| Message | Senators, On its own this proposal would do nothing to enhance economic and social liberty in the Republic, since the vast majority of our industries are owned and operated by the state. Rebecca Clodia Pastor Senatrix |

| Message | Which production exactly? Most firms are in the hands of the state under current legislation. This proposal on its own would not change that. Rebecca Clodia Pastor Senatrix |

| Message | Such a move would be a step in the right direction in the short term, but in the long term it would not alter the underlying issues with the present political economy. With the market still intact, any collective ownership by the workforce would still be forced to operate within the confines of profit, and produce commodity products for exchange rather than for use. However, as we are in full support of the short term aims of the bill, we shall support the EPHS's proposal. Saturio Carantus, First Secretary of the Central Committee of the FCS |
