Mr. Gowerasked the Minister of Labour if he will consider incorporating in future legislation provisions designed to ensure that industrial employees shall be entitled to receive longer periods of notice of termination of employment than is at present the case, such periods being related to the extent of their service for the particular public authority, company, firm, or person giving such notice; and if he will make a statement.
