| Message | Article 1 I can back. Article 2 I have some issues with. Isn't Article 2 essentially a free immigration policy? What numbers of people do we expect? Where will the money and resources to "integrate" these people come from? Where will they be resettled? There are an awful lot of unanswered questions here. |

| Message | Immigrants have to have enough qualifications and also must pass a test to gain citizenship/nationality, therefore no, it wouldn't be "free" immigration polciy. As part of government with the Liberal Conservatives who hold the position of infrastructure and transport speaking on that ministries' behalf, i'm sure infrastructure could do with improving anyway, so new homes could easily be built. |

| Message | Then why did they vote against it? Also, infrastructure normally refers to transportation, energy, and other networks, not housing. I'd be happy to see another bill with just article 1. |

| Message | Maybe because as they also have Conservatism as their ideology, which is right-wing, some of their members may also be supportive of moderate nationalism and therefore do not support more foreign refugees, but we do not know. |

| Message | Bingo. We support the first article. The second one is a bit extreme. |
