| Message | Madam Speaker, the Hutorian Conservatives could support Article 1 of this reform. We were planning to bring such a law before this House soon and we will act to implement it if there is sufficient support from other parties in this House? |

| Message | Madam Speaker, The minimum wage must also be raised in order to make the salary cap more effective. Hovering over the poverty line undoubtedly causes a lot of anxiety and insecurity for many families who work hard and deserve much better. - Wilma Rollins MP, Leader |
