| Message | We're not really sure how to vote on this. While we would be opposed to people having to carry there ID with them all the time to be checked for no reason, we do like the idea of an all purpose (as in driver's licence, medical card etc.) card being given to everyone. |
| Date | 10:28:28, January 28, 2008 CET | From | Normand Pluralist Party | To | Debating the CP.0012.2522 Identity Card Bill |
| Message | We can certainly see both sides of this issue. We are tentatively voting against, as we don't see an immediate need for this, or are being willfully ignorant. |
