| Message | While the DLU agree with some of the Articles in this bill, we are unfortunately not able to agree to such sweeping changes in one bill. Many of the Articles in this bill need to be debated on their own merit since agreement on one may not necessarily mean agreement on another. We will therefore regrettably abstain from this vote. |
