| Message | Mr Speaker, We don't particularly support this legislation but the NEPP have compromised with us on numerous bills recently so we will grant them this bill- particularly as the Minister as a member of their party. Victor Babes Infrastructure and Transport Spokesperson Partidul Social Democrat |
| Date | 01:14:08, October 29, 2016 CET | From | Uniunea Hosia Democrată | To | Debating the Privitise the Internet |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, We believe this is an area of the economy which is best left to the private sector, so we support. Lucian Petrescu Chairman of the Hosian Democratic Union Minister of Justice |

| Message | Mr Speaker, We are concerned about the effect of this bill in isolated parts of the country where private businesses might not see a sufficient profit incentive in investing. This would leave them behind in such technological advances. We urge all Assemblymen to reconsider their votes. Ion Bosianu Chairman of PNA |
| Date | 00:44:17, October 30, 2016 CET | From | Partidul Social Democrat | To | Debating the Privitise the Internet |
| Message | Mr Speaker, If people living in these isolated parts of the world are so concerned about their internet connection, perhaps they should consider moving. It shouldn't be the taxpayer's responsibility to accommodate their lifestyle. Victor Babes Infrastructure and Transport Spokesperson Partidul Social Democrat |
| Date | 06:21:55, October 30, 2016 CET | From | Liga Tradiționalistă | To | Debating the Privitise the Internet |
| Message | Mr Speaker, Would you be willing to buy them new homes in less isolated areas perhaps? And it is the taxpayer's responsibility to ensure decent infrastructure for every citizen since practically every citizen is a taxpayer, you know. Ion Bosianu Chairman of PNA |
| Date | 23:42:34, October 30, 2016 CET | From | Uniunea Hosia Democrată | To | Debating the Privitise the Internet |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, Whilst we support this proposal as a whole, we do sympathise with the concerns expressed by PNA. Perhaps the Ministry for Infrastructure and/or the Minister of Science & Technology could offer grants to local councils in rural areas, in order to allow them to ensure those living in far-flung areas are not excluded from internet access? Lucian Petrescu Chairman of the Hosian Democratic Union Minister of Justice |

| Message | Mr Speaker, The government provides public housing to families on low-incomes and we aren't aware that this housing is in the distant countryside so to answer the question, YES! My party initiated this policy through the New Era for the Confederation Act (found here: http://classic.particracy.net/viewbill.php?billid=489185). It is also worth pointing out that, despite the delusions of the Tractor Party, there are many, many citizens who pay no tax! Those earning below 40,000 Dollars would pay no income tax and given their level of income, probably no Luxury Goods Tax either. This just demonstrates why the PNA cannot be trusted on economic matters. Victor Babes Infrastructure and Transport Spokesperson Partidul Social Democrat |
| Date | 00:11:03, October 31, 2016 CET | From | Partidul Social Democrat | To | Debating the Privitise the Internet |
| Message | Mr Speaker, I have been informed by my superiors that I am not to refer to the PNA as 'the Tractor Party'. Excuse my slip of the tongue. Victor Babes Infrastructure and Transport Spokesperson Partidul Social Democrat |
