| Message | Mr. Speaker, We support Article 1, however, would not support this bill. We would support Article 2 if it meant that the prices were also regulated. Regarding Article 3, we feel that the issue of fireworks is not something that would differ in different regions. And, as for Article 4, the current law is a legacy of our party, we will not go against a person's right to gamble. |
