8:35 – 8:45
COLIN HANSEN, BC FINANCE MINISTER
Re: What does “on their radar” mean? Colin Hansen says it means that while new documents prove that government staffers were discussing the pros and cons of implementing the HST before the 2009 election, politicians were not. But he was whistling a different tune during an exchange within the legislature last November. Did he lie? Will he resign?

8:45 – 9:00
FOCUSED OPENLINE
Re: Do you feel lied to about when bureaucrats and politicians started seriously discussing the HST? Should the Premier and the Finance Minister resign?

GREGOR ROBERTSON, MAYOR OF VANCOUVER
Re: We get the scoop from Gregor on the renovations at City Hall, plummeting City staff morale and his upcoming business trip to China.

9:30 – 10:00
GORD DITCHBURN, PRESIDENT, VANCOUVER FIREFIGHTERS’ UNION
Re: Vancouver firefighters could face up to $4 million dollars in budget cuts next year, which would equate to an entire firehall getting the axe. Are there too many firefighters for the amount of fires in the city? Who would you rather respond first to a medical emergency – a paramedic or a firefighter?

BARBARA HOFER, PSYCHOLOGY PROFESSOR, MIDDLEBURY COLLEGE, CO-AUTHOR, THE i- CONNECTED PARENT
ABIGAIL SULLIVAN MOORE, JOURNALIST & CO- AUTHOR, THE i-CONNECTED PARENT
Re: Are i-phones and i-pads making it harder for parents to let go of their kids when they head off to University? How much is too much communication during the college years?

10:30 – 11:00
IAN TOSTENSEN, PRESIDENT AND CEO, BC RESTAURANT AND FOOD SERVICES ASSOCIATION
Re: He’s been saying it all along. The BC Restaurant and Food Services Association was told there would be NO HST under a Liberal government, and threw their support behind the party. They have been front and centre in the fight against the tax and say they were lied to. What is the next step for them?

11:00 - 11:15
JOE FOY, NATIONAL CAMPAIGN DIRECTOR, WESTERN CANADA WILDERNESS COMMITTEE
Re: When it was just a sapling, Vikings were sailing the Atlantic and the Normans were invading England. And now it appears that the giant Red Creek Fir on Vancouver Island is showing signs of vulnerability to nearby logging. What do environmentalists think should be done to preserve the tree

Re: Tips on how to get your car ready for the back-to-school rush and which 2011 models will wow us?
