SÉANCE DE L'APRÈS-MIDI

13 H 30

With unanimous consent,

Mr Harris moved, seconded by Mrs McLeod and Mr Rae,

That this Legislature and the people of Ontario affirm that we value and cherish Canada, and Quebec's distinctive character within our country. In partnership, Canadians have built a country that many people regard as the very best in the world. We have social, cultural and economic strengths that are the envy of virtually all nations.

Ontarians seek change in the federal system. We have demonstrated this commitment to change in the past and continue to do so. The Status Quo is not acceptable. Ontario will be a strong ally for change within the Canadian federation. We agree that we need a more functional, harmonious country, and a more flexible and decentralized federation.

This legislature and the people of Ontario appeal to the people of Quebec, with an open heart and generosity of spirit, to remain a part of this country and to work together for change and progress within Canada.

Following remarks by Mr Harris, Mrs McLeod and Mr Rae, the motion was adopted unanimously by the House.
