Court Painter unveils his version of the Speech from the Throne
In Canada, the Speech from the Throne is a formal event that marks the opening of a new session of Parliament.
When the King delivers the speech:
- The Prime Minister and Cabinet prepare the content of the speech.
- The speech outlines the government’s legislative agenda and priorities for the upcoming session.
- It is then submitted to the King.
- The King reads the Speech from the Throne in the Senate.
- Members of the House of Commons are invited to attend and listen.
- The Monarch sits on the throne in the Senate chamber while delivering the speech.
This process symbolizes the start of democratic governance for a new parliamentary session and reaffirms the constitutional monarchy’s role in Canada’s political system.
