| Message | Mr. Speaker, At no point in recent history did the GNRG have complete control of the government, or a majority of seats within the Presidium to be able to pass a bill without relying on other parties. To blame everything that the government does, on the GNRG, is ridiculous and petty. The current law is better than the one that existed before it. If we had proposed what Myriam Mitchell is proposing now, there is no guarantee that the bill would have passed. Also, we're not opposed to families owning small businesses, so we will be voting against this anyway. -- Andre Fertig, Chairman of the GNRG, Vice President of Lodamun |

| Message | Mr Speaker, The state can always Localise the power, we are not suggesting to put all busines in the direct of the hand but to make the state responsable for all business, sure we do not oppose families etheir but we oppose child labour and any form of slavery, we believe child labour to be a form of slavery, Myriam Mitchell |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, The bill says nothing about the state's role in the economy, it addresses DWCs and the economy. It also says nothing about child labour or slavery. Myriam Mitchell needs to develop solid points and stop the random rambling. -- Andre Fertig, Chairman of the GNRG, Vice President of Lodamun |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, While the SLP do not oppose the idea of making everything run by the workers, we do find that letting some business run differently allows us a sort of litmus test to determine whether things are working as they should be. ~ Rowan Argall The President |
