This donation to The King's Trust Canada reflects our shared commitment to inclusion, service, and support for young people. By supporting this mission, we are helping build a more fair and promising future for youth from coast to coast to coast." —The Honourable Steven Guilbeault, Minister of Canadian Identity and Culture and Minister responsible for Official Languages Quick Facts The last time a monarch delivered the Speech from the Throne was Queen Elizabeth II in 1977, as part of her Silver Jubilee tour. Prior to that, Queen Elizabeth II delivered the Speech from the Throne in 1957 to mark her first visit to Canada as reigning monarch and the first time a monarch opened Parliament in Canada. Canada is a constitutional monarchy. The Monarch is the Head of State, whose powers are defined by the Constitution and constitutional conventions. These responsibilities are typically carried out by the Governor General (the Monarch's representative in Canada). The Speech from the Throne is usually delivered by the Governor General. This was the 20th visit to Canada for His Majesty The King and the sixth for Her Majesty The Queen. Their Majesties' last visit to Canada (as the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall) was from May 17 to 19, 2022, as part of the celebrations marking the Platinum Jubilee of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and her 70-year reign as Queen of Canada.
