ANNEX B PRINCIPAL FIELDS OF PROFESSIONAL AND PARAPROFESSIONAL ACTIVITY WITH DESCRIPTION OF FUNCTIONS My professional and paraprofessional principal fields of activity can be described as follows : a) Law : Lawyer in private practice with a law firm that has an excellent reputation, with a specific focus on corporate and administrative law, as well as arbitration and mediation relating to commercial and sport sectors at national and international levels. I have been involved with corporations active in the manufacturing, communications, transport and pulp and paper industries. My field of practice was extended to significant transactions involving mergers and acquisitions, licence and technology transfer agreements, corporate financings and securities. A significant part of my practice was devoted to arbitration and mediation, firstly in disputes relating to labour law and gradually to disputes relating to commercial law due to my substantial experience and more recently in disputes relating to sport law. b) Diplomacy : Honorary Consul General for the Kingdom of Sweden in Quebec from October 1994 to January 2016. As such I acted as Sweden representative during numerous protocolary events in Quebec City and elsewhere. I have been in regular contact with the Ambassador of the Kingdom of Sweden to Canada, in Ottawa. I regularly received delegations of members of Sweden’s parliament, business people, journalists and artists. In October 2006, I welcomed His Majesty the King of Sweden, Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia of Sweden when they visited Quebec. On that occasion, I attended the reception 7 given in their honour by the Premier of Quebec and I accompanied the royal couple on their official meetings in Quebec with the Premier of Quebec and the Rector of Laval University. My husband and I also had the honour of being received by the King and Queen of Sweden at the Royal Palace of Stockholm in June 2006. Thus, I would feel very honoured and would be comfortable meeting the members of the Royal Family, heads of states, ambassadors, consuls and other representatives of foreign countries on their visits to Canada and Quebec in particular, since I am already experienced in such situations. c) Academia : Chair of the board of directors of the Institute for Advanced International Studies (HEI) of Laval University, then Director of HEI for three years. As such, I have led the members of the administrative support team and developed a strategy for the interdisciplinary programs of master and doctorate as well as the activities of the chairs of excellence and research groups. I have been in constant negotiations with the deans of the following faculties : - social sciences – arts - agriculture – business administration and law – in order to obtain the resources needed for the proper functioning of the programs of the Institute. I also organized symposia and conferences of international scope in exchange with other universities. I had to supervise the editing work of the scientific journal « Études internationales ». I have negotiated with provincial and federal governments as well as other financial partners for the continued funding for research centers, chairs of excellence and summer schools. Since the last three years, I am invited at the Law Faculty of Laval University to make presentations to students of first and second cycles of this Faculty concerning the functioning of boards of directors and the governance rules of corporations. 8 d) Government : Member and Chair of the Security Intelligence Review Committee reporting to the Parliament of Canada. As Chair of this Committee I presented the annual report as well as reports on specific topics prepared by my Committee to the members of the Subcommittee on National Security of the House of Commons and from time to time to the members of the Senate Committee on National Security and Defence and the Special Senate Committee on Anti-Terrorism (ANTT). I also accepted several invitations from my counterparts in various countries, including the United States, Great Britain, South Africa, Australia and Poland, whom I also received in Ottawa, to talk about subjects of mutual interest. All of these meetings involved protocol, since they were

This $10,000 grant was awarded by a jury consisting of experts from Canada’s arts community.

She went on to add: “This well-deserved grant is the result of several years of passion, sustained effort, and a peerless work ethic. We are delighted that he has been recognized in this way by the Hnatyshyn Foundation.” Admitted to l’École supérieure’s professional dance program in 2013, Étienne has distinguished himself as both a performer and a choreographer. Last year, he joined the Grands Ballets Canadiens for the Nutcracker and, this fall, for Jean-Christophe Maillot’s Romeo & Juliet.

Don’t Leave Home Without Them By Jean Cumming Choosing a litigator generally means your client has a problem; if your client has this problem in another country, there is heightened unpredictability in it – yes, even if the problem is in Canada. In view of the great similarities between our legal systems and the Canadian tendency to imitate the U.S. when drafting corporate and commercial legislation, it’s easy to forget that Canada has a different legal system than yours. The differences may come across as nuances, but if your client’s problem has developed into litigation or threatens to, you are tasked with closing off all nuances that can take that problem from bad to worse. That’s why you need the Lexpert® Guide to Canada’s top litigators. This Guide is a key information source for you to research and pursue the attorneys that are right for the forums in which you need them. And speaking of nuances, the forums themselves are increasingly diverse. Litigation is no longer synonymous with traditional courtrooms. The American Bar Association began study- ing this development several years ago under its “Vanishing Trial” initiative. Litigators as traditionally defi ned may be over-represented in our television shows (can you imagine a prime time drama set entirely in negotiation rooms?) but on the ground, the situation is much more complex.

As the Montreal Neurological Institute’s third director, having succeeded Theodore Rasmussen and Wilder Pen- field, he proved to be a visionary medical and scientific administrator. His keen interests in epilepsy and brain imaging were enhanced by a passion for medical history. Students and young people invariably gravitated to Dr. Feindel; he was a kind, patient, thoughtful, intelligent, and caring mentor who was never too busy for them. A pioneer in his own right, Dr. Feindel linked our modern neurosurgical world with the legacy of the first generations of important neurosurgeons and neuroscientists. http://thejns.org/doi/abs/10.3171/2014.10.JNS14263 KEY WORDS history of neurosurgery; William H.

Wilson April 2019 Abstract The research for this paper was done as part of a sesquicentennial project on 150 Years of Canadian Engineering. For those included, their ‘remembrance’ either has been generally recognised among the members of the profession or has been the subject of judgement on my part (and may or may not be shared). It is important to remember that Canada’s early engineers were mostly civils, that many were immigrants, and that the profession has been male-dominated, although this dominance has been slowly diminishing over the past several decades. About the Series Principally, the Cedargrove Series is intended to preserve some of the research, writings and oral presentations that the author has completed over the past half-century or so but has not yet published. It is, therefore, the modern-day variant of the privately-published books and pamphlets written by his forebears, such as his paternal grandfather and grandmother and his grandfather’s brother John.

The speed at which the financial crisis rocketed around the Earth made it crystal clear just how Iprofoundly globalization has changed our world. For better and occasionally for worse, we are all now inextricably connected in a way that was unimaginable only a few decades ago. Crises, though, also force us to step back, to re- evaluate our practices and values. This year served as a collective reminder that financial profit must be matched with long-term sustainability, indivi - dual gain with social justice, and progress with prudence. It brought home for me again, forcefully, not only how important universities are in helping society to do just that—but also how much more we can do. McGill already has a remarkable impact on our local and global com mu nities, as this report will demonstrate, but our success cannot deter us from striving to do better. Though one can always dwell on the obstacles we face, it is our privileges of history, location, talent and Claudio Calligaris Students Sara Traore mission that position us especially to meet under- within our McGill community is a hallmark of our and Max Finder anticipated social, environmental and finan - institution, and doing so with a deeper commit - are all smiles cial challenges.
