Welcome!

On Monday, September 30, 2002, Her Excellency the Governor General of Canada read the Speech from the Throne (SFT), in the Senate Chamber on Parliament Hill in Ottawa.

A Speech from the Throne opens every new session of Parliament. The SFT, and the Prime Minister's speech in response to it, set out the government's commitments to Canadians and the policies and programs the government will implement during the session.

A new Speech from the Throne will be read by Her Excellency, the Governor General of Canada, on Monday, February 2, 2004, at approximately 3:30 PM (EST).

At that time, the new Speech will be posted on the Prime Minister's site, at www.pm.gc.ca.
