| Message | Mr speaker The NDP have looked at this bill thoroughly and after consulting with its members have decided that this a bill to vote for. We agree with article 1 as it will help the middle class. And we agree with Article 2 as well because it is a minor tax cut to the rich of this country. Which will help bring up the people of the middle class. However, we should propose another tax cut until we see results on what this bill has done. Ted Harris Leader of the NDP |

| Message | If this bill passes, Valuzia will be left with a 3bn budget deficit. This is a clear example of economic illiteracy from the LMP. While we support tax cuts we believe that keeping a budget surplus is important. |

| Random fact: Any RP law granting extraordinary "emergency powers" or dictator-like powers to a government must be passed by at least a 2/3rds majority, but (like all RP laws) may always be overturned by a simple majority vote of the legislature. |

Ask the experimenters why it is morally okay to experiment on animals, and the answer is: "Because the animals are not like us." Animal experimentation rests on a logical contradiction." - Charles R.
