| Message | Madam Speaker, We have made our point clear before and will happily do it again: We do not support any government regulated minimum wage. This is should be taken care by the unions and employers, which would make a smarter and better minimum wage. Sarah Olson Minister of Trade and Industry Radical Alliance |

| Message | Madam Speaker, I wish to clarify my party's position, we most certainly do believe that there needs to be a minimum wage. However, we believe that the status quo is the best way to provide financial stability to Hutorian citizens. Charles Carmichael Party Leader Federalist Party |

| Message | Madam Speaker, I ask the Gentleman to not speak of things he knows nothing about. My party has defended the minimum wage time and time again in our time in this house. We have further made it a point to increase the minimum wage in the future. For this reason, we support this bill, solely with the intent of benefiting the Hutorian people. We still would like to clarify our strong opposition to the UltraNationalsit Party's policies, especially in regards to civil rights and foreign policy. |
