Use the information below to answer the next THREE questions:

Speaker 1: The government needs to stop selling our utility companies to private individuals. They are going to raise the prices and cost us more money. The government should own them all in order to reduce our costs.

Speaker 2: We as taxpayers need to stop funding the CBC Network. I do not watch CBC and should not have to pay for them to stay in business. It should be sold to an American company that can better finance it.

Speaker 3: I think it was a great idea for the government to sell Petro Canada and Air Canada to private investors. The government is there to protect us from criminals and invasions, not to get involved in our economy.

Speaker 4: I believe the government should own and control some industries such as utility companies, but they should sell others such as Canada Post to private investors.
