Mr Gregory S. Sorbara (York Centre): In agreeing to this motion for adjournment of the House, on behalf of my leader and my party I would like to take the opportunity to wish all those citizens and residents of the province who are celebrating the Jewish New Year a prosperous, peaceful and spiritually uplifting celebration and the most wonderful of new years.

Mr Ernie L. Eves (Parry Sound): On behalf of my colleagues in our party I would like to extend again our recognition of the very important holiday for the people of the Jewish faith -- Rosh Hashanah. I would also like to compliment all of us in this chamber, all different sides of the chamber, because I think it certainly indicates how society in Ontario has indeed changed today. In particular, I would like to note the member for Willowdale and the member for Mississauga North, who made their viewpoint with respect to this matter quite clear, and I think rightly so. I think it's a credit to the government that it has listened to that request.

The Speaker: Is it the pleasure of the House that Mr Cooke's motion pass? Carried.

This House stands adjourned until 1:30 of the clock this Wednesday.

The House adjourned at 1337.
