Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News.
Tai-Ex opening
The Tai-Ex opened up 247-points this morning from yesterday's close, at
34,020 on turnover of 14-billion N-T.
The market closed higher on Monday, as the market reopened following its
11-day Lunar New Year holiday, but the gains were capped amid concerns over
U-S tariff policies.
Opposition calls for talks on format of Lai's legislative report
Opposition parties are calling for cross-party negotiations over how
President Lai Ching-te should deliver a national affairs report at the
Legislative Yuan.
The statement comes after Lai announced that he's willing to deliver (發表) a
national affairs report at the Legislative Yuan "in accordance with
constitutional procedures" following a meeting with the heads of the five
branches of government at the Presidential Building.
K-M-T and Taiwan People's Party lawmakers are seeking a question-and-answer
format.
Legislative Speaker Han Kuo-yu proposed a questions-first-answers-second
format after Lai hosted the meeting - saying he invited the president to
personally explain issues of concern to lawmakers.
According to Han, Lai "gladly accepted" the invitation.
Lunar New Year ER visits down as more clinics stay open, UCCs expand
The Ministry of Health says visits to emergency rooms over the Lunar New Year
period were down from last year as more clinics stayed open and urgent care
centers expanded capacity.
According to the ministry, data shows there were 232,397 visits to hospital
ERs from February 14 to 21 - and that total was down by 22.5-per cent from
the number of visits reported during the same holiday period of last year.
Visits to the hospital ERs over the holiday period this year were closely
watched after what happened last year - when ERs across Taiwan became so
overcrowded that the Taiwan Society of Emergency Medicine called the
situation "unprecedented (史無前例的)".
The government spent 1.6-billion N-T in funding to encourage medical
providers to stay open during this year's holiday.

ruling.
Kate Fisher report from Washington
Canada Calls OpenAI Reps to Ottawa
The Canadian government has called representatives of ChatGPT-maker OpenAI to
Ottawa.
The company says it considered but did not alert Canadian police about the
activities of a person who months later committed one of the worst school
shootings in the country’s history.
Canada's artificial intelligence minister says he expects the company’s top
safety representatives to explain its protocols and how it decides to forward
cases to law enforcement when he meets with them today.
OpenAI said last June that the company identified the account of Jesse Van
Rootselaar via abuse detection efforts.
The 18-year-old killed eight people in a remote (偏僻的) part of British
Columbia this month and died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
That was the I.C.R.T. EZ News, I'm _____.
