| Message | We shall support this act. Local government is far better equipped to understand the forestry requirements of their prefectures. |
| Date | 02:01:23, November 23, 2006 CET | From | Demkratteja Lebraleiju Kundratatka | To | Debating the Forestry Act |
| Message | I support Amendment 2, as Local Government are better equipped to deal with these issues on the ground level. However we too would rather that the Local Government regulate Forestry management, as how would they be able to enforce legislation upon commercial entities (referring to amendment 2) if there were no agency in place to do so. Regulation is deemed necessary for amendment 2 to be put in place. If Amendment 1 was changed slightly We might vote for the proposed legislation. |

| Message | Forcing local governments to set up forestry agencies instead of making it opt-in defeats the purpose of delocalizing it in the first place, as federal intervention is necessary to make the decision for the local government in the first place. |
