This is jaw-droppingly stupid.

Because he feels that some children have an unfair advantage, instead of encouraging the poor children to do better, he wants to bring the “privileged” down to their level.

Socialism is a catastrophe.

As I said -— if government gets involved in creating “fairness”, it usually ends up going amok.

We of course know that in the name of “fairness” one isn’t allowed to work more than 35 hours a week. If the job requires 40 or more hours of work for instance, the company should then hire someone else to make up for the 5 or more hours the work requires ( all in the name of “fairness”, so that others get the chance to have a job ).

Furthermore, employees may not work for more than 4.5 hours without a break.

Breaks, lasting a minimum of 20 minutes, must be granted to the employees at least every 6 hours. All workers must be allowed a daily rest period of 11 consecutive hours (9 hours in certain cases depending on collective agreements).

The minimum weekly rest period is 35 consecutive hours (11 hours plus a 24 consecutive hour rest period per week). There are waivers for some activities (machine operators, seasonal workers). Sundays are, in general, considered rest days.
