| Message | It will only lead to job losses |
| Date | 23:40:21, May 28, 2008 CET | From | Lodamun Libertarian Party | To | Debating the Fund our library resources |
| Message | Its obvious the majority of the parties here dont care about the workers who will lose there jobs when the company they work for lose its government contract and might possible face bankrupcy |

| Message | You said yourself, the majority, which makes you the minority, which in turns makes your statement wrong or not right. |
| Date | 14:57:10, May 29, 2008 CET | From | Lodamun Libertarian Party | To | Debating the Fund our library resources |
| Message | How can that make the statement wrong? Please provide some logic |
| Date | 20:37:40, May 29, 2008 CET | From | United Republics Party | To | Debating the Fund our library resources |
| Message | The government will continue to honor the contracts, however when they expire, the new system will be used to fund libraries. |
| Date | 23:47:16, May 29, 2008 CET | From | The Liberal Party | To | Debating the Fund our library resources |
| Message | Upon passage of this law, the contracts are not valid but some reparations (money) is going to be given to those companies who lost the contracts. |
| Date | 05:04:02, May 30, 2008 CET | From | United Republics Party | To | Debating the Fund our library resources |
| Message | The contracts are still valid. If there was a provision in the contract allowing for early termination (which there likely is) that's one thing, but the passage of this law does not invalidate contracts. |
| Date | 05:33:58, May 31, 2008 CET | From | The Liberal Party | To | Debating the Fund our library resources |
| Message | That is what I meant. Most contracts have an early termination clause, which makes the government pay reparations, which is what is going to be done. |
