We still haven’t had the answer of what an incident means or in the context of… Thanks, Mr. Bouchard.

The other thing is that now the Minister is stereotyping the clientele by saying they’re well known by other social agencies. I don’t know what he means, and in all honesty, I mean, we’re just sort of guessing at good faith.

Incident, again I’m saying, was it someone upset? They crumpled up a piece of paper and were mad because they didn’t get the answer they wanted? I mean, what are we talking about? It’s just continue to say as minimum as possible, promise to get back to us, even though we...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Can the Minister clearly articulate how many positions they’ve evaluated for potential layoffs as a recommendation to the next government? This work is going on right now. They have said repeatedly it’s not their hand on the rope, but I can tell you they’re giving the next government the nudge and all the material that they need. So I want to understand the valuation and evaluation that they’ve looked at, at this particular second, that they’re billing department by department by department. No one can dodge that question because it’s the responsibility of this Cabinet...

Is he really saying under the dips we are just filling holes and fixing cracks? Thank you.

I’m just trying to get a sense of how far we’re going to go. I mean, are we talking about a counter that people will have between the two of them? Are we talking about putting them behind a glass wall, that they have to speak through the little vent and slide paper under the window? I’m just curious how far or how big city we’re becoming because one person may have been a little upset, and I’ve yet to find out how upset.

People get passionate. Some would maybe swear, and some define that as aggressive, absolutely. But in the bigger scheme of things, people sometimes get emotional, and you have...

The Finance Minister, in his fiscal update just two days ago, said the revenue is flat and, in essence, by the year ’19-20 he had said that we will be down to what we estimate is a $10 million surplus that will fund things like capital, and of course, it will be the short-term cash deficit.

Can the Minister of Human Resources elaborate as to what this government is doing to ensure that we don’t face that type of financial crash in our cash position, so we must be looking at layoffs, as I’ve heard repeatedly in multiple departments? Can he elaborate as to their strategy and details that they’re...

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I actually took that highway four days ago and I found it challenging to drive faster than 65 over the whole highway. I am just trying to understand how we look at this highway from the context of what are the sections that require rehabilitation that are defined as dips and what are the sections that are defined as maintenance. That whole highway has deteriorated horribly. I have taken it several times this summer and I will tell you it has really deteriorated quite a bit since last fall. I would distinguish, I mean the whole thing needs to be resurfaced. So, why don’t...

Just to be clear, we are talking about the rentals office. How many incidents have happened recently and how many over the last year, just to be clear?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Like my colleagues, I wish to recognize all the Pages, most particularly the Pages from Mildred Hall who are representing us today. Specifically I would like to recognize a constituent. I believe her name is Genzi Zhang. Thank you for your work. I am glad to have all Pages here. It’s a great opportunity for all. Thank you.

Thank you. At present, I know it’s a moving number, the 146 mentioned earlier. Do we have any breakdown of what that actually is? Single people? Single parents with children? Dual parents without kids, with kids? How many are seniors? Especially certainly the last one by all means, but those types of statistics and breakdown to the numbers. Thank you.

Was it predicated on an incident or changing a standard in work environment? Was it a union initiative? Was it brought to the department because of some type of concern? Thank you.
