Speakers

The Honourable Jean Chrétien
AIA Canada is pleased to announce that The Honourable Jean Chrétien will be the closing speaker at the Aftermarket Conference for Executives.

Born in Quebec, Canada, the son of a paper mill machinist, Chrétien was born to be a leader. Trained as a lawyer and serving as Canada’s 20th prime minister, Prime Minister Chrétien has made his mark as a legislator and statesman. His career of over 40 years in public service spanned six prime ministers, during which time he held numerous cabinet posts and led Canada as Prime Minister for over 10 years. Unpredictable and surprising, Jean Chrétien is a leader of courage and conscience. His insights on the geopolitical landscape make him an invaluable authority on globalization, the world economy, politics, and social issues. Mr. Chrétien has agreed to a Q & A format for his presentation.

Come prepared for this once in lifetime opportunity to have a personal conversation with one of Canada’s most respected leaders!
