Government
In this episode, Lori Turnbull, deputy editor of CGE, talks with Michael Wernick about Canada's response to COVID-19 and the challenges that lie ahead on rebuilding and opening the economy. Michael retired in 2019 after a 38-year career as one of the key leaders of Canada’s world-class Federal public service, culminating in his appointment in 2016 as the 23rd Clerk of the Privy Council and Secretary to Cabinet. He is currently working with MNP as a Strategic Advisor Associate on their Ottawa Federal Government Consulting team.
