NUCLEAR ARMAMENTS

CALL FOR PLEBISCITE ON DISARMAMENT TO BE HELD BY
MUNICIPALITIES—MOTIGN UNDER S.O, 43

Mr. Neil Young (Beaches): Madam Speaker, I rise under
the provisions of Standing Order 43. In view of the decision by
Ottawa City Council to hold a plebiscite on nuclear disarma-
ment at the next municipal election, and in view of the fact
that a growing number of Canadians and world leaders are
deeply concerned over the prospects of a new arms race that
will escalate the growth of nuclear weapons, I move, seconded
by the hon, member for Oshawa (Mr. Broadbent):

That this House call on all of Canada’s local governments to include a
question on leac disar: on ballots that will be used to elect municipal
and regional gover in the ing year, and that the results of this
plebiscite be tabulated and forwarded to Mr. A. R. Menzies, Canada’s Ambassa-
dor for Disarmament.
