Prime Minister's message to the Canadian troops


December 20, 1995
Ottawa, Ontario

Following is a text of Prime Minister Jean Chrétien's message to Canadian Forces troops posted abroad:

"It is a great pleasure for me to offer holiday greetings to the men and women of the Canadian Forces serving overseas.

In particular, I want to send greetings to all those serving in Canada's peacekeeping missions.

Canadians are very proud of our long tradition of peacekeeping. And we are proud that our presence in the Balkans has helped lay the groundwork for a peace agreement.

After years of violence and conflict, there is finally hope for a real and lasting peace. Canadians have an important role to play in supporting the peace process.

My family joins me in wishing you a safe and happy holiday, and all the best in the new year."
