| Message | Mme. Speaker, the continuing move towards acropoleis and other high-density, high-tensile constructions for living and commercial/industrial spaces, we have seen over-stock in timber the past two years, even beyond what can be exported to the Telamonese market or profitably exported elsewhere. Furthermore, the dire status of our rivers reminds us that it is not only the trees we see that make up the forest, but the smaller plants and animals that make up the undergrowth most deeply disturbed by logging activities. Unless we all wish to see our forests eviscerated from the inside out, as happened in the Adel, the Mazen, the Fal valleys, I urge other parties to support this legislation. |

| Message | Madam Speaker, this is simply scaremongering. The situation is nothing as dire as what the URR paint it to be. |
