MR. DARRELL DEXTER: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker. The minister quoted at length from J.S. Woodsworth's book. I know I've certainly had an opportunity to canvass that book but perhaps he would make available the appropriate references and table them so the House can have them.

MR. SPEAKER: Order, please. The honourable Minister of Economic Development.

MR. GRAHAM STEELE: Mr. Speaker, on a point of order. During Question Period today, the Premier, in reply to a question that I raised, denied having said that staff made mistakes. For the sake of completeness, I would like to table Hansard from yesterday where the Premier said, "We saw mistakes made by staff."

MR. SPEAKER: It appears that the member has a point. (Interruptions)

THE PREMIER: A point of personal privilege, Mr. Speaker.

MR. SPEAKER: The honourable Premier.

LISA LACHANCE: I rise on a point of order. Throughout the debate, various members did refer to a previous debate without tabling documents. The members were for Preston, Pictou East, Cole Harbour, and Halifax Atlantic. I would ask that they table that debate.

THE SPEAKER: I'm going to dismiss that point of order. Okay, so the reality is, and I said this a few weeks ago, if it's government - if it's stated in here, if it's government's paperwork, you do not have to table those. If we had a discussion here, it's in Hansard. You can find it.

THE SPEAKER: Before I recognize the minister - I've said this before, but I'll say it again - you do not have to table government documents. I can assure you we have copies of notices of motion.

JOHN LOHR: I'll remind the member: We are doing a $500 million tax cut, which will benefit every Nova Scotian family. In terms of the non-resident deed transfer tax, what I will say is I had an e-mail recently, a couple of days ago, from a young family that said: "Thank you for doing this. We recently lost out bidding against a family from another province who wanted a cottage. We lost that home because we couldn't compete with that. Thank you for doing this."

SUSAN LEBLANC: I want to take this time to recognize all the rabble-rousers and professional protesters and people with special interests - like parents and senior citizens and teachers and doctors - who are outside today to let us know about the special interests that they have. People who are interested in democracy - I know this from the signs that I was reading - freedom of the press, affordable energy, public consultation, labour rights for workers, and climate justice.

SUZY HANSEN: Speaker, I hereby give notice that on a future day I shall move the adoption of the following resolution:

KENDRA COOMBES: ...I'm going to quote someone very famous - a feisty redhead. Her name is Reba McEntire, and my mom used to play her a lot. We were watching this video, and it was called "Is There Life Out There," and there's a break in the video. She's at this university, and the professor said: "Excellent paper - an A - but I could do without the stains," and she said: "I learned more from the stains than I did the paper." You learn more from your mistakes. ...

...

MR. GRAHAM STEELE: : The minister's answer to this - and I sincerely hope the minister was misquoted on this, I sincerely hope he was or that it was taken out of context or something. Here's what the minister says, "I would like to see us ensure that we have a fair process for people to get the information from government . . .

MR. SPEAKER: Order, please.

HON. MURRAY SCOTT: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker. If I remember correctly, it's against the rules to question whether something written in the local paper is correct or not. (Interruption)

MR. MICHEL SAMSON: Mr.
