| Message | Mr. Speaker, First, I advise the RPP to follow by the parliamentary etiquette before making an argument: "Article. I - Decorum III. Representatives may only be addressed in the third-person." "Article. III - Debate I. All debate entries must be submitted in the format specified below: "Mr Speaker" or "Madam Speaker" or "Members of the Parliament". (debate entry) John Rutania, (occupation, e.g., Representative)."

| Message | Mr. Speaker, The minimum wage system doesn't necessarily need to be regulated by the government. The market based economic settings can adjust the wage system by itself. Abolishing the government-run minimum wage system can lead the businesses that are barred from hiring workers due to high labor expenses to employ such workers with great ease. David Reilly, Leader of the Conservative Party. |

| Random fact: Did you know you can change the official name of your nation? All you need to do is draw up a new name that is in accordance with the Nation Renaming Guide, pass a bill proposing the name change with a two-thirds majority and then post a request to Moderation on the "Renaming Requests" thread. You can change city and region names in this way too. |

The world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children." - Dwight D. Eisenhower |
