Thank you for the opportunity to comment.

Trying to privatize a natural resource totally violates the whole principle that monopolization and efforts to conspire to monopolize (or to price fix when a monopoly is not existent) are illegal. There are laws against this type of thing. But this would be far worse than a monopoly as there is only one resource source and so only one possible merchant. How can there ever be any market place competition to ensure that pricing is fair? This is not a scenario to apply traditional marketplace structures! And to make it so that the people continue to carry existing and future capital debt with no obligation on the part of the stakeholders to take on and pay down this debt with collected revenue is just ludicrous! The people should not still be holden to the capital debts through their taxes while 100% of revenue goes to the stake holders. In what universe is that ever just?

The passage of Bill 60 was wrong and a flagrant abuse of power! Bill 98 should be withdrawn and Bill 68 repealed.

I feel that this is an example of something that should never fall under parliamentary procedure without the public involvement. Some things should fall into the realm of needing a referendum with a vast majority decision to proceed, if even appropriate. I do not feel that any natural resource should ever fall under any marketplace structure if it results in a monopoly.

Thank you for reading through.
