| Message | Mr Speaker, Our party would like to encourage the Libertarians and Citizens United to reconsider their stance on this bill. The protection of our most fragile species should not be made into a political issue. We understand that you wish to minimize the effect the government has on our people, and we in fact share your views on restricting government involvement in personal liberties. However, we believe that it is necessary for the national government to take a firm stance on upholding the biodiversity of our planet, domestically and abroad. Kevin Boscage Chairman, LES |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, I WILL vote for this as a political issue, because we think this bill is worthless and we do not think the current situation affects our biodiversity in a negative way. Therefore we will vote against. Rep. Alayna Hackett, Leader LP |
