渥太华，安大略
总理斯蒂芬·哈珀发布以下声明，标记加拿大多元文化日：
“今天是所有加拿大人庆祝我国丰富的多元文化遗产的日子。
“加拿大是移民的国家。４００多年来，许多人来到这块土地，为自己和家庭寻求新的机会和更好的生活。这些新移民带来的是熟练的技能、对吃苦的承诺和强烈的成功欲望。他们对其安家落户的社区作出了不可计量的贡献。他们为我们今天所知所爱的加拿大打下了基础－－一个富强、团结、独立和自由的国家。
“在二十一世纪，世界上成千上万的人仍然视加拿大为充满机会的土地－－在这个国家，你往哪里去比你从哪里来更为重要。每年，我国都受益于数以万计为这里的平等机会所吸引的移民。
“我想敦促所有加拿大人，今天花一点时间，来庆贺我们创造的这个宽容、开放和慷慨的社会，
她让所有不同背景的人们，作为加拿大大家庭的一部分，成长和繁荣。”
Prime Minister Harper issues statement on Canadian Multiculturalism Day
June 27, 2006
Ottawa, Ontario
Prime Minister Stephen Harper issued the following statement to mark Canadian Multiculturalism Day:
"Today is a day for all Canadians to celebrate our nation's rich multicultural heritage.
"Canada is a nation of immigrants. For more than 400 years, men and women have come to these shores in search of new opportunities and a better life for themselves and their families. These newcomers have brought with them valuable skills, a commitment to hard work and a strong desire to succeed. They have added immeasurably to every community in which they have settled. And they have laid the foundation for the Canada we know and love today - a nation that is strong, united, independent, and free.
"In the 21st century, millions of people around the world still view Canada as a land of opportunity - a country in which where you're going matters more than where you come from. And every year, our country benefits from the arrival of thousands of men and women drawn by the equality of opportunity that exits here.
"I would urge all Canadians to take time today to celebrate the tolerant, open and generous society we have created, which welcomes people of all backgrounds to grow and prosper as part of the Canadian family."更多精彩文章及讨论，请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net
