Lenna Schenkenberg - Speaker of the Assembly
I ask Mr. Jansen and other Assemblyperson to moderate their language. Remember you are here in representation of Nylander voters. Ours is a honourable and respectable task, our old institution should not be degraded with the use of such vulgar language.
It is now the turn for Selena Halgaard, from the Green Party parliamentary group.

Thank you Speaker, members of the Assembly. I agree with Mr. Lipton, it is debatable if this law will achieve its declared goal while it would worsen real existing problems and even create a bigger injustice than the situation today.
I can only disagree with Mr. Jansen with his claim that people are unable to understand that complicated problems require sometimes complicated remedies, as I strongly disagree with his wrongly and ignorant rhetoric. This law would throw to poverty to thousands of people and families, who in most cases have lived, worked, and pay taxes in our nation for years, even decades. That is unfair and it would only make our social problems worse, increasing poverty and inequality.
Words are not enough, and good policies are required. Sadly, this is not the case for the bill presented today. If no ammend is offered, I call for a motion to vote this act.
