Renegotiating NAFTA. Muslim cemetery. Formula E barriers.

Concordia faculty and researchers are regularly asked to offer expert, informed opinions on many of today's most pressing problems. Read some of the latest news items about Concordians:

Belkhodja was interviewd on CBC's Radio Noon as well as the Radio-Canada morning radio program in Moncton, N.B. (no links available).
  
  
• Michel Magnan, professor of accountancy and Stephen A. Jarislowsky Chair in Corporate Governance, is quoted in an article in LaPresse.ca about the City of Montreal spending $7.5-million dollars to build new security barriers for the Formula E race, at the end of the month. Magnan tells the paper that because Montreal so far has signed on for only three years as race host, it would have made more sense to rent security barriers rather than build new ones at greater cost.
