When it comes to walking the talk, and especially when it comes to politicians walking the talk, the name of Brian Tobin always seems to come up. One of Canada's best-known political figures, Tobin's bravado, combined with his passion for Canada and colourful style, have made him one of the country's most popular speakers. Book Speaker

Brian Tobin shot to national and international fame in 1995, when, as Fisheries Minister, he forced the captain of a Spanish trawler to retreat beyond Newfoundland's fishing boundaries. After a four-year term as Premier of Newfoundland, he returned to the federal arena in 1999. As Minister of Industry, he was instrumental in developing an innovation agenda for Canada and was one of the first Canadians to promote the idea that research and innovation are the keys to long-term success for Canadian business.

Since leaving politics, Tobin has continued to contribute to the national agenda—through his recently published memoirs, All in Good Time, and a regular column in The Globe and Mail.
