FT 10-22: Resolution on SB 9010 (Passed)

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

I might have phrased ASV's amendment slightly differently, but I won't vote against a resolution condemning the bill, especially as the constitutional problems remain unresolved.

[YE]

I PMed YE and both our senators for their opinion on the railway and didn't receive any responses, so I would like input from other members of the Fremont government.

In my opinion, the bill would be of more benefit to Canada than Fremont and the cities of Whitefish, and especially Shelby, MT, are too small for the region to benefit and therefore we would likely be hit with a loss if we were to agree to fund it.  There is also no set amount for how much we would need to shell out for this project and so Parliament would have to approve those funds at a later time.  So for those reasons, I lean opposed to SB 9010.

That PM prompted me drafting this resolution FTR. Me personally I don't feel strongly either way.

A RESOLUTION

That this chamber voices its matter on SB 9010.

Whereas, the Senate is voting on SB 9010: Fulfilling Railway Promises Act.
Whereas, this bill establishes a useless passenger rail connection along a thinly populated route solely to make a stupid meme into reality.
Whereas, this service would strongly impinge on the rights of the governments of both Canada and Fremont to regulate and operate their passenger as they see fit.
Resolved, that this Parliament objects in the strongest possible terms to SB 9010.
Further Resolved, that this Parliament urges the Federal Congress to reject this idiotic legislation.
Further Resolved, that this Parliament urges all Senators and Representatives who reside in this region to vote Nay on this legislation.
Further Resolved, that this Parliament objects to the use of any funds of the Government of Fremont to be used to finance this ridiculous project.
Further Resolved, that the Government of Fremont categorically refuses to spend a single cent on funding this absurd project.

I introduce the following amendment.

Well, that is very harsh language, yikes!

Aye

[AustralianSwingVoter]

And there's 4 ayes, so this bill has passed.
Though I do hope the 2 members yet to vote will vote within the next 2 and a half days, so we can have a wholeheartedly active Parliament.

I know. I'm just stating that there's now 4 aye votes. I'm merely letting everyone know that this bill has now got enough votes to pass, in my role as a member of this Parliament.
It is the Speaker's job to officiate over Parliament. That doesn't mean MPs can't just state what is happening. If anything we, as MPs, should aim to be proactive in office.

You said and even posted in the Senate thread that the bill had passed.

Okay, I'll admit that was poorly worded. I should have said the resolution has now achieved enough votes to pass.

RIP Brugh's dream

I think fiscal responsibility is far more pertinent to the functionings of government than meme legislation.

RIP Brugh's dream

I think fiscal responsibility is far more pertinent to the functionings of government than meme legislation.

When this is over, parliament should pass a resolution to expunge "meme" from the entirety of the English lexicon.
