Speaking at the G8 in Moscow

Dsc05629_3In December 2006, I was asked to speak at the G8 in Russia on establishing effective governance for public-private partnerships designed to counter terrorism.

This was a major event and Canada played a lead role in the development of the recommendations and declarations that emerged from this forum.

Based on the discussions in Russia, it's become clear that the work we are doing in Canada, and the issues that Canadian organizations are facing as it relates to governance in national security and public safety, are not unique. These are common issues that nations around the world are working to address.
