MR. MCNEIL: Your nose is growing, Premier.

MR. SPEAKER: Order, order please. That is an unparliamentary remark, please, and I would ask the honourable member to stand up and withdraw that remark.

The honourable Leader of the Official Opposition.

MR. MCNEIL: Mr. Speaker, I will withdraw that remark.

MR. SPEAKER: Order, please. That is unparliamentary and out of order, "finally be honest" - yes, it is. Your impunity of the minister, I'd ask the honourable member to rephrase that question, please.

MR. ORRELL: Will the minister finally be straightforward with Nova Scotians and admit they are simply not a priority for this NDP Government?

THE PREMIER: Madam Speaker, the member seeks to distort the truth. The truth is, we paid the commercial rate for our trip

MADAM SPEAKER: Order please. Order. The terminology "seeks to distort" is unparliamentary and I have to ask the Premier to retract that, rephrase it.

THE PREMIER: The 'he seeks to' or the 'distort' part? (Interruption)

Okay, Madam Speaker, the member misrepresents the fact.

HON. CHRISTOPHER D'ENTREMONT: Madam Speaker, yesterday when asked about his mile high adventures with Emera executives (Interruptions)
...

MADAM SPEAKER: Order, please. The use of "mile high" in the Legislature is unparliamentary. It did slip through yesterday, but it will not slip through again. I would ask that the member retract that, please.

MS. MAUREEN MACDONALD: Madam Speaker, the strategy announced today will see every child 18 months of age screened to pick up any delays and any problems and to do early identification. It will see clinicians added into the SchoolsPlus system across this province. It will add additional services throughout the province for addictions programs where they are sorely needed. It will see the support line for families that has been so effective in Cape Breton and in metro Halifax extended to the entire province.
