| Message | Mr. Speaker, Why would we replace the current preventative legislation with this reactionary legislation? Why would we allow companies to cause damage to people and business instead of preventing it from even happening? This legislation would cost the government, people and business an unnecessary amount of money. It would mean that the government and individuals would have to pay for legal fees before businesses would even have to pay out. This legislation is a step backwards for consumers and for software companies. |

| Random fact: In cases where a party has no seat, the default presumption should be that the party is able to contribute to debates in the legislature due to one of its members winning a seat at a by-election. However, players may collectively improvise arrangements of their own to provide a satisfying explanation for how parties with no seats in the legislature can speak and vote there. |
