| Message | Mr. Speaker, What is there to say? The Federalists continue to attack the most vulnerable of our citizens. Nothing in this bill makes people's lives better. We will vote against it. Rebecca Doyle MP for Prosperity Cove Parliamentary Leader of the New Liberals |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, The NLP continues to make assertions with no statistical or logical backing. How does cheaper services constitute attacking the most vulnerable? How does greater employment adversely affect the most vulnerable? Cheaper services and more money in the hands of the average consumer, hmm it seems like the NLP is fear-mongering once again.

| Message | Mr. Speaker, The Scientians support articles 3 (phone service reform) and 4 (prostitution reform). However the Scientians do not support ending tripartism for salary caps. We may support article 1 (nation's power grid) if it is changed to "each region owns and maintains its own power grid". - Ambassador Norbert Lowell of the Scientian Enclave |
| Date | 21:44:40, June 26, 2018 CET | From | Federal Heritage Party of Hutori | To | Debating the F-143: Denationalization & Economic Freedom Act |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, We ask of the Scientian Enclave as to why they don't support article 2? Isn't remuneration supposed to be between the employer and the employed? What use is there of setting a salary cap other than to hinder ambition and innovation? Jeffery Rawson Federalist Parliament Leader |
| Date | 21:59:30, June 26, 2018 CET | From | Scientian Enclave | To | Debating the F-143: Denationalization & Economic Freedom Act |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, The present policy already delegates this process between workers and employers. Salary caps can serve to ensure individuals are not excessively compensated when others have not seen improvements to their living standards. We agree however that this is not always appropriate and thus support the delegation of this to worker and employer organizations. - Ambassador Norbert Lowell of the Scientian Enclave |
