05:53- About the book Say Please and Thank You & Stand in Line
- For me, it was an opportunity to tell a story about us as humanity.
- It is a story about a family in Canada, but it is related to all of us.
- In the 21st century, we need to see one another as the potential allies rather than the certain enemies, people want us to see.
12:06- What made you choose Competition and Foreign Investment as your specialization?
- I always loved watching the marketplace and why people buy, why they sell.
- Often it is about need, but many things in the economy are about things people like or what draws them, what repels them and how do things work, how do you tap into that.
- I got to practice in competition law and I saw it’s an area that really looks at why markets work that way.
- My practice is advising companies when there’s a merger.
