| Message | Mr. Speaker, I did read that. The people must be protected from themselves. Those who desire to smoke clearly do not understand that they are killing themselves. What sort of government would we be if we failed to protect the people? I yield. |
| Date | 15:27:07, January 30, 2011 CET | From | Republican Party (RM) | To | Debating the Smoking Reform Act of 3068 |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, Such conservative views are absurd. Aloria is rapidly going backwards rather than progressing forwards. The mess that this nation will be left in when our party is left to pick up the pieces will be unbelievable. This bill is protecting people. Its protecting non-smokers who do not want to smoke, while giving the right to those who do want to smoke the ability to do so! I yield. |
