| Message | Madame Speaker, we feel we must ask - what benefit does the CLP believe will be derived from this bill, except towards their own ideological goals? There is no benefit to the consumer in having a patchwork grid of slipshod maintenance, with competing companies attacking each other's grids in a drive for profit while holding those who live in the regions they control for ransom with the threat of the removal of basic utilities. |
