The federal government remains open to crossbench amendments to legislation reinstating a building industry watchdog.

Liberal Democrat David Leyonhjelm has proposed an eight-year sunset clause for a restored Australian Building and Construction Commission as parliament prepares to debate government legislation from April 18.

"I am considering all of them (crossbench amendments) as a package to see how some may impact on others," Employment Minister Michaelia Cash said in Sydney on Tuesday.
