| Message | How exactly does nationalizing the fishing industry "cut down on Government size" ? |
| Date | 18:45:32, June 20, 2008 CET | From | Democratic Movement Alliance | To | Debating the Farming Act |

| Message | That just means the government decides on the issue, not necessarily that the government owns it or runs it. Heck, the government could say "we'll take no stand on this in any way". Leaving the matter up to the local government is just that, leaving it up to local governments and not deciding on it at a national level. |
