RE: BILINGUALISM

At the recent Annual Convention of the Canadian Junior Chamber in
St. John's, Newfoundland, our General Assembly unanimously supported the attached

Resolution.

While we realize that the "Language Issue" has created a great degree
of debate across the country, we would like to take this opportunity to go on
record as saying that as Canadians, we believe that a stronger effort in recognizing
the distinctive duality of Canada is required. While our opponents might suggest
that uni-lingualism prevides retribution for perceived wrong doings of the past
we prefer to look to the future in anticipation of a stronger and more united
Canada. We heartily encourage your Council to actively support our resoluticn
and confirm their faith in a multicultural Canada.

Should you wish to discuss this document, we encourage you to contact
the undersigned and we would be most pleased to send a Geleaate to address your

organization in person.

Respectfully submitted,
