The Ontario Liberal government's second attempt to push through legislation to end the province's college strike on Friday did not get unanimous consent, but the bill was introduced and will be debated starting on Saturday. This means proceedings will go through the normal stages of readings and debate before a final vote is taken, likely later in the weekend. Ontario NDP Leader Andrea Horwath says she won't support any legislation that erodes striking faculty members' rights. "Our first priority is to get college students back in class on Monday morning and we are prepared to work all weekend to get this done," Brown said in a statement Friday.
