OTTAWA — The Liberal government could be granted a temporary reprieve from a weeks-long parliamentary gridlock thanks to a multibillion-dollar affordability package it needs NDP support to pass. The shrewdly timed measure would slash GST on a number of grocery items and holiday essentials, and would send $250 cheques to millions of eligible Canadians. To get those changes — and that cash — out the door, the Liberals and NDP will need to topple a Conservative-led effort that has ground almost all parliamentary proceedings to a halt. But hopes that such a move might permanently put an end to a privilege debate that has eaten up most of the House of Commons’ fall session could be short-lived, since Jagmeet Singh’s NDP only wants to pause the impasse, not end it. Here’s how the procedural paralysis consuming the lower chamber could be suspended — and what’s at stake for Canadians if it resumes. The stalemate in the Commons began Sept. 26 when House Speaker Greg Fergus allowed Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives to make a motion tied to a now-shuttered green technology funding agency. The Conservatives wanted to hold Justin Trudeau’s Liberals accountable for a failure to properly comply with a previous order to turn over thousands of documents related to Sustainable Development Technology Canada (SDTC). The agency was found earlier this year to have awarded tens of millions of dollars to ineligible projects and violated conflict of interest rules, among other mismanagement issues. Opposition MPs wanted the documents to make their way to the RCMP for further investigation. But the government redacted and withheld some of the information, claiming privacy considerations. The RCMP has previously said that the documents — which now amount to nearly 29,000 pages — may not be able to be used in a criminal investigation because obtaining information through a House order circumvents proper investigative processes. The situation led Fergus to conclude that the matter constituted a “prima facie” breach of privilege, meaning the issue undermined Parliament’s functioning and must immediately become the top priority of the House. That paved the way for the Conservatives to introduce a privilege motion calling on the matter to be referred to a parliamentary committee for further study. They have been running out the clock on that privilege debate ever since in an bid to get the Liberals to cough up the unredacted documents. If the Liberals were hoping their two-month GST vacation would net them a dance partner to permanently end the standoff, they’ll need to think again. The New Democrats back the Conservatives in their push to see the documents fully produced. That didn’t change on Thursday when Trudeau announced the measures, which overlap with Singh’s own affordability pledges, therefore earning the New Democrats’ support. So without consulting the Liberals, the New Democrats drew up a plan to get the package passed — and to swiftly return to the privilege debate once that happens. They propose to adjourn debate on the day the Liberals introduce the legislation, using what they call a “programming” motion to pass the measures in a single day. The NDP says it will agree to an evening sitting if necessary to guarantee the impending bill’s passage. That would mean, in theory, that the measures could be green-lit in one day, and the privilege debate could resume the next. “The House of Commons can do a lot of things procedurally when it chooses to do,” NDP House Leader Peter Julian said Thursday. Does that mean the Liberals are prepared to play along with the NDP’s temporary offer? For now, they won’t say. If a temporary pause is achieved, a resumption of the privilege debate would simply return Parliament to its current inert state. For 30 sitting days — a period of time that has spanned nearly two calendar months — MPs have only been able to partake in that debate, members’ statements, question period, and a few other routine proceedings, which include the introduction of government bills. Everything else, including debating and passing legislation, is stalled. That includes several bills, including the Liberals’ long-delayed online harms legislation aimed at protecting youth from dangerous content, a bill that would ensure First Nations have access to clean drinking water in their communities, and legislation that would modernize Canada’s military justice system. The privilege debate also largely ended supply days, when opposition priorities take precedence over government business. Opposition days dedicated to the NDP and the Conservatives have been unable to proceed thanks to the deadlock. Now, as the session approaches its final weeks, all eyes are on the government’s supplementary estimates, which outline additional government spending, much of which must be approved by Parliament. MPs must green light $26.1 billion in proposed spending, which includes programs for First Nations and Inuit, military procurement projects and disaster response initiatives, the national dental care and school food programs, and aid for Ukraine. Conservative House Leader Andrew Scheer accused the Liberals this week of “choosing to keep Parliament paralyzed,” while his Liberal counterpart Karina Gould accused the Conservatives of making a “mockery” of the lower chamber. Whether these procedural and political ploys are actually serving Canada’s democracy depends on where you stand, said Jonathan Malloy, a professor of political science at Carleton University. “If you mean in terms of the business of public policy, then no,” Malloy said. “But ... this is democracy in action, that we have a government that is withholding some information for its own reasons, and we have an opposition that is determined to make them change their minds.”

Providence, Oklahoma hope key players are back in BahamasTORONTO — When Geoffrey Hinton strode across the Stockholm Concert Hall stage Tuesday to receive his Nobel Prize for physics from King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden, he was beaming. It has taken decades for many beyond the science community to realize the British Canadian computer scientist's life's work was so significant it eventually formed the foundation of artificial intelligence. But on Tuesday, as he accepted the Nobel diploma and its accompanying gold medal with co-laureate John Hopfield, there was no question about the importance of Hinton's discoveries nor how he has shaped history. Instead, there was only pride for the affable 77-year-old, often called the godfather of AI — and that pride stretched from Stockholm to Toronto. A crowd of about 100 students and colleagues at the University of Toronto, where Hinton is a professor emeritus, gathered at the school's downtown campus to watch the Nobel ceremony. Two other watch parties took over the school's Mississauga and Scarborough campuses. Any mention of physics or a sighting of Hinton, clad in a dark suit and white bow tie, generated rousing applause at the Toronto gathering. When the man of the hour headed to retrieve his accolade from the King, a few former students and colleagues wiped tears from their eyes. "There is, at least for me, this sense that Prof. Hinton created the whole ecosystem here, where there are thousands of people who are working on his ideas," Michael Guerzhoy, one of Hinton's former students who went on to teach a course Hinton had once led at the university, said before the ceremony began. The idea that earned Hinton the Nobel dates back to the 1980s, when he was working at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh and AI was far from the buzzy technology it is today. It was then that Hinton developed the Boltzmann machine, which learns from examples, rather than instructions, and when trained, can recognize familiar characteristics in information, even if it has not seen that data before. "It was a lot of fun doing the research but it was slightly annoying that many people — in fact, most people in the field of AI — said that neural networks would never work," Hinton recalled during a press conference on the October day he was named as a Nobel laureate. "They were very confident that these things were just a waste of time and we would never be able to learn complicated things like, for example, understanding natural language using neural networks — and they were wrong." Neural networks are computational models that resemble the human brain's structure and functions. When Nobel physics committee chair Ellen Moons presented Hinton to receive his award, she said these networks are good at sorting and interpreting large amounts of data and self-improve based on the accuracy of the results they generate. "Today, artificial neural networks are powerful tools in research fields spanning physics, chemistry and medicine, as well as in daily life," she said. John DiMarco wasn't surprised that Hinton's work paved the way for such possibilities, but the IT director for U of T's computer science department was taken aback that Hinton's Nobel came in the unlikely physics category. DiMarco met Hinton roughly 35 years ago in a job interview and quickly took note of his proclivity for humour and the quirks in how his mind works. "He is quite insightful and he goes straight to the core of things," DiMarco said. "He would sometimes come out of his office and share some new idea. We didn't always understand what he was sharing, but he was very excited about it." Many of those ideas required lots of computing power the school's systems didn't have, so DiMarco's team patched together a solution with graphics processing units from video game consoles. DiMarco brought one of Hinton's GPUs to the watch party, which was also attended by Joseph Jay Williams, the director of U of T's Intelligent Adaptive Interventions Lab. Williams took one of Hinton's classes and said the Nobel winner "changed the course of my life" by encouraging him to go to grad school, which then led him to win the XPRIZE Digital Learning Challenge, a global competition aimed at rewarding people who modernize learning tools and processes. Other notable mentees and alumni of Hinton's classes include OpenAI co-founder Ilya Sutskever and Cohere co-founders Nick Frosst and Aidan Gomez. With his Nobel win and so many esteemed protege, Williams said Hinton has become a "reluctant celebrity" who is hounded for photos every time he's on campus. Hinton, however, has taken a much more humble approach to his recent win, which he learned of on a trip to California. He initially thought the call from the academy that gives out the Nobel was "a spoof," but later realized it had to be real because it was placed from Sweden and the speaker had a "strong Swedish accent." The award the academy gave him comes with 11 million Swedish kronor (about $1.4 million) from a bequest arranged by Swedish inventor Alfred Nobel. Hinton and Hopfield will split the money, with some of Hinton's share going to Water First, an Ontario organization working to boost Indigenous access to water, and another unnamed charity supporting neurodiverse young adults. Hinton has said he doesn't plan to do much more "frontier research." "I believe I'm going to spend my time advocating for people to work on safety," he said in October. Last year, Hinton left a role he held at Google to more freely speak about the dangers of AI, which he has said include bias and discrimination, fake news, joblessness, lethal autonomous weapons and even the end of humanity. At a Stockholm press conference over the weekend, he said he doesn’t regret the work he did to lay the foundations of artificial intelligence, but wishes he thought of safety sooner. “In the same circumstances, I would do the same again,” he said.

Startup Mantra: Making affordable diagnostics a realityShare Tweet Share Share Email It’s important to think about how the economy may have changed our lives as the year comes to a close. There was still a lot of talk about inflation, the tough housing market, and big events like federal elections and interest rate drops. These changes have brought both problems and opportunities. Now is a great time to think about things, change your priorities, and start over with your finances so you can grow your wealth in 2025. Get your credit score up and pay off your debts Shirley Mueller, finance expert and founder of VA Loans Texas says: “Some kinds of debt, like school loans or a house, are “good debt,” but you should pay off your credit cards and other high-interest debts first. One of the fastest ways to raise your credit score is to pay down your debts, especially credit card debt. If you have a lot of debt, you might want to think about different ways to pay it off, such as the snowball or landslide method.” Don’t forget to help others when you can Kalim Khan, finance expert and senior partner at Affinity Law shares: “A lot of people give back, and science has shown that it can be good for your health. One of your goals for the new year should be to give back. Giving to charity or volunteering your time, skills, and resources to help your local community are all great ways to keep paying it forward all year long. Ask a family member or friend to help out. Giving back can be a great way to spend time with people you care about.” Pay attention to what you eat When you think about how food, health, and wealth are connected, the saying “you are what you eat” really hits home. Watching what you eat is more than just counting calories; it’s also about giving your body the right nutrients. Not only does a healthy diet improve your physical health, but it also changes the way your brain works, which directly affects your ability to make smart financial choices.Also, cooking meals at home can save you a lot of money on food costs compared to going out a lot. You can save money on healthy, tasty food by planning your meals ahead of time and cooking in bulk. Aim for bonuses Evie Graham, founder of Waste Direct says: “If there is a bonus motivation built into your company, you should talk to your boss about changing your goals and KPIs so that you can get the bonus first. Once these are set, make sure you meet with your boss on a regular basis to make sure you’re on track to meet or beat goals. Ask about project-based bonuses, stock options, and profit-sharing plans. These are all things that are becoming more popular in tech and are spreading to other fields.” Get the most rewards It’s easy to forget about some job perks, but when added up, they can have a big effect on your wealth accumulation. If your health insurance plan meets or exceeds your needs, see if you can donate some of your premiums to a Health Savings Account (HSA). This account has three tax benefits: payments are tax-deductible, growth is tax-deferred, and spending is tax-free. Also, if your workplace offers a 401(k) match, make sure you use it by giving the maximum amount or as close to the maximum amount as you can. More work from home It’s no secret that workers pay more when they work from home. From the cost of getting to and from work to small purchases like coffee and food (even if you bring your own), it’s hard to spend nothing on an in-office day. These little costs add up quickly . It’s much easier to not spend any money at home. If working from home really helps you save money, you could ask to do it full-time or look for a new job that lets you work from home first. If you can, you could even move to a city or town with a cheaper cost of living. Get help from a professional with your money Harrison Tang, founder of Spokeo , tells us: “You could spend your whole life following the advice of online celebrities and books, but nothing beats meeting with a financial advisor one-on-one. You can make a personalized plan, get the most out of your savings and investments, and make sure you’re saving on taxes wherever you can by talking about your life goals. Check to see if financial planning is covered by your insurance, or get some suggestions and quotes for a fee-only meeting. At this appointment, you’ll get personalized, fair help that takes both the short and long-term into account.” Wealth management based on digital tools The pandemic sped up the move towards digital and virtual banking services, and this trend is expected to become more stable in 2025. Clients want digital experiences that are smooth from the time they sign up to the time they handle their accounts. I think that the future of wealth management will depend on being able to provide easy-to-use digital tools that let clients access their financial information, get help, and make deals with little face-to-face contact. Financial companies are likely to put a lot of money into their tech infrastructure, and more of them will start to offer a mixed model where digital self-service is joined with human help when it’s needed. Advisors should learn about the newest financial technology tools to help ease their work and give better customer service. Regular people should also learn about these tools in order to help themselves.
