The hon. member for St. Albert has raised a point of order with respect to the validity of the notice given by the Minister of Labour pursuant to Standing Order 78(3) of the Standing Orders of the House. I would point out to him that the wording of the standing order says:

There is no reference to the fact that the notice must be given during the time for Government Orders, although it is clear that the motion that is subsequently made based on the notice must be made during the time for the consideration of Government Orders. Accordingly, I believe the notice given by the Minister of Labour is valid.
