Description[?]:
| Mr Speaker Government interference in the market including but not limited to the banking sector is having a negative effect on economic growth. Furthermore, government interference in monetary policy gives political parties the oppurtunity to produce a temporary illusion of economic gains during election times. As such the measures we propose will not only improve our economy, but are also very important within a democracy. Luca Brankic Party leader CDUL |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, While we disagree with the CDUL on much, this is taking it to a whole new level. The abolishment of a minimum wage is to the detriment of all Lodamunese, and we will not stand for it! Furthermore, these changes dangerously deregulate Lodamun, and these changes will not help Lodamun in any way. This shows who the CDUL really serves, its corporate backers! This is blatant cronyism, I tell you! The PSP will never accept such outrageous changes! Sophie Hill PSP Parliamentary Leader |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, with the economic and financial problems in Kalistan, we should be vigilant for fluctuations of our currency. We will not support this bill. Louis Leloup LWA MP |
