| Message | ====================================== Question Period ====================================== Le Chef de l'Union Nationale: Why does the Prime Minister and his Government wish to handicap our National Defence and do irreparable damage to our National Security? |
| Date | 23:52:44, February 21, 2009 CET | From | Alliance Socialiste Conservateur | To | Debating the Reforme militaire, 2715 |
| Message | Because there are no threats to our nation to be dealt with, and without an aggressive foreign policy we can maintain a sense of peace and neutrality and not have to rely on a militant agenda. |

| Message | Le Chef de l'Union Nationale: Suplementary. Le Chef de l'Union Nationale: Any Government with any common sense would understand that a Sovereign State needs a military, and one that is supported by a local defence industry. We might not need the bio, chem, and the nukes, but we need the military and we need a local defence industry. The police is just not trained to deal with major emergencies such as a natural disaster, or to keep the peace if a major revolt or coup occurs, or if suddenly there's a hold army/armada full of refugees that sudden show up on our door step. If we remove the military entirely, then the police essentially will fill that void. Then police will become the military, the opposite of what we wish to achieve which is to keep the affairs of the police and the affairs of the military separate. That reality is dangerous and irresponsible. Will the Prime Minister and his Government reverse their plan to do irreparable damage to our sovereignty and national security, and to stop this dangerous precedent? |

| Message | This government has become all too pacifist for our liking, and dangerously so! |
