Pursuant to Standing Order 81(14), it is my duty to inform the House of the motion to be considered tomorrow during the consideration of the business of supply.
That the House acknowledge the inadequacy of the assistance plan for the clothing and textile industries which was announced by the federal government following the closure of six plants in Huntingdon, and that it ask the government to further elaborate with regard to the following elements: the use of safeguards provided for in trade agreements, the implementation of measures to encourage the use of Quebec--and Canadian-made textiles and the creation of a program to assist older workers.
This motion, standing in the name of the hon. member for Joliette, is votable. Copies of the motion are available at the Table.
It being 11:05 a.m. the House will now proceed to the consideration of private members' business as listed on today's order paper.
