It's a great honour to have been asked to deliver this year's
Mary Donaldson Memorial Lecture. When Judith
Silverthorne sent me copies of the speeches of my
predecessors I must admit I had a moment of panic. Even
the names on the list are daunting: among others.Adrienne
Clarkson, Pierre Berton, Stephen Lewis, Mel Hurtig and
the best teacher I ever had, Carlyle King, have spoken to
you.
