Appointment of the new Governor General of Canada

I mourn with all Canadians at this tragic time.

I join with all Canadians on this first National Day for Truth and Reconciliation

Nous avons le devoir de nous souvenir et d’honorer Ia mémoire de ceux qui ont servi vaillamment et qui ont tant donné ici, sur la crete de Vimy, et tout au long de la Premiere...

It is our duty to remember and honour those who served so valiantly and who gave so much here at Vimy Ridge and throughout the First World War.

I am delighted to offer all Canadians my best wishes and congratulations on the 150th anniversary of Confederation

C’est un plaisir pour moi de transmettre mes meilleurs voeux et mes félicitations aux Canadiens et Canadiennes à l’occasion du 150e anniversaire de la Confédération

Canadians have, by their own endeavours, built a country and society which is widely-admired across the world.

Prince Philip and I were shocked and saddened by the news of the wild fires that are causing such devastation to Fort McMurray

I can’t wait to see how Canada embraces the games and rises to the challenge of telling Chapter 3 of the Invictus story

The baton relay represents a calling together of people from every part of the Commonwealth.

Here, in the crucible of Canadian nationhood, we look forward to meeting many of you.

Votre réputation est aussi forte que légendaire.

Nous attendons avec impatience cet aventure.

To be here on Canada Day - a day of unity, a day of coming together as families, and as a nation - is even more special for us. ‬‪

Aujourd’hui, bien des années plus tard, j’éprouve toujours autant d’affection et d’admiration pour le Canada.

I hope that today will be a special and memorable time for each and every one of you.

I have watched with enormous admiration how Canada has grown and matured while remaining true to its history.

Among the millions who lost their lives in the Great War were many Canadians who came to Europe to fight for peace.

The Canadian Corps transformed Vimy Ridge from a symbol of despair into a source of inspiration.

While all Albertans — and all Canadians — value this history as a colourful account of the past, we also view it as a foundation for our present and future.

I have so many vivid memories and a tremendous sense of pride in being part of the Canadian family.
