Excellent. Thank you.
Like many academics at major Canadian universities, I had the opportunity to travel abroad to teach and give lectures. The interesting aspect of this experience was becoming familiar with the different cultures that are also part of the Canadian community. There are people in Canada who come from very different cultures and it is important, when considering their files, to be able to correctly assess the contribution they can make to an institution like the Senate.
Beyond that, there were rather academic lectures and courses that have no bearing on the Senate. This international experience is not in itself a fully relevant or essential part of my qualifications.
