| Message | "The CMP cannot support this Act due to the existance of Section III Article 4 which we feel damages the competative nature of the free market and poses a threat to personal economic freedom. Furthermore, the CMP does not approve of Section II Article 2, part a which we view essentially as protectionist and not in the best interests of the economy. We must be ready to accept international interest and investment in our economy and this public works programme offers a great opportunity to spur investment. We feel that the FIP are overlooking at opportunity." Lewis Byrne (C: Fu) Shadow Secretary of State for Finance and Economics |
