Mr. Speaker, the work stoppage in west coast ports has dangerous implications for the economy of western Canada and therefore legislation is urgently required to reopen the ports.
Therefore I move, pursuant to Standing Order 53:
That the 48 hours notice be waived in order to permit the Minister of Labour immediately to introduce a bill entitled an act respecting the supervision of longshoring and related operations at west coast ports and,
That the House not adjourn this day except pursuant to a motion by a minister of the crown.
