| Message | Mr Speaker, this bill is an eyewash. Which sane investor is going to raise funds for researching in a technology that he won't be able to utilize at all? And how is an outright ban on pesticides, herbicides, and fungicide a 'milder' policy than the current policy stating that the government has the policy to outlaw these substances but doesn't necessarily have to do so? We will vote against this fraudulent bill and propose an own, more coherent version to curb environmentalist fundamentalism.
