"I agree that a bridge or tunnel connecting mainland Antilla with Pitfarris would be beneficial. While there are concerns that the ferry industry may suffer, those concerns must be balanced against the greater good of our nation at large. A stable, all-weather transportation link between Pitfarris and Peterford would provide great economic benefits to the people of both regions. As it stands now, whether or not a person in Pitfarris can conduct business on mainland Antilla (or vice-versa) is contingent on the weather. In maintaining the ferry industry as the only means of transport between the islands, we are perhaps contributing to the economic hardship of citizens of Pitfarris and Peterford alike.

My esteemed colleague from Peterford is also correct in his assessment that the ferry industry would still be in demand. I contend that if we were to subsidize the ferry industry, it would promote tourism and even further increase the economic benefits to Pitfarris and Peterford."

"That is still only a temporary solution, Mr. Valentine. I think Mr. Roberts was on to something when he suggested promotion of the ferrymen as a heritage industry. I am confident that the TWC and NUWLG would end their opposition if we promised to do so.  It would also promote tourism in the area and bring an even greater economic benefit than the bridge alone would."

When will the Prime Minister announce the government appointments and when may we see the creation of a legislation thread?

As it seems half of the party is absent, it might be wise to wait a bit.

[Vazdul (Formerly Chairman of the Communist Party of Ontario)]

I suppose the Prime Minister will present a cabinet in due time.

He'd damn well better. We don't want to lose a confidence vote before we've even formed a government!

[Vazdul (Formerly Chairman of the Communist Party of Ontario)]

For the record, I have presented my ministry preferences to the Prime Minister. I am hopeful that a government will be formed soon.

I think by now everyone has.

OOC: Yeah, I just wanted everyone to know that it's not me they're waiting on.

I'm still willing to play, but we need more activity. We can't be a two-man parliament.
