| Date | 16:56:51, April 07, 2015 CET | From | Communist Party of Solentia (CPS) | To | Debating the Outsourcing act |
| Message | Look! Chann corporatists are already imagining the profits this would give to them. And they're right! Corporations will cut all the costs except ones that go to profits. We would get low-quality services and shareholders of corporations would grab a lot of tax money. Paul Broussard, SDP leader, President of Solentia |
| Date | 18:42:33, April 07, 2015 CET | From | Free Democratic Party | To | Debating the Outsourcing act |
| Message | "This would improve the quality. It would decrease the cost. Outsourcing is brilliant, and the only negative of it would be that companies like Chann would have too much influence in the government. Let's end corporate welfare and start outsourcing." ~Ted Johnson, Head Chairman of the LPS and Prime Minister |
