These changes are making new policy development more important than ever for our future well being.

He began his public sector career in 1977 with the Government of Saskatchewan. In 1982, Mr. Wouters joined the federal Department of Energy, Mines and Resources. In 1990, he accepted a position as Director, Economic Development Policy Branch with the Department of Finance, becoming General Director in 1993.
