| Message | We respecfully disagree with the ONC on this issue. Acting as an investor of last resort to provide vital services guarantees our citizens will have these services but does not affect the market in any other way. This is especially the case if the tax proposal offered by the Chancellor of Finance passes, then there will be money to federally assist vital industry and other social programming. |

| Random fact: By default the head of government is the ultimate authority within a national government. In general terms, heads of government are expected to consult with cabinet colleagues (including those from other parties) before making significant decisions but they remain responsible for government action. |
