| Message | The current system provides less quality services than the one we propose would. Private companies only worry about their bottom line. If this passes. those with no where else to turn will be the top priority. |

| Message | While it is true some private companies are greedy, I assue the Mormon Socialists that the Ministry of Infrastructure & Transport hires only the most qualified and trust-worthy companies to handle these construction projects. We hire both local and national companies to build; the FAP supports both the current and proposed law, so we'll vote for this like we said but like what the Christian Liberals said they are one in the same. |

| Message | Exactly, the State is the one who contracts with these private companies...they aren't doing it on their own initiative. There's sufficient regulation involved in choosing responsible companies to build housing projects. |
