| Message | I would alter the language in the first clause. Some summer jobs take place on the weekends - the 40 hrs. per week ought to be expanded to include weekends. |
| Date | 01:41:22, July 22, 2015 CET | From | Telamonian Democratic Party | To | Debating the The Youth Employment Act |
| Message | We concur with the NRP. The only real change needed to this bill is to expand the 40 hrs. work week to cover weekend shifts under the summer job proposal. Other than this, the bill looks fine. |
| Date | 11:56:18, July 23, 2015 CET | From |  United Conservatives | To | Debating the The Youth Employment Act |
| Message | "a week" means all 7 days of the week so it includes weekends. |
