"A king is a king, not because he is rich
and powerful, not because he is a
successful politician, not because he
belongs to a particular creed or to a
national group. He is King because he is
born. And in choosing to leave the
selection of their head of state to this
most common denominator in the
world -the accident of birth- Canadians
implicitly proclaim their faith in human
equality; their hope for the triumph of nature over political
manoeuvre, over social and financial interest; for the victory
of the human person."
~Jacques Monet, historian and author

"I can safely say that on most policy
issues, there are probably no two people
in the House who agree less than Peter
and I. However, we found a sense of
camaraderie... There are two things on
which we do share agreement. One of
those is the importance of Canadian
history. I thank Peter for his constant
reminders of the importance of
Canadian history in this House. The
second, strangely enough, is the
monarchy. Peter and I share being
monarchists. I believe the constitutional
monarchy is one of the foundations of our democracy,
because when one is from my community, one knows it is
hard to upstage a queen."

"The Globe and Mail stated last July
that “The monarchy is the bedrock of
Canada's constitutional order.” I firmly
agree, and I have always believed that.
I am proud to be a strong monarchist,
holding firm to the belief that historical
continuity is the best anchor for bold
and progressive governance. I would
like to express my sincere hope that Her
Majesty and the Duke of Edinburgh will
continue to be beacons of love and
devotion for years to come."
