Mr John C. Cleary (Cornwall): On a point of order, Mr Speaker: On August 27 I read a petition to the Legislative Assembly regarding the court decision on women going topless in Ontario. I would like to take the opportunity to make a correction. The Hansard notes read the petition had 130 signatures while in fact it 1,030 signatures. Thank you.

Mr Bob Wood (London South): I have a petition signed by 200 people. It reads as follows:

"Whereas the courts have 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 pass a bill empowering municipalities to enact bylaws governing dress code and to continue to urge the government of Canada to pass legislation to reinstate such partial nudity as an offence."
