“Grant us wisdom, knowledge and
understanding to preserve the
blessings of this country for the
benefit of all and to make good laws
and wise decisions.”
A portion of the prayer recited by the Speaker of the House of Commons to begin each sitting of the House of Commons.
Firmly rooted in centuries of British parliamentary tradition
and Canadian experience, the House of Commons of Canada
voices the convictions and aspirations of the Canadian people.
Each day, Members of Parliament —through their work
in the Chamber, committees, caucuses, constituencies and
international forums— serve and represent Canadians, and
strive to remain true to their solemn commitment to make
good laws and wise decisions, and preserve the blessings of
the country.
