| Message | This good bill allows as a compliment to the Free Trade bill and is explained completely as the myths of Free Trade in the Debate of that bill. There fore please support this good bill and learn about the economic benefits our nation can endure while participating in this bill. It may make our country a great superpower before they implement the economics factor of the system. Trust me. |

| Message | Since I am not in favor of free trade I am not in favor of this method as a substitute for tariffs. This party respectfully disagrees. |

| Message | I'm with the PPP on this one. I favour freer trade, negotiated on a bilateral basis with our neighbours, but the framework for trade the CRIP seems to be pushing is far too ideogically rigid for our party to support. |
