Now time for a question period. The member from Leeds, Gregor. Thank you very much Mr. Speaker. My question is to the Premier. Speaker you mentioned this morning that the Chief Electoral Officer has tabled a report to this legislature. Quite frankly it's a bombshell. I wrote the Chief Electoral Officer in December 15th regarding perceived contraventions of section 96.1 of the elections act. In the report from the Chief Electoral Officer and I quote, No Chief Electoral Officer on material has ever concluded a regulatory investigation into allegations of bribery or ever reported an apparent contravention at the home statutes of my office at Attorney General. Further in the report it says having reviewed the evidence and findings of this regulatory investigation, I'm of the opinion that the actions of Jerry Lahi Jr. and Patricia Sorbera amount to an apparent contravention of section 96.1e of the elections act. And as reflected in my attached report, consequently I've reported the matter to the Attorney General. Premier, when are you going to do the right thing? Announce today the resignation of Pat Sorbera and Jerry Lahi. Thank you. Thank you very much Mr. Speaker and as the member opposite is well aware this is information that has just been received and from the outset we've been clear with elections Ontario that they have our full cooperation. We're glad the elections Ontario took this issue seriously and they've determined that the opposition's allegations against me and the member from Sudbury were baseless Mr. Speaker. Patricia Sorbera will continue to offer her full cooperation as elections Ontario's examination moves to the next phase in the process. I understand that the complaint has been referred to the ministry of the Attorney General and for further examination by the proper authorities Mr. Speaker. As the member opposite knows, election Ontario's examination is entirely independent of the government and neither the Attorney General nor her political staff have any involvement in that process Mr. Speaker. Thank you. Premier, this report was tabled in the legislative assembly of Ontario. All 107 members have a duty to uphold openness and transparency in government.  Premier, the report speaks for itself. There's alleged contraventions of the act, the member of this side of the house and the members in the opposition have all written to the OPP, to the chief electoral officer, when are you going to stand up at your place and do the right thing and cut these two bad apples loose? Thank you very much Mr. Speaker. As I said, we have just received, we have all just received this information. We have heard that we will continue to work in full cooperation with elections Ontario. The fact is Mr. Speaker that this is the next phase in election Ontario's process and we will let the process unfold Mr. Speaker. Thank you. Final supplementary. Member from Dufferin, Caledon will come to order. We're members of the legislative assembly of Ontario. We can decide that we're going to carry and do politics differently in this province. And the opposition, we were there. We wrote the chief electoral officer. We listened to the tapes. We could hear it. Ontarians could hear it. Now we're asking you a very simple question. Now the report is here and we all have a copy of it. Do the right thing, call for the resignations and let's move forward. Mr. Speaker, again as I have said, we have all just received this information. I understand the political imperative of the party officer Mr. Speaker. We will continue to work with elections Ontario. I am glad that they have taken this seriously and that they have tabled this report Mr. Speaker. As I have said, any suggestion, this doesn't change the fact that any suggestion that anything was offered in exchange for any action is false Mr. Speaker. That has not changed and that will not change. The fact is that we were working to keep this young man involved in the process. That's what Patricia Cerbero was doing. We just received this information Mr. Speaker and we'll take it under consideration. Thank you. Speaker, my question is back to the premier. I'm going to read you again a paragraph from the chief electoral officers report. Having reviewed the evidence and findings of this regulatory investigation, I'm of the opinion that the actions of Jerry Lahi Jr. and Patricia Cerbera amount to an apparent contravention of subsection 96.1e of the election act as reflected in my attached report. Consequently I have reported the matter to the Attorney General of Ontario in accordance with section 402 of the election act. Premier, if you stand with these two, you're going to fall with these two. Stand up and follow up for the reservations. Premier. Thank you very much Mr. Speaker. I appreciate the sentiment from the member opposite as I have said. We just received this information. We received the information from elections Ontario. The member has quoted from one letter. I will quote from the letter regarding my involvement. Having reviewed the evidence and findings from this regulatory investigation. Excuse me. I'm going to ask the members from Dufferin, Caledon and Huron, Bruce to come to order please. Second time for both. Carry on. I am of the opinion that the actions of Premier Wynne do not amount to an apparent contravention of subsection 96.1e of the election act. And similarly in the letter regarding Glen Tebow, having reviewed the evidence and findings from this regulatory investigation, I am of the opinion that the actions of Mr. Tebow do not amount to an apparent contravention of subsection 96.1e of the election act. So Mr. Speaker, we received all of this information. Thank you. Supplementary. Speaker again, my question goes back to the Premier. In recent months your government has distanced itself from alleged criminals like Ben Levin for child porn, Chris Mazza for corruption and expense scandals, and Livingston Miller and Feist for the destruction of gas plant documents. Premier, you are degrading your office. Cut this bad apple loose and apologize to the people of Ontario. Leave this information today and we will continue to cooperate with elections on Ontario as well as Patricia Sabara. But nothing in this information today changes the fact Mr. Speaker that there was no offer for any action Mr. Speaker. The minister is not helping. And the member is not helping either. Thank you. Finish please. Deep respect for elections on Ontario and for the work that the chief electoral officer does Mr. Speaker. And I understand that they are moving now into the next phase but the fact is that what I did and what we have done on this side Mr. Speaker was work to keep a young person involved in the party. That is what we did Mr. Speaker. Regretfully I've heard some unparliamentary language and I can't identify the individual and I wish they would never say that again. Final supplementary. Premier you can spin it any way you want. You can talk about getting a young person involved you can issue press releases saying the tapes exonerate your staff but clearly proof is in these documents. There are contraventions. You can do the right thing Premier. Order. You can be what you said you would be at our inaugural meeting of this legislation. You can do politics differently. You can be open and transparent. Premier apologize to the people of Ontario. Let's get these people's resignations and let's move forward. Thank you. Premier. Mr. Speaker I received this information this morning. I've said that repeatedly. Patricia Sabara will continue to work with elections Ontario Mr. Speaker. And the fact is that elections Ontario has moved into the next phase. The Attorney General's office Mr. Speaker is and the other authorities will now take that investigation to the next stage Mr. Speaker and I will take all of this information under advisement Mr. Speaker. New question. It was a third party. My question is for the Premier. Today the Chief Electoral Officer said I quote it is my opinion that the actions of Jerry Lahi Jr. and Pat Sabara, Patricia Sabara constitute an apparent contravention of subsection 961E of the Elections Act. Speaker I want to ask the Premier when she's going to actually fire Pat Sabara and remove Mr. Lahi from his position as the chair of the police services board. I will answer it once again. We just received this information Mr. Speaker. I've said from the outset that we will work with and that Patricia Sabara will work in full cooperation with elections Ontario. We have done that. We will continue to work with the authorities Mr. Speaker and as I just received this information this morning Mr. Speaker we are taking it under advisement. Thank you. Supplementary. Speaker elections Ontario is non-partisan. They've investigated the actions of the Premier's office and her operatives and they say that Jerry Lahi Jr. and Pat Sabara broke the law. When will the Premier admit that this has happened and asked for their jobs? When will she make sure that she does the right thing and removes these people from their responsibilities because they no longer have the public trust speaking. Well Mr. Speaker, what the letters have said and that's the point that I was making earlier that in fact in terms of the fact nothing has changed Mr. Speaker. The elections Ontario is talking about allegations. They're talking about apparent allegations Mr. Speaker about the appearances. So the fact is that there was no commitment to offer anything in exchange for an action Mr. Speaker. That has not changed from yesterday to today. I made a decision about appointing a candidate. We work to keep the past candidate involved Mr. Speaker. That's the fact. Elections Ontario has taken this seriously and I'm pleased that they've taken it seriously and the process will unfold Mr. Speaker. But nothing in terms of the fact has changed from yesterday to today. Final supplementary. Speaker the report is one thing but what actually happened is something else altogether and it's time this Premier comes clean on exactly what happened around the time in February. This Premier learned that David Livingston was the subject of a police investigation. She rushed in to say quote, this is not the way government should operate. This is not the way the Premier's office should conduct itself. This is not the way my office operates. Now elections Ontario has an unprecedented finding in their investigation. They say that the election act was in fact broken. When will this Premier fire Pat Sorbara and make sure that Mr. Lawheed is removed from his position of public trust on the police services board in Sydney? So once again let's just be clear Mr. Speaker that is not what elections Ontario has said. Elections Ontario is talking about apparent actions Mr. Speaker. The facts have not changed from yesterday to today Mr. Speaker. Elections Ontario is going to the next phase Mr. Speaker. They have referred the complaint to the Minister of the Attorney General for further examination by the proper authority. This is in process Mr. Speaker. I received this information this morning as everyone in the house did. That I have said. The member from Renfrew, Nipissing, Canberra will come to order. New question. The leader of the third party. Speaker my next question is to the Premier. We now have Mr. Lawheed, Mr. Sorbara elections Ontario and the OPP with one version of what happened in Sudbury. The chief electoral officer said and the Premier with another version of what happened. So we have two different versions. We talked about that yesterday. It's clear the Premier is still sticking to that today. The chief electoral officer said this having reviewed the evidence, reviewed the evidence and findings from this regulatory investigation it is my opinion that the actions of Jerry Lawheed and Patricia Sorbara constitute an apparent contravention of subsection 961E of the Elections Act. This Premier has her version of the truth and everybody else has a different one. It must be getting pretty lonely is what I would say. Whose version of the truth can the people of Ontario believe? It's important to read closely what has been said in the opinion and an apparent contravention Mr. Speaker. There isn't a conclusion in that language. What Elections Ontario has done is they have passed this process on to the next phase through the Attorney General's office Mr. Speaker for further examination by the proper authorities. That is what the next stage is Mr. Speaker. We all just received this information this morning and I will take it under advisement. The Premier says that nothing in fact has changed but that is not true. Today Elections Ontario confirmed that there was a wrongdoing in Sudbury. This is a nonpartisan organization Speaker. This nonpartisan organization did their jobs and they came to the conclusion that Jerry Lawheed offered bribes to Andrew Olivier. Now the question remains will this Premier do the right thing? If she's not prepared to actually fire Pat Sorbara and Mr. Lawheed will she confirm that she will be appointing an independent investigator and prosecutor for this process to go forward. Time to actually take a look at what happened. In this by-election the best candidate Actually don't stop the clock. Order please. Carry on. Yes Speaker the people of Sudbury have spoken. In this election the best candidate and the older message was elected. And Speaker we've been very clear the Premier has said over and over again we did have a conversation with a past candidate about how to stay involved, how to continue to make a positive contribution. I think anyone here would, nobody here would suggest that those are conversations that happen within parties. Speaker the member from resigned her seat, accepted a paid position on the same day. I said and I quote from the Toronto Star, Scott who will now be the part of the paid election running this year. Final supplementary. Speaker this is a shameful demonstration of a government that simply will not take responsibility for its actions. They deserve so much better than this Speaker. They deserve to have trust in the Premier's office they deserve to have trust in the government they deserve to have people who are working for the Premier and the government to be above this kind of accusation and when this kind of accusation comes forward they deserve to have a Premier that steps up to the challenge and behaves in a way that's dignified and appropriate for a Premier to behave. Will she make sure Mr. Lawheed is no longer the chair of the police services board in Sudbury and will she appoint an independent prosecutor from outside of Ontario. That's 2009. Scott conceded it's a very difficult issue. A very difficult issue to get MPPs who have no pension plan to resign. Order carry on please. So Speaker it is not credible. Remember from Storm on Dundas and South Cullingary will come to order. Speaker it is simply not credible for the opposition parties to Remember from Prince Edward Hastings come to order. That don't happen in the political process. I suspect that we're difficult conversations with Jonah Shine, with Paul Ferrara, with Laurie Scott, the member of the Speaker. In politics this happens we have to talk to Paul. Please. The member from Renfrew will come to order. The member from Bruce Gray Owensal will come to order. And the member from Prince Edward Hastings will come to order. Second time for two of you. New question? The member from Leonard Frontenac Attica. Premier you apparently don't mind living and conducting your office in the shadows of shame, disgust and malfeasance. But Premier your actions cast a shadow I will ask you to withdraw. But your actions cast a long shadow over this whole institution and every member in it. It also casts a long dark shadow over the province your actions. Any honourable Premier would take this seriously. You mentioned that the chief electoral officer took this matter seriously. But clearly you are not. You are prepared to bring an injury to this institution. Will you do the honourable thing, relieve Sobera and Lowheed from their jobs until this matter is cleared up in the courts. Let me once again say that we all just got this information Mr Speaker and what I will not do is take rash advice from the other side of the floor until I've had an opportunity to consider all of the information. Let me just read from the report. This is page 8 in the report. What it says is that to form an opinion that conducts amounts to an apparent contravention is set out in section 4.0.2 of the Election Act. I must be satisfied based on the evidence obtained in my investigation that this is a prima facie case of a contravention. This means that I must be aware of sufficient facts that if proven correct would constitute a contravention of the Election Act or the Election Finances Act. And he goes on to say I am neither deciding to prosecute a matter nor determining anyone's guilt or innocence. That is what he says in the report Mr Speaker. Premier the Chief Electoral Officer cannot prosecute however he has the Chief Electoral Officer is an independent non-partisan officer of this house. He has a duty and obviously he's taken it seriously. Everybody knows what the right thing to do here is. The Chief Electoral Officer has spelled it out clearly that these allegations are a prima facie case of wrongdoing. He's recommended further action. How come you won't take any action at all? Premier no action at all. Have those too bad apples be removed and do the whole thing and take away this dark shadow that you're casting over all of this institution. Over what I quoted and let me just add to it go a little bit farther. So again what the Electoral Officer says this means I must be aware of sufficient facts that if proven correct would constitute a contravention of the Election Act or the Election Finances Act. When I form an opinion that there has been an apparent contravention in quotes I do not weigh questions of credibility or balance competing facts as between the parties. I am neither deciding to prosecute a matter nor determining anyone's guilt or innocence. Those decisions are respectively for prosecutors and judges. That is what the Chief Electoral Officer has said Mr. Speaker. He has passed on this information to the next phase of his process. You're talking about taking this to the next phase. You say that you'll take elections Ontario report under advisement. The fact is that political interference is at the heart of this scandal. Will the Premier commit today to take herself out of this process? Will she take her Liberal Attorney General out of this process? And will you appoint an independent prosecutor to prosecute these charges? Mr. Speaker. And trust the processes that we have in place in Ontario. Those decisions are respectively for prosecutors and judges. Start the clock. Supplementary. Well to the Premier. Premier it's in fact your disrespect of the process that's put you in this mess in the first place. The Chief Electoral Officer has said his report is now in the hands of the Minister of the Attorney General, your Liberal Cabinet Minister. I'm looking at the Minister of Eternal Attorney General who's sitting in the Liberal Front Bench and I'm asking will the Premier take out of the hands of the Liberal Attorney General and into the hands of an independent prosecutor from outside Ontario the responsibility to actually prosecute these charges? Attorney General. The Chief Electoral Officer is an independent officer of the Legislative Assembly. The Chief Electoral Officer is in the process in place to investigate complaint. As has been mentioned previously on numerous occasions this process exclusively involve non-partisan official within the Ministry of the Attorney General. No political staff including myself or member of my political office have anything to do with this process. The system is already designed so that only non-partisan official and no any complaint and the third party has been made aware of this process. So and it is my understanding that the matter is being dealt with by another prosecution services. Thank you. Thank you. My question is to the Minister of Tourism, Culture and Sport. This week is members of the Architectural Conservancy of Ontario here with us in the Legislature. All members have the right to ask questions in the silence. As a past President of ACO Cambridge I'm proud to have worked with the ACO. The Architectural Conservancy of Ontario was incorporated in 1933. They had a vision to preserve the best of Ontario's architecture in natural areas that continues today. Preserving our heritage boosts tourism and provides economic benefits such as revenue from the film industry. Murdoch's mysteries chose My Riding of Cambridge as a filming location. Heritage tourists stay longer, spend more and this is a growing area of tourism. One year the annual Heritage House Tour in My Riding of Cambridge brought in 600 visitors from around the province. Speaker could the Minister please tell the members of this house about Ontario Heritage Week. Thank you. I want to first start by wishing all Ontarians who are celebrating Chinese New Year Happy New Year. I also want to thank the member from Cambridge for her advocacy around heritage here in the province of Ontario. Heritage Week is an amazing opportunity to put a spotlight on promoting and protecting our province's heritage. I'm glad the member from Cambridge has embraced these values. Ontario started on Monday and will go until Sunday, February 22nd and throughout communities across this great province. There will be many different events so I encourage all members to get out there and support their communities as they celebrate the heritage here in the province of Ontario. I know the MPP from Kingston the Island attended a great event this week to kick off Ontario Heritage Week. The event took place at the Ryerson Athletic Centre which goes to a historical site where the Toronto Maple Leafs won eight Stanley Cups and I hope all members have the opportunity to celebrate this amazing week. Thank you Minister. I know that each year there's a theme chosen to be able to celebrate Ontario's Heritage Week. When I was president of ACO one year we asked the Municipal Heritage Advisory Committee and City Council to designate the Shade Street Arena in Cambridge under part four of the Ontario Heritage Act. Not only was it the oldest operating arena in North America it was beautifully built in 1922 with yellow brick with a roof full of skylights to allow in the natural light but one of the reasons it was designated was culturally significant history. Hockey player Bobby Hull played in this arena and taller cranced in the famed figure skater made his name while he skated in the Shade Street Arena. The citizens in my riding of Cambridge are very proud of our sports here. Speaker could the minister please tell the members of this House about the theme for this year's Ontario Heritage Week. Thank you Mr. Speaker and again I'd like to thank the member from Cambridge for her question. The theme for this year's Heritage Week is Play and Deer Inspire, Ontario's Sport Heritage and it's a celebration of our athletic past here in the province of Ontario and it's a reminder of our sport legacy that's enriched our province and it's provided inspiration to countless Ontario athletes and it's given us Mr. Speaker a very strong foundation to which to grow and develop sport and athleticism here in the province of Ontario. This year's theme is especially fitting because as we know in four and a half months we will have the Pan Am pair of Pan Am games that will take place in the GTA and throughout the province of Ontario and our athletes will be in the spotlight this summer and I know that they'll build Ontario's strong sport heritage and also make some history of their own. Thank you Mr. Speaker. Thank you Mr. Speaker. My question is for the Premier. Premier the report from Elections Ontario is not ambivalence it is clear there is an apparent breach of the rules they have broken the law according to the Chief Electoral Officer they have broken the law. Premier you have claimed to be a leader. I ask you to show some of that leadership you talked about always acting in the best interest of Ontarians with a commitment to transparency, to openness and accountability show that you are accountable and cut Pat Sabara and Jerry Lawheed loose at least until time as this investigation is complete. The Attorney General has completed their investigation and the OPP have completed theirs. Show some leadership and have these people step aside so that the people across this province can believe that there is some integrity left in this government. Mr. Speaker let me just once again read what the Chief Electoral Officer has said. To form an opinion that conduct amounts to an apparent contravention as set out in section 4.0.2 of the election act I must be satisfied based on the evidence obtained in my investigation that there's a prima facie case of a contravention. This means I must be aware of sufficient facts that if proven correct would constitute a contravention of the Election Act or the Election Finances Act. He goes on to say I am neither deciding to prosecute a matter nor determining anyone's guilt or innocence those decisions are respectively for prosecutors and judges. That is what the Chief Electoral Officer has said Mr. Speaker. Supplementary. Leadership is not by demonstrating how long you can stonewall. Leadership is about doing the right thing even if it hurts. Even if it hurts. Even if it's an admission that something has come to a part. Now I guess we could ask are you protecting Pat Sobera and Jerry Loughey because they were working under your direct orders or would you do the right thing respect the report from the Chief Electoral Officer send these people into the penalty box at the very least if you're not going to fire them outright put them in the penalty box until this matter can be cleared up so on behalf of the people of Ontario I ask you do the right thing. Thank you. I'm going to say this one more time here is I'm quoting from the Chief Electoral Officer he said I am neither the Chief Electoral Officer writes I am neither deciding to prosecute a matter nor determining anyone's guilt or innocence that is clearly what the Chief Electoral Officer has said. Speaker the people of Sudbury have made a decision the officer is not happy with that decision but I think at least they need to respect that decision. The new member for Sudbury has been a very strong advocate and championing the causes that matter to the people of Sudbury. Thank you. New question. The leader of the food party. Speaker my question is for the Premier. Pat Sobera is the Premier's Deputy Chief of Staff. Right now she is on the public and she is making decisions that affect Ontarians from one end of this province to the other. Today the Chief Electoral Officer said that quote I am of the opinion that the actions of Jerry Lahi Jr. and Pat Sobera amount to apparent contraventions of subsection 961E of the Elections Act. Apparent obvious certain very very visually clear my attempt to have everyone put questions and answers in silence applies to everybody. Placement leader. Will the Premier do the right thing and ask or have Pat Sobera step aside from her position. It's hard to believe that I have to do this one more time but I'm going to do this one more time speaker. The Chief Electoral Officer wrote I am neither deciding to prosecute a matter nor determining anyone's guilt or innocence. I think the members of the opposition need to actually read what the Chief Electoral Officer said and respect the process. The Premier has said repeatedly that we will fully cooperate with any investigations underway in this matter as we have always done speaker. I do think it's important to remind the members opposite and I know this isn't easy but they had an MPP. The MPP stepped aside after five months and they lost to see the people of Sudbury who are sick and tired of the negativity. They appreciated the positive camera. Thank you. New question. New question. Leader of the third party. Thank you speaker. It is actually my supplementary thank you. Speaker back to the Premier what's really hard to believe is that the Chief Electoral Officer actually says that they have never conducted a regulatory investigation into allegations of bribery or ever reported an apparent contravention of the home statutes of his office to the Attorney General. That's what's actually really hard to believe is that that's actually happening for the first time in Ontario under the watch of this government because of the actions that they've taken. Now I talked about Pat Serbera now I want to ask about Jerry Lockheed who is actually in a position of trust speaker as the Chief as the head of a police services board that's supposed to be upholding the laws of Ontario and this report says that he actually has broken the laws of Ontario. So my question to the Premier is when is she going to call for Jerry Lockheed to step aside from the position of the head of the police services board in Sudbury. Thank you. Attorney General. Mr. Speaker, I think that the Chief Electoral Officer in his report and his letter at page 4 specified very clearly that they have developed a protocol, a new protocol that was not in existence when they were in power but it's a new protocol that in this protocol any potential for placing the Attorney General in a personal conflict of interest is eliminated because the report of an apparent contravention is made by my office directly to the Deputy Attorney General of Ontario. And like I said earlier I was informed that the matter is being dealt with an independent prosecution service not by the ministry of Attorney General. Thank you very much. I apologize to the leader of the third party for missing her supplementary new question from Scarborough Roosevelt. Thank you Mr. Speaker. My question is to the Minister of Economic Development, Employment and Infrastructure regarding the Rouge Park in my riding and parts of Markham. Provincial governments of all stripes have upheld strong environmental standards for the benefit of the Rouge ever since Premier David Peterson announced these lands would be protected. Unfortunately the weak legislation put forward by the federal government to establish a national Rouge park fails to protect the environmental integrity of the Rouge. As a long time supporter of the Rouge I've been following this controversial Bill C-40 at the federal level of the Rouge National Park Act with interest and concern. It appears that the federal conservatives have blown a great opportunity to create a national Rouge park. Mr. Speaker, would the minister provide this house with an update regarding Bill C-40 and how it is failing Ontario and the environment in its current form. Thank you. Minister. Well thank you Mr. Speaker. I want to thank the member for that question. I want to thank him for his passion for saving the Rouge. He and I have been involved for over 25 years together in efforts to protect and preserve this valuable piece of land. Unfortunately the federal government has refused to adopt any recommendations from Ontario residents or environmental groups that would strengthen environmental integrity requirements with this bill. It's incredibly disappointing that the bill passed through the House of Commons in its original weak state. This bill as it stands simply fails to protect the environmental integrity of the Rouge and all the lands that surround it Mr. Speaker and that's not acceptable. As a result this minister and this government will not in good faith transfer provincially owned lands to federal ownership. Our government and I are calling on the Senate to work with the environmental groups. Those who founded the Rouge in the first place and fought for it to refer the bill back to the House of Commons and allow the bill to be strengthened appropriately. Thank you Mr. Speaker. Thank you Mr. Speaker and I would like to thank the minister for this update. I'm proud to be part of a government that will not allow weaker laws to govern this important natural landscape in my riding. My constituents will be extremely glad to know that our government is championing the need to protect the environmental integrity of the Rouge. We have an obligation to assure that the Rouge is protected for future generations to experience and enjoy. Mr. Speaker some of my constituents have been hearing incorrect information from the federal conservatives regarding our government stands towards agriculture on these important lands. Mr. Speaker can the minister please educate the House on our government's positions towards agricultural lands within the park. Thank you minister. Again Mr. Speaker I want to thank the member for his passion for these lands and let's be clear our government has always supported agriculture uses as a proposed use in the park. I've met with several farming groups Mr. Speaker and representatives of the agriculture community there to reassure them that our government has long accepted and supported agriculture as a continuing use in the park. Our environmental partners for the most part have also been clear that they support agriculture uses in the proposed park and welcome farmers and partners in conservation. Together we can make the Rouge a model for sustainable agricultural practices and again I repeat that we urge the Senate to work with the environmental groups when Bill C-40 is referred to a Senate committee and send the legislation back Mr. Speaker to the House of Commons to allow it to be strengthened so that the views of those environmentalists that founded the park and the views of our agricultural stakeholders can be taken into consideration. Thank you Mr. Speaker. I want to again read into the record a fact that was presented by the chief electoral officer today in his report. To which ministry please? To the premier. Thank you. Obviously to the premier. Not obviously. The quote is no chief electoral officer of Ontario has ever conducted a regulatory investigation into allegations of bribery or ever reported an apparent contravention of the home statutes of my office to the Attorney General. This is a historic day for the province of Ontario. Wow the truth hurts minister the truth hurts. Speaker Mr. Bison and I for the NDF we both wrote to the chief electoral officer. The OPP are involved. Question please? The Indian Commission is involved. The office of the conflict of interest commissioner is involved. When are you going to Thank you. Stop the clock please. The minister of Aboriginal affairs, the minister for Trinity Spadina, the minister of labour and the deputy house, no yes the deputy house leader who is now warned the rest of you will come to order. Premier Speaker, if it weren't too late for Academy Award nominations I would be nominating the members opposite for their indignation speaker. The reality is that both opposition parties have had conversations with potential candidates, with past candidates, about how to continue to stay involved how to continue to make a positive contribution. We need look no further than the member from Kawartha Lakes Broad Speaker. She herself conceded that it's a very delicate issue. Thank you. Finish please. The member has conceded that it is a very delicate issue speaker. The member from Dufferin Callaghan is warned. The member from Renford Nipissing Pembroke is warned. Kerry. Thank you speaker and of course it isn't just the PDs who have had those conversations. The NDP has as well. We need think no further back than 2013 of the Scarborough-Gildwood nomination where a long standing party member was railroaded by Adam Giambroni out of the nomination speaker. Thank you. Thank you. Supplementary. Thanks speaker my question going back to the Premier. Well you know what, there's a few Academy Awards going on and some performances going on there. Listen speaker I'm going to ask a very simple question. This is a government under three OPP investigations the Chief Electoral Officer has presented his report on his investigation. We've got other officers of the legislature we've got other commissions that are investigating this government. My question is simple Premier will you agree with me that we should reconstitute the Justice Committee have these people attend the meeting and let's discuss these investigations and get a full report to MPPs in this legislature. Deputy Premier. Well speaker you know I hate to go back but I'm going to. This is an article by Richard Brennan in the Toronto Star. Tempers flared Saturday when NDP Provincial Council blocked an investigation into a July Scarborough-Gildwood nomination won by former Toronto Councillor Adam Giambroni. You are one of the executives members has maintained that several ineligible members were allowed to vote giving the two person race to Giambroni a last minute entry. Speaker a call for an independent probe and the results was ruled out of order. I am very disappointed the President of the Association told the star. So Amarjeet a young woman who immigrated from India overcame childhood polio to run for the nomination was railroaded by the. Thank you. There are times where even I have to correct my record I apologize to the member from Trinity Spadina it was actually Beaches East York. New question the leader of the official opposition sorry I apologize again I'm hoping I said ingest Thank you. Sorry about that New question the leader of the third party. My questions for the Premier. Elections Ontario says the Chief Electoral Officer says I am of the opinion that the actions of Jerry Lahi Jr. and Patricia Sorbera amount to apparent contraventions of subsection 961E of the elections act. My question to the Premier is who is responsible for giving Pat Sorbera her instructions. Thank you. The people of Sudbury made a decision to actually send a liberal a liberal who represented their value. We are delighted that he is here making that positive contribution speaker. Here's what why I believe that the people of Sudbury changed their minds and chose to send a liberal to Queens Park. The NDP has twice rejected a budget that contained many progressive initiatives including an increase to the Ontario child benefit they said no not once but twice. They said no to families caring for people with developmental disabilities not once but twice. They said no to personal support workers who had an increased supplementary. Elections Ontario says I am of the opinion that the actions of Jerry Lahi Jr. and Patricia Sorbera amount to apparent contraventions of subsection 961E of the elections act. Who is responsible for giving Jerry Lahi his instructions. So speaker again let's look at what the NDP who seem to have left their values somewhere else what they rejected not once but twice. They said no to 56,000 children that need investment in the student nutrition program. They said no to workers who deserve a fair minimum wage. They said no to aboriginal communities who benefit from the remote communities allowance and the regional economic development fund. They said no to people struggling with homelessness who need enhanced funding of the community homelessness prevention initiative. They said no to people who'd rely on social assistance rates and were hoping for an increase. They said no to people living in poverty who will rely on a new local poverty reduction fund. They said no to workers of future retirees who will save for retirement with a made in Ontario pension plan. They said no to families around even child care models. Thank you. Do you have a question? Member from Barrie. Speaker my question is for the minister of government and consumer services. Speaker Ontario's senior citizen population is projected to double from 2012 to 2036 and I am one of those people. I know the government has committed to better serving this community by delivering strong health services creating the Ontario retirement pension plan and working in collaboration with various stakeholder organizations. Speaking to my constituents I hear frequent concerns regarding the senior community and their consumer protection. Media coverage has described multiple scenarios involving seniors being taken advantage of by businesses and unscrupulous organizations. Many constituents are concerned about their loved ones and relatives who may not be familiar with modern industry trends and sales tactics making them the seniors vulnerable to exploiting. Thank you. Minister. Thank you speaker and I want to first thank the hard working member from Barrie for this important question. To discuss our government's efforts to protect Ontario consumers particularly vulnerable groups like seniors who can be victimized by unfair business practices our government's committed to helping seniors by providing them with protection on their transactions in particular bill 55 the stronger protection for consumers act was passed to protect vulnerable Ontarians against abusive and predatory practices of some companies. The act requires clarity in contracts and mandates cooling off periods on certain actions specifically door to door sales which often target our seniors with the constantly changing marketplace it's also important that seniors know their rights we have an active consumer awareness team to inform educate and empower Ontarians the consumer awareness workshops active living fairs and trade shows Ontario with the support of our ministry help seniors learn about industry trends and how their families can stay protected we're going to focus on effective legislation and far reaching consumer protection program. Thank you speaker thank you. Speaker my thanks to the minister for his response and for his efforts in improving consumer protection for Ontario seniors. I've heard positive feedback from various constituents about the ministry of government and consumer services awareness campaigns and applaud any measures that encourage Ontario consumers to ask the right questions. I understand that certain sectors can be especially difficult for our older community to navigate. Speaker can the minister of government and consumers services speak about what he sees as the most pressing concerns for senior consumers and how he plans to address them. Thank you minister of government and consumer services. Thank you speaker I want to thank my colleague from Barry for her advocacy for seniors in her riding. I'm pleased to address a couple of major concerns for seniors that have been detailed in the media lately first of all we're working to protect seniors as they monitor their finances in certain cases widows and widowers must manage their finances for the first time after relying heavily on a spouse for years. We help seniors from being taken advantage of in these situations by requiring clarity and contracts and implementing a 10 day cooling off period. We've also noted that many seniors are moving to condominiums they need less space than they once did. We're working with this community by reforming the condominium act for the first time in 15 years so that seniors on fixed income are not left without options with respect to mandatory qualifications for condo managers and affordable dispute resolution mechanism. These improvements will protect the growing number of condo dwelling seniors. Also a speaker we're continuing to identify on the Ontario beware list important issues that impact our seniors and I look forward to continue. Thank you. The question is for the premier. The chief electoral officer in doing his duty today is essentially asking that the Attorney General get this matter before Court of Law which is her and her ministry's responsibility. It is the chief electoral officer's job as you know or ought to know to it's not the chief electoral's job I should say to try this matter. He has no authority to do that nor can he convict or acquit. He can only recommend what he has done today and point out and recommend that the Attorney General bring this matter forward and he's done his duty today by pointing out the wrong that has been done. It's your government job to get this matter to the ultimate judgment of a court so I ask you today will you direct your Attorney General to expedite this matter and put it out as soon as possible. Thank you. I appreciate the analysis of the Leader of the Opposition and I know the Attorney General will want to comment in the supplementary but I just want to be clear because there were a couple of things that he said that I think are not exactly what the chief electoral officer said. So just to remind everyone what he said is that to form an opinion that conduct amounts to an apparent contravention is set out in section 4.0.2 of the Election Act I must be satisfied based on the evidence obtained in my investigation that there's a prima facie case of a contravention. This means that I must be aware of sufficient facts that if proven correct would constitute a contravention of the Election Act or the Election Finance Act and he goes on to say as the Leader of the Opposition has said, I am neither deciding to prosecute a matter nor determining anyone's guilt or innocence. Those decisions are effectively for prosecutors and judges and so it is absolutely the case that he has passed it on to the Attorney General. Supplementary? I didn't really hear an answer. You're laying out a process as you guys so often do. The fact of the matter is it's time for this matter to be put before a judge. Only the Attorney General can do that. I'm asking you to direct, not her directly. Remember from Beaches East York. Let's settle it once and for all. These people deserve their day in court by not allowing it to go to court and settle this matter. You're not only dragging down your office. You're saying the OPP are wrong to investigate this matter. Now you're saying the Chief Electoral Officer is wrong. You're saying the opposition is wrong. You're saying the media is wrong. You're saying the people of Ontario is wrong. Well, ma'am, you are wrong. You're delusional in this case. Do the right thing. Fire the people of Bolivar. Why don't we follow her back? I had mentioned previously on numerous occasions this process exclusively involve non-partisan official within the Ministry of the Attorney General. No political staff, including myself or member of my political office, have anything to do with this process. It's the Chief Prosecutor Officer who deals with this process. And I find it very offensive that a member of the third party know exactly that and continue to let the public believe that we direct presentation from my office. It's very clear in the letter of the Chief Electoral Officer, Mr. Speaker. Thank you. I have a question for the leader of the third party. Thank you, Speaker. To maintain the public trust in the administration of Justice Speaker, if something looks like a conflict, it is in the interest of justice to remove that perception. That's why the Liberal government appointed an independent prosecutor when Brian was facing charges, Speaker. Will the Premier do the same thing the Liberals did when a Liberal Cabinet Minister was facing an investigation and appoint an independent prosecutor today? Mr. Speaker, I said it twice already in this House. This matter is being dealt with with independent prosecution services. I've already been sent this week sometime to the Public Prosecution Service of Canada. So I've said it, it's the third time and I hope that you will respect the process. Thank you. Thank you. Supplementary. Speaker, when Michael Bryant, a former Liberal Cabinet Minister, was under investigation, there was a prosecutor from outside of Ontario in charge of that investigation. That was the right thing to do, Speaker. This whole perception of justice not being done has to be removed from this process so that the public trust can be upheld. That is the bottom line. Now today, the Chief Electoral Officer said that one of the Premier's closest advisors, her Deputy Chief of Staff and Campaign Director, has in his opinion broken the Elections Act. Now it's time for the prosecution of that accusation. Will the Premier do the right thing and appoint an independent prosecutor from outside of Ontario right now today? First of all, Mr. Speaker, nobody has been charged. And I've repeated, it's for the fourth time that this matter is being dealt with by an independent prosecution services. It's being dealt by the Public Prosecution Services of Canada, not Ontario. Member from Timmins James Bay, come to order. I'm going to recognize the member, but before I do, the Member from Timmins James Bay was still talking while I warned him, so I forgot that. The Member from Kitchener Centre. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Well, my question is for the Minister of Children and Youth Services. Minister for young people who have special needs, whether it's difficulty speaking or mobility issues that stop them from getting around, the proper care can help them lead a more fulfilling and independent life. I've heard from constituents in my writing of Kitchener Centre about their needs for community tailored programming. We have a wonderful example of this in my writing of Kitchener Centre at the Kids Ability Facility that opened in June of 2011. Kids and parents now have access to therapy space and a large double gymnasium. Minister, can you please inform the members of this house what are you doing to improve services for children and youth who have special needs? Thank you, Minister of Children and Youth Services. Thank you, Speaker. And I want to thank the Member from Kitchener Centre for an important question and for being at the event with me last week at Kids Ability Centre. Our special needs strategy speaker is focused on supporting children and youth with special needs to get timely and effective services through early identification, coordinating services, and making rehabilitation services more seamless from birth right through the school years. And when I was parliamentary assistance speaker to this ministry, I traveled throughout the province and heard from families, heard from researchers and service providers on the strategy and informed the work we're doing now. So last year we invested $5 million a year to help children's treatment centres. And I want to say at this centre speaker at Kids Ability, the money we have given them is to help poor rehabilitation but what's very, very exciting through an additional $62,500 in one time funding to reduce weight less, Kids Ability was able to eliminate, completely eliminate assessment weight less through our funding speaker. So that means when a family goes there Thank you. Thank you. This is an order for the members from Haresone Mascolka for indulging me. I just want to ask members to recognize and welcome my daughter Abigail and my granddaughter Beatrice with this delight. Thank you Mr. Speaker. I'd like to recognize Anela Songrati who's joining us here from the beautiful riding of Don Valley East. Thank you Mr. Speaker. I'd like to acknowledge delegation from Maycada, Leah Maluces, Christian Hellman from White's Head, Ontario, Kathleen Rogers and Anthony Dube. They met with me and I thank them for their interest in democracy. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The leader of the, a point of order, at the point of order from the member, the leader of the opposition. Mr. Speaker, I would hope all members of the House would help those of us here in the PC party. Say goodbye to Mr. Alex Padoos, who has served very ably behind the chair there as our director of legislative affairs for many years. He goes on to the Senate. No, he's not appointed to the Senate. He's got to work for the Senate. I'm sending him ahead of myself to clear the way for my appointment. He doesn't know that, but I just told him. So thank you, Alex, for your hard work, your dedication and our really, really good mission. Further, there are no deferred votes. This House stands recess until 1 p.m. this afternoon.


Now, we are going to look at the concept of quality of service with regards to how exactly the quality of service can be provisioned. For that, we have the concept of bearer. What are bearer channels? How do bearer channels provide bearer services? And what is the way to set up these bearer services? So bearer is essentially a service between different interfaces in the overall network architecture. Bearer allows a mechanism to exchange information between different network elements under certain constraints, that is, the exact requirements for bearer service are spelled out and bearer service is based on those requirements as constraints. These constraints actually mean if there is a definite bit rate requirement, if there is a certain quality of service class that needs to be implemented. Let us look at the overall network architecture and different bearers which are incorporated in the system architecture evolution. Here you can see we have the network elements starting from the user equipment on the customer premises side. We have the enode b, the serving gateway, the packet data network gateway and we have the extraneous or the external internet. Here we see that we have the interface between the user equipment and enode b and for that we have a radio bearer known as LTE and LTEA radio bearer also known as RAN radio access network bearer. Between enode b and the serving gateway we have the S1 bearer. If you recall, we looked at different interfaces starting from S1 right up to S9. Then we have the serving gateway and packet data network gateway connected through S5, S8 bearer. On top of this we have the evolved packet system. The evolved packet system actually consists of all these network elements and the UTRAN and EUTRAN in LTEA. So we have the EPS bearer, EPS bearer actually is opened between the user equipment and the packet gateway. Then on the top we have the end to end service bearer. So we have all these different kinds of bearers with their scope. Let's continue our discussion on these bearers one by one. Whenever a mobile or a user equipment enters into a certain network after necessary connection and registration, each user equipment is entitled to at least one basic bearer. It is known as the default bearer for providing IP connectivity. Please remember we are actually looking at these bearers because these bearers would be establishing the signaling and then carrying the data traffic which could be like voice or any other type of data. So it means by default at least one bearer is established known as a default bearer. In addition if there is a requirement other bearers can be established. Each bearer could have different quality of service requirements. So if we have multiple flows and if different flows correspond to the same quality of service requirements, these flows can be mapped onto same bearer because the bearer meets the quality of service requirements in terms of the bit rate and the priority level. Now regardless of whatever bearers we have seen, the bearers need to be set up. The process of the initiation of bearer setup starts at the user equipment. So when the user equipment starts an application layer activity, for instance if a client tries to contact a web server and establish a connection with it or if a voice call connection request is received at the call party or it's the other way the calling party is trying to establish a voice call connection. For that if there is a specific quality of service requirement which is going to be there because we are talking about interactive services like voice, voice over IP, video. So for that the user equipment and an application server which sits on the service provider or the operator side. The application server sits on the operator side. So the user equipment opens a connection and this is mediated or this is managed through the signaling system which is used in the overall engine architecture known as IP multimedia subsystem. So the user equipment and the application server are connected via the IP multimedia subsystem. Now it all depends on how subsequently the application server requests the evolved packet system bearer services. The point that is the most important and needs to be the take away point here is that when the user equipment opens up a connection with the application server the application server takes the responsibility to open respective bearers at different scopes. For instance between the user equipment to the E node B and between other network entities. So correspondingly the bearers are established for signaling with the lower layers including the radio bearer, the S1 bearer, S5, S8 bearer between the serving gateway and the packet data network gateway. The main point here is that the bearers are established to keep the load as much off the user equipment in terms of QS knowledge that is specific QS requirements and the configuration complexity. So what it means is that the user equipment has to be kept as light as possible in invoking these bearer channels so that the complexity stays on part of the network. So let's get back here once more. We see that we have the user equipment that basically opens the end to end service bearer with the application server. The application server correspondingly opens up lower layer bearers so that the user equipment is kept as much aloof and as much independent of the configuration and QS complexity as possible.


Welcome back to my channel and welcome if you are new here. It is Saturday. So you know what that means It is grocery haul time I have a huge grocery haul for you guys this week from three different stores I am gearing up for the Christmas holiday So I had to get all the things for that and then of course for my menu for the week So that I can get right back on track as soon as Christmas is over So I have a haul from Trader Joe's Costco and my typical Fred Meyer Kroger So if you want to see not only what I picked up for Christmas for my meals for this next week I'm also going to show you my meal plan and meal prep. You're gonna get all the information All you have to do is stay tuned So here's my haul from Costco the only thing you're not seeing is a case of beer for my husband But I go to Costco once a month usually and kind of stock up so when I was there this time I did just that so let me show you my Costco haul first I grabbed the variety pack of ziplocks I find that this works best for me rather than buying seven or eight boxes of sandwich bags and snack bags If you buy the variety pack you actually get a large box of the gallon the court snack and sandwich So really good deal about $14. I think not on coupon. Sometimes you can find this on coupon for even a better deal So I grabbed that We're almost out of our fresh grinding pepper. So I went ahead and picked up just some coarse pepper I'm gonna be putting this in a cute little dish and using it out of there once we're out of the grinder the grinder from Costco's great But it just does not grind enough at a time So it takes lots of grinds to get the right amount of pepper. So we're just gonna switch back to traditional loose salt and pepper Grab another of my vital proteins collagen peptides. I'm not quite out of my other one But like I've told you guys I have noticed a huge difference using these in my skin My hair my nails my joint recovery after jazzer size huge difference I mean huge so I put one scoop in my coffee every morning The serving is two scoops, but I just use one and it seems to be working perfectly. So Just restock that I'll just put it in storage until I'm out of my other container best price at Costco 2999 Chicken we were about out of chicken breasts You guys know I like these because they're a little individual packages and there's two to three breasts per package 299 a pound. So this was 2263 and there are six packs of chicken So this lasts us quite a while and it's just a great price and great quality chicken I decided to pick up this pre-cut fruit only because it was 999 And it has all the yummy fruits in there and I didn't want to have to buy them all separately and cut them all up So I just grabbed this so we can munch on it throughout the week and again It was 999. So not bad pineapple cantaloupe honeydew mango and grapes.  So this was a great deal two huge packages for 799 So great deal probably not the most ww friendly item. Oh, I guess they're not too That's only five links. So yeah, not the best for ww, but again, these are for my family on Christmas Dog biscuits these were a great deal. This is a five pound box and it was less than ten dollars It is grain-free, which my dogs have to have and there's no chicken. So all that's in this is pretty awesome There are apples pea flower molasses Peanut butter and pumpkin. That's it all ingredients from the USA Stellar price at Costco if you can head there before this coupon expires. So grab those These are my very favorite makeup remover wipes. I love them I usually buy them when they're on sale. They were not but it's still a great deal It was 1299 and you get 180 wipes so there's a couple big packages and then four little travel packs, which is great just to throw in your suitcase So grab those Allergy medicine best price at Costco 1099 365 tablets so this lasts you essentially a year So we've been taking this pretty regularly. My husband takes it every day I take it almost every day and again best price is at Costco Also, I grabbed this Eos Lip balm pack it was on coupon for 1099 and there are nine tubes of lip balm if they're organic Shea we have vanilla bean a sweet mint and pomegranate raspberry So I'm a big chapstick where when I don't have lip gloss or lipstick on so at night or when I'm working So I'm just gonna throw this in my beauty drawer and I'll have plenty of lip balms on hand Batteries were on coupon. So we picked up the 9 volt We do replace the batteries in our smoke detector once a year Lola is petrified of the beeping smoke detector So scared she hides in shake. So we just want to be proactive and change the batteries so that poor little Lola doesn't get scared So this was a great price. I want to say $14 for eight batteries, which is a great deal Another thing I always buy at Costco is my monk fruit. This package is 899 and this is a huge package It is almost two pounds of a monk fruit for 899 So I have about a quarter of a bag left. So with all the baking this time of year I wanted to make sure I did not run out and lastly these were on coupon for 599 These are the Jimmy Dean fully cooked turkey sausage links. You guys know. I love these. They are one smart point per link They're really really delicious. I just microwave them and they're really good. They have great flavor So at that price I couldn't pass it up. So that is everything that I picked up at Costco Here's my trader Joe's haul. It is just a small one I picked up quite a bit for Christmas mainly but then just a couple of other fun things to have on hand So let's jump into the small trader Joe's haul. We have this stuffing for Thanksgiving and loved it It is absolutely delicious. This is the trader Joe's corn bread stuffing mix. It is so good and it makes a Ton it made a big six by nine pan and we had plenty of leftovers and it truly is delicious So we're gonna have that again this year on Christmas also for Christmas. I grabbed some sweet pull-apart Aloha rolls I'm just going to throw these in the freezer until Christmas. They're 90 calories per roll So I'll put the points of course here on the screen for you, but these are just to have with Christmas dinner For Christmas Eve, we want to do corn chips with dip. So I grabbed the organic corn chip dippers. These are so good These are very addicting. So these don't come in my house unless it's a special occasion But these are for Christmas Eve. Also, we're gonna be doing some appetizer type of things Christmas Eve So I grabbed the Mac and cheese bites. These look delicious as well So we'll be having those on Christmas Eve and it looks like it's 190 calories for three pieces Of course points are here on the screen for you to have on hand. I grabbed the organic shredded mozzarella This is my favorite cheese since they no longer have this light mozzarella This is one ounce for two points. So great price pricey or great points a little pricey 499 for the package and it's only eight ounces, but it's really really good and also for Christmas I splurged on my very favorite cheese, which is dumblinger and this is going to be part of the meat cheese cracker plate That we're going to have on Christmas Eve. Oh, I love this cheese so much. So I picked that up for Christmas Eve These I had to get before they're gone. I love the mini peppermint meringues You could actually have ten of these for four smart points or eleven of these for five. They're seriously so good I love them. So I grabbed those to have on hand. I was out of cocoa powder Actually to throw mine away. It was expired and with all the baking coming up I went ahead and grabbed the Trader Joe's unsweetened cocoa powder and then also for Christmas Eve I grabbed the body butter trio. So we do a fun little saran wrap game So I can wrap one of these little body butters up as a giveaway and these are amazing And then I think I'm gonna do one as a stocking stuffer for my mom and mother-in-law as well So 799 for three at Trader Joe's not a bad price. So that's everything that I picked up at Trader Joe's Here's my haul from Fred Meyer or Kroger. I did finish up the rest of my shopping for Christmas What you're not seeing is a case of water and a turkey because the turkey does not like me and was leaking everywhere We had to put it in like four or five bags. So it's in our fridge in the garage So there is a turkey for Christmas day. So let's jump into the Fred Meyer Kroger haul first for my husband I picked up the variety pack of Frito lay chips He likes to have these in his lunch and honestly, we can even work these into our plan. They're individually portioned You can't overeat them. He's particular on his chips. This is the favorite mix So this is not only just for snacking for him, but for his lunches for work I also grabbed another container of the I can't believe it's not butter light because I had a coupon That was about to expire and we actually go through quite a bit of this butter We both eat it. So and with baking in the holidays. I thought it'd be nice to have an extra one on hand I also picked up some Applegate Naturals uncured turkey pepperoni. This was on a killer sale for 3.99 I'm gonna throw it in the fridge great snack with a cheese stick perfect for pizza. So since it was such a great deal I went ahead and picked it up Also, speaking of great deal, they had their one pounds of natural ground beef. Now, this is 80 10 This is vegetarian fed no preservative 349 you guys normally 8 dollars a pound. So I grabbed five of them They're great for my husband when he wants tacos for lunch I'm actually making a Waikiki meatball for Christmas Eve.  So I picked up five just going to throw them into my freezer Also for eggs. I grabbed the blue sky Everyone needs eggs because there were no eggs at the store. So I had to go over to the organic section Which was fine. These were on sale for 549 which isn't too bad for pasture raised organic eggs So these are just for Christmas morning breakfast and then just to eat throughout the week Insernios mild Italian chicken sausage. I love this chicken sausage It is super duper low in points and it was also on sale. So I picked it up just gonna throw it into the freezer Organic ground turkey was only 399 a pound where this is normally about six dollars a pound So again, I needed turkey for a recipe this next week So this will come in handy and it's organic can't wait for that and then also for a couple recipes I needed ground beef. So I grabbed two of the 96 for extra lean ground beef for recipes this next week For my mashed potatoes, I use a sour cream and I discovered this at Thanksgiving that the sour cream with chives is delicious Delicious and mashed potatoes. So I picked up sour cream with chives for mashed potatoes Parmesan cheese for several recipes. I actually need it for two or three recipes I also needed a siago cheese, but they didn't have it So I'm just gonna have to sub parm or mozzarella or something in place of a siago French onion dip for Christmas Eve.  Don't want to run out rice crispy treats for my husband's lunch He really likes these. They're actually not too bad I will of course have the points, but they're only 90 calories So I'm gonna put those in the pantry for when he goes back to work after vacation He'll have those for his lunch for the Waikiki meatballs I need a pineapple chunks so I grabbed that and then I saw these and I had to get them to try them You can see I've tried them. Oh my goodness. You guys these are so good. These are the smart smash Molo's candy cane So good so the marshmallow itself is pepperminty and then it has this sugary coating so good one smart point each Marshmallow so grab those just to have for hot cocoa or as a snack and remember I hauled this last week So I've tried them both. I like them both, but I have to say that the peppermint mocha is my favorite It is so good you guys and it is zero calories zero points. I like it much better than the gingerbread I do like the gingerbread, but peppermint mocha stole my heart So I picked up another box just because it's seasonal and I wanted to have it on hand Also on Christmas Eve. I'm going to be making a little smoky So I grabbed two hickory smoked barbecue sauces to put in with my little smokies I also wanted some more yogurt. So of course I picked up my favorite, which is the ciggies These were 89 cents because they expire in a couple days.  So this is the mixed berry acai and then down there is also a blueberry Wheat bran for a recipe. It actually called for oak bran, but they didn't have it So I'm subbing wheat bran and I hope that that is a good substitution.  I'm making sloppy joes this next week and these were the lowest Calories smart point buns in my store. So I went ahead and picked those up for sloppy joes And then everything else I have is produce. So I have a green pepper and that's for those Waikiki meatballs raspberries were $1.50 a pack or two for three So I picked up three packs and I also grabbed cuties, which will be my other fruit for the week and Bananas I need for breakfast meal prep, but whatever's left over for snacking Granny Smith apples.  So for a recipe.  These are Yukon gold Which are usually pricey this whole bag was $3.99. So pick those up for Christmas So that's everything for Christmas and the upcoming week. So let's jump right into meal plan and meal prep So let's go ahead and move into this week's meal plan and what I'm doing for meal prep as usual This is my Keriel meal planner my one with the new cover is on its way So you'll be seeing that in the near future. I just want to finish out this one first But they came out with some beautiful new covers for 2020 So I'm gonna give you guys some information on Keriel at the end, but again, this is my planner Mine is the eight and a half by 11.  There's the inventory section Which allows you to inventory your freezer your pantry and also you can inventory your spices So it's a nice way to keep track of what you have on hand in the expiration date Meal plans will come back to that gathering. So this comes in very handy this time of year I was actually jotting down a few things for Christmas. So this is actually where you can plan your gathering So you'll write in the event plan all of your meals You can even plan the supplies that you need the drinks the things you need for all the kids And then there is a detachable grocery list as well for you to take to the store So again, this is the ideal time for the gatherings tab of the meal planner And then there is also a notes tab where you can just again take some notes And in the back is a cute little two-sided pocket folder for you to put in some Some of your favorite little treasures to keep on hand. So let's go ahead and go back and revisit the yellow meal plans tab So in the meal plans tab, there's actually a calendar where you can plan your meals for an entire month Now you could do breakfast lunch dinner snacks, whatever you need to do I just usually plan dinner and what I do is just jot down the recipe that I'm making That way the night before I can pull my meat out of the freezer And I can also make sure that I have all of the ingredients that I'm going to need on hand each week There is also a weekly menu and again, you can plan all of your meals I just again do my dinners only because that's what I have to plan because I do meal prep breakfast lunch And snacks so I'm going to write down the date and exactly what I'm planning to have for dinner each night And then I have again a detachable grocery list that I take to the grocery store And I use my grocery list every single week So it's always missing from my meal planner because I use it every single week when I go to the grocery store So let's jump in to this week's meal plan. So this is the week of 12 21 through 12 27 So it's a little bit different because of the holidays. There's not as many meals on my plan So I go Saturday through Friday for my meal. So today is Saturday the 21st My girls from my old job at Gonzaga University are coming over for a little girls night tonight So we're gonna have some appetizers some wine and just kind of spend some time together Do a quick little gift exchange and then tomorrow night. I'm going to be making cashew chicken with rice So this is a rollover recipe from last week that I didn't get to really excited about this Monday night.

and this now is a normal transaction. So normal transactions are usually in the little plus button. Plus button, we're in the vendor cycle because eventually we're going to purchase the inventory and we're going to go down to the purchase order of the PO on down below. It looks kind of like an expense form or kind of like an invoice type of form and so you would think a financial transaction would happen but no. We're going to say this is Epiphone, I'm just going to type it in here. This is the vendor that we buy our guitars from so we're going to buy them and then sell them. It's open right now by default so obviously it's an open purchase order because we're processing it, we haven't received it. You're going to have to enter the email if you're going to be emailing the purchase order, the purchase order being a form oftentimes that we will be providing to an outside person outside of our company not just a data input form therefore it's a customizable form one you might want to like put your logo on and all that kind of stuff. You got your mailing address which is here we've got your ship too so if you have your ship two options if you were to ship it to someone other than us then you can select the customer so if you're going to ship it directly to the customer you could select the customer which will then change the shipping but we're going to say it's going to come to us it's going to come to our store the purchase order date let's say it's on the 12th I'm going to say January 12th let's say minus notice I'm hitting plus and minus if I'm close to the date and it'll then change the date so I'm using the keyboard to do that anytime you use the keyboard you're more of a geek and that's good typically because it saves time when you're doing geeky things like entering data into the system there's our shipping address which is our default address and so we're not going to put ship via anything here no tags notice that the category field is compressed automatically because I'm not going to put it to the category of anything I'm not going to put it to inventory generically I'm going to use the items that we set up before or add new items as we as we add them giving us the actual units of guitars that we're requesting as well as the dollar amount for the cost of them so I'm just going to add a couple guitars here that we're going to be requesting so if I hit the drop down we already set up all the guitars that's when we set them up in our products and services now we might have sometimes that we add them on the fly or as we go as they say but we're going to add some that we already have so we're going to purchase an ELP because this is our main vendor and we're imagining that we do them do business with them often we already have our deals set up between the two of us and so there's the rate that we set up when we added this to our our products I'm going to say we're buying 20 of these and the rate is 400 the system knows that because I already set up the item if I hadn't set up the item I would then set up the item and put the rate the amount is going to be 8 000 notice I have a customer field and you might say why in the world would I have a customer field over here when I'm buying something from the vendor I'm the one that's buying here the customer is the one that I sell to the reason we have a customer field is because I might be in a situation and we will do this later where I purchase specifically for a particular customer and if that's the case the vendor doesn't need to know about that customer that I'm purchasing for but I would like to track the customer so that when I receive the guitars I know that the next step that I want to do automatically is contact that customer and generate an invoice which is the sales side of the transaction because I now have their guitar so if it was a custom guitar customer came in says I want a guitar and we said great we don't have that on hand I will order it for you custom then I might put the customer here so I can track that in as we go all right then I got an the other one's going to be an EPR that's going to be our epiphone Riviera so we're going to say that we're going to buy five of those at a rate of 440 dependent that's determined by the system so that comes out to 2200 no customer we're going to say that we also are going to buy an e an e p e p s p that's we set up and so there's that one uh hold on what happened here it's an wants to set it up I messed up something it's going to be an e p s p that one that's the one an epiphone standard pro I kind of made these up so these are our guitars but you know they're they're just part of the practice problem here so I got five of those we just put some guitars in place and that's 480 so 2400 the the rate this is the cost by the way not what we're going to sell them for obviously we're going to mark them up and sell them which again is determined by the item already set up in the past we will set up new items as we make more purchase orders and invoices and whatnot in the future okay so that comes out to a total I already got one more let's do one more line here this is going to be an e p s p an e p s p wait I already did that so that's going to be an epiphone let's make this one I'm going to make this one an e p s h e p s h and then so that I bought and how many I bought four of those at 320 okay let's do that and then I bought the e p s p epiphone standard pro five of those 480 and that comes out to 2400 so the total here is 13 880 so note that we would think then we're going okay there's a total down here this looks like a financial transaction is happening I would think there'd be something happening to the balance sheet in the income statement there is not because this is just uh this is just a request nothing's actually happened yet but I can use this purchase order to then populate a bill notice I can add lines I can clear lines I can put a message here if I want to on the purchase order I can put an internal memo I can add attachments if I want to down here I can cancel I can clear the whole thing we can print it uh and we can make it reoccurring let's look at the preview right now by going to the print that gives us a preview so this is what it would look like when we provide it to the uh the vendor there's there's my little test item with the memo and so there it is I'm gonna close this back out and then we're going to and then you could have more options copy delete and uh audit audit the history then we have the options of save new if we want to make another one save and send it if we're gonna email it I'm gonna save and close it for the purpose of the practice problem okay so no impact on the financial statements from that
