House of Representatives, Parliament Hill,
Capital District, Toronto
The House of Representatives chamber buzzed with activity as MPs, senators, and various civilian groups eagerly awaited the entrance of the Usnarovian queen. Having arrived in the Capital District two days prior and recieved the various ceremonies and gifts allotted to a foreign head of state there was a great deal of anticipation her arrival. Due to address the North American government in a special joint session of parliament, an event where both houses of the legislative branch of government convene for a ceremonial function, making such an address to parliament is not always guaranteed. Therefore the opportunity to do so remains a district honour for both the American government and the head of state in question. It was decided since congress would ultimately be charged with ratifying the alliance between the UCNA and Usnarov that the queen should be able to speak before the politicians who would affirm such a monumental agreement.
The chamber quickly silenced as Prime Minister David Tremblay entered the house chamber and approached the podium.
“Ladies and gentlemen of the house and senate, today I have the distinct pleasure of introducing one of the most honoured guests I have has the privilege of receiving during my time as prime minister” PM Tremblay stated, capturing the unanimous attention of everyone within the chamber, with the media in particular making sure to find the best possible view to broadcast. “In our world it has become an increasing imperative that those that can be considered free nations seek out to find common ground for us to stand on, and endeavour to set an example that others in our should emulate. Whether big, small, close to us, or across the seas, we must remember the things that unite us in common cause lest we risk endangering the ways of life we hold so dear” he said as he prepared to conclude. “Members of congress, Her Royal Highness Queen Maria Occissor of Usnarov” he concluded, sending the chamber into a thunderous applause as the foreign monarch entered.
