| Message | Sorry, but I just don't support a public TOC and never have, I don't see it as something that we need or something would help. I am sorry but I will vote against. Beatrice Lloyd Leader of the CPP Deputy PM |

| Message | I am afraid that I will have to agree with our colleges in the CPP. We simply do not see the need for public TOC's. Unless some circumstances change in the future in which public TOC's would play a significant role, I believe the free market will operate TOC's efficiently, safely, and cheaply for both the government and the consumer. Jackson Ruhr. Leader of the LDP. |

| Message | Private companies already own the TOC's. If anything, you are involving the government more, not less. Why do our colleges in the Democratic Front think this? Jackson Ruhr |
