| Message | Mr Speaker, I will never vote or let my party vote for a bill that would weaken our military and limit their ability to fight, and do so well. |

| Message | Mr Speaker, I urge the Conservative Right to explain their comments?! What part weakens our wonderful military. Our great leader Nigel Trump would never weaken our military and takes offence at such remarks. We are ensuring that civilians are protected in their homes. We don't wish to subsidise this huge industry, Chemical weapons shouldn't be used in civilian areas, and we are ensuring that everyone chips in some way with the objectors proposal. What weakens our military?! Can the NRIR also explain their reasoning? We assumed everyone would support this bill. |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, While we approve the articles 1 and 3, we do not approve the others. making provisions for civil defense mandatory for every construction is nonsense to our eyes since we are not in danger from other countries' attacks. Furthermore, it will cost a lot of money. Stopping our subsidies policy would weaken our industries and not help them. We decided to abstain. |

| Message | Mr Speaker, We at least thank the CP for explaining their decision. Other parties who simple objected should hang their heads in shame. |

| Message | Mr Speaker, Isn't it obvious? These decisions should be made by the military. Those who have done this. In a total war I will not limit our military in their choice of weapon. As for so called objectors....or as I'd much rather call them. Cowards. Cowards who enjoy the fruits of their nation without giving back to secure it's saftey! With this bill we would have the teens back loafing around the streets, stealing from each other in the day and selling drugs at night! The Defense industries should be subsided to make sure we have the best technology and equipment for soldiers we may put in harms way. We do hope it would satisfy the gentlemen. We would have preferred not to pick his bill apart in public, but he seemed to wish for it. |
