Original Toronto Star caption: Debate goes on in the Legislature's all-night session; with some parliamentarians catching a nap in their lounge. Harry Worton (L-Wellington South) dozes in a chair in the early hours of today. The Legislature was to have adjourned last night for its Christmas recess; but New Democrats charged the Conservative government with trying to force through legislation in closing hours. New Democrat members forced votes; prolonged debates; interrupted and obstructed.
