Correct, we cannot be making foreign policy decisions.

This bill, however, simply confirms our solidarity, as an Assembly, with the Kurds in their struggle against ISIS.  That has my full support.

One point of clarification, regarding the flying of the Kurdish flag on a designated day, I assume this means on one designated day, and not on an annual basis.  Is that correct?

Yes, it would be on a designated day this year, and not an annual basis. This would be open for review, but if we make it annual then we're going to have to get 365 different flags

I fail to see your reasoning that we would have to have 365 different flags to fly a flag once a year.

Anyway, this event, the flying of the Kurdish flag, should be a one time only event.

Yes, March 21 is a good date for this flag flying event.

Although I do not believe this bill actually sets foreign policy, but only makes a statement, due to concerns raised about this bill, perhaps we should get a ruling as to rather this bill can legally be introduced and voted on by this Assembly.

Voting should be delayed until a ruling has been obtained.

Does anyone else in the Assembly support me in this proposal?

If that is the consensus of the Assembly, but we must be extremely careful that any legislation we present, debate, or pass in this assembly does not pass over into the realm of foreign policy.

Foreign policy is not our  responsibility nor is it our jurisdiction.
