| Message | Mr. Speaker, Why? Yield. |

| Message | Mr. Speaker: What if the Jildrath whale population become over burdening on the ecosystem? Is preventing whaling hurting the ecosystem? Yield |

| Message | And why not? anyway. 1) To reduce pollution, of course. If people travel collective less fuel is consumed than if everyone uses car, and less pollution is created. And I think this is not bad. 2) Whales are on the way to extinction. Well, I think nothing more is required to be said. 3) Well, recycling unbiodegradable [dunno if this word exists in english, sorry, but I don't know other ways to say it] objects reduces pollution, also [another time: don't know if I'm using the right word]. And to create a cycle of recycling, sorry for the pun, means more employment. |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, The assumption that the Rev Party makes concerning the efficiency of the gov't in terms of pollution is rather un-explained. It is merely that, an assumption. We believe the people should have the freedom to decide for themselves on a daily basis what kind of recycling and pollution are in the oeconomy. Yield |

| Message | Honorable member of FP, just let me know where I said about measuring the efficency of government in terms of pollution. I don't remember to have said it. Secondarlily, I don't see the world "compulsory" in any part of this law; the only thing that this law makes compulsory is not to fish whales. |
| Date | 18:37:09, March 27, 2009 CET | From | Evangelium Vitae Party | To | Debating the Ecology Act |
| Message | Mr. Speaker: One does not fish whales, one whales whales. I yield the floor. |

| Message | "The government funds recycling facilities for public use." We believe the private sector is more efficient than the gov't at this. We all know that "encouraging" mass transit use eventually results in coercion of the use of mass transit... slippery slope... LET THE PEOPLE BE FREE!!!!!!!! yield |
