| Message | Mr. Speaker, One of the great accomplishments of the SPM in its early days was to create our current system of free trade by repealing something very much like Article 2 of this bill. We hope that our allies will join us in fighting down this repugnant proposal, as they once did almost a decade ago when the MMP was pushing this. |

| Message | Mr Speaker, The LCP outline that domestic industry and domestic employment are of no concern to them. |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, The LCP outlines that the people tend to come out better off if they can afford products than if the government arbitrarily restricts supply and raises prices. We certainly care about domestic workers, but we feel that their interests are better served if they can afford to buy the necessities of a comfortable life. |
