| Message | Mr Speaker, We will not support this assault on forestry related jobs at a time where the Gonzalez government is pumping up unemployment like it's the end of time. Si Jan MP BCB Environment Critic Member for Elbian |

| Message | Mr Speaker, any rise in unemployment occurring in any sector is to be blamed entirely on the economic xenophobia policy introduced by BCB and their allies, which restricted foreign investment and will deny jobs to countless Dranish citizens that could have been employed by multinational business ventures. Eduardo Rivera MP Member for Magadonia RFR Chairman |

| Message | Mr Speaker, It is obvious that the government's extreme austerity proposals and general dysfunctionality are the greatest factors in the massive increase in unemployment. Face it, Mr Rivera, you and your allies have spooked the markets and will soon drive the Dranish economy into the pits. A foreign investor can inject as much money in any private owned companies and a caring government would increase investment in national owned companies in order to prevent the now fast developing conditions of economic chaos.

| Message | Mr Speaker, so far not a single DRA has been cut from the budget thanks to left-wing obstructionism, and any blame for economic woes belongs to the laws in place, created predominately by the socialist Yates government. Furthermore, there is no use funneling more and more money into union-controlled public companies which have no incentive whatsoever to provide excellence in their services given that they are protected by law from competition and market-based quality checks. We must slash public spending and let the private sector spend more money, which is the only way we can save the economy. Eduardo Rivera MP Member for Magadonia RFR Chairman |

| Message | Mr Speaker, This leftwing obstructionism Mr Rivera talks of surely ended several months ago and the Gonzalez government has a majority of 10 in Parliament and only four parties compared to 6 under the AoL government. It should be working like a charm but alas those who believe in anarchy shall govern in anarchy. We believe to continue strengthening the public sector is the way forward and the extremist stances of Finance Minister Gascoyne are only spooking consumers and investors who will find every single bill raised once the privatisation mania is done and are thus saving their money until an AoL government returns ... in 3535 Joan Wigley MP BCB Finance Critic Member for Ulbrach |
| Date | 23:06:20, August 20, 2013 CET | From | Phillipsian Party of Dranland | To | Debating the Forests are the heart of Draddwyrland act |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, We would like to make it clear that while we don't support the party that proposed this bill, we support the bill itself. The forests need protection at any costs. Caroline Ortega MP Leader of the Phillipsian Party |
