| Message | You surprise me Jack... why didn't you propose; 'Child labour is mandatory; all children must seek employment' I actually think there is value in some kids working at a young age, teaching them responsibilities and helping them mature for example, but it's too ambiguous a bill for me to vote yes on. |

| Message | What do you mean it's too ambiguous? Currently it is illegal for children to work. That is insane. I propose a compromise, that children be allowed to work, but with stricter safety and health standards. |

| Message | I think the PoC may mean that the title 'child labour' is too ambiguous in that there is no age selected as a minimum. That may possibly be what they mean. I could be wrong however. Although I do know that unless an age is stipulated this Party will be voting no. |

| Message | Children of all ages can work, why have an arbitrary age set by govt. fiat? |
