Oration rewritten for part of Canada (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ontario

'part of canada' is the definition.
('Ontario' is part of 'canada')

'oration rewritten' is the wordplay.
'rewritten' indicates an anagram.
'oration' anagrammed gives 'ONTARIO'.

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for ontario that I've seen before include "provincial area" , "city" , "Canadian province and Great Lake" , "Province of central Canada" , "one of the provinces" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
