| Message | Allowing commercial companies to fish has clearly done damage to our fish stocks. They are being depleted, and nothing short of banning private commercial fishing is going to help. Production levels can be scaled back to an ecologically sustainable amount, as determined by the state owned corporation, Tukarali Fishing Co. The profits from this will go directly back into the government, providing additional funds to manage fish stocks. |

| Message | No, commerical fishing is not damaging our fish stocks as we have fishing quota's... We do not need a government monopoly on fish |

| Random fact: In order for a Cabinet bill to pass, more than half of the legislature must vote for it and all of the parties included in the proposed Cabinet must support it. If your nation has a Head of State who is also the Head of Government, then the party controlling this character must also vote for the bill, since the Head of Government is also a member of the Cabinet. If any of these requirements are not met, the bill will not pass. |
