All official Honours in Canada stem from the Queen of Canada. For this reason the Crown is known as "the Fount of Honour"("fount" means "source" or "origin"). In a monarchy, Honours do not come from the people or from the country, they are a mark of the Sovereign's favour. Canadians who serve the Queen of Canada through their work for the country receive the Queen's State Honours established by Her Majesty and administered on her behalf by the Governor-General of Canada through the Honours Secretariat. 1, record 10, English, - Fount%20of%20Honour

In presenting these honours to deserving Canadians, we pay tribute to exceptional contributions that have enriched not only the country but also the world. Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II is the fount of our Canadian Honours System. As our Sovereign, only the Queen of Canada can approve the creation of an honour, based on the recommendation of the Government of Canada.
