Statement made on 22 June 2010 by Senator Percy Downe

Hon. Percy E. Downe:

Honourable senators, the Head of State for Canada is coming to Canada. Since the government has invited Her Majesty to Canada, why have they not invited her to visit all of the provinces? I note, for example, that it has been 18 years since Her Majesty has been invited to visit Prince Edward Island, and it has been 33 years since the Queen has been invited to visit Quebec. Does the government intend to invite Her Majesty to Quebec and Prince Edward Island during her next visit to Canada?
