Ontario Hansard - Thursday 20 November 1997


COURT DECISION

Mr Frank Klees (York-Mackenzie): I'm pleased to present a petition which was delivered to me from the Holland Marsh Christian Reform Church, and it reads as follows:

"Whereas the Ontario Court of Appeal has ruled that women have the lawful right to go topless in public; and

"Whereas the Liberal government of Canada has the power to change the Criminal Code to reinstate such public nudity as an offence;

"We, the undersigned, respectfully petition the government of Ontario to continue to urge the government of Canada to enact legislation to ban going topless in public places."

I affix my signature to it.
