| Message | ''Mr. Speaker Of course, we are not trying to hide anything. We indeed legalise whaling in 4175. We did it mostly because, at the time, Roccato was facing a wave of unemployment and we wanted to create a new source of income for this province. But, we never intended whaling to be a long-term solution. But now, the economy of Roccato is way better then what it used to be, thanks to the great work of the premier of Roccato Rhaelyn Bell. And now, it's time for us to think about our ecosystem. It's time for us to think about the world we are going to give to our children. It's time for us to stop whaling.'' -Christine Bates Prime Minister of Hutori |
