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.”

“我荣幸地代表加拿大政府欢迎加拿大第30任总督玛丽·西蒙阁下。
她出生在魁北克省北部的努纳维克,毕生都在为身边的人工作。她孜孜不倦地倡导因纽特人的权利、文化、年轻人和环境,获得了无数荣誉,是第一个担任加拿大大使的因纽特人。
“在她杰出的职业生涯中,阁下一直致力于推动社会、经济和人权问题。她在加强北极地区人民之间的国家和国际联系方面发挥了主导作用。作为加拿大的总督和我国宪法和机构的管理者,我知道她将贡献她独特的经验和观点,以尊严和正直的态度,用加拿大的两种官方语言,代表加拿大国内外各种各样的人。我还相信,作为加拿大的总司令,她将努力支持加拿大武装部队的勇敢成员,他们为我国和我国人民的安全作出了巨大牺牲。
“我对这一时刻的历史性质感到鼓舞,因为我国继续接受我们集体过去的艰难现实。我知道,作为加拿大第一位土著总督,阁下将致力于帮助我们共同面对这些困难的事实,走共同的和解之路,并在所有称我们国家为家园的人之间架起桥梁。
“在这一天,我们还要向加拿大女王伊丽莎白二世陛下致敬,她69年来一直以优雅、尊严和智慧为英联邦及其人民服务。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·西蒙阁下接受服务,并向她表示最衷心的祝贺。我邀请所有加拿大人在我们国家向前迈出的这一重要一步中找到希望和灵感,并与我一起祝愿她一切顺利,因为她为我们国家最高和最古老的办事处带来了一个更公平、更公正和更公正的加拿大的愿景。”
