The motion
That this House joins the people of Canada in celebrating their national day on 1 July 2010, which this year is taking place during the twenty-second visit to Canada by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II; notes that Canada Day celebrates the anniversary of the formation of the union of British North America provinces in a federation under the name of Canada on 1 July 1868; recognises the shared heritage and special relationship between the peoples of the UK and Canada; and calls upon the Government to continue to work to strengthen the close political, economic and cultural ties that bind together these two great nations and Commonwealth members who share Her Majesty the Queen as head of state and sovereign.
