Description[?]:
| Mr. Speaker, I bring this humble proposal to this most esteemed institution. As of late, numerous responsibilities were taken from those I represent. Be they teachers, engineers, or construction workers. I must appeal to this assembly that our responsibilities are re-instated. If not for the sake of our members; for the sake of our employers. If we - We Unionists and those Businessmen - are able to more fluidly, naturally work issues out between us. We shall all get along better. - Randal Odinson |
