Message | Sir, Please dont misunderstand this proposal: we are not communists, however we seriously think that infrastructure, mainly power generation is a strategic and vital sector: we cannot allow private firms to generate it and make a monopoly so that they can charge any price they want: it would be deadly for citizens, cause they would be ready to pay any price for having electricity..this is why we want to protect citizens from any kind of deadly monopoly in this sector... The same goes for post office and TOC, although less dangerous if privatized, this is why we allowed private ones alongside nationalized one... |

Message | Mr Speaker, We believe the Diet Committees are more than sufficient to regulate private initiative and to make sure the current system poses no threat to our national security. However, we understand the FP's positiont, though we oppose it. I yield. |
