| Message | Well, it does give the federal government the power of eminent domain previously reserved to local government, but both will indeed have this restriction. |

| Message | In the ongoing Ikradoni People's Congress, sentiment has shifted on this bill, and a revote was taken. Perhaps due to the absence of some delegates who had staged a walk-out to protest Fleming's nomination, the vote went the other way. The official IPC policy is now to support the national government's power of eminent domain. Premier-designate Fleming spoke strongly in favor of this decision afterwards, saying the national government should conduct what she called "reasonable redistribution of wealth." |

| Message | The FFP continues to oppose the concept of eminent domain in most cases. |
