新上任总理杜鲁多在一封致加拿大民众的公开信中重申将建立一个公开和透明政府的承诺。
他在信中说,他的团队强壮、多元和富有经验。他还指出,在加拿大历史上,政府内阁成员首次达成男女对半。
他在信中表示,自由党政府将致力发展经济,让中产阶级变得更强壮,保护环境,帮助弱势群体,投资基础建设;将与省、地区和市政府合作;尊重原住民。
和前任总理哈珀相比,杜鲁多显示开放、亲民的作风,但他要实现承诺将面临很多挑战,他和民众之间的蜜月期将有多长,还值得观察。
总理杜鲁多致加拿大民众的公开信:
今天,我非常高兴介绍我们的团队:这些杰出的加拿大人将在您的新政府中担任部长。我们聆听加拿大国民的心声,了解作为加拿大人,您期望政府能体现您的价值观和优先事务。我们强大、多元、经验丰富的团队将为所有加拿大国民服务,并且在加国历史上,内阁男女成员首次比例相当。
在竞选过程中,我们承诺要建设一个能带来真正变革的政府,包括我们做的事以及做事的方式,我们会立刻开始实施我们壮大中产的计划。
大选日,您所发出的信息很明确,您有权期望我们兑现承诺。
今天我写信给您,是要重申未来4年,我保证努力工作落实承诺。是时候有不试图分裂加拿大人、用一切机会把包括国会成员在内的国民团结在一起的领袖。
我们承诺投资发展经济、壮大中产、帮助努力工作迈入中产的人。
我们承诺应对气候变化,保护环境;
承诺减少支持那些不需要帮助的人,给需要帮助的人提供更多直接帮助;
承诺把公共投资作为刺激经济增长、创造工作岗位和繁荣经济的最佳途径;
我们还承诺在富有挑战性的经济时期,制定透明负责任的财政计划。
我们期待您监督政府履行这些承诺。
从挣扎中的中产阶层,到气候变化的威胁,加拿大面临许多真实直接、近在眼前的挑战。如果我们要克服这些障碍,加拿大人需要相信政府愿意聆听意见并有诚信。因此我们承诺提高渥太华政府的开放及透明标准;政府及其信息必须默认公开。简单地说,是时候让更多阳光照进政府,确保政府聚焦其存在的目的﹣为人民服务,为您服务。
不过,要让您信任政府,政府先要信任您。在我们犯错的时候(所有政府都会),重要的是我们承认错误并从中吸取教训。我们知道您并不期望我们完美无缺,但您期望我们勤奋,并且诚实、公开、真诚地努力为公众利益服务。
在大选前,我们还承诺要为渥太华政府带来新领导风格。展望未来,我们将用新的合作态度实现目标。我们完全明白和理解,与省市及地区成为合作伙伴对实现我们承诺的真正积极变革至关重要。
是时候与原住民同胞建立新的,建立在认可权利、尊重、合作以及伙伴关係基础上的,国家与族裔政权之间的关係。这不仅仅是要做的对的事,这也是发展经济的必然途径。
最后,我衷心感谢有机会为您、以及我们伟大国家的每一位加拿大人服务。我承诺领导一个开放、诚信、对加拿大国民负责任的政府;提升操守标准至最高;团结国家;并特别审慎地处理公共资金。
感谢您信任我,感谢您信任我们团队。
我们不会让您失望。
杜鲁多

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s open letter to Canadians
My dear friends,
Today, I had the pleasure of introducing our team of extraordinary Canadians who will serve as Ministers in your new government. As a Canadian, you expect to see your values and priorities reflected in your government – and we have listened closely. Our strong, diverse, and experienced team will serve all Canadians, and – for the first time in our country’s history – there will be an equal number of women and men around the Cabinet table.
Over the course of the campaign, we promised you a government that will bring real change – in both the things we do and the way we do them. We will immediately start implementing our plan for a strong and growing middle class. On Election Day, you sent a clear message, and you rightly expect us to fulfill our promises.
I am writing to you, today, to reaffirm my commitment to spend the next four years working hard to deliver on those promises. It is time for leadership that never seeks to divide Canadians, but takes every single opportunity to bring us together, including in Parliament.
We made a commitment to invest in growing our economy, strengthening our middle class, and helping those working hard to join it. We committed to fighting climate change and protecting our environment. We made a commitment to provide more direct help to those who need it by giving less to those who do not. We committed to public investment as the best way to spur growth, job creation, and economic prosperity. And we committed to a responsible, transparent fiscal plan for challenging economic times. We expect you to hold the government accountable for delivering these commitments.
Our country faces many real and immediate challenges – from a struggling middle class to the threat of climate change. If we are to overcome these obstacles, Canadians need to have faith in their government’s honesty and willingness to listen. That is why we committed to set a higher bar for openness and transparency in Ottawa. Government and its information must be open by default. Simply put, it is time to shine more light on government to make sure it remains focused on the people it was created to serve – you.
But in order for you to trust your government, you need a government that will trust you. When we make a mistake – as all governments do – it is important that we acknowledge that mistake and learn from it. We know that you do not expect us to be perfect – but you expect us to work tirelessly, and to be honest, open, and sincere in our efforts to serve the public interest.
Before the election, we also made a commitment to bring new leadership and a new tone to Ottawa. Moving forward, we will pursue our goals and objectives with a renewed sense of collaboration. We fully understand and appreciate that partnerships with provincial, territorial, and municipal governments are vital to deliver the real, positive change that we promised you.
It is also time for a renewed, Nation-to-Nation relationship with Indigenous Peoples, one based on a recognition of rights, respect, co-operation, and partnership. Not only is this the right thing to do, but it is also a sure path to economic growth.
To close, I am deeply grateful to have this opportunity to serve you – and every Canadian across our great country. I am committed to leading an open, honest government that is accountable to Canadians, lives up to the highest ethical standards, brings our country together, and applies the utmost care and prudence in the handling of public funds.
Thank you for having faith in me. Thank you for putting your trust in our team.
We will not let you down.
Rt. Hon. Justin Trudeau, P.C, M.P.
Prime Minister of Canada |
