Delivering remarks, Sir Patrick Allen spoke to the Custodes dedication, noting \u201cAs your Governor-General, I have had the pleasure of working alongside some of the most dedicated and hardworking individuals in our country. Your unstinting service in representing me and the Government has been invaluable, and I cannot thank you enough for your unwavering commitment to our shared vision. Your tireless efforts and unwavering support have truly made a difference in the lives of the people we serve.\u201d<\/p>\n

The luncheon and presentation ceremony formed part of a full day of activities with His Excellency The Governor-General, the Custodes and their spouses.
