| Message | We advocate this proposal as we belive that it will protect jobs and protect failing industries. It is not as far as we would go, but we realise that to make progress in a pluralist nation, we must compromise with the Right. |
| Date | 22:46:59, March 22, 2006 CET | From |  Ducal Delegation | To | Debating the Industry Act |
| Message | The government should not get into the position of becoming a permanent susidiser of lame duck industries. Percy Waterman (Personal Secretary to the Grand Duke of Hikirena) |
| Date | 23:57:39, March 22, 2006 CET | From | Progressive Conservatives | To | Debating the Industry Act |
| Message | The PC Party shall support this legislation only because the legislation states very clearly that the government intervenes only when vital industries are involved. We hope, however, that such intervention does not become common practice. |
