[Alfonso Velez]

Madam Speaker,

This bill takes an important step forward by setting up states and autonomous regions so that our new lands can have the representation that they deserve on a regional and local level. I welcome these new lands to the Republic, and look forward to working along side them to strengthen Alduria. I hope the whole house will join me in voting for this common-sense piece of legislation.

[Speaker Rejo]

The Chair now opens the floor for general debate. All members may offer debate or amendments at this time. Debate shall last for no less than 48 hours.

[Soraya Hoseini]

Madam Speaker,
 
It is good to see our nation growing and organizing new states and regions. This Government pretends to govern for the continued growth and expansion of our country, but in another bill, they seek to limit it. I do not understand the logic behind these contradictions. I rise in support of this Bill, calling upon this government to cease this odd contradiction and halt the growth and expansion of this great country.

[Speaker Rejo]

All time for debate has now expired. The question is: Shall Parliament pass the pending bill? Voting shall last for no less than 48 hours
