| Message | We humbly request that bills are desperately by subject and include a more limited number of proposals. Article 6 is certainly not like the others. |

| Message | *seperated by subject |
| Date | 19:35:27, October 09, 2017 CET | From | People's Party | To | Debating the Civil Responsibilities |
| Message | Ok. I have a few more proposals to add. Why don"t I finish then you can tell me which proposals (if any) you would support and I will separate them out to a different bill? |
| Date | 19:42:19, October 09, 2017 CET | From | Parti Républicain | To | Debating the Civil Responsibilities |
| Message | For the sake of the game it is really better if proposals are grouped together by subject rather than put in massive omnibus bills. Even if we voted the same way on all of them slander, parental qualifications, abortion law and gun control should not be in the same piece of legislation. |
