...which has petitioned the University of Alberta to remove the reference to God in the traditional convocation speech delivered by the chancellor to new graduates.

In the speech, the chancellor urges those in mortar boards to use their newly granted parchments for "the glory of God and the honour of your country."
About time too. There's so many religions out there, it makes no sense to have convocation all about god and Christianity and stuff.
