For his sustained commitment to our country and for his effective and ethical leadership as a senior public servant.

Morris Rosenberg was the epitome of an effective and ethical public servant, highly regarded for ôspeaking truth to powerö. A long-serving federal deputy minister with the departments of Justice, Health, and Foreign Affairs, he tackled a broad range of national and international issues at transformative moments in history. He oversaw antiterrorism legislation in the aftermath of 9/11, coordinated the federal response to the H1N1 crisis, and led Foreign Affairs through a period of global power rebalancing and upheaval in the Middle East. He now heads the Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation, which supports critical thinking and engagement on issues important to our collective future.
