#Person1#: Now that you have learned Kung fu for a few months, what are your general impression of it?
#Person2#: I think, maybe, it takes a real Kung fu master to give a more fair assessment ; meanwhile, I am no more than a beginner. But I really doubt whether kung fu would be of any great help when it comes to defending oneself in real life.
#Person1#: You mean, kung fu may not be so powerful as it is imagined? To some extent your idea holds water. Kung fu was originally intended for self-defense, but with time it became something more than defense skills. Now we are apt to treat it as an art.
#Person2#: An art! You have a good point there. So it is called martial arts in English. The Chinese are really capable of doing things nicely. They even made fighting a great enjoyment, so marvelous and fascinating.
#Person1#: Thanks for your compliment! Perhaps the Chinese culture as a whole has a special inclination towards aesthetics. Do you know Jin Yong?
#Person2#: I know he is a martial arts fiction writer. But I've read none of his novels.
#Person1#: All of his works have been translated into English. I recommend you to read one or two works of his. You'll get a general glimpse into Chinese kung fu culture. When you go through the pages, you are likely to feel they are not about kung fu alone, but cover all walks of life.
#Person2#: I see. They must have incorporated a series of Chinese cultural elements.
#Person1#: Yes, take philosophy, for instance. What makes a true, respectable da via, or a warrior hero? It's not enough only to be formidable. It also involves a man's character, sense of justice, and values of life.
#Person2#: So kung fu is also a means of self-cultivation, isn't it?
#Person1#: Indeed, you're exactly right! | #Person2# doubts Chinese Kung Fu's power to defend oneself in real life. #Person1# says people now apt to treat it as an art. #Person2# agrees. #Person1# recommends Jin Yong's works to #Person2# and #Person2# understands Kung Fu as a means of self-cultivation as well. |

The Chair: We will now continue with MrBergeron
Mr. Stphane Bergeron: MrChair as the leader of the Bloc Qubcois mentioned a few moments ago the government promised 14billion to Quebec and the provinces but in targeted transfers That is very little compared to the considerable expenses incurred to deal with the current crisis But Quebec and the provinces do not just want this money to be transferred unconditionally they also want a real discussion on a permanent increase in health care transfers PremierLegault was rightly concerned about the feds interference into provincial jurisdictions The federal government which does not manage any hospitals or longterm care centres must stop playing armchair quarterback and transfer the money to the only governments with jurisdiction over health that is Quebec and the provinces Will it do so without delay and without nitpicking ?
The Honourable Patty Hajdu (Minister of Health): MrChair we know that the Government of Quebec is working hard to ensure the safety of Quebeckers and we are here to support them As part of this cooperation we have developed health and safety recommendations for workplaces we have purchased medical equipment for workers and we have supported the province in developing its reopening program We are continuing this important partnership to ensure the safety of Quebeckers and all Canadians
Mr. Stphane Bergeron: The cooperation is so effective that the money is staying in the federal governments coffers In fact when the federal government wants to impose conditions it always takes longer We see it with housing for which Quebec has not received a dime of the 14billion it is owed We have also seen it with infrastructure funds particularly for public transit water systems and water treatment The health crisis is now The needs are now The much needed reopening of our economy is now Will the government finally transfer the money without messing around or quibbling ?
Hon. Pablo Rodriguez: I am pleased to confirm to my colleague that there is no messing around no quibbling nothing of the kind There is cooperation between two levels of government It is natural to have discussions with all the provinces and with Quebec I myself am taking part in some discussions and several of my colleagues are taking part in others There is a clear willingness on the part of the federal government to cooperate with Quebec and all the provinces That is what we are doing and that is perhaps what the Bloc Qubcois does not like It likes bickering but for the time being there is none
Mr. Stphane Bergeron: We do not want to bicker we want the money to be paid out It is not complicated for heavens sake ! We do not want a blank cheque Right now the money remains in the federal governments coffers There is 14billion that should be paid to Quebec for social housing and is sitting in the federal governments coffers We are waiting for money for water treatment and water systems but it is sitting in the federal governments coffers It is almost July We are wasting precious months for construction What is the government waiting for to pay out the money so that we can get our economy rolling ?
Hon. Pablo Rodriguez: The federal government is a very active partner We are discussing and working with Quebec on infrastructure projects We are continuing our discussions and negotiations on the housing agreement Nothing is at a standstill We are discussing and cooperating for the wellbeing of all Quebeckers
Mr. Stphane Bergeron: MadamChair things are definitely at a standstill because the money is owed and has not been paid out Months are going by while construction is not taking place We need to reopen the economy We need more flexibility in the gas tax program and Quebecs contribution to allow municipalities to undertake work on city halls community centres and fire stations We need the federal government to contribute to funding public transit operations which have become a real financial drain because of the drop in ridership What is the federal government waiting for to provide real help instead of just talking ?
Hon. Pablo Rodriguez: When it comes to just talking the Bloc Qubcois has a lot of experience I admit We in the government are working and cooperating We are not waiting with our arms folded we are discussing a series of issues with Quebec We do more than discuss we work and we cooperate We are working on projects not only in infrastructure but in a number of other areas Just think of the cooperation of our armed forces in the CHSLDs for example We are here for Quebeckers | When it comes to the cooperation between two levels of government, Bergeron said that Canadian government once promised to offer $14 million to support Quebec and other provinces to go through the difficulty, but only in targeted transfers. Notwithstanding how promising it seemed, under the current situation, what they needed might be an unconditional transfer, especially towards the medical care system. Under the pressure of the people, the government had to reconsider their cooperation of the armed forces in the CHSLDs, as well as their support for Quebeckers. |

#Person1#: I swear I will never shop at a street market in China. It's a terrible place full of excellent profiteers! You have to keep an eye whenever it comes to paying for something.
#Person2#: cool down, Harry! What are you really mad about? Did you get ripped off?
#Person1#: yes. Last Sunday I went to a nearby market. It was on open-air fair. I chanced upon this bag and bought it on the spot, without even trying to strike a bargain. I paid one hundred and twenty. And just now I was told by my Chinese colleagues I bought it overpriced. I could have talked my way to thirty.
#Person2#: is that so? I'm afraid people here will not take pity on unlucky guys like you. Bargaining has always been an indispensable procedure in business deals. It's the norm of free trade. The seller sets a preposterous price, and the buyer tries his best to bring it down, until a compromise is reached. Yet you ignored the process. No wonder you ended up easy prey.
#Person1#: but don't you think it annoying to overcharge the customers by such a handsome margin?
#Person2#: of course, that's something really irritating. And the only way to avoid being trapped is to know in advance about the real worth of the stuff. I recommend you to consult the price tags in the supermarket first. And then you may negotiate for a fair deal. | Harry tells #Person2# that the bag was overpriced in a street market. #Person2# suggests that Harry should bargain with the seller and consult the price tags in the supermarket first. |
