<p><span style="font-size:16px"><span style="font-family:Georgia,serif">After some 12 years of exploring careers (officer in the Armed Forces, lawyer, manager in an airline company), fate led me to the public service. For some 25 years, I have had the pleasure of working with passionate people on files that are important to me, such as environmental programs (Transport Canada), citizen participation initiatives (Canadian Heritage) and gender equality (Status of Women), among others. I finally ended up five years ago at Library and Archives Canada (LAC) as Secretary General, a position I held until very recently. Having decided to retire in the coming months, I am now my Deputy Minister’s miscellaneous stuff ninja, responsible for files that will serve the institution in its transformation endeavours. Of course, I continue to serve as Official Languages Champion!</span></span></p><p></p><p></p>
