| Message | Rt Hon Hector James MP, Prime Minister. Mr Speaker, I will support the second article, but as the Libertarian Party has said, we must oppose the first article, and thus the bill as a whole. I think that the best policy is minimal interference with regards to DWCs. |

| Random quote: "In a sense we have come to our nation's capital to cash a cheque. When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir. This note was a promise that all men, yes, black men as well as white men, would be guaranteed the unalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." - Martin Luther King Jr. |
