NDP shifts focus from labor strikes to abortion rights, sidetracking Conservative motion against the Liberals.

The NDP in Canada sidetracked a Conservative motion criticizing the Liberal government's handling of labor strikes by shifting the debate to abortion access. NDP MP Heather McPherson took control of the parliamentary agenda, focusing instead on Canada's global assistance for sexual and reproductive health rights. This move postponed the Conservative motion and set up a vote on the NDP's new topic after question period, with more opposition motions expected before the winter break.
