| Message | Mr. Speaker, The Sutton Nationalist Party is wholly focused on devolution of powers to Sutton. We believe other Provincial governments may feel the same. The above are a list of policies related to devolution that we will support. We ask all other parties to tell us which policies THEY WILL NOT support, so that we may make a bill that passes, not fails. Andrew Macalester Leader of the SNP MP for Sutton East |
| Date | 23:05:03, September 21, 2018 CET | From | Hutori Party | To | Debating the Limited Operational Devolution of Enactments to Sutton, Territories, and All Regions (LODESTAR) Act of 4457 |
| Message | Mr Speaker, The Royalist Party will not support articles 8, 9 and 12. Article 8 doesn't make any sense considering our party made recreational canabis legal decades ago, so why allow provinces to disallow medicinal use? Article 9 is something this party will not support as we do not support any form of discrimination. As for Article 12, we believe there is no reason to keep a dangerous animal as a pet and therefore cannot support this change. Tristan Shaw MP for Acton Etobicoke North Minister of Trade & Industry Parliamentary Leader of the Royalist Party |
