| Date | 17:45:27, July 18, 2008 CET | From | Coalition for National Unity [CNU] | To | Debating the Endangered Species Protection Act of 2607 |
| Message | "The CMP value the Whaling industry and see it as a valuable asset and contribution to this nation's economy, especially with the large coastline of the Solentian State. We also view the restrictions placed on the keeping of endangered animals as a clear violation of the rights of the Solentian citizens." -Shadow Secretary of State for Trade and Industry: Laurissa Salisbury |
| Date | 18:42:17, July 18, 2008 CET | From | Solentian People Party | To | Debating the Endangered Species Protection Act of 2607 |
| Message | We don't agree with this act as we feel this takes away rights from our citizens not to make choices for themselves but also article one will see huge issues within the industry of whaling and it is right that we leave the current law in place of devolution so local governments and local people can agree on the issue rather than our national government dictating and banning things. Evette Jones, Shadow Envrionment Secretary |
