| Message | As Minister of Environment and Tourism, I oppose this legislation. We need to have recycling facilities if we want to decrease the amount of garbage in the country. I also believe that farmers must have the duty to report the chemicals used for the crops so that we can be assured of the quality and safety of the crops. You can decrease the spending for my ministry, but I will not allow you to change laws that could possibly pose a risk to the ecological balance of Aloria and the safety and wellness of the Alorian people. I hope the members would reconsider and think about the future of Aloria rather than ambition and the upcoming elections. Signed, John Michael Suvery Minister of Environment and Tourism |
