Diplomatic appointment

September 29, 2017 - Ottawa, Ontario - Global Affairs Canada

Canada’s relationship with France is defined by deep cultural ties and a strong commitment to creating a safer, fairer and more inclusive world. Looking to the future, our prospects are even more promising—including through the Canada-European Union Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement and our work together to combat climate change.

Canada and France are true partners and true friends, much of which can be attributed to what we share—a common language, a common history and a common set of values.

The Honourable Chrystia Freeland, Minister of Foreign Affairs, today announced the following diplomatic appointment:

Isabelle Hudon becomes Ambassador to the French Republic. Ms. Hudon replaces the Honourable Lawrence Cannon, P.C.
