| Message | We also agree with a few of these, but cannot support all of them. In the future we hope that you will not group proposals dealing with issues as different as highway maintenance and public housing into the same bill. |

| Message | Mixed Bills are still theoretically illegal under the laws of Cildania [although i cant be bothered sorting though the legislative history to point out the bill in which is was declared so.] Please refrain from putting forward such impossible bills in the future, especially not without a lengthy debate. |
