| Message | Mr. Speaker, We believe that the bill is sound but the last uh, component is a little...odd? I yield, Benedict Lowe, Member of the People's Council, Fort William Leader of the Liberal Conservatives |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, This bill will be a nightmare for the environment and animal welfare. You can't let big corporations decide to impoverish our rivers, ocean and seas with no quotas. Enforcing religious codes for livestock farming is not democratic at all. Why should we abide by your religious rules? |
