Message | The State shouldn't interfere in religoius matters, neither should religion interfere with public matters. The State should be neutral |

Date | 23:18:39, June 15, 2007 CET | From | Centre Démocratique | To | Debating the Religion Reform Act |
Message | We oppose this bill. ARTICLE 1: We should be encouraging interfaith and cross-cultural developments with other religions and nations of the world. ARTICLE 2: We support giving local governments the authority in these matters (and most others too!) ARTICLE 3: Changing this law would allow discrimination within the halls of our government. The government should never tell people what they can or cannot where. We strongly oppose this article. |
