Prime Minister Stephen Harper's statement on the inauguration:
“On behalf of the Government of Canada, I offer my sincere congratulations to Barack Obama as he is sworn in for a second term as President of the United States of America.
“President Obama and I have worked very closely over the past four years, on promoting jobs, growth and prosperity and on international peace and security issues, and I look forward to strengthening our productive working relationship.
“The long-standing partnership between our two countries is defined by so many commonalities: we share the world's largest trading relationship, the world’s longest undefended border, and a deep mutual commitment to promoting freedom, human rights and the rule of law around the world.
“The success of the Canada-U.S. relationship is unrivaled, and I wish President Obama and his administration well as they embark on their second term in office.” -
