| Message | OOC: It makes a shitload of money so that's not a fair argument. In Canada, the profit does go to the government and forms an important part of the budget which indirectly goes back to the people either through debt repayment or tax refund. |

| Message | We think its a vital industry that all sectors of society need and use. It should be kept at the lowest price possible, with the cleanest technology and I believe only the state can provide that. |
| Date | 07:42:49, March 02, 2008 CET | From | Normand Pluralist Party | To | Debating the PUA Energy Grid Bill |
