Status[?]: passed

Description[?]:
| Mr. Speaker, How can an economy grow when the government interferes where it shouldnt. The NEPP can agree with subsidies and funding and small regulations so that corporations dont get an unfair hold over the people, but nationalising is NEVER the answer. It is also the reason for this economic decline |
