As part of its 2017 Summer Series, the Global Research News Hour presents a speech by the Honourable Paul Hellyer, from an October 2016 speech at the University of Winnipeg's EckHardt-Grammattee Hall. In this one hour presentation, to an audience of about 100 people, Canada's longest serving Privy Councillor and former Minister of Defence discusses the need for monetary reform which woud allow for the financing of important and needed infrastructure projects, and transition away from fossil fuels as well as building capacity for coveted social programs like health care and education. He also explains that the Free Trade pact being negotiated between Canada and the European Union would jeopardise forever the ability of Canada to utilise those monetary tools. Mr. Helllyer gave a series of these talks around the time that Canada was set to officially sign the pact known as CETA in Brussells.
