| Date | 16:53:55, January 24, 2008 CET | From | Conservative Party | To | Debating the Functional Education Reform (2520) |
| Message | Article 1: We support Article 2: We are not certain it is the time to privatize higher education. Would be nice to have a private-subsidize option but that does not exist. Nevertheless, the CP would not vote against the bill because of this proposal but would like the NPP to rethink it. Article 3: We support. When safety is not in jeopardy, the CP endorses the freedom of choice. |
