Hon. John Manley
John Manley made a lasting impression on Canadians in our country's most powerful cabinet position as Finance Minister, and as Foreign Affairs Minister, working closely with US officials to ease strained relationships between the two nations. He launched the Smart Borders program, and for his role as Chair of the Committee on Public Policy and Anti-Terrorism in the wake of 9/11, he was named TIME Canada Magazine's "Newsmaker of the Year" in 2001. In 2008 he released his independent panel's hard-hitting report on Canada's future in Afghanistan to Prime Minister Stephen Harper. In 2009 Hon. John Manley was Appointed President and CEO of the Canadian Council of Chief Executives.
Manley's diverse background and his experience in government make him an ideal speaker on issues of trade, finance and security as well as working with government in Canada and abroad. In his 15 years in Parliament, John Manley held a variety of cabinet positions, including the most prestigious posts as Deputy Prime Minister, and as Minister of Finance, of Foreign Affairs and of Industry.
He advocates for developing a "knowledge economy" that will attract and retain the best and brightest minds around the world. He has openly expressed his interest in returning to politics in the future, with his eyes on the Prime Minister's Office.
Few speakers can rival Manley's knowledge and expertise. Audiences will walk away with new information backed by the first-hand experience from one of Canada's most productive and important political figures.
