Allan Gotlieb, Ambassador of Canada to the United States from 1981 to 1989

“I am delighted to have the opportunity to address the Montreal Economic Institute. This institution, under the leadership of Michel Kelly-Gagnon, has few equals, if any, in the impact it has had on public policy debates in this country in so short period of time. […] Along with a very few other precious think tanks in our country, it is at the forefront of the thrust of new ideas for social and economic change in Canada.”
