    CHECK AGAINST DELIVERY Good afternoon everyone. Thank you for taking the time to join us today. Just over a year ago, Canadians elected a new government. Their marching orders for us were clear: build an economy that works for me and my family, and protect the environment so we can leave a better, cleaner country to our kids.

    PM’s Opening Keynote Speech at the Summit
    Hello, Everyone. It is a real pleasure for me to be with you today—as Prime Minister of Canada, but especially as a proud Francophone.   I would like to thank the President of the Republic of Madagascar and the Malagasy people for their warm welcome. I would also like to mention that the President studied at a Canadian university, the Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières. So his background is an indication of the wide variety of ties that are being formed between the countries and citizens of the Francophone world.

    In the last election, Statistics Canada found that 18-24 year olds reported voting at a rate 12 percent higher than the previous election. And that figure could rise even higher next time, if we put in the work needed to help young people feel empowered and engaged.
