| Message | Mr. Speaker. We dont see how this proposal will privitize this area. It would more deprive the area of needed funding. Raven Valentinn JDP Deputy Leader |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, What's this talk about "handing over" farmland?! Even a communist knows that you need to get something in return for the things you give out. Are you sure you understand economics, Weiman? ~ Mattie Hopkins MInister of Finance |
| Date | 03:58:56, October 22, 2014 CET | From | Conservative Monarchist Alliance | To | Debating the Agricultural Privatisation Act |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, I apologise for the imprecision in my language. No, we are not proposing to hand over state-owned agricultural land free of charge. We will charge the full market price for it, and use the proceeds to invest in projects like building schools and hospitals. Mathis Weiman Economic Affairs spokesman |
