The next petition relates to enacting legislation providing for a referendum of the people binding upon Parliament to accept or reject two official languages, English and French, for the government and people of Canada. The acceptance or rejection of the proposed amendments would be determined by number one, a majority vote of the total votes cast in the whole of Canada together with two, a majority vote in a majority of provinces with the territories being given the status of one province. I concur with this petition.
In the House of Commons on December 7th, 1994. See this statement in context.
