贾斯廷•特鲁多总理 今天发表以下声明,欢迎加拿大新任总督、尊敬的玛丽•西蒙 (Mary Simon)阁下:

 “我很荣幸代表加拿大政府,欢迎加拿大第 30 任总督,尊敬的玛丽•西蒙阁下。

“西蒙阁下出生于魁北克北部的努纳维克,她一直都在为周围她所代表的人们工作。作为因纽特人的权利和文化、年轻人以及环境的不懈倡导者,她赢得了无数荣誉,并成为是第一位出任加拿大大使职位的因纽特人。

 “在她杰出的职业生涯中,总督阁下在推进社会、经济和人权问题上展现出坚定的承诺。在加强北极地区人民(不论是国内还是国际)之间的联系方面发挥了主导作用。作为加拿大总督和我们国家宪法和机制的监管者,我知道她将以她独特的经验、她在国内和国际上代表所有加拿大人的多元化之独特视角、以尊严和诚信、以加拿大两种官方语言等方式为此做出贡献。我也相信,作为加拿大的最高统帅,她将努力支持加拿大武装部队勇敢的军人们,这些军人为我们国家和人民的安全和保障做出了巨大的牺牲。

 “在我们的国家继续直面我们集体历史中的艰难现实之时,我为今天具有历史意义的这一时刻而感到鼓舞。我深知,作为加拿大的第一位原住民总督,阁下将致力于帮助我们共同面对这些艰难的真相,携手走上和解的共同道路,并架起沟通之桥梁,汇聚所有在我们这个国家安居乐业的人们。

 “在此特殊的日子,我们也向加拿大女王伊丽莎白二世陛下致敬,她以慈悲、尊严和智慧为英联邦国家及其人民服务了 69 年。这是女王陛下自 1952 年即位以来第 13 次任命加拿大总督。

“我感谢尊敬的玛丽•西蒙阁下愿意担当此任为民服务,并向她表示最衷心的祝贺。在我们国家向前迈进的重要一步,我邀请所有加拿大人从这里感受希望和鼓舞,并与我一起向她致以美好的祝福,她将给我们国家这个最高、最古老的职位带来建设更公平、更平等、更公正之加拿大的愿景。”

 

Statement by the Prime Minister to welcome Canada’s 30th Governor General, Her Excellency the Right Honourable Mary Simon

The Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, today issued the following statement to welcome Canada’s new Governor General, Her Excellency the Right Honourable Mary Simon:

“On behalf of the Government of Canada, it is my honour and privilege to welcome Canada’s 30th Governor General, Her Excellency the Right Honourable Mary Simon.

“Born in Nunavik, in northern Quebec, Her Excellency has spent a lifetime working on behalf of those around her. A tireless advocate for Inuit rights and culture, young people, and the environment, she has received countless honours and was the first Inuk to hold a position as a Canadian ambassador.

“Throughout her distinguished career, Her Excellency has shown a deep commitment to advancing social, economic, and human rights issues. She has played a leading role in strengthening the ties between the people of the Arctic regions, both nationally and internationally. As Canada’s Governor General and steward of our country’s Constitution and institutions, I know that she will contribute her unique experience and perspective to representing Canadians in all their diversity, both here at home and abroad, with dignity and integrity, and in both of Canada’s official languages. I am also confident that, as Canada’s Commander-in-chief, she will work to support the brave members of the Canadian Armed Forces who make tremendous sacrifices for the safety and security of our country and our people.

“I am inspired by the historic nature of this moment, as our country continues to come to terms with the difficult realities of our collective past. I know that, as Canada’s first Indigenous Governor General, Her Excellency will devote herself to helping us as we confront these difficult truths together, walk the shared path of reconciliation, and build bridges between all those who call our country home.

“On this day, we also pay tribute to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, Queen of Canada, who for 69 years has served the Commonwealth and its peoples with grace, dignity, and wisdom. This is the 13th appointment of a Governor General of Canada by Her Majesty since she acceded to the throne in 1952.

“I thank Her Excellency the Right Honourable Mary Simon for accepting to serve and offer her my most heartfelt congratulations. I invite all Canadians to find hope and inspiration in this important step forward for our country, and to join me in wishing her well as she brings her vision for a fairer, more equitable, and more just Canada to our country’s highest and oldest office.”
