NOTICE OF MOTIONS

Wednesday Next

39 Mr. Campbell to move --: Be it resolved that this House call upon the Government of Canada not to proceed with third reading of Bill C-18, which would establish a freeze in the level of representation of British Columbians in the House of Commons at a 1981 level, resulting in continued under representation, and a further sense of alienation among all the citizens of British Columbia; and do further harm to the feeling of national unity and pride.
