The Rt. Hon. Jean Chrétien, P.C., Q.C.

Breakfast
Monday, August 18

A passionate Canadian with sharp political instincts, Jean Chrétien led three consecutive Liberal majority governments as the country’s twentieth prime minister. First elected to Parliament in 1963 at the age of 29, Jean Chrétien served with six prime ministers, held 12 ministerial positions and served in Parliament for a total of 27 years. Besides presiding over a period of sustained economic growth, Jean Chrétien’s years as PM saw Canada through a series of pivotal moments in its history, from the Quebec referendum and the Clarity Act to his famous Team Canadatrade missions and firm stance on the Iraq war.

With his unique story-telling ability, Jean Chrétien will treat attendees to a candid reflection on his years as Prime Minister. His vitality, charm and love for his country cross political lines and make him one of Canada's most sought-after public speakers.
