Message | Mr Speaker, Given the wording if the proposed legislation it is difficult to determine whether or not this represents an improvement or reduction in the minimum wage. |
Date | 04:12:34, September 07, 2015 CET | From | Liberal Party of Hutori | To | Debating the Living Wage |
Message | Mr. Speaker We will point out for sake of fairness to our colleagues in the HNA, this is exactly why we make specific riders and articles within the Bill itself so that there is never any vagueness. However based on a cursory glance this would lower the minimum wage. Adam Wright Deputy Leader of the Conservative Party of Hutori Conservative Party House Leader |
