Download the report in PDF format
Exerting influence with one’s words in public life — as an innovator in business or a player in the political arena — requires a finely tuned approach to the art of persuasion, particularly if you’ve been tapped by the other team to shed light on a seemingly intractable foreign affair.
Few do it more skillfully and passionately than former industry minister John Manley, also a member of MaRS’ Board of Directors.
Appointed by Prime Minister Stephen Harper to lead a five-member panel on the future of Canada’s role in the Afghan mission, Manley has injected renewed vigor into a critical discussion for Canadians who care about the prospect of political stability, military security and economic development around the world.
