Close collaboration between business and government is essential for the development and effective implementation of good public policy. To do so, there must be trust between business and government and between business and the public. For his presentation, Patrick will draw from the discussions that took place on September 15 as part of the 2nd Annual CN-Tellier Forum on Working Together to Rebuild Trust and Manage Uncertainty. Please note - this event is taking place in French.
