The Speaker addressed the House as follows:- |
Le Président s'adresse à l'Assemblée comme suit:- |
|
Later today I will be distributing letters to all Members referencing a special event taking place in the Legislative Precinct commencing next week. Members are aware that we have, during this sitting period, been using the Province's first mace. This is because our current mace is out for a much needed cleaning and replating in preparation for its role in our "Mine to Mace" project. Some time ago, DeBeers Canada sought to donate two diamonds extracted from Ontario's first diamond mine to the Legislative Assembly and the concept of mounting these diamonds on our mace was accepted. The design for the diamond setting in the mace will include one rough and one polished stone. The letter I am sending each of you provides more extensive detail of this "Mine to Mace" project and identifies the numerous organizations who have generously donated time and effort to it. This is an especially exciting project for the Assembly because the diamonds are to be cut on site here in the Legislative precinct. Commencing Monday in the North Heritage room adjacent to the Speaker's office a master diamond cutter will be cutting and polishing one of the diamonds. This will mark the very first occasion in which a diamond has ever been cut in the Province of Ontario. Anyone who is interested is invited to drop by the North Heritage Room next week and view this historic event in progress. A camera will also be installed so that you can get a close up view of the work being done. Once the diamond has been cut and polished and is ready to be set, it will be laser etched with the number ONT-1-00001, signifying this finished stone as the first diamond to be mined, cut and polished in Ontario. The stone will also be etched with the latin motto found on the Legislative Assembly's coat of arms: audi alteram partem. By way of digression, I urge all Members to take note of and commit to memory the translation of that motto which is "hear the other side". Upon completion of this project, there will be a ceremony in which we will formally retake possession of the mace which will now also hold evidence of the ancient geological history of Northern Ontario. |
