Statement by the Prime Minister Paul Martin

January 25, 2006
Ottawa, Ontario

As Prime minister, I would like to personally thank and congratulate all Canadians who voted on Monday.

Your participation in the electoral process is essential in fostering a strong democracy for our country.

I am proud to see that Canada remains a healthy democracy, a great model for all countries around the world.

On January 23rd, Canadians expressed their choice and we wish the best to Prime Minister-designate Stephen Harper and his team.

I would like to reassure Canadians that my team and I will work together to facilitate the transition that will lead to the installation of a new government.

It has been an honour for me to be your prime minister and to represent Canada on the international scene. Canada is a great nation and its greatest days lie ahead.
