ALLAN MACMASTER: Mr. Speaker, I'm sure there have been lots of phone calls happening, especially yesterday, that triggered the councillors to do that.
The member for Cape Breton-Richmond said it was an honest mistake. If there is anything this scandal, and the way this government has been dealing with it, has been short of, it's honesty. The money belongs to the taxpayers of Richmond County.

HON. STERLING BELLIVEAU: Mr. Speaker, Halloween is only a few days away. Recently, rare scary clown sightings have been witnessed right across Nova Scotia. I, myself, only have to look across this aisle. Last week, this Liberal Government announced . . .
MR. SPEAKER: Order, please. I'd like to remind the honourable member we are bordering on unparliamentary comments there, when referencing . . .
MR. BELLIVEAU: I like to live on the edge, Mr. Speaker.

MR. ALLAN MACMASTER: Mr. Speaker, on a point of privilege, I heard the member for Cape Breton-Richmond threaten me during Question Period by hollering - and it's almost amusing to me as well - "You say that out there", referring to outside the Chamber, and "You post that to the taxpayers for Richmond County" - I presume he's referring to the Facebook site.

HON. STERLING BELLIVEAU: Mr. Speaker, the American election is only a week away. Many Nova Scotians have been following the presidential race south of the border. For anyone who has watched the debates, it is clear that Donald Trump has a very loose relationship with the truth. PolitiFact has been fact-checking his claims and ruling them as truth, false, or pants-on-fire.

TIMOTHY HOUSTON: Mr. Speaker, I will take the minister up on that and sit down and talk about some of these recommendations and where we're going. I would say today that back in the Fall of 2013, while campaigning, the Premier filled out a survey from the Pictou County Injured Workers Association and the Premier ticked off "yes" to all their statements. One of the statements was a statement that the low level of benefits to workers needs to be addressed. So clearly, while on the campaign trail, the Premier thought we should address the low level of benefits to injured workers.

THE PREMIER [STEVEN MCNEIL]: Mr. Speaker, again, I want to thank the honourable member for the question. The Liberal Party is not under investigation. As much as he wants to continue to repeat falsehoods, there is nothing associated with the Liberal Party.

MR. SPEAKER: I'd like to remind the honourable Premier that the term "falsehoods" is unparliamentary.

MR. MACLEOD: My goodness, it is so refreshing to see that the member for Victoria-The Lakes has finally found her voice; Halloween has worked for her. This is more serious than her worrying about my heart because at least I have one. (Interruptions)
MR. SPEAKER: Order, please. I'll ask the honourable member for Sydney- Whitney Pier to retract that.
MR. MACLEOD: You have to remember, sir - if somebody wants to play that game, I'll play it back with them. I want to talk about doctors . . .

MR. TIM HOUSTON: Mr. Speaker, I beg leave to table a petition that calls on the government to twin a certain stretch of highway and, specifically, to come up with a plan to do that over five years. The petition reads:
