| Date | 00:12:25, February 17, 2010 CET | From | SDLP/ Caillea Vinstri Bandalag | To | Debating the Public Works Revitalization Act |
| Message | We are the party that passed this law to begin with. The SDLP/CVB believes strongly in devolution, and we feel that the local governments (ie provincial governments) can deal with the demands of its populace better than the national government |

| Message | Yes but leaving public works to local govts means it is less likely that public works projects will get done, particularly without federal funding. It would be better to have a national public works project with determined goals and greater funding and organization. |

| Message | How is letting local governments deal with public works ensuring that projects are less likely to get done? Is it not more likely that the central government will deem a project less important than the local government that is more effected but the need of public works? |
