| Message | Mr Speaker, With our current amount of information, the Defence Ministry does not believe that we should be limiting the effectiveness of our military with these restrictions. Unless we make or renew alliances, it would be too dangerous to restrict our military. Harry Darren, Defence Minister |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, we wonder why the current laws were imposed. We suppose it was to scare off other nations, making them consider twice whether or not to invade or agress our nation. Changing the law at this point doesn't seem wise to us. Gaston Lefebvre NWL chairman ad interim |

| Message | Mr. Speaker. We agree with the current policy. And would not favour a change in policy concerning chemical and nuclear weaponry. However in a constant changing terra we would consider this view at a future date. In a more peaceful environment. Anne Zocker Co-Leader of the LNUP |
