Holiday Message From the Prime Minister
December 18, 1998
Ottawa, Ontario
The following is the text of a holiday message to all Canadians from Prime Minister Jean Chrétien:
"The Holiday Season is a time when Canadians gather to renew the cherished bonds of family and friendship. To look back on the year coming to a close. To look ahead with anticipation on the New Year that beckons. And to reflect on our many blessings as a people.
Our prosperity. Our matchless natural beauty. Our rich diversity. Above all, our sense that we are truly a family. And that Canada is our home. No matter where we live. Whatever language we speak. We care about each other. We work together. That is our proud history. That is our bright future.
May the good will of the season inspire you to embrace both the challenges and opportunities ahead with spirit and enthusiasm. To keep a special place in your thoughts for those of our Canadian family who are less fortunate. And to reach out to them during the holidays and in the year to come.
Aline and our whole family joins me in expressing to you and yours our warmest wishes for a happy and healthy Holiday Season."
