Official Report of Debates (Hansard)

COURT DECISION

Mr Bert Johnson (Perth): I'd like to present a petition to the Legislative Assembly of Ontario.

"Whereas communities strongly disagree with allowing women to go topless in public;

"We, the undersigned, petition the Legislative Assembly of Ontario as follows:

"To enact legislation to require women to wear tops in public places for the protection of our children, for public safety in general."

I'll sign it so it becomes an official record of the House.

COURT DECISION

Mr Steve Gilchrist (Scarborough East): I have another petition to the Legislature of Ontario. Again, pursuant to standing order 38(b), it's a petition signed by hundreds, in fact I think close to 500 residents, in my riding and elsewhere in Ontario, calling upon the government of Ontario to immediately enact legislation to prohibit women from being topless in public.

I'll affix my signature to make this part of the official record of the Legislature.
