| Message | Mr. Speaker, The Conservative Alliance is proud to bring this legislation to the Presidium. The police are not the prime investigative or enforcement body of power within our nation; that recognition lies with our paramilitary organizations. We therefore propose this Act that limits police powers to better give liberties to our citizens but does not harm the ability of paramilitary organizations to protect our nation. We specifically point to Article 7 in which exemptions are laid out. - Charles Leesly Internal Affairs Critic for the CAP |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, If possible we'd like to hear the opinion of the sitting Internal Affairs Minister on this legislation prior to submitting it to voting. We highlight the fact that at the moment the police are given a lot of power and sway in society and yet are unarmed. We believe paramilitary organizations best defend and police us; let us corral the police in Lodamun to better protect our citizens from undue abuse and give proper authority and distinction to the paramilitary. - Charles Leesly Internal Affairs Critic for the CAP |
| Date | 16:48:48, June 13, 2014 CET | From | Grand Nationalist Fraction | To | Debating the Comprehensive Proper Enforcement and Policing Act (CPEP Act) |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, article 2 and 3, we can live with. The rest we are not willing to support. Jorik Urbain Minister of Internal Affairs |
| Date | 17:48:55, June 13, 2014 CET | From | Conservative Alliance Party | To | Debating the Comprehensive Proper Enforcement and Policing Act (CPEP Act) |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, We have made the requested changes in the name of compromise and to see a successful passage of this Act. We therefore open voting on the CPEP Act. - Rick Hobbs Leader of the CAP |
| Date | 17:57:27, June 13, 2014 CET | From | Great National Republican Guard | To | Debating the Comprehensive Proper Enforcement and Policing Act (CPEP Act) |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, We are pretty much neutral, on this matter. We neither approve nor disapprove with the bill itself. As such, we prefer to maintain the status quo as it would be easier than implementing change. If the majority of the Presidium, however, votes on favour, we would not have a problem. -- Eric Fertig, GNRG Spokesman on Internal Affairs |
