| Message | Mr. Speaker, We are a worldwide example of freedom of communication thanks to the right for a free telephone line for everyone. We could reach an agreement to liberalize the telephone market, but only if prices are regulated to grant this freedom of communication. We must oppose to the government's proposal.
