| Message | We'd be in favor of 70, but any increase at all from the absurd age of 57 is needed. |
| Date | 01:07:59, March 20, 2007 CET | From | Social Democrats | To | Debating the Retirement Age Increase Act |
| Message | 70 is much much much too high. People tend to be sick at that time, which will only be a burden to the companies as they will have to pay for sick leave instead of the state. We suggest it somewhere between 60 and 63. |
| Date | 01:09:32, March 20, 2007 CET | From | Party of Moderates | To | Debating the Retirement Age Increase Act |
| Message | Well, if they're really sick, then they can claim disability. As for what my idea is, I'm voting for 65. Any increase to that point would be welcome, though. |
| Date | 01:27:32, March 20, 2007 CET | From | Social Democrats | To | Debating the Retirement Age Increase Act |
| Message | Let us compromise to 63. |
| Date | 01:32:44, March 20, 2007 CET | From | Communist Party of Aldegar | To | Debating the Retirement Age Increase Act |
| Message | We will support 63. |
| Date | 01:34:03, March 20, 2007 CET | From | Party of Moderates | To | Debating the Retirement Age Increase Act |
| Message | So, we're in agreement. Alright, the PM shall change this bill and the Grand Council Improvement Bill appropriately. |
