CBC Radio coverage of the National Citizenship Ceremony held at the Supreme Court in Ottawa to mark the passage of the Canadian Citizenship Act. The ceremony consists of speeches, the awarding of certificates of Canadian citizenship to persons born in Canada or naturalized citizens, and the swearing-in of a group of new Canadians.~The ceremony begins with the singing of 'O Canada' by a choir, a speech in French and English by Paul Martin, the Minister of Health and Welfare, and comments by the Chief Justice of Canada, Thibaudeau Rinfret, in English and French. Next, 12 Canadians representing the 9 provinces and various racial gropus are awarded citizenship certificates. Each of them is called by name. Secretary of State Colin Gibson makes a speech. The Chief Justice then administers the oath of allegiance to the new Canadians while reporter Stephen Dale provides brief profiles of them, mentioning their country of origin, the date of their arrival in Canada, their profession and family life. Among the people mentioned are: Mrs. Stanley Mynarski, mother of Victoria Cross winner, the late Andrew Mynarski; Guiseppe Agostini, father of composer Lucio Agostini; and photographer Yousef Karsh. The choir sings "This Canada of Ours", accompanied by Dominion Carillonneur Robert Donnell. There is a speech by Prime Minister William Lyon Mackenzie King. The choir sings "O God, Our Help in Ages Past". Recorded music follows the conclusion of the ceremony.
