BARBARA ADAMS: I am not entirely sure what questions their constituency assistants and they get asked by their own constituents, but I thought rather than go on with my planned speech, I would just read what my constituents wanted this government to hear. I do not know if we will ever get any answers to their questions, but this is what my constituents are saying they want this government to answer that they are not sure this budget actually answers.

I am just going to read them as quickly as I can for as many as I can get in the next 10 minutes.

TIM HOUSTON: Mr. Speaker, on a point of order. It's been entertaining to listen to the minister's discussion tonight about facts and integrity and truth, but I do want to go back to something that I asked the minister earlier this evening, to table some documents which we haven't seen. We've heard some references to it.

THE PREMIER: Mr. Speaker, I won't stoop to the level that the member opposite is doing with name-calling in this House, nor will I stoop to the political games with this very serious pandemic.

We need to make sure that we're continuing to listen to Public Health and work with those Nova Scotians who see that our decisions are continuously based on science and evidence and prevent the type of lockdowns in other provinces that we're seeing. They're looking and distancing themselves. We need to make sure that we work with Public Health, and that's what we've been doing.

THE SPEAKER: Thank you. Just before we move on, I want to remind the honourable member that while he was speaking I had time to look up a couple of definitions. Early in his speech he referred to the governing Party, the Liberals, as "new species of invertebrates" and I will rule that unparliamentary. I will leave it to the member and everybody else to take time to look up what that means - but we will be adding that to the unparliamentary list of phrases.
