Summary Profile

The Right Honourable Joe Clark was Canada’s youngest Prime Minister, and one of the most successful Foreign Ministers in Canadian history.  At home and abroad, he earned and maintains a reputation for integrity and principle.

Today, he applies that experience on the front lines of Canada’s work in promoting democracy and encouraging development, in countries from Haiti, to Nigeria, to Ghana, to the Democratic Republic of Congo. 

A respected commentator in North America, he is also an innovator in the developing world, helping teach African farmers to harvest and market medicinal plants, unlocking the value of underwater forests, helping design independent Electoral Commissions. 

Joe Clark played a key role in some of the defining accomplishments of recent history – the Free Trade Agreement, the fight against apartheid, the end of the Cold War, the negotiation of the Charlottetown Accord.  He connects Canada’s past to our future, and speaks passionately of the potential of modern Canada to make a real difference in today’s complex and challenging world.
