Season's Greetings
Jólakveðja
Alþjóðlegt ár friðarins hefur nú næstum
runnið sitt skeið. Nú, þegar við lítum til
baka, þá er það áfram von okkar að
áframhald verði — að friður og samvinna
muni áfram ríkja.
Kanadíska þjóðin, eins og áður, treystir
fjöskyldu — og samfélagsböndin á
þessum tímamótum.
Eg óska öllum glcði og velmcgun á
komandi ári.
The Hon.
