| Message | Mr. Speaker, While we agree with our Democratic Socialist colleagues that we shouldn't be spending so much on the military, we believe this proposal goes too far. This could bring our military down to a degree that it would be difficult to defend ourselves. We cannot support this bill. Roland Moore, PPL-G Leader |
