| Message | Madam Speaker, This bill's aim is not to defend the interests of the people of Hutori - this bills aim is to diminish their personal freedom. We do therefor not understand how Hutori Interests can support this bill. And we most certainly cannot support this bill. Susan Anderson Minister of Justice Radical Alliance |

| Message | Madam Speaker, We feel that religion is a human product to keep the people in line and to seperate our people. We therefore support this measure to gradually remove religious influences on our people. We feel that the interests of the people surpass the individual freedom because we are a community party. Religion seperates this community. Toonbuck Toora, Member of Parliament |
