| Date | 04:23:43, January 26, 2008 CET | From |  Centre Démocratique | To | Debating the PCR 001 |
| Message | We support Articles 1, 7, and 8. We do not support Articles 2, 3, 5, 6, and 10. And we are conflicted about Article 4. So, it seems like we may have to abstain on this bill. In addition, we welcome the newly formed Parti Conservateur Républicain to our nation and political community. We hope they find an open and tolerant environment in Jelbania to express their views. |
