Motion 6 would have allowed the Liberals to end debate on bills anytime they chose to and push it straight to the vote, in effect it would allow the Liberals to muzzle the opposition parties.

Quote:
Late Tuesday, LeBlanc filed notice of a motion that, if adopted, would let Trudeau's cabinet extend sitting hours in the House until a minister or parliamentary secretary decides to adjourn proceedings, something that would be "deemed adopted without debate or amendment."
In effect, this move, referred to as motion six, would allow Liberals to control Commons debate. The tactic followed days of acrimony as Trudeau's government struggled to advance priority legislation.
