The following is an announcement from. LAC.

"Library and Archives Canada (LAC) invites you to an hour of lively conversation with the former Prime Minister of Canada, the Right Honourable Jean Chrétien.

Mr. Chrétien will be the guest of Dr. Guy Berthiaume, Librarian and Archivist of Canada, as part of the Signatures Series, which features original interviews with individuals who have donated their archives to LAC.

Almost 40 years of political life are contained in the documents held by LAC. These records not only cover Mr. Chrétien's long political career, but also provide a unique perspective on a large portion of Canadian history. Mr. Chrétien had an impact on world events such as major international summits, the Kyoto Protocol, the Iraq War and the Ottawa Convention to ban landmines, to name a few.
