STATEMENT BY THE PRIME MINISTER OF CANADA

 Prime Minister Stephen Harper today issued the following statement on National Aboriginal Day:

 “As we celebrate National Aboriginal Day, I encourage all Canadians to take the opportunity to celebrate Canada’s rich Aboriginal traditions and the contributions of Aboriginal peoples.

 “Evidence of the wealth of aboriginal cultures in our country is all around us, from place names, to languages spoken, to art, both modern and historical, found in nature, homes and museums across the nation.  Nowhere was this evidence stronger than at the 2010 Winter Olympic Games, where Aboriginal symbols, participation and cultures were an integral part of the Games’ success.

 “But National Aboriginal Day is about more than history and traditions.  It is also about recognizing the immense contributions Aboriginal peoples continue to make in this country on a daily basis in all areas.— contributions that ensure the growth and success of Canada.

 “Our Government is committed to deepening our relationship with Aboriginal people, and we are taking action to help Aboriginal peoples and communities reach their full potential.  Under Canada’s Economic Action Plan, we are investing in Aboriginal-specific programming in areas such as skills and training, health, educational facilities, housing and infrastructure.  Additionally, Budget 2010: Leading the Way on Jobs and Growth is providing support for Aboriginal peoples and the North, including improvements to Aboriginal health and access to safe drinking water on reserves

 “I encourage everyone to take part in the exciting festivities planned for National Aboriginal Day across Canada.  Please join me in celebrating the outstanding contributions that the First Nations, Métis, and Inuit make to Canada.”

DÉCLARATION DU PREMIER MINISTRE du canada

 Le Premier ministre Stephen Harper a fait aujourd'hui la déclaration suivante à l’occasion de la Journée nationale des Autochtones :

 « Alors que nous fêtons la Journée nationale des Autochtones, j'encourage tous les Canadiens et Canadiennes à profiter de l'occasion pour célébrer les riches traditions autochtones et la contribution des peuples autochtones.

 « Nous sommes entourés des témoignages de la richesse des cultures autochtones dans les noms de lieux, les langues parlées, l'art, à la fois moderne et historique, que l’on retrouve dans la nature, les foyers et les musées de tout le pays. Nulle part cette preuve a été plus forte que lors des Jeux olympiques d'hiver 2010, où les symboles, la participation et les cultures autochtones ont pleinement contribué à la réussite des Jeux.

 « Mais la Journée nationale des Autochtones dépasse l'histoire et les traditions. Elle nous permet de reconnaître l'immense contribution que les peuples autochtones continuent de faire dans ce pays, tous les jours et dans tous les domaines, contributions qui assurent la croissance et le succès du Canada.

 « Notre gouvernement est déterminé à approfondir notre relation avec les peuples autochtones, et nous prenons des mesures pour les aider à réaliser tout leur potentiel. En vertu du Plan d'action économique du Canada, nous investissons dans des programmes destinés particulièrement aux Autochtones dans des domaines tels que les compétences et la formation, la santé, les établissements d'enseignement, le logement et les infrastructures. En outre, le budget de 2010 placé sous le thème de Tracer la voie de la croissance et de l’emploi fournit un soutien aux peuples autochtones et du Nord, y compris dans les domaines de la santé et de l'accès à l'eau potable dans les réserves.

 « J’encourage tout le monde à prendre part aux formidables festivités prévues dans tout le Canada à l’occasion de la Journée nationale des Autochtones. Joignez-vous à moi pour célébrer la contribution exceptionnelle que les Premières nations, les Métis et les Inuits ont apportée au Canada. »
