A previous gauge-invariant gyrokinetic equation based on an approximate canonical Hamiltonian coordinate system is extended to an exact canonical Hamiltonian coordinate system with the time scale well separated. By using this formalism a new orbit-averaged gyrokinetic equation, which is valid for both trapped and passing particles, is established.
