Valenciennes Provincial Parliament Round-Up

Over the last two months the Valenciennes Provincial Parliament has been busy working on a few different issues. Firstly the Parliament has been working towards securing the legality of the Provincial Parliament by dealing with constitutional agreements. This has resulted in Geneva's Imperial Parliament and the Emperor clarifying Parliament's right to operate and exist. Furthermore, Parliament has moved to clear up any irregularities between the Imperial and Provincial Constitutions. This was done by passing the Housekeeping Amendment [2007] Act.

Furthermore an amendment to the Provincial Constitution, the Valenciennes Constitutional Amendment [Sept 2007] Act, saw full executive authority vested in the First Minister of the Province. This allows for the First Minister to select and manage a Provincial Executive if they so wish.

This month, I will be looking to finally receive an official budget from the Imperial Finance Ministry so that some real progress can begin to be made in our Province. Valenciennes citizens, your commitment is much appreciated.
