Former prime ministers Stephen Harper and Jean Chretien sat down for a fireside chat in Ottawa to discuss the topic of “Canada and the World,” moderated by the Royal Canadian Geographical Society (RCGS).

Ahead of the conversation, Harper received an RCGS Gold Medal at a ceremony in Ottawa, in recognition of his “distinguished career in public service,” according to the organization.
