| Message | If companies choose to exercise positive discrimination policies, why should the government interfere in that choice? |
| Date | 16:56:20, January 08, 2007 CET | From | Catholic Justicial Party - Solidarity | To | Debating the Positive Discrimination Act |
| Message | Because it is morally wrong to practise 'positive discrimination'. In which case the government certainly has the right to intervene, we believe. |

| Message | Some companies recognise that they suffer from pervasive, institutionalised racism or other prejudice. They therefore set quotas in order to reduce the effect of these prejudices. They do this not only in order to be fair, but in order to run more competitive and efficient companies where employees achieve advancement based on their hard work and their talents. |

| Message | We've carefully studies the policy wording and so long as this only applies to practices recognised as "positive discrimination" and, for instance, wouldn't prevent companies from operating bans on heathens, we can support it. |
