About the Event
Join us for our annual Dr. Harold Walter Siebens Lecture and Luncheon. We are pleased to be hosting a conversation with the Right Honourable Stephen J. Harper, 22nd Prime Minister of Canada, on A Path Forward: Confronting the Challenges Facing Canada at a Time of Geopolitical Change.
In these turbulent and uncertain times, Canadians are increasingly worried about the rising cost of living, their livelihoods, and the economy. With a recession expected this year, and low growth for the foreseeable future, Canada needs a clear plan to foster an economic environment that creates jobs and opportunities. Prime Minister Harper will draw on his unique experience in articulating how we can navigate the most pressing economic issues of our time and focus on long-term economic sustainability. In addition to the serious economic and policy issues facing Canada, we are also witnessing the return of geopolitics, including Chinese meddling in Canadian elections, an intensifying U.S.-China relationship and an expansionist Russia. Known for his thoughtful and frank analysis, Mr. Harper will share his insights on how Canada and the democratic world can re-establish leadership, restore international peace and security, engage wary citizens tested by the realities of globalization, and confront the challenges to global order that threaten our economic future.
Luncheon registration and reception will begin at 11:15 a.m. followed by lunch at 11:45 in the British Columbia Ballroom at the Fairmont Hotel Vancouver.
