Passing of Professor Emeritus Gilles Paquet, first CEA Secretary-Treasurer: The CEA has learned of the passing of Gilles Paquet of the Telfer School of Management and founding member of the CEA. A member of the Order of Canada since 1992 and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada since 1976, Gilles was also President of the Royal Society of Canada from 2003 to 2005. He was educated at Laval and Queen’s Universities, and was a postdoctoral fellow at the University of California. Gilles was very active as a Senior Research Fellow at the University of Ottawa’s Centre on Governance, of which he was the founding director in 1997. Gilles was the first and longest serving Secretary-Treasurer of the CEA (from 1967-1981) and played a key role in the creation of the Association. Up until his death, Gilles remained active in the Association and continued to take care of translating abstracts of CJE articles. We are tremendously grateful for Gilles, his life, and his many contributions. more>> Death of Professor Ramazan Gencay: It is with sadness that the Canadian Economics Association notes the tragic death of Ramazan (Ramo) Gencay of Simon Fraser University.
