About the 2018 Fall Dinner:

- Fireside chat: Canada’s Ambassador to the United States David MacNaughton will discuss the dynamics of this evolving relationship between longtime neighbours with the Hon. Brian Tobin.

- An interactive panel discussion with expat Canadian journalists in Washington – Luiza Savage of POLITICO and Ali Velshi of MSNBC, along with renowned academic Janice Gross Stein of the Munk School of Global Affairs & Public Policy – to unpack the current state of U.S. politics and economic policy and the impacts on Canada.
About this event: This annual dinner is a signature Public Policy Forum event hosted in Ottawa, attracting hundreds of leaders in business, the public service, academic and not-for-profit worlds, as well as elected officials and political staff. It is an event not to be missed by those with a keen interest in the role of public policy and the public service in strengthening Canada’s democracy and role in the world.
