MessageMr. Speaker

We are shocked these policies were allowed to continue for as long as they did and are most definitely in support.

MessageMr Speaker,

We too support proper changes but we cannot support the proposed changes. We oppose allowing the printing of falsehoods on to go on without legal recourse for those affected. We wholeheartedly support the changes in Article 1 however and will vote accordingly.

MessageMr. Speaker

Mr. Romani's concerns are indeed valid, falsehood possess the potential to inflict damage upon individuals and the state and have done so in the past. That being said, a substantially greater amount of damage is dealt when the state possesses the power to determine what is fact and what is fiction, especially as such information relates to, often corrupt, individuals of doubtful intent within the government or the greater populace. Even a court of law possesses the ability to inflict injustices when given such a power.

MessageMr. Speaker

While we are voting in favour, we would like to inform our partners in the PKPD we will be seeking to amend Article 2 in a subsequent bill to protect individuals and organizations from having falsehoods written about them without being able to seek legal recourse, though we do agree with removing the government from the picture.
