Amendment to the LGBT Trade Act (Law'd)

[Associate Justice PiT]

This would restrict trade with the nations in orange, yellow, reddish pinkish. This would also make the current FTAs illegal:

F.L. 17-1: Atlasian-Kuwait Free Trade Act
F.L. 13-12: Atlasian-Bahrain Free Trade Act
F.L. 13-11: Atlasian-Morocco Free Trade Act
F.L. 13-10: Atlasian-Singapore Free Trade Act

and the following parts of:

F.L. 13-7: Caribbean Free Trade Act (with Antigua, Barbados, Dominica, Grenada, Jamaica, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Trinidad and Tobago)
F.L. 13-6: South American Free Trade Act (Guyana)

F.L. 14-4: Atlasia-Malaysia Free Trade Act would be illegal too.

     That one has already been repealed.

[Associate Justice PiT]

Could the nays explain themselves? Because I got nothing from you kind sirs during the long debate period. Not a big fan of teh gayz?

     Some people might consider the expansion of free trade to be a higher priority.

[Associate Justice PiT]

Abstain

I will change my vote to Aye if we may act on my amendment, proposed as friendly, to add the words "at the discretion of the SoEA." Otherwise, I cannot vote for something that would effectively repeal a number of FTAs.

So, instead, make it a bill that is effectively toothless, left at the mercy of the SoEA?

     Because of course HappyWarrior is an ardent free trader who'll basically nullify the bill, right?

Well, undoubtedly there will be other SoEAs you know

I could accept the amendment, I suppose, though I'm not thrilled about it. If MJ wants to cancel the final vote over it.

     Unless someone like me or SPC finds himself appointed SoEA, I don't think you have much to worry about there.
