the honorable member. as you have said, mr. speaker, applications should be made by half past 10:00 in the morning. obviously i did not meet such application but staing order 24, subsection 4, does allow you, mr. speaker, to consider an application if the urgency is not so known at 10:30. notice can be given soon thereafter as is practical. my suggestion is the right honorable member decided that doing a stunt was more important than allowing scottishembers proper debate on this subject. >> i'm very grateful to the right honorable gentleman. i say that with sincerity. and the right honorable gentleman is an accomplished lawyer. i think he's an accomplished fellow. what i say to the right honorable gentleman is nice try. but i'm afraid it doesn't work, and the reason why his argument or his thesis if i may dignify it at that doesn't quite work is that the matter in question, which was arguably urgent or even constituting an emergency, was the need for a debate on convention, adherence to or violation or non

honorable t gentleman. it's not the honorable member, murray. members must take responsibility for their own actions. there will be either an urgent question on the honorable which the gentleman was just treated or an o 24 application on another ay, is a matter for another day. will come -- i'll take the honorable member for schett land first and then the shadow leader house, mr.alster carmichael. >> point of order from the member for money. as you have said, mr. speaker, should not be made -- [inaudible] make such i did not anpplication but subsection four does allow you, mr. speaker, to consider an pplication if the urgency is not known -- notice can be given is oon thereafter as practicable. my suggestion to you, mr. speaker, is that the urgency point at which the honorable member decided that of a stunt wasore scottish than allowing members a proper debate on this subject. >> i'm very grateful to the gentleman. say that, with sincerity. an the gentisleman accomplished and decks truss lawyer. he's say to him, i think an accomplished fellow. h

can i say to my honorable friend. i'm happy to be clear about this situation and we've have those concerns raised. what i agreed to yesterday. we would have further discussions with colleagues over those concerns we will bring forward an amendment. in a number of things that will guide our approach in doing so. about the separatiof pows and the different roles between the government and parliament. he cannot be tied up by parliament. in parliament then we need that support to be able to implement that policy. but the other aspect of this that i'm absolutely clear on is that i cannot count on them being able to overturn the well of the british people. they gave the decision to the british people. they voted. thank you. fifteen months ago. the report reported in the planned expansion. in my constituency. it represents huge economic benefits now on those three areas as well as a significant amount of infrastructure. no other prime minister urge them to start is aiming to go on. can i say to my right honorable friend. he

i agree with my honorable friend. it is important that all children have the opportunity to go as far as they will take them. as we had been doing. and helping them to get into the workplace is the most important thing we can do and that is why thanks to this government and academic staff. we've another record high. d unemployment and a 40 year low. we see 1 million fewer people and absolute poverty since 2010. i too attended the service last sunday in memory of those that died and i would like to put on record my thinks to the cathedral and all of the work that they put into that. and thinking all of our emergency services all year round. i was able to give that and get back in person. last month mister speaker the brexit secretary promise and i quote a detailed ambitious imprecise white paper on the negotiating position. i would also echo that service. i think everybody crosses house recreation -- recognizes that. and were thankful for the dedication that they show. we agree that we want to publish a white paper tha

i think the right honorable lady. point of order. >> could you confirm that, if someone is named, as happened today, they have to leave the house for the remainder of the parliamentary business and i believe also give up pay for the , but certainly they cannot vote in any proceeding which ppens in the day. asked to application of what the leader of the parliament and the snp did, aside from pull a stunt , wants to make it easier for the government to get to business. she will understand when i say this to the right honorable lady, all she needs to know and all the house needs to know is that the honorable gentleman is out for the day and you -- [laughter] you cannot be half in or have out. you don't come in and out. we are not talki about the customs union. [applause] the member isat oufor the day, he cannot speak today and he cannot vote today. i think the position has now been made crystal-clear. is right honorable gentleman on his feet. a tear from the fellow. let's hear theellow. >> i wondered if you were aware of

>> can i say to the right honorable gentleman ssa monday my right honorable gentleman the chance will set up for funding package. it will go out properly. he will set out properly before, properly, before defending review. but an interested the right honorable gentleman has ducking from the labour party thinks it will be money come back from the european union. i have to say i think it would be one circumstance in which there will be no money coming back to european union. that is if we adopted labour's policy of adopt a deal at whatever the price. >> jeremy corbyn. >> mr. speaker, at the weekend the prime minister said that would be about 600 billion a week more, more being spent on the nhs in cash. that will be through the brexit dividends. well, on net contribution, on that contribution to the european union is about 8.5 billion a year. 600 million a week is over 30 billion a year. mr. speaker, her figures are so dodgy they belong on the side of a bus. [laughing] [shouting] we expect -- we expected that, we do expect that from the foreign secretary, but why is the prime minister pu

the honorable member. the honorable member is advising his clients to diss invest in britain. in the real world. andrew who works there. wrote to me and said i wouldn't laugh if i was you. it's real people with real jobs and real concerns any rates. i've seen nothing that gives me confidence that the government is going to deliver a trade agreement my job along with many others hang on this. will the prime minister ignore her foreign secretary and listen to workers. we are putting jobs at the heart of what we do. when we deliver brexit we are delivering a brexit that is good for our economy and our jobs. but the right honorable gentlemen i think it through through most of his career has actually been rather brexit teared himself. why is it that when we have every face. the produce of joe this country. when he goes on to say i will hold the prime minister and their party there. if they end up being under threat. the cabinet is sticking to two apparently. the preferred options with the customs partnership we find out official trade back on that working party. soak in the leader

the honorable member first. orderre is a point of from the honorable member. we did not make such an notice can bed given. theuggestion to you is that honorable member decided that pulling a stunt was more important on this subject. to the very grateful gentleman because he is an accomplished and dexterous lawyer. is that it is a nice and it doesn't quite work and there is the matter in andtion that was urgent itre is the adherence with matter. was the urgent i don't blame the right gentlemanand learned and i'm afraid it doesn't work on this occasion with that and itsmile on his face suggests to me that he knows that he was being a cheeky guy. i will take the remaining points of order. >> thank you. this information circulating around the debate on the amendment? initially, it was under pressure, but the honorable goder made a point and and could we see to the clarifications on the extra his? to debate i don't want to attempt to put a construction on motivations not prepared and i can say, without fear or contradiction because it is true and demonstrably true

well, i have to say to my honorable and right honorable friends, i chose not to listen to that. we're not putting 2.2% growth in. we're putting 3.4% growth in. >> mr. speaker, under labor the nhs increase would have been 5% this year, and the ifs confirmed that in this year, in this year there would be 7.7 billion more for the nhs. and what's her offer? a promise of 394 million pounds per week without saying where any of it is coming from apart from these mysterious phantom taxes that the chancellor is presumably dreaming up as of this very moment. but mr. speaker, there is a human element to all the issues surrounding the national health service and public spending. let me give you an example. virginia wrote to me last week, and she says -- she says my diabetic daughter has fallen down on four occasions in the last month. she now has both legs in plaster and has been told there isn't enough money for the nhs to give her a wheelchair. mr. speaker, the ifs studies say the nhs needs 3.3% just to maintain current provision which i remind her are at crisis levels. does she think sta

>> can i stay to my honorable friend -- say to my honorable friend, he's right to stand up and speak on behalf of his constituents and his interests, but can i also say to him that as i made clear when i made the announcement about the nhs funding, it will be for other departments budgets to be considered and they'll all be considered in the spending review. >> mr. speaker, everyone knows, everyone knows that back country brewers brew the best beer in britain. holden's have been bottling beer continuously for 75 years, even through the war, but they had to cease production this week due to the european co2 shortage. what can the government do so we can all enjoy a beer during the world cup. >> can i say to the honorable gentleman, this is a predominantly commercial matter. i'm aware of the reports of shortages across europe, and i know the industry is working on a solution. the government is in regular contact with the uk producer, distribution, and consuming companies and trade associations including those within the food and drink sector. but he's raised his point well, and i'm sur

i think the right honorable lady. point of order. >> could you confirm that if , they have toed leave the house for the remainder of the parliamentary payness, and they give up -- but certainly they cannot vote in any proceedings, which happened in the day. of whate implication the leader and the s&p did today, was to make it easier for the government to get his business. >> what i can say to the right honorable lady, i think all she and all the house needs to know is that the right honorable gentleman is out for the day. in and halfhalf out. you are either out of this place -- you can't come in and out. we're not talking about the customs union. the fact is that the member is out for the day. he cannot speak today and he cannot vote today. i think the position has now been made crystal clear. the right honorable gentleman is on his feet. let's hear the fellow. >> i just wondered whether you were aware of a piece of paper which came into my possession just before the start of , points of order. it has eight of them wr

>> no, your honor. i don't believe it could. because the connection --. >> i think your adversary says they can because it is a political issue this way. >> that's correct. >> that's where you say they can't. even though that's on the ballot. >> a fiscal issue? i think the connection would be too attenuated. then you could extrapolate it forever. >> do you think a reasonable observer would think it is too attenuated? >> yes, i do think a reasonable observer would not see generalized political apparel as an influencing toward something on the ballot. that's the problem with this statute. it speaks to silence so much peaceful, conventional messaging by the blunt means of outliing everything. >> do they have a statute that covers one thing that is in this case, not hypothetical, and it doesn't have to do with the issue on the ballot, but which was i.d. me, challenged and then you chose not to pursue that. what is your position on that? could a legitimate challenge stop you from having the "please i.d. me"

>> honorable prime minister. >> mr. speaker, i had a meeting with the president on friday afternoon at which we had a constructive conversation on a broad range of issues. we've continued to impress upon how important it is to modernize and improve nafta. we will continue to engage on a broad range of issues where canada is standing firm. where the united states is looking for concessions. we're going to continue to work and demonstrate that no, we will not accept a sunset clause in nafta. >> i'm going to take that as a yes. unfortunately, mr. speaker, without the prime minister indicating to the canadian people whether or not this was removed from the table, we have to understand that the answer is yes. a protracted trade war with respect -- >> answer the question. >> -- has a significant impact on canadian families. a cpany in milton, ontario. >> i can't hear. >> order. the honorable member from milton has the floor >> a protracted trade war will have a significant impact on canadian families. a company, whirlpool, ha

>> no, your honor. this court decided a very similar case, in the kasey decision, from pennsylvania. pennsylvania imposed that requirement in the context of an informed consent discussion. informed consent is triggered by a doctor proposing to perform a particular medical intervention. medical interventions are surgeries, sborgs a medical intervention -- abortions are a medical intervention. and in that case medical interventions require discussion of the benefit of the procedure, the risk of the procedure. >> but why isn't this also informed consent? so that the patient will know what the array of services available to her. >> your honor, the services provided by our license centers are not medical interventions. perhaps the best explanation is a planned parenthood center in pennsylvania did pregnancy tests and ultrasounds but did not perform abortions, requiring that planned parenthood center, they talked about abortion, encouraged abortion, that would be unconstitutional to compel them to give this d

as my honorable friend has said it is right and this is the point of the review that my honorable friend said to make sure ensuring where they are considered they are going to be safe for the patient but that is hopefully not a long drawn out process or else it can be deeply distressing. we agree with that but on the security cooperation there seemed to be very years and the best possible cooperation between the uk and the rest of europe and in the editorial today says that this is a boom to terrorists. will the prime minister make it clear this kind of approach is wrong and it appears they won't make it harder but easier for those that want to cause damage across europe. >> i would say to the right honorable gentleman is an important part of the deal that we negotiated and i set out our intentions in that security partnership at the munich security conference and i recognized the importance of the instruments we have been able to use within the european union to work across the border to northern ireland to ensure a day are brought to justice or they are apprehended for doing so. it is

>> honorable minister. >> mr. speaker, i want to thank the member for the unwavering support to ukraine. strong security is critical to canada's competitiveness, economic stability, and long-term prosperity. today i announced our new , national cyber security strategy with creation of the canadian center for cyber security as a key element. the new center will provide businesses with a trusted source for advice and build on canada's already world-class cyber security expertise. thank you, mr. speaker. >> the honorable member for durham. ago, canada established airport codes for each country. unfortunately due to international pressure from china, some companie including eptefrina, have the use of these coded are identifying taiwan as china. will the liberals respect the integrity of ikao and make that a pillar of their bid for the you and security -- u.n. security council seat? [applause] >> honorable minister of transport. >> mr. speaker, we are very proud that it's located here in canada and has been since 1949.

messenger: yes, your honor. with respect to the first two instances, the student association or student fees and the bar association fees, those cases are distinguishable for reasons stated in harris. they're justified by different interests. the state bar associations are justified by the state's compelling government interest in regulating the practice of law before its courts. the student association fees are justified by the government's or what -- a university's compelling interest in setting up a viewpoint-neutral forum for speech. and then, with respect to the private sector cases, they hinge on a question of state action. so, in this case, only public sector union fees are being challenged. in the private sector, you'd have a question of whether state action applied, and, therefore, the rule of janus would apply to that case. justice sotomayor: i'm sorry, i thought that we had always recognized that the government as an employer had a compelling interest in regulating its employment decisions. we permit

the american hero we honor today came from a farm near albany kentucky. merle was one of 11 children. he grew up during the great depression and dropped out of school after the eighth grade to help provide for his family, a wonderful family, but they weren't rolling in cash; right? but they were wonderful. in march of 1941, merle enlisted in the army and joined the third infantry division. for 28 months straight he fought on the front lines in 10 campaigns. he was wounded seven times, but he couldn't stop. he loved it and he loved our country. on the shores of sicily the beaches of angio and the snow covered mountains of france he fought with everything he had to defeat the nazi menace. in january of 1945 the final days of the battle of the bulge, well known fight -- general, that was a tough one; right? i know you weren't there, but that was -- i hope you weren't there. kelley was there. but that was a rough one. they study that one. the u.s. third infantry addition was engaged in northern france. at the time lieutenant conner was in a field hospital bei

>> can i assure my right honorable friend. we're, woulding at establishing ourselves as members of the wto becoming that independent member. >> does the prime ministe agree with me that never since the war has the rules-based international system been more at risk, following the g7 summit and president trump's behavior and his tweet done after he left on air force one. how does she think that we could shore up the rules based system. all of us in history know what the consequences of its collapse may be. >> referring to the rules-based international order. of course this can be looked at in a variety of ways. if you look at forms we have been having on chemical weapons. there's no doubt a strength for restoring international law and rules-based order is maintained. as we say within the communique, we recognize in areas like trade, on the world trade organization, it does need reform, the dispute mechanisms are very slow and it's a body that needs, we know where we need to work to ensure it's make r providing frame works not ju

messenger: yes, your honor. the court doesn't need to reach whether or not labor peace into that -- such interests are compelling because agency fees are not a least restrictive means to satisfy any labor peace interest the government may have in listening to one union. so the labor peace interest, as this court has explained in abood, is the government's interest in listening only to one union so it doesn't have to listen to multiple unions. justice sotomayor: well, there's another way of doing student fees. you can have students who don't pay not participate in any student activity because the price of -- of being permitted to participate. you can have bar associations that the state runs. you can have alternatives of all kinds, but the question is, is the alternative that the state has chosen one that is well-fitted to the -- to its need? is it well-tailored, narrowly tailored? i don't see how you can do that given the interests of the government in ensuring that unions represent everybody. mr. messenger: wel

>> thank you my honorable friend. we have been already raised with european partners when the council in june should look not just to the question of the sanctions in relation to the crimea and the agreements but also whether we should look forward indeed there are some issues that have risen in relation to crimea where i think we should be looking to whether future sanctions. >> even the biggest and boldest trade deal with the u.s. would have only between 0.1 and 0.3 percent -- to our economy. have these figures been revisited since the g-7 and the imposition of tariffs? how far now does the government believe a free trade deal with the u.s. would go towards offsetting the between 2 percent and 8 percent loss associated with any of the likely relationships we might have with the eu in the future? >> can i say to the right honorable gentleman if we are intending to negotiating -- started talking and negotiatie ing about a trade deal with the eu which is good for the u.k. and also good for the the european union. it's

thank you, your honor. so i really would like to get back to the public context in which the hava provisions were enacted. because i think that public context is quite powerful. on the one hand, you had states from 1994 all the way up to the hava amendment debating the department of justice whether the processes just like ohio's were permissible. on the other hand, you had nobody. there was nobody who made the argument that b could somehow be read to actually make b inoperative. under our view, a clarification in hava was designed to address the long standing debate that started even before -- before the statute became effective states were suggesting that they should engage in t purchase of like ohio's all the way to the final report where south dakota suggested clarifying the nvra in a way that's quite helpful to the states here. and hava was passed and it had two provisions. it had the clarifying amendment on the one hand and then the related provision dealing with state-wide maintenance, which is effect

may: i thank my honorable friend. we have already been raised with european partners whether the european council in june should look not just to the question of sanctions in relation to the crimea and the minsk agreements, but also whether we should look rther. indeed, some issues have arisen in relation to crimea where i think we should be looking for as to whether sanctions are required. speaker, the government impact assessment confirmed that even the biggest and boldest trade deal with the u.s. would add only between 0.1nd 0.3 gpa to our economy. have these figures been revisited since the g7 and imposition of tariffs? and how far now, does the government believe a free trade deal with the u.s. would go towards offsetting the between revenue thats of with the eu in the future? prime min. may: if we are intending to negotiate, we already are negotiating about the trade deal with the european union, which is good for us here in the u.k., i think it will also be good for the european union. it is in addition to bein

the right honorable gentleman can resume his seat. i'll take advice, but i don't think i'm obliged to hear that at this time. what i'd say to the right honorable gentleman is, i think the standing order requires that the matter be put, if it is to be put forthwith -- order, order -- it might be for the convenience of the house, for the matter to be addressed at the conclusion of prime minier's questions. and if the right honorable gentleman had not signalled h intention to me to do this now -- order, order! i'm always grateful for the moral support from the member of from brox bury from a sedentary position, i realize it's done from my benefit, but i think i can handle the matter. we could have the vote now -- order -- we could have a vote now, or it could be taken at the end. if the honorable gentleman wishes to indicate a desire to conduct such a vote now, so be it. >> i beg to move. i beg to move. >> well, my advice, i've had a mixed sequence of advice is that -- order, order! my view is that it's better for the vote to be conduct

yarger: it is, your honor. i haven't -- i don't -- that would be a question about whether there is a even-handed, genuine policy applied by the baker that doesn't have to do with the identity of the customer. and if it has to do with a message that is apart from the identity of the customer, then he can refuse that. otherwise, you'd have a circumstance in which he would paint a picture of a couple but couldn't change the skin tone of the couple that's pictured on the cake. that would be discrimination. and there wouldn't be any first amendment problem with enforcing our law against that. justice gorsuch: i have a quick question about the remedy. as i understand it, colorado ordered mr. phillips to provide comprehensive training to his staff, and it didn't order him to attend a class of the government's own creation or anything like thbuto provide comprehensive staff training. why isn't that compelled speech and possibly in violation of his free-exercise rights? because presumably he has to tell his staff, inclu

i could have only dreamt of such an honor. three years ago, i accepted a job offer to teach english in the gulf corporation council. this was after returning home from norway where i received a master's degree. the students fought to live there. when i arrived to the council, there wasn't a job teaching english. i was trafficked into slavery as a domestic walker. i didn't do anything, but sexual abuses. when i sat up, i wanted to go home, they told me i had the debt of $3,000 u.s. dollars, which i had to pay, and then pay my flight back home. this was a lie. however, i considered selling a kidney to pay the $3,000 u.s. dollars and get out. i was in such a desperate situation -- some were never heard from again. all of the women i met on my way to the corporation states, council had been promised jobs with higher pay than we could have ever received in our home country. no one had received a job. all of what was left of homes so we could find a way to support our families. in many cases, we were the hope of our families. one wh

these honors include an honor detail which presents an american flag to the family of the deceased and a bugler who ceremoniously plays taps and puts a lump in everyone's throat and a tear in our eyes. unfortunately, an army audit found that in 2014, 88 deserving veteran funerals did not receive those military honors as they should have. one service without deserved honors is one too many. even more disappointing, we learned that the national guard bureau now has a plan to eliminate military funeral honors coordinating position in eight states based upon a recommendation from that audit. the national guard bureau is claiming marginal cost savings as the excuse to eliminate these coordinator positions. however, cost savings is an unacceptable justification, especially if losing these positions leads to more service members not receiving military honors as our final demonstration of response for their service. a coordinator position is a vital link between the military and the veteran's surviving family. their primary responsibility is to determine the eligibility and appropriate honors
