| Message | The PPCR would vote in favor of this bill if Article 3 was removed and put forth as a separate piece of legislation. |
| Date | 00:32:02, October 06, 2009 CET | From | Christian Action | To | Debating the Welfare Reform |
| Message | As per Article One this is not as it sounds but an Action Initiative that is already paying for itself quite handsomely and to throw it out would cost the government heavily. Article Two we will not support as we do not stand behind the arbitrary lines of rich and poor, bureaucrats cannot decide whether a family needs government support from income bracket, Action stands for equality and we will not support such barriers within the nation. Article Three will never gain our support, to force by law the people of our nation into the hands of private business. Compulsory we cannot support except under the strict promise that it would be kept under complete government or Departmental control to prevent the exploitation of the Cildanian people. |
