Minister of National Defence - Anita Anand
Hello. Bonjour.
As 2022 draws to a close and as we all mark the holiday season, I extend my sincere and heartfelt good wishes to everyone at the Department of National Defence, the Canadian Armed Forces, and the Communications Security Establishment.
Day in and day out, you work tirelessly to keep Canadians safe.
During this holiday season, and always, we are immensely grateful for your contributions to Canada.
Whether you will be celebrating a particular holiday, tracking Santa with NORAD, or just enjoying this beautiful winter season with loved ones and friends, I hope that you will all take some well-deserved time to rest and relax after this busy and productive year.
You work relentlessly to protect our country. After such a busy and productive year, I hope you can take some time with your loved ones to relax and unwind.
I am especially grateful to all members of the Canadian Armed Forces who are deployed far from home during this holiday season. On behalf of all Canadians, I thank you for your sacrifices to defend Canada, our Allies, and our way of life.
At a time when authoritarian states are challenging the international rules that ensure our security, your service is more important than ever for the future of our country.
I hope you have a happy holiday season, and I wish you happiness, health and joy in the coming year.
To every member of this extraordinary institution, I offer my deepest thanks for your courage, your dedication, and your selfless service to Canada.
I wish you all a very happy holiday season, and a successful new year.
Thank you. Meegwech. Thank you.
