J'invite les sénateurs à porter une attention particulière aux mots qui font valoir l'allégeance unanime du Cabinet et du Conseil privé à Sa Majesté la reine Elizabeth II. Gardez en tête, honorables sénateurs, que le mot allégeance est dérivé du mot «lige», seigneur en français, soit la personne à qui on doit allégeance.
I ask honourable senators to pay careful attention to the words in the proclamation that assert the unanimity of cabinet and Privy Council to their allegiance to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Remember, honourable senators, the word " allegiance" is taken from " liege," which is the lord or lady person to whom one grants loyalty. There is much written on the law of allegiance.
