The Government of Canada recognizes the importance of promoting the leadership development, public policy training and civic engagement of tomorrow's leaders.
The Honourable Pascale St-Onge, Minister of Canadian Heritage, today announced $10 million in funding, as well as a matching fund of up to $10 million, to St. Francis Xavier University in support of its Brian Mulroney Institute of Government. The Government of Canada is allocating these funds in honour of the legacy of the 18th Prime Minister of Canada, the Right Honourable Brian Mulroney.
The Institute, established in 2018, is a centre for research and analysis in public policy, education and government studies. Its core mission is to provide an innovative and stimulating forum for addressing today's political challenges and training tomorrow's public leaders.
