ORDERS OF THE DAY

ORDRE DU JOUR

Opposition Day

Jour de l'opposition

Mr Hampton moved,

M. Hampton propose,

Whereas the events at Ipperwash Provincial Park in September 1995, resulting in the death of Dudley George, remain the subject of widespread concern in Ontario; and

Whereas the role of police, government officials and others in these events has never been fully explained; and

Whereas various court proceedings have raised further concerns while leaving many important questions unanswered;

Be it therefore resolved that this House believes an independent inquiry under the Public Inquiries Act into the events at Ipperwash, including all government discussions and decisions leading up to those events, will be essential for bringing out the full truth surrounding this tragic confrontation.

A debate arising, after some time, the motion was lost on the following division:-
