Over 4700 cartadians
support official piedge
Dear editor:
As you know, 1 intro
duce(' Bill C-302, a
Private Members' Rill,.
whichwould adopt an
official pledge of alle-
giance to the Canadian
Flag.
Since theintroduction
of the legislation last June,
the response has, been
overwhelming. Over 450
municipal councils, repre-
senting communities in
• every province and territo7
ry in Canada, have passed
resolutions of support. As
well, almost 4,7000
Canadians,l living 'in 418
different communities
have also written, called,
• signed petitions} or have
offered their ow'n version
cif a pledge of allegiance.
` Several 'school boards
have also passed resolu-
'tions of support. '
Canladianshave been
• pledging'` allegiance to. our
flag in _a variety of ways,
using• different versions,
for *years. I have. receiyed
letters from a number of
people informing me of
the:'words that they used,.
or: continue to use, in. vari
itis pledges. My Rill
would adopt an official
pledge of allegiance, one
'that tan bel used I.by ,all.

.
Canadians in classrooms,
before meetings,or wher-
ever the flag is prominent.
The idea of an official
pledge of allegiance came
to me from a constituent,
Joyce Hammond who
believes that reciting the
pledge wouldgive
Canadians "roots and..a
sense, of belonging." f
agree, and '1 invite your
readers to send me thele
ideas, as many have in the
past, to Ropm 152,

1 thank Canadians for
the support that they have
shown to this initiative.
An official pledge of alle-
giance, in the view of
many, would .be . a wel-
come addition to`• our
pationaF, unity.
