Words to say to Minister Chan:

“All of the Algonquin First Nations have invoked their constitutional
right to consultation and accommodation regarding the imminent destruction
of provincially significant cultural resources in the South March
Highlands.  The Honour of the Crown is attached and it is your duty under
the emergency powers of the Ontario Heritage Act to issue a Ministerial
Order requiring a new archaeological study be done by an independent
agency such as  the National Capital Commission.  This matter is URGENT
and in the interests of the 14,500 citizens of Ontario who support the
Algonquin and who, in addition to me, demand that you protect all heritage
in Ontario.”
