Prime Minister announces The Queen’s approval of Canada’s next Governor General
贾斯廷•特鲁多（Justin Trudeau）总理今天宣布，根据他的建议，伊丽莎白二世女王陛下已批准任命玛丽•西蒙（Mary Simon）为加拿大下一任总督。
作为总督，西蒙女士将是女王陛下在加拿大的代表。她将成为加拿大创立联邦以来的第30任总督，也是女王在位69年期间任命的第13任总督。
在她卓越的职业生涯中，西蒙女士一直坚持不懈倡导因纽特人的权利和文化，以及所有原住民人民的权利。四十多年来，她担任过各种高层领导职位，包括马克维克企业（Makivik Corporation）总裁，在任该职期间她通过实施詹姆斯湾和魁北克北部协议帮助保护和促进因纽特人的权利。她还担任过两届因纽特人北极圈会议（现称为因纽特人北极圈委员会）主席和因纽特人Tapiriit Kanatami主席。
作为第一任加拿大北极圈事务大使，西蒙女士在加强北极地区人民在国内和国际上的联系方面发挥了主导作用，包括创建北极理事会。她还是北极儿童和青年基金会的创始人，并曾担任加拿大驻丹麦大使。
此次总督遴选是通过“下一任总督选举咨询小组”的建议而进行的。该小组的任务是审议并提交一份杰出加拿大人的候选名单，供总理考虑填补该职位。

Prime Minister announces The Queen’s approval of Canada’s next Governor General
July 6, 2021 Ottawa, Ontario Prime Minister’s Office
The Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, today announced that on his recommendation, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II has approved the appointment of Mary Simon as the next Governor General of Canada.
As Governor General, Ms. Simon will be the representative of Her Majesty The Queen in Canada. She will be Canada’s 30th Governor General since Confederation, and the 13th Governor General appointed by Her Majesty during her 69 years on the throne.
Throughout her distinguished career, Ms. Simon has been a tireless advocate for Inuit rights and culture, and the rights of all Indigenous peoples. Over four decades, she has held various senior leadership positions, including President of Makivik Corporation, where she helped to protect and promote Inuit rights through the implementation of the James Bay and Northern Quebec Agreement. She also served two terms as President of the Inuit Circumpolar Conference, now known as the Inuit Circumpolar Council, and as President of Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami.
As the first Canadian Ambassador for Circumpolar Affairs, Ms. Simon played a leading role in strengthening the ties between the people of the Arctic regions nationally and internationally, including through the creation of the Arctic Council. She is also the founder of the Arctic Children and Youth Foundation, and has served as the Ambassador of Canada to Denmark.
The selection was informed through the advice of the Advisory Group on the Selection of the Next Governor General. The group was mandated to deliberate and submit a shortlist of outstanding Canadians for the Prime Minister’s consideration to fill the office.
Quote
“I am very pleased to announce that Her Majesty The Queen has graciously approved the appointment of Mary Simon as the next Governor General of Canada. Ms. Simon has dedicated her life to advancing social, economic, and human rights issues for Canadian Inuit and Indigenous peoples, and I am confident that she will serve Canadians and promote our shared values with dedication and integrity. Through this appointment, we are ensuring that Canada is represented by someone who exemplifies the very best of our country. I also join Canadians in thanking His Excellency the Rt. Hon. Richard Wagner, for serving as the Administrator of the Government of Canada the past few months.”
The Rt. Hon. Justin Trudeau, Prime Minister of Canada
