With all due respect, Chanku, I feel that we do not need to establish two holidays, when one stretching over two days would suffice. You call one the "Day of Reconciliation" and the other, the "Day of Reunion", when, in my mind, these two events happened near-simultaneously due to the fact that people experienced both events on an individual level. I would not be opposed to adding the statement into the proposed bill, but I feel that trying to separate out the events of two emotionally-charged days into clearly defined holidays is unwise.

Additionally, your bill references the "November Crisis" and the "February Crisis", both of which are not used in any official government dispatches, except colloquially among government personnel. In the future, this could conceivably cause confusion to anyone going through the archives, given the fact that this will be the first government statement to even mention what happened over those months except the Regional Truth Commission, and even their mission was only related to the November Crisis upon establishment, and no further comments have been made by them about the February Crisis, aside from the decoding of transcripts taken from the regional Discord.

I would also like to mention that we as the Underhusen are trying to represent the citizens through our work. Based on my communication with citizens on the Citizen's Platform, and through what I read in the discussion thread, that the Day of Rekindling has been more well received there, and among the Skrifa that have weighed in here.

Finally, as a side note, due to the fact that no one has seconded my motion to extend the debate, this bill has been in limbo as of three days ago.

A motion to extend debate is not strictly necessary, as debate and discussion of a bill may continue until the time limit has been reached.

With the new edits, I motion to vote.

I second the motion to vote.

I think it's been discussed enough, with everyone's input in it and Chanku's suggestions being added, and with elections coming in less than a week, I think we can vote on it now.

Motion Carries and this now goes to a vote.
