| Message | Mr. Speaker, We're unsure about the Article on monopolies as we are worried leaving them completely unregulated could hurt competition in the case of very few or even just one company ends up monopolizing entire sector(s) of the economy. We are in agreement with the rest of the bill and could let that article pass too, but we may revisit the monopoly issue if we start seeing signs of these worries becoming reality.
