Cazeneuve: "Does the government have a plan for the economy..."

CCU Spokesperson on Economics Bernard Cazeneuve MP gave a speech in the Chamber today, asking the government about what they plan to do if Hastiga and Veldunium split.
"Mr Speaker, I am sure the honorable Finance Secretary will be aware that Veldunium has the largest Ship Production industry in the Empire and Uranium Mining with significant contributions in near enough all sectors; and Hastiga has the 2nd largest GDP with contributions to all parts of the economy. So, I am sure the Finance Secretary will agree with me my my party that both states provides for a strong economy and indeed, without them we will have to make amends and I'm sorry to say, but the Socialists plan to spend, spend, spend will have to go - we can't afford it now, we certainly won't be able to afford it post-split, if indeed the states wish to go their ways.
Mr Speaker, does the government have a plan for the economy if their political point scoring foils? If the egg falls on their face, and this referendum rocks the boat, drifting the Empire away, the Socialist Party must firstly take full responsibility and then provide an economic plan. But the people need to know now if there is an economic plan. They need to now right now if the you will be able to carry out the Socialist manifesto if we split.
We are looking at, Mr Speaker, around losing 911 billion and that's just raw figures. That's around a 12 per cent cut from the armed forces. That's cut to the education budget. That's a reduction to social programs and local government funding. My constituents are scared, the people are scared and frankly, this government is not providing any reassurance.
Surely the Finance Secretary could provide the house and the people with clear plans."
