Bill: Privatizing Trains and Public Works
Details
Submitted by[?]: Progressive Conservatives
Status[?]: passed
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: May 3221
Description[?]:
| Though we believe a number of areas are of such importance the government should oversee them - education, health care and defence for example - our government encourages the private sector to grow to others when possible. We urge legislators to realize the numerous advantages of allowing free market economics to take over areas the government doesn't have an absolute need to micromanage in order to crease jobs, increase efficiency and improve service via competition. |
