| Message | Saajid al-Rassi, PNP Speaker for Trade and Industry, Honourable Parliamentarians, You are aware that regulating the prices for prescription drugs will achieve nothing but a shortage, a shortage in one of the most vital areas of the economy. We do not understand the economic illiteracy of this bill. In addition, subsidies for public transport and tuition will only cause inflation of their respective prices. We will not stand by as you ruin the economy, and overturn every advancement that we have achieved. Thank you |
