In Conversation with Joe Clark and signing How We Lead: Canada in a Century of Change
The unique combination of Canada’s success at home as a diverse society and its reputation internationally as a sympathetic and respected partner constitute national assets that are at least as valuable as its natural resources. Assets have no value if Canadians don’t recognize or use them, or worse, if they waste them.
Joe Clark was elected in 1979 as Canada’s sixteenth and youngest prime minister. During the Mulroney government, he served as minister of external affairs from 1984 to 1991, and as minister responsible for constitutional affairs from 1991 to 1993. He was elected again to the House of Commons in 2000. He now works as a political and business consultant in Ottawa.
