| Message | Mr Speaker, Eminent domain is crucial in the development of our nation's infrastructure. Nimbyism's only cure will be gone forever if eminent domain is indeed banned. However, we do support article II for the eminent domain has its flaws, yet not so deadly that it can be banned completely. John Christie, MP (Progressives) |
