Julius H. Grey (born 1948) is a Canadian lawyer and professor, and one of Canada's leading socialist and minority rights advocates. Born in Wrocław, Poland, he received a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1971, a Bachelor of Civil Law degree in 1971, and a Master of Arts degree in 1973 from McGill University. Grey has been a member of the Quebec Bar and the Canadian Bar Association since 1974. Since 1976 he has been involved in numerous associations such as the Canadian Foundation for Individual Rights, serving as its president from 1985 to 1988. He has been a professor of law at McGill University from 1979 until 1993. Grey assisted in annulling a stipulation in the Charte de la Langue Française (Bill 101) that forbade the application of different languages on business signboards. Presently, French must merely be the main language but others are allowed.[1]

Grey defended La servante écarlate by Margaret Atwood, the French version of The Handmaid's Tale, in the French version of Canada Reads, broadcast on Radio-Canada in 2004. Grey successfully defended La Presse Chinoise against Falun Gong's defamation lawsuit in 2005. Grey is rumoured to be a future star candidate for the New Democratic Party in Montreal, following that party's successful capture of Outremont in a by-election by Thomas Mulcair on September 17, 2007

Legal experience with refugee claimants detained on immigration grounds in Canada (Montréal)  (an excerpt of Dorais' volunteer work with immigrants prior to joining the government Ministry)
The life in Bourj el Barajne refugee camp is so rich and full of surprises 
that it is hard to describe...no words as strong enough to depict the
fantastic human experience that I am living here. This morning, I woke up,
ready for another amazing day. I went to the nursery to teach english to
my 27 students' class. The youth, aged between 10 and 12 years old,
were full of energy to spend! Today, we discussed about sports and hobbies and played a
thrilling game of pictionary. The students really enjoyed it. Then, we
played another group game and the time was over...one hour passes so quickly
when you have fun! After, I ran to the Najdeh building (an organization
with whom we work) to teach my French course at 11h30: j'aime, je n'aime
pas, je suis content, je suis triste, je suis fachŽ..., we have studied how to
express feelings and the students realized and amazing collage about the
different things they like...
At 12h30, no time to rest...I ran again to the Women Center to teach
my other English class, this time, with older students. I gave them the
coorected text of "hopes and dreams" that they wrote the previous
class and they wrote the final version of a new paper, painted it and decorated it. I was very
proud of their work: those texts will be presented to Canadians when we go back.
It is so moving to read about their dreams and ambitions when you
know the exclusion and difficulty they faced here daily.
After my last class, I went to visit, Suraya, my new friend, an old woman
who owns a store inside the camp. She told me about her life in the camp,
life in Palestine, her husband who died, her family...I have a lot to
learn from this strong women and all the other strong and extraordinary people
that I am meeting here.
Here I am, at the Internet cafe inside the camp...and I'll come back home
to prepare the material and the activities for the courses of tomorrow...the
week is passing so quickly!
I already know that I am living one of the most meaningful experience of
my life and that I'll come back transformed...I am so glad to have the chance
to be here this summer and I sincerely wish that more people could experiment
it.

Time is the great challenge. Today’s executives need to make every minute count – whether they’re working or relaxing. With new executive jet requirements, the need for the aircraft to go from boardroom to bedroom is even greater. Over the course of its 12-year history, Giasson Design has been a pioneer in ergonomics and interior design. We’re at the forefront of a new school of aircraft interior design that is turning executive aircraft interiors into comfortable, livable, multi-functional spaces. We have built an enviable reputation in the industry for delivering far more than interior design. Clients such as Johnson & Johnson, International Paper, and the Bank of Nova Scotia have all turned to us not only for design but also to act as their advocate with the completion centers, ensuring on-time and on-budget delivery. Our services have since expanded to include green aircraft inspection and technical inspection into final delivery. We don’t just make nice things. We understand the importance of functionality in design, especially when dealing with limited spaces where executives spend hundreds – even thousands – of hours a year. Value, personalized design, functionality and lasting quality are what we’re about.

Nothing is lost, nothing is created, everything is transformed

Putting the exhibition together was quite a marathon. After an initial, exploratory phase, the curators drew up an exhaustive list of artists, covering all disciplines and generations. Then, over the summer and fall of 2007, they followed up with visits to studios and exhibitions, and numerous meetings as they refined their search for formally and thematically innovative practices that showed a high degree of mastery. Out of this process, 38 artists and artists collectives were selected. The showcased works all reflect an openness to the present in their approach to fundamental issues. They also attest to the vibrancy of Québec art, as well as its diversity and relevance. Only when it came down to the final selection was the title chosen, inspired by the nature of the works included and Lavoisier’s famous maxim: “Nothing is lost, nothing is created, everything is transformed,” which was in turn borrowed from Greek philosopher Anaxagoras of Clazomenae.

Musée curators Josée Bélisle, Pierre Landry and Mark Lanctôt, and Chief Curator Paulette Gagnon organized the exhibition, while their colleague Lesley Johnstone acted as project coordinator.
