- Prologue
- Moved by: Rev. J. Isbister

- The debate, begun on Tuesday, June 20 (pages 53-56) on the resolution in support of the Innu, was resumed.

- 2) urge the Government of Canada to settle Innu and Inuit land claims in Labrador and Quebec.
- Canon Ryan rose on a point of order questioning whether the original motion had been referred. The minutes of June 20, 1989, morning session, revealed that the resolution to refer was defeated and the motion was amended (i.e. that it be divided into two separate parts.)
- The mover and seconder asked that the wording be modified. The Chairperson ruled that this request was 'out of order' and that the two sections of the resolution would be treated as separate resolutions.
- That this General Synod oppose the NATO low-flying testing and related training over lands inhabited and claimed by Innu and Inuit and call upon the Federal Government to stop all military manoeuvers or training, in or over that area.
