| Message | Madam Speaker, considering the extensive rights that the nationalists have favoured for trade unions, we are surprised to see them voting in favour of their criminalisation. Madam Speaker, we are delighted to finally be able to vote in such a way that confirms our party as pro-trade union, rather than the anti- party that many paint us as being. We are the party, Madam Speaker, that strongly believes in workers' and individual rights, and would see the criminalisation of trade unions as a massive attack on civil liberties. As for the stipulation that only government advertising is allowed, Madam Speaker, it shows the nationalists for what they are. |
