Hon. John C. Crosbie (St. John's West):

Madam Speaker, 1 rise under the same standing order on a matter of urgent and pressing necessity. In view of the provision made in the estimates for 1980-81, as announced in the budget speech of December 11, for $50 million to initiate new measures to stimulate employment and economic development in eastern Canada, and since $25 million was to be made available to Fisheries Canada with $40 million allocated for projects of the small craft harbours branch during 1980, I move, seconded by the hon. member for St. John's East (Mr. McGrath):

That this House direct the government to confirm the additional $25 million to fisheries with $14 million additional to small crafts harbours branch for important wharf, dredging, slipway and other necessary construction work on facilities for the fishermen of eastern Canada, and specifically that plans already announced for dredging in Petty harbour, wharf repairs and reconstruction at Renews, Admiral's Beach, Merasheen, St. Vincent's, Bay Bulls, St. Bride's, Point Lance and St. Shott's, all important inshore fishing communities in the district of St. John's West, be commenced immediately.

Madam Speaker:

Such a motion requires the unanimous consent of the House. Is there unanimous consent?

Agreed.

Mr. Douglas Fisher (Mississauga North):

Madam Speaker, I rise under the provisions of Standing Order 43 on a matter of urgent and pressing necessity. I refer to the daily threat facing thousands of people resulting from the refusal by the Canadian Pacific Railway to instal simple, basic safety devices called hotbox detectors on its London to Toronto track. Every day CPR transports deadly and inflammable gases on this track. We have already experienced one massive derailment in Mississauga. These devices are not required by regulation nor are they foolproof, but if they had been in place last November, the train crew might have had a vital extra warning that a derailment was about to occur.

I therefore move, seconded by the hon. member for Belle-chasse (Mr. Garant):

That this House deplores this threat posed by CPR's lack of proper safety signalling devices; that CPR be directed to cease the transportation of deadly and inflammable gases on this route until it instals hotbox detectors, and that CPR be directed to start the installation of these hotbox detectors at once.

Madam Speaker:

Such a motion requires the unanimous consent of the House. Is there unanimous consent?

Agreed.

No.

Mr. Cyril Keeper (Winnipeg-St. James):

Madam Speaker, I rise under the provisions of Standing Order 43 on a matter of urgent and pressing necessity. Whereas there is strong and mounting public opposition to the Pacific Western Airlines application for hangar space in the south end of Winnipeg International Airport, and whereas former Liberal transport minister Otto Lang accepted the recommendations of a departmental study calling for such development to take place, only further northwest, I move, seconded by the hon. member for Winnipeg North Centre (Mr. Knowles):

That the Minister of Transport back the decision taken by the regional air transport administration to reject the PWA application.

Madam Speaker:

Such a motion requires the unanimous consent of the House. Is there unanimous consent?

Agreed.

No.
