| Message | Mr Speaker, The OCPS wishes to express that it would have preferred a more protectionist approach, but giving some leeway in this case is necessary to garner the support of other parties. That support is essential since this current policy is devastating Rutanian businesses, and it must be repealed *now*. Conrad Balfour, Leader, OCPS |
