| Date | 04:10:51, September 18, 2006 CET | From | Mutualist Party of Cildania | To | Debating the Agricultural Reform Act |
| Message | The proposed Bill will help people, small farmers, medium sized farms whether cooperatives or companies, it will ensure diversity in our Agricultural sector. We do not believe that Cildnian Agriculture is best served by placing it in the hands of a few over-large businesses. As for GM crops, the long term health effects are not known, we do not wish to see Cildanians used as experimental subjects to determine whether they are safe or not. |
