Walter David Baker (Official Opposition House Leader; Progressive Conservative Party House Leader)
Progressive Conservative
Hon. Walter Baker (Nepean-Carleton):
Madam Speaker, I rise to move a motion which 1 hope will commend itself to the House and give effect to what I perceive to be a desire by members of all parties in this House for a declaration that "O Canada" be the national anthem of Canada.
I move, seconded by the hon. member for Annapolis Valley-Hants (Mr. Nowlan):
That Bill C-220. an act respecting the national anthem of Canada, standing in the name of the hon. member for Simcoe South, be called this day on orders of the day, and that, notwithstanding any Standing Order, the bill be considered at second reading, referred to the Committee of the Whole, and considered at third reading, and that no later than 4 p.m. this day all questions necessary to dispose of the said bill be put to the House.
Subtopic: NATIONAL ANTHEM
Sub-subtopic: DESIGNATION OF "O CANADA"-MOTION UNDER S O. 43
