| Message | Mr. Speaker, I am unclear as to why the USPH, Federalists, and Royalists have all put forth campaign finance reform bills. Can someone please explain to me why the status quo is unacceptable to my colleagues? Peter Knox MP for Axminster South Deputy Parliamentary Leader of the New Liberals |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, To answer Mr. Knox, we believe people should be able to donate to campaigns however they see fit. The proposals offered by both the Royalists and the USPH are too restrictive. Hence why we proposed an alternative. Jeffery Rawson Federalist Parliament Leader |
