Canada has an “incredible opportunity” to pursue economic transformation, said the government’s speech from the throne, which was delivered by King Charles III on May 27. It was the third time in Canadian history that a monarch has delivered the speech.

King Charles opened the 45th Parliament with the speech delivered from the Senate chamber, outlining the priorities of the new Liberal government under Prime Minister Mark Carney.
