On October 19, 2005, 12 prominent voices from Quebec's political, business, media and academic domains published the manifesto Pour un Québec Lucide/Clear-eyed Vision of Québec. Signed by, among others, former Premier and Parti Québécois leader Lucien Bouchard, La Presse editor André Pratte, respected economists Robert Lacroix and Pierre Fortin and Oscar-winning film producer Denise Robert, the treatise delivered a call to sweeping economic, social and attitudinal change based on a pointed warning: "Our society and our standard of living are under imminent threat. We must act now or face a long, slow decline."
One year later, on October 19, 2006, McGill University, in partnership with the Human Capital Institute and the Board of Trade of Metropolitan Montreal, will host Our Future: A Public Dialogue, a day-long assessment of the issues raised in Pour un Québec Lucide, and a re-engagement of the debate it unleashed.
Our Future: A Public Dialogue will feature prominent keynote speakers and panelists along with 250 participants addressing four key themes: Demographics, Globalization, Education and Innovation.
