| Message | Madame Speaker, this bill is functionally identical to the CWA, which the HNP recently opposed in a series of interviews on major news stations. We request the petitioners clarify their position on this issue. |
| Date | 14:01:26, February 17, 2010 CET | From | Hutorian Conservative Party | To | Debating the Child Benefit |
| Message | Madam Speaker, the HNP's position is very obvious on this issue. We believe in a balance between powers of the Central Government and powers of the Local Governments. Child Benefit is an issue that should be left to the Local Councils and we will press the local governments to distribute child benefit to all who are entitled |
