| Message | Mr. Speaker, We disagree with everything but Article 1. This bill allows anyone, even the extremely rich, to make up their own religion and to set up their own schools. They could build a school that worships them. We cannot allow this evil to happen. We cannot allow false thought to be taught to our vulnerable children. Only the government can control everything. Anton Hachtel MP (NSVWP) Leader of the Opposition |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, We will put this bill in to a vote without article 1. However we will put article 1 in a separate bill to vote upon. Celia Thompson Prime Minister |
