| Message | Madam Speaker, While we don't necessarily feel that exploitation is occurring, we do support this bill as we feel that the government should regulate the shipment of goods as well as provide a public alternative to private corporations. |
| Date | 17:34:39, January 16, 2013 CET | From | Grand National Party | To | Debating the National Post Service Act |
| Message | Madam Speaker, thanks to the blessing that is capitalism, people who feel ripped off are perfectly free to switch to another supplier of services. However, government always means monopoly, even if you nominally allow private contenders, since still everyone is forced to pay for state businesses. Lana Howell-Torres MP Member for Ulbrach GNP Economic Spokeswoman |
