| Message | Well, again, you can't stop all the chances of private sector. Give them a chance! We think the current policy is enough for public education funding. And again, it increases the financial burden of the government. So we shall vote no to the bill. |

| Message | Our view on this is quite straightforward. Business thrives when it can recruit from a highly skilled workforce, and that workforce is more likely to be innovative and take smart risks if it is not weighed down by the enormous debts that come with financing education for middle-class families. We hope that even the more libertarian-inclined parties will see the logic of this viewpoint. Lily Wang Shadow Education Minister |

| Message | Yet again, the government should not fund the rich. We would be more than happy to create a resolution adding to the current policy to state that "low-income" is to be defined as those considered not "wealthy". |
