moved for leave to introduce Bill C-213, an act respecting the designation of a Louis Riel Day and revoking his conviction of August 1, 1885.
Mr. Speaker, once again, for the fourth time since I have been a member of this House, I am introducing a bill to revoke the conviction for high treason of Louis Riel on August 1, 1885.
This time, however, the bill contains something new, which is to allow the designation of a Louis Riel Day in order to commemorate his memory everywhere in Canada on November 16 every year.
(Motions deemed adopted, bill read the first time and ordered to be printed)
