, what is the name of this? It says this is the Willa Mini Vanity bag. So it says the original price is $398, and it was 50% off. So in total it was $199, which I think is really good for a Tori bag. I don't own a vanity style bag, so I was really excited to see this, that it would be a great addition to my collection. They also had, I believe, in a blue shade, which I was tempted by. I just know I would wear the neutral shade more. So here is what the quilting looks like. You have the Tori Birch emblem here, and then here is the cute little handle. You can see it's really wide, since this isn't online, I cannot give you the exact dimensions. But then we also have these clips here for the crossbody, so you can pull the clips off. And then you have a leather strap at the top of the chain. This is not adjustable. I will say I am 4'11", and this is actually a pretty good length for me. So just keep that in mind, and then you have the leather zipper. Then you open it up, and then it has the fabric lining. It says Tori Birch here, and then you have two card slots. And it looks really, really tiny, but because of how wide it is, you're able to fit quite a lot. So I have the largest sized iPhone, and it takes up almost no room in here. It fits width-wise perfectly, but you have so much more room for AirPods, a small wallet, cards. This surprisingly holds a lot more than a lot of my other mini purses. If you don't know, my style is top handles and mini bags. I love them. I'm a small person. That's what I've been into. I've already worn this twice. I love it. Now I want more vanity bags. I think that this is so cute. So I'm going to take you to the try-on portion so you can kind of see what it looks like on me. So here is how the purse would look with me just holding it by the top handle. Remember, I am under five feet. So if you're tall, this would look a lot smaller than it does on me. And then here's the length of the crossbody on me. As you can see, for me, I do really, really like the length that this is at, considering it can't be adjusted. But keep that in mind if you do need a longer strap. I think this is really cute, though, if it's kept up high. So if you are taller, it's a look. But anyways, I've been loving this back. The one thing I will say when I wear it, I feel like it goes like this. I just, it doesn't lay flat against my body, but it's so cute. I don't even care. I like my socks. This is like my home work outfit, but it still feels like PJs. So I don't want to talk too much more about this since you can't order it online. But if you do have a Tory Burch outlet near you, definitely check this bag out. I think it is so cute and I do recommend it if you are interested. Next up, let's get into my favorite handbag brand, which is Kate Spade. And I talked about this in a recent video, but I don't know all of the people that I watch on Purse YouTube do not like Kate Spade. I love Kate Spade. It's literally my favorite, favorite handbag brand. And you know what, Kate Spade outlet, obsessed with Kate Spade outlet.  I love getting a good deal on a Kate Spade handbag. I knew I wanted one for my birthday and cool out the receipt. So let's start off with the card holder that I picked up, because I wanted a new small wallet for my cards since I've been picking up a lot of really tiny purses lately. So I wanted something that would be nice and slim in my handbags. Ignore my nails. I have an appointment tomorrow. So I love that you have the actual Kate Spade here. And it's actually like metal on here. It's not just imprinted onto the leather. And there are three card slots on one side. And then you can actually split it. And there's a bigger card slot. And there's three card slots on the other side as well. I really love the duo tone on this. I think it is so cute. And I got neutral colors so that it would go with multiple bags. So I got this. It's called the Stacy color block in saffiano leather. And it was only $25, which I thought was a superb deal. So I'm excited to have this little card holder. Yeah. And right now you can even get this online for $25. I think that is such a good deal. Looking at the details online, there's the pin mount logo. It's saffiano leather. The height is three inches. The width is 3.9. Six credit card slots overall. And it's just so, so cute. So love this. Really excited about this. And then I did get a handbag. Of course, I haven't worn this one yet. But this is one that my husband almost bought for me to surprise me with. And then I was like, well, since we're going to the outlets, let me just see it in person first. But I did end up picking it up. So this is the Stacy square crossbody. I got it in pink. I didn't see the pink online. I only saw it in stores, but online they do have a white color and a black color, which are also great. When it comes to case fade, I am not afraid of color just because that is kind of the style of the brand. And I love, love, love the pink. So online right now this is $109. I actually got it for a little bit. She brought the outlets. It was 60% off plus an additional 20. So I got it for $95, which is $15 cheaper than what's online. So you'll see it's a petite bag with a top handle. That's my style. Dimensions of this are 5.92 inches in height, 6.48 in width, and then 2.16 inches in depth. The handle drop is 3.25 inches and the strap drop, which is all leather, is 22 inches and it's Sofiano leather. You also have the metal pin mount logo. And then at the back, you'll see there's a slit right here. You really can't get much stretch in there, but you see it has the Kate Spade lining. The crossbody straps are removable, which is something I find important. I love being able to take the cross strap off and change it up with different straps or just hold it by the top handle. I love that versatility that I'm seeing in a lot of bags nowadays. This would be super cute with a pearl chain. Also something that I like to look out for, the strap is adjustable. You still are a little bit limited, but I was able to get it to a pretty good crossbody strap length for my body. So it is the Sofiano leather. I really like it. I think it looks super structured, but still very cute. And then it is a button closure. And you'll see we have another slit here. And then we're lined with the typical Kate Spade fabric. And there also is an additional three card slots on the inside of the bag. In terms of what it can fit, again, I'm going to show you my largest iPhone fits this way. And you still have some room. If you have your wallet, you can fit it in there, AirPods and a couple other little things. It's not the most space. It's not a bag that has the most depth here. But I don't really carry too much around with me since I live in a city. I just run out all of the time and I just pick whatever bag works for me. I don't really carry too much. I don't have any kids or anything.  All right, so let me show you what she looks like on me. I love how structured yet petite this is. The strap has been adjusted to the smallest setting. So I think it hits me at a really flattering spot. Now the top handle is a bit long. So it doesn't bother me, but I wish this could be taken off. I don't know. But anyway, this is what it looks like in crossbody. And then of course you can take the crossbody off. And this is still a good size just to hold top handle wise. I think it is so cute. It's like super feminine, but still very, very simple. I have not yet worn that Kate spade bag yet, but I am so excited to. I will link it down in the description box for you. And that brings us to the final bag on my vlog. This is the one that most of you were like, yes, that bag is adorable. This was definitely the crowd favorite, which I'm surprised by because I thought it was like kind of a certain style. But I actually do not own a lot of coach. I have a couple bags. So I wanted to grow my coach collection. Since it's from the outlets, it's not cute and wrapped up and all of that, which is fine. So this is the bag. The name of it is the Clio top handle in signature Chambre. And this online is the exact same price that I got at the outlet. So this is 60% off. So I got it for $160. This is on clearance. So if you do want to pick it up, you should pick it up like before it's gone. Since it is on clearance, that means it's not coming back. And even online, it says pick it up before it's gone. So there is a sense of urgency if you are interested in this one. So that's not really my style. I wanted something different, but it still is quite versatile in what you can wear with it because it's Chambre. It matches more than you think that it would. Yeah. So I wanted to pick up something that I didn't have anything like in my collection that wasn't my style and would be a little out of my comfort zone and ended up being one of my favorite items that I picked up. So here's a closer look at the fabric. I don't know that I love these two leather tassels right here.  But then at the same time, I almost just want to keep it how it came. You guys know how I feel about a top handle. And then we also have removable crossbody strap, which you know is important to me as well as it is adjustable. I've already adjusted it to be as small as it can be. And the thing that I wasn't too sure about is the belt buckle just because I don't know. It's just not my style. I think it makes it look a little bit like western, which I don't know that I like. But on this I do. And then at the bottom, there is feet on this, which is really nice because that will protect the leather that we have here on the bottom. The material on here is signature Chambre and smooth leather. The top handle has a one inch and three quarter drop. And then the strap, which is detachable, has a 22 and a quarter inch drop. I wish there was a shoulder option for this strap. I think this would be cute as a shoulder bag, not just a crossbody bag. So let's see, length is nine and a quarter inches. Height is five inches. And then width is three and a quarter inches. So when you open it, it is a button you see we're lined with suede here. And then it even is lined and suede all the way on the inside as well. There is a zip pocket, which I really like in the center. It does kind of limit how much you can fit in here because of the separation, but this also will help keep you organized. So it just depends on the type of person that you are. And then we also have a pocket in here as well. Is there any card holders? No, you have like the coach tag on the inside. Really cute. Let me show you how everything fits. It is a smaller bag, especially with the separator in the center. You can really only bring a few things. My iPhone fits perfectly here. And then you can also fit small wallet. I mean, there is room in here.  It's not a micro bag, but you might need to leave out a few things if you're the type of person that carries a lot. I've worn this once even though I still haven't taken this off on the inside. It ended up being more wearable than I thought it would. But my vision for this is I have a white shirt dress from Abercrombie. And this is just going to look so cute against an all white outfit. So I'm excited about that. Did I show you it has a slit here in the back? I didn't. Here you go. All right. So let me show you what it looks like on. And everybody's favorite, the coach bag. Isn't this so cute?  I think it's super cute with this. I love it. I think this would be so cute if you have a shoulder strap that matches the leather on this handle. This would be so cute as a shoulder bag. Okay. Let me struggle to put this on crossbody. And then here's what it looks like on the shortest setting in crossbody. Again, it's really, really cute. I actually love holding this bag top handle. I think it makes everything look that much more dressed up. This is how it hits me. Okay. I can see why this is everybody's favorite. Unexpected. It's so cute. All right, guys. That is all I have for today's video. Those are my three newest babies to my collection. Now that I've done my birthday shopping spray, which I knew was going to happen, I think my next purse video is going to be my handbag collection. So keep your eyes out for that. If you're enjoying the handbag videos, let me know if you're not enjoying them. It's fine. I post a lot of other makeup videos every other day. So don't worry. I'm not becoming a purse channel. And all of the bags that I talked about today will be linked down below. And thank you guys so much for watching this video and hanging out with me and indulging me in my addiction. And I will catch you guys in the next one. Bye, guys. Have a good one.
