The motion asks the government to apologize to the people of Hamilton for approving U.S. Steel's takeover of Stelco in 2007, make public the commitments of U.S. Steel made under the Investment Canada Act, and guarantee the pension benefits of the company's 1,500 employees and pensioners if it goes bankrupt.
The motion does not concern a question that is outside federal jurisdiction. It does not clearly violate the Constitution Act. It does not concern a question that is substantially the same as one already voted on by the House of Commons. It does not concern a question that is currently on the order paper or notice paper as an item of government business.
