Hon. Paul Hellyer

Paul Hellyer is one of Canada's best-known, most experienced politicians and elder statesman. He has held senior posts in the governments of Lester B. Pearson and Pierre E. Trudeau where he achieved the rank of senior minister and designated deputy prime minister. Recently, he has become so alarmed about his country's destruction caused by the 1995 Federal Budget and the continual loss of sovereignty, that he reentered the political scene to lead the fight for an independent Canada as head of the Canadian Action Party. He is the author of ten books including The Evil Empire: Globalization's Darker Side, Funny Money and his latest book Goodbye Canada.
