| Message | Monsieur le Haut-Conseiller, The Leader of the Opposition does not know what he speaks of. Regulations and State involvelment in the economy are there to ensure the stability of the economy and to protect our citizens from being taken advantage of by the private corporations. While this Government strongly supports a market economy, our position is that the best solution is a strong mixed economy. If this bill was to pass, it would be a threat to our National Security and to our stable economy. |
