Sponsors, questions, conserns, comments?

I, Quân Công Phạm, will also sponsor this bill. We can't have rats running through our courthouses or the roofs collapsing.

Maybe add in an office for animal and pest control.

[Nariterrr]

Argentarino, just wondering do you have a whip ready?

[Argentarino]

Argentarino, just wondering do you have a whip ready?

Yes, I will announce it when we get closer to the vote (just in case any info or amendments come to light that may change the whip line up).

[Eol Sha]

Can someone inform me on what happened in the e-board meeting last night?

[Lykens]

Sorry that's my fault.

I wanted to nap and said nap didn't end until late.

Essentially, Eol Sha has been appointed Deputy Parliamentary Leader, and Skyviolia has been appointed Vice Chairperson.

The SLP-LDP coalition has been ratified, as have our half of the shadow cabinet.

A party caucus to ratify these decisions has been scheduled for September 30, so I'd like to encourage everyone who can to attend. The time will be set soon.

Also more importantly, a platform committee chaired by myself, including New Tuva SSR and Nariterrr has been tasked with rewriting the platform.

[Nariterrr]

Sponsors?

[Argentarino]

Please stand by for official whip. Discussing one more item. Thank you for your patience, and I apologize for the inconvenience.

Emergency Policing Act: One Line Whip AGAINST

[Maklohi Vai]

"Emergency Policing Act: One Line Whip AGAINST"

May I ask why?

[Eol Sha]

I'd like to know as well. My only reservations are the "special warrants".

[Nariterrr]

"Emergency Policing Act: One Line Whip AGAINST"

May I ask why?

I find it undefined, a policing act shouldn't be that small, and its parameters are awfully vague.

"Emergency Policing Act: One Line Whip AGAINST"

Why didn't you raise those concerns in the Chamber? Also, for calling an act vague, these seem to be pretty unspecific concerns.

Your right, I didn't, but other people did -

Michel stood "I will be voting against this bill. For one, it is way to broad, undefined, and can be grossly misinterpreted. I also see §2 as unconstitutional, as the Hon. [Normandy and Picardy] pointed out."

The act doesn't clearly establish how the governance of the Capital Police works, it only establishes a Commissioner of Capital Police but does nothing to specifically his duty, authority, salary. The bill doesn't define how warrants should be sought and who needs to approve them. 'Special Warrant' is undefined.

Thank you for specifying. This is the sort of feedback which I could have incorporated into the bill had you, or anyone else, commented in the Chamber to this effect, but nobody did.

Yeah, I think it was rude of me to not specify why I was against the bill in the Chamber, sorry about that.

Something to learn from for the future, then. Thanks for laying out your concerns here, though. There will be more policing bills forthcoming, and together they should hopefully establish a more comprehensive system.

[Nariterrr]

I sponsor, Ahmed Corbor.

[Maklohi Vai]

I don't support revoking child care services from anyone, regardless of idiotic beliefs on vaccinations. At the same time, I don't think the government should require all vaccinations listed. HPV for men, for example, is still optional everywhere. What I'm looking for is a separate penalty for those who choose not to vaccinate their children, and I'm having a tough time coming up with something. Would you happen to be open to this.

Whoa whoa whoa. Why does the government get to deny a family child care options/subsidies/assistance just because they don't vaccinate their kids? As important as vaccination is, we can't deny poor Elizians family assistance just because the government doesn't like their personal choices. We're basically trading health and sanitation for starvation and homelessness.

On a less important note, I suggest replacing all mentions of "vaccination" and like words with "immunization". Other than making it sound more official, it also plainly states the purpose of the agency in a way that is less harsh than "vaccinate"."Vaccination" sounds like something jackboots would do while "immunization" sounds softer and more like something a government interested in protecting the public would do. Or, it could just be that I like the word "immunization" more.
