| Message | I take issue with Articles 3 and 5 of this omnibus bill. I believe the government needs to set standards for minimum wage and working hours because it will ensure that work places do not take advantage of its employees. I propose either removing these articles from the bill or separating them, so I can vote for the others. |

| Message | OOC: The party that proposed the bill is inactive and can't pull the omnibus back. Also, after a bill has been submitted to voting, it cannot be pulled back for editing or changes. While it's in the "debate" phase, modifications can be made and the bill can be removed, but not after submitting it to voting. |
