 Good afternoon, everyone. Buongiorno, cari amici. Thank you for being here today. I'd like to say a few brief words about our guest, Prime Minister Paolo Gentiloni. He's new to his role as Prime Minister, but has been a dedicated public service servant for much of his working life. As a deputy, he has played a great role on several fronts, especially at the level of the supervision of the Italian National Radio-Diffusion Agency. As Minister of Foreign Affairs, he has faced diplomatic crises with calm and assurance. And now, as Prime Minister, he is defending with courage the international trade. He has greatly supported the European Union's free trade agreement. The citizens on both sides of the Atlantic can thank Prime Minister Gentiloni for many opportunities and many well-paid jobs that will bring about the integral contribution of this trade agreement. Thank you once again, Paolo, for your support of CETA. Of course, our meeting this morning and our meal here today are more than just diplomatic and trade relations. It's a chance for us to come together to celebrate a truly unique and special friendship. Canada, as you know, is home to just over 36 million Canadians, one and a half million of which identify as Italian-Canadian. As I joked earlier today, that number seems to double every time the World Cup rolls around. And that's okay with me, because our history shows that when Italians have made the difficult choice to leave their homeland and settle here, we've always been the better for it. I experienced this firsthand just yesterday when I had the chance to visit the Art Gallery of Ontario. I want to share a quick story with you because I think it says much about the connection that Italian-Canadians feel to both countries. Several business leaders, including Tony Galliano and Tony Veroni, who are here today, brought together 26 different families who together raised $13 million to help build a new gallery space. What's unique is that they didn't want their own names on it. Instead, it was called Galleria Italia after the family's beloved country of birth. They wanted to honour the country they loved, a place that reveres art and artists, while at the same time showing their love and respect for their adopted country of Canada. When the Italian government of the day heard about this, they awarded each family the Italian equivalent of the Order of Canada. I am thankful as a father that my own children will be able to visit the Galleria Italia and better understand the connection between two countries that made it possible. I'm also grateful that as Prime Minister, I'll have opportunities to spend more time with Prime Minister Gentiloni. We'll have a chance to do that next month at the G7 Leaders Summit in Tiramina, followed by an official bilateral visit in Rome. After that, I will be making a visit to the Vatican City for an audience with His Holiness, Pope Francis. I'm especially happy that I'll be bringing a number of prominent business leaders with me to Rome. They will be part of a business delegation that will accompany me, organised by the Italian Chambers of Commerce of Canada, and I know they will represent us very well. So with that, I invite you all to join me in a toast to the enduring friendship between Canada and Italy and to the many close ties that unite our people. May we continue to show the world what it truly means to be partners and friends. Cheers! Salute e buon appetito!
