The spokesmen had five minutes each to answer the questions (see below), and if any time remained, to outline their party's general approach to the economy; after all had spoken, then questions & comments followed from the floor. 1. "Will you lower the company tax rate and/or personal tax rates? If so, when?"
2. "Will you set a cap on core Government spending as a percentage of GDP? If so, what would that cap be?"
3. "Will you commit to reducing the regulatory burden on businesses by ensuring new and existing legislation is subject to a Regulatory Responsibility Act?"
4. "Will you commit to work towards free trade agreements, and on what basis?"
