| Message | Mr. Speaker, The solution to low wages is to halt the influx of low-skilled Oegukin (OOC: non-Gao) immigrants, not a minimum wage will price workers out of jobs. Jeong Jin Li (chairman) |

| Message | Mr Speaker, we consider this piece of legislation wholly misguided, for it makes labour unnecessarily costly, which is a disastrous effect in a time when the economy is in shatters. YANG Sung-nam DUP Leader |
| Date | 20:25:00, April 13, 2015 CET | From | Coalición | To | Debating the Living Wage Bill |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank the Septembrists for their support. We are delighted that this legislation will pass and that the living standards of millions will be improved dramatically as a result. Businesses make more than enough profit to afford this move. Cho Do-Sun, Co-leader (PP) |

| Message | Mr Speaker, I doubt that the Watermelon Alliance has the appropriate amount of economic insight to determine whether a business is making "enough profit". Especially during a time when the economy is not in good shape, such a statement is as cynical as it is delusional. YANG Sung-nam DUP Leader |

| Message | Señor Presidente, A living wage would be a victory for human dignity and the value of an honest day's work, and it would further alleviate the economic hardship for many Dankukin in all communities. We are proud to support this proposal made by the Coalición Sandia, and are disappointed in all those who would keep denying hard-working Dankukin their due. Dario Prieto Minister of Trade and Industry |
