| Message | Respectfully, This is not a matter that the Populist Party believes the federal government should involve itself in. Local authorities are more familiar with local areas, local people, and local circumstances, and are therefore much more well-equipped to build and maintain shelters and handle disasters. We will not support this legislation, which does nothing more than to increase the size of our already bloated government. Steven Lennox |

| Message | Our government is far from bloated given the sweeping economic reforms undertaken by the Brabantic Freedom Party in their post as Minister of Finance as well as the continued reforms under the current Ministry of Finance. Perhaps Mr. Lennox needs to examine the national budget more closely and then render a judgment on the security of our nation. |
