모든 아버지들과 예비 아버지들, (증조) 할아버지들 그리고 우리 삶에서 아버지 역할을 하시는 모든 분들께서 행복한 아버지의 날을 보내시길 바랍니다.

오늘 우리는 우리의 첫 번째 영웅이자 강하고 의지할 수 있는 보호자이며 친절하고 이타적이며 사랑하는 아버지들을 축하합니다.

저처럼 아버지나 (증조) 할아버지가 함께하지 않는 분들께, 우리는 그분들에 대한 그리움과 사랑을 가슴에 새기며 그분들을 기립니다.

또한 자유와 민주주의를 위해 가족을 뒤로한 채 참전하셨던 우리의 용감한 참전 용사님들 그리고 궁극적인 희생을 치르고 가족의 품으로 돌아오지 못한 분들도 기억합니다.

이 특별한 날, 가족을 떠나 전 세계에서 복무 중이신 모든 분들께 감사드리며 안전하게 집으로 돌아오시길 기원합니다. 

캐나다 상원을 대표해 아버지의 날에 축복을 기원합니다.

Happy Father’s Day to the fathers, soon-to-be-fathers, (great) grandfathers, and father figures in our lives.

Today we celebrate our first heroes, strong and dependable protectors, our kind, selfless and loving Fathers.

To those whose (great) grandfather or father, like mine, who are no longer with us, let us honour our dearly departed through our remembrance of them, with love in our hearts.  

We also remember our brave veterans who left their families behind to fight for freedom and democracy, and those who paid the ultimate sacrifice and never returned home to their families.

To all our current serving members in uniform around the world, who are not with their families on this special day, we thank you for your selfless service and pray for your safe return home.  

On behalf of the Senate of Canada, blessing on this Father’s Day and always.
