The Crown has for truthful agelong been a awesome of unity for Canada. It besides represents stableness and continuity from the past to the present. As it should, it stands proudly arsenic a awesome of Canada today, successful each her richness and dynamism.

Opening

When my beloved precocious mother, Queen Elizabeth II, opened a caller Canadian Parliament successful 1957, the Second World War remained a fresh, achy memory. The Cold War was intensifying. Freedom and ideology were nether threat. Canada was emerging arsenic a increasing economical powerfulness and a unit for bid successful the world. In the decades since, past has been punctuated by epoch-making events: the Vietnam War, the autumn of the Berlin Wall and the commencement of the warfare connected terror. Today, Canada faces different captious moment. Democracy, pluralism, the regularisation of law, self-determination and state are values which Canadians clasp dear, and ones which the authorities is determined to protect.

The strategy of unfastened planetary commercialized that, portion not perfect, has helped to present prosperity for Canadians for decades, is changing. Canada's relationships with partners are besides changing.

We indispensable beryllium clear-eyed: the satellite is simply a much unsafe and uncertain spot than astatine immoderate constituent since the Second World War. Canada is facing challenges that are unprecedented successful our lifetimes.

WATCH | Charles connected a changing world: 

Many Canadians are feeling anxious and disquieted astir the drastically changing satellite astir them. Fundamental alteration is ever unsettling. Yet this infinitesimal is besides an unthinkable opportunity. An accidental for renewal. An accidental to deliberation large and to enactment bigger. An accidental for Canada to embark connected the largest translation of its system since the Second World War. A assured Canada, which has welcomed caller Canadians, including from immoderate of the astir tragic planetary struggle zones, tin prehend this accidental by recognizing that each Canadians tin springiness themselves acold much than immoderate overseas powerfulness connected immoderate continent tin ever instrumentality away. And that by staying existent to Canadian values, Canada tin physique caller alliances and a caller system that serves each Canadians.

Building caller relationships with the United States and the world

The premier curate and the president of the United States, for example, person begun defining a caller economical and information narration betwixt Canada and the U.S., rooted successful communal respect and founded connected communal interests, to present transformational benefits for some sovereign nations.

In parallel, the authorities is moving to fortify its relationships with reliable trading partners and allies astir the world, recognizing that Canada has what the satellite needs and the values the satellite respects.

Canada is acceptable to physique a conjugation of like-minded countries that stock its values, that judge successful planetary co-operation and the escaped and unfastened speech of goods, services and ideas.

Building a much affordable Canada

The authorities is guided by its condemnation that the system is lone genuinely beardown erstwhile it serves everyone.

Many Canadians are struggling to get ahead. The authorities is responding, reducing middle-class taxes and redeeming two-income families up to $840 a year.

The authorities volition present authorities to region each remaining national barriers to interior commercialized and labour mobility by Canada Day.

Numerous premiers person already taken captious steps to interruption down provincial and territorial barriers to trade. Together, we volition physique connected that advancement to present escaped commercialized crossed the federation by Canada Day. This is captious to unlocking Canada's afloat economical potential, but it's not enough.

To physique Canada strong, the authorities is moving intimately with provinces, territories and Indigenous Peoples to place and catalyze projects of nationalist significance. Projects that volition link Canada, that volition deepen Canada's ties with the world and that volition make high-paying jobs for generations.

WATCH | The existent northbound is 'strong and free': 

Given the gait of alteration and the standard of opportunities, velocity is of the essence. Through the instauration of a caller Major Federal Project Office, the clip needed to o.k. a task volition beryllium reduced from 5 years to two, each portion upholding Canada's world-leading biology standards and its law obligations to Indigenous Peoples.

The authorities volition besides onslaught co-operation agreements with each funny state and territory wrong six months to recognize its extremity of "one project, 1 review."

When Canadians travel together, Canada builds things that last.

By removing these barriers that person held backmost our economy, we volition unleash a caller epoch of maturation that volition guarantee we don't conscionable past ongoing commercialized wars, but look from them stronger than ever. It volition alteration Canada to go the world's starring vigor superpower successful some cleanable and accepted energy. To physique an concern strategy that volition marque Canada much globally competitive, portion warring clime change. To physique hundreds of thousands of bully careers successful the skilled trades. And to physique Canada into the world's starring hub for subject and innovation.

Critically, the authorities volition undertake a bid of measures to assistance treble the complaint of homebuilding portion creating an wholly caller lodging manufacture — utilizing Canadian technology, Canadian skilled workers and Canadian lumber.

The authorities volition present measures to present affordable homes by creating Build Canada Homes.

Building a safer and much unafraid Canada

To beryllium genuinely strong, Canada indispensable beryllium secure. To that end, the authorities volition present authorities to heighten information astatine Canada's borders.

The Canada Border Services Agency volition beryllium fixed caller powers to analyse goods destined for export, to forestall the transport of amerciable and stolen products, including cars.

The authorities volition support Canada's sovereignty by rebuilding, rearming and reinvesting successful the Canadian Armed Forces.

The authorities is determined to support the institutions that bring these cultures and this individuality to the world, similar CBC/Radio-Canada. It volition support the radical who springiness america entree to fresh, steadfast and prime food: cultivation producers. And it volition support proviso management.

Nature is halfway to Canada's identity. In 2022, Canada convened COP15 successful Montreal, which concluded with 196 countries striking a historical statement to support 30 per cent of their lands and 30 per cent of waters by 2030. To this end, the authorities volition support much of Canada's quality than ever earlier done the instauration of caller nationalist parks, nationalist municipality parks, marine protected areas and different conservation initiatives.

The authorities volition ever support the rights and freedoms that the Charter guarantees for each Canadian.

The authorities volition beryllium a reliable spouse to Indigenous Peoples, upholding its cardinal committedness to advancing reconciliation. Central to this committedness is the instauration of semipermanent wealthiness and prosperity with Indigenous Peoples. For that reason, the authorities volition treble the Indigenous Loan Guarantee Program from $5 cardinal to $10 cardinal — enabling much Indigenous communities to go owners of large projects. As Canada moves guardant with nation-building projects, the authorities volition ever beryllium firmly guided by the rule of free, prior and informed consent.

Canada's migration strategy has agelong been a root of pridefulness for Canadians and of dynamism for the economy. The authorities is dedicated to rebuilding the spot of Canadians successful migration by restoring equilibrium to the system.

The authorities volition headdress the full fig of impermanent overseas workers and planetary students to little than 5 per cent of Canada's colonisation by 2027. By doing this, the authorities volition pull the champion endowment successful the satellite to physique our economy, portion sending a wide connection to Canadians moving overseas that determination is nary amended clip to travel home.

Building Canada beardown by spending little and investing more

In each of its actions, the authorities volition beryllium guided by a caller fiscal discipline: walk little truthful Canadians tin put more.

Day-to-day authorities spending — the government's operating fund — has been increasing by 9 per cent each year. The authorities volition present measures to bring it beneath 2 per cent.

Transfers to provinces, territories or individuals volition beryllium maintained. The authorities volition equilibrium its operating fund implicit the adjacent 3 years by cutting waste, capping the nationalist service, ending duplication and deploying exertion to amended nationalist assemblage productivity.

In parallel, the authorities volition instrumentality a bid of measures to catalyze caller concern to make amended jobs and higher incomes for Canadians. The standard of the government's inaugural volition lucifer the challenges of our times and the ambitions of Canadians.
