| Message | M. Speaker, No sane person could ever possibly think that this bill (and others drafted by the Traditional Alliance) would be a step forward for Lodamun. I don't know where Mr. Smith is getting his numbers from. Perhaps from the stone age where he is clearly from. Terry Hawthorne Prime Minister |
