| Message | The CPS presents this bill as a loosening of the noose which has been placed upon Solentian corporations in the past, while maintaining the admirable protections of the people which have been built in. We open the floor for debate. |
| Date | 05:59:32, May 03, 2010 CET | From | Utilitarian Party of Solentia | To | Debating the SR 003: Economic Freedoms Package of 2931 |
| Message | The Utilitarian Party of Solentia presents its regrets to the Conservative Party of Solentia. The bill was a good one though. Presnting a new bill in which the article 2 is removed will be gladly voted upon by our party. Concerning article 3, some sort of minimal regulation for the energy companies would nevertheless be well seen by our party. |
