| Message | Mr. Speaker, I rise today to speak on behalf of this proposal that the IDP party has put forward. Not only does it allow a little bit of light to be shined on the government which can only help improve our Empire, but it allows the government to control the flow of information so that pertinent, sensitive, or potentially harmful information will not be released until the government is ready to do so. This will allow our future generations the ability to look back and write a correct historical narrative of our time. |
