| Message | CP stands as follows: Prefer the choice in the train sector of the transportation industry. Prefer housing policy to remain sub-contracted to the private sector. CP believes partial subsidy of public transportation will encourage more commuters to take this method to get from one place to another. Lastly, that the energy be controlled by the state. CP votes against. |
