Mr. Flo, how do you envision your role as SoIA and how should the position be altered going forward both in terms of its interaction with the GM and also with regards to in general what the position and its role should be in the game?

Do you have any thoughts concerning legislation on the floor that you would be tasked with enforcing as Secretary of Internal Affairs?

I have full faith that Flo will do an outstanding job as Secretary of Internal Affairs/the Interior. I can state the intention to vote for his confirmation.

Mr. Flo, how do you envision your role as SoIA and how should the position be altered going forward both in terms of its interaction with the GM and also with regards to in general what the position and its role should be in the game?

What sort of things do you believe the SoIA should be involved in doing, and what in particular will you attempt to accomplish as SoIA? Please be as specific as possible.
Senator Deus, thank you for your question. I would refer you to my previous answers as it pertains to your questions. As for my view of the SoIA, I do have quite a few ideas as to what I wish to do as SoIA.
1. To oversee and manage the departments under the jurisdiction of the SoIA, as well as implementing the policies and legislation dealing with the SoIA departments.
2. In conjuncture with the GM, working to provide updates on the economy and fiscal spending. Especially with the recent events around the stock market, I would work to help instill confidence in our markets.
3. As I responded to Senator Nix, I would work closely with the regions and help re-convene if not create a similar organization of C.A.R.E. but including our regions legislators and not just executives. Furthermore, I do believe that creating a system of alerting regions with the possibility of accessing federal funds for issues such as homelessness, for example.
4. I hope to work with the Senate, as well as referring to previous legislation passed, on helping to push Atlasia to energy independence, focusing on non-fossil fuel energy sources.
5. In terms of Ebola, I will be looking to working with officials, possibly appointing a deputy overseeing our efforts to help contain the outbreak.
As I stated in my speech, I do not plan to on staying on after the Cranberry administration, unless requested by the winner of the election. However, I will be wish to accomplish my stated aims, or at least getting the ball rolling.

I was looking through GAworth's confirmation hearing, and I thought this summed it up pretty well,  and I hope to continue GAworth's goals in this administration.

Do you have any thoughts concerning legislation on the floor that you would be tasked with enforcing as Secretary of Internal Affairs?

The ones I've looked at I'm largely in support, although the complete elimination of agricultural subsidies is a little concerning, I do support them for small farmers, but not the large corporations, so I'd like to see the wording changed a bit but other than that, I'm in support of them.

I have full faith that Flo will do an outstanding job as Secretary of Internal Affairs/the Interior. I can state the intention to vote for his confirmation.

Thank you, gentlemen! It means a lot to have your support.

I thought they expired in 2017 Tongue

Seeing little debate over the past several hours, I'll open a final vote here. Please vote Aye, Nay, or Abstain on the nominee.

Abstain

Not that I wouldn't vote to confirm you, Flo. But given that I'm incoming GM and I believe it should be separate from bias, I'm abstaining on all confirmations.

With six votes in favor, the nominee has enough votes to pass. 24 hours to change votes.
