| Message | We cannot support this legislation. There is plenty of room for private companies currently, but there needs to be a central agency that binds together the private contractors. Currently, the State plays that role, and the NDP doesn't see why that should change. |

| Message | Until technology reaches a level where exploring space is a safe endeavor, the ULP will not ever support private companies being able to get permits to do so. |
