Madam Speaker, I rise on a point of order. Being a rookie in the House, I am not too sure if I am doing the right thing. You can help me if I am not.
I seek unanimous consent for a motion that I would like to move at this time. Under Standing Order 52 I move:
That this House do now adjourn for the purpose of discussing the rail strike.
The strike now includes the longshoremen. In turn it is having a devastating effect on exporters and farmers throughout the nation. People are being laid off by the hundreds at this very moment. This is an emergency and I ask for unanimous consent to debate it at this time.
