Former Québec politician, Richard French, will be talking about ‘The Quiet Revolution’.

Prior to his work at the CRTC, French had a distinguished career in both the public and private sectors. Holding a D.Phil in Modern History from Magdalen College, Oxford, which he attended as a Rhodes Scholar, he taught at McGill University before entering provincial politics in Quebec, which lead him to serve as a Member of the National Assembly as well as Minister of Communications. Upon leaving public life, he held several senior executive positions in the private sector, including vice-president of Bell Canada and CEO of Tata Communications, a mobile communications firm located in Andhra Pradesh, India.
