Honorable Gentlemen, the ferrymen of the firth have kept our beloved nation united for many, many years. Now, do we really want to throw them under the bus? The ferry workers have long since been a cornerstone to our nation. They have always worked hard so we can communicate and travel. Is this how we repay them? This tunnel to Pittfarris? Is it worth it? Is it worth putting so many of our citizens out of work? I have absolutely no issue at all with getting on the ferry. Surely, if one needs to travel fast enough, their is the more expensive option of air travel. I oppose putting the good Antillean ferrymen out of business, for such a expensive, and fruitless project.

Mr. De Wilde
Is the ecological concerns of the nation, more important the speedy communication between our citizens? First, this government promises to throw the Ferrymen who serve the Firth under the Bus, and then, condemn the pilots, and automobile drivers? I love Antilla dearly. I love our environment, and just like you, Mr. De Wilde, I am committed to keeping it. But, where do we draw the line?

Mr Ian Harlow leaves the Chamber for a smoke, clearly defeated.

Mr. De Bruijn is absolutely right, we must reduce the debt, very, very soon.

Mr Roberts, constructing a bridge will only create more unemployment, with the loss of ferrymans jobs. Building a bridge will only provide temporary work for construction. Is it worth the permanent loss of others jobs?

Mr Roberts. Your idea of "benefiting" the economy is "screwing over" some people in favor of another. The Ferryman of this island have survived through good and bad economies, much like our nation. The employment created by this idiotic project is only short term, and is a weak promise at best.

More Angry exchanges on the floor

Whats best for Pittfarris is not whats best for Antilla, and vice verse. The ferryman have served as middleman for our islands, and have provided employment to people of both islands. If anything is misguided, it is Mr Roberts views, not mine.

Loud cheers in support and opposition.

If anyone has made any sense in this debate, it is Mr. Burke. At least he puts the people above the economic "needs" of the nation, and for that, I commend him.

Mrs. Bailey has raised a wonderfull idea, which I have yet heard of. Cruiseliners. Surely Cruises can be a adequate replacement to the Ferrymen, without throwing them out of work, or forcing them into another profession. The idea should be explored.
