He served as Quebec카지노 게임 컬렉션s first Minister of Education and Minister of Youth from 1960-1966 and was a prominent figure in the province카지노 게임 컬렉션s Quiet Revolution.

After he left government, Gérin-Lajoie taught for several years before beginning to work at CIDA, a post he held from 1970-1977. Under his leadership, the Canadian budget for development programs grew from $350 million to over $1 billion. In 1977, he established the Paul Gerin-Lajoie Foundation, a charitable organization in the field of international cooperation. In 1989, he published his book, Battles of a Quiet Revolutionary.

Gérin-Lajoie카지노 게임 컬렉션s lecture was a part of the series on 카지노 게임 컬렉션Canada카지노 게임 컬렉션s Involvement in Latin America.카지노 게임 컬렉션 He provided insight into the thinking behind the Canadian International Development Agency카지노 게임 컬렉션s policies and programming under his leadership. The year 1974 presented a turning point, Gérin-Lajoie argued, in the relations between developing and developed countries, as the latter became increasingly disenchanted with international aid and the existing world order. The outcome of the year카지노 게임 컬렉션s events would lead either to breakdown of relations or breakthrough to greater equality. The major challenge of our time was the establishment of a new world order, on the basis of cooperation for economic liberation: 카지노 게임 컬렉션It is neither just nor politically astute nor economically beneficial in the long-run to leave one quarter of humanity in squalor and degradation while the rest march on to greater growth and increased consumption.카지노 게임 컬렉션 Gérin-Lajoie ended by considering Canada카지노 게임 컬렉션s place in the development arena, suggesting that Canadians were inclined to support a constructive approach, seeking accommodation and recognizing the common interest of all in a viable international system. It was clear that the Third World had rejected an aid-centric view of development, insisting that aid was only useful in complement to equitable trade and investment policies. In this context, he believed Canada카지노 게임 컬렉션s could serve the role of bridge-builder. However, the country had never, in the 25 years since the Colombo Plan, faced such challenges in its relations with the Third World, as fundamental assumptions about them were being questioned.
