| Message | Mr Speaker, Even if we agree with the idea of the Federalist Party to exempts non-profit organizations from taxation and make donations to non-profit organizations tax deductible, the bill goes agains't our profound ideology that church should be taxed like any corporation are. The initiative of the Federalist Party is commendable but we can't, good conscience, vote yes on this bill. -Ismael Bachar MP for Axminister North Former Minister of Finance |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, We would like to ask the NPP, if a Church files for tax exemption status as a Not For Profit Organization why should the government prevent that? If they follow the law what does it matter if they are tax exempt? Rebecca Peters (F-RO) MP for Isle of Sutton South Federalist Finance Critic |
