Former prime minister Jean Chrétien sits down with TVO's Allan Gregg for a wide-ranging interview Friday December 14, 2007 at 10 pm on Allan Gregg in Conversation. They discuss Chrétien's views on the state of politics in Canada, his recent heart surgery, as well as his new memoir, My Years as Prime Minister.
Released earlier this fall, the book chronicles the high points and challenges of Chrétien's decade in office as Canada's twentieth prime minister - including eliminating the national deficit, the 1995 cliffhanger Quebec referendum on separation, his decision to keep Canada out of the Iraq war, and the rift between Chrétien and his successor, Paul Martin.
Allan Gregg in Conversation features host Allan Gregg in thought-provoking discussions with some of the world's foremost thinkers on social, cultural, political and economic issues.
