Thank you M. St. Arnault for that kind introduction and good afternoon everyone.
It is very good to be back in Montréal and to be here with you in my first public speech since joining IIROC last November.
I am always pleased to be in Montréal in part because my connection with the city goes back many years – in fact my first memory as a child is coming to Montréal from Ottawa to see my grandparents and to experience Expo ’67.
I have been fortunate since then to be able to maintain contact with Québec throughout my career, as a banker and as the country manager for the rating agency Moody’s.
Cick here for the full speach.
