of our society draws encouragement from the basic
principles of love; the equality of man and peace
that are our shared inheritage. ;
I believe these are the benchmarks of
the compassionate society we have created here in
Ontario through the enlightened partnership of
many peoples and many traditions.
^Season's Greetings
TOKIWA'S
I think our success at the recent
Constitutional Conference reflects'the basic regard
we have for one another and our capacity to work
towards solutions that are uniquely Canadian. That
accord reflects a new maturity, a new determina—
bion to build, a society in which all share in
this nation's prosperity and promise.
It-is' in this spirit that I extend.to all
of you the very,best wishes for a happy Christmas
with your families and friends and every.good wish
for a rewarding New Year.
