Directeur de recherche au CIRANO, Claude Montmarquette est un économiste reconnu internationalement pour les applications qu'il a faites de sa discipline dans des domaines très variés, tels les choix publics, la famille, l'éducation et le travail. Dans l'ensemble de ces domaines, il a toujours réussi à trouver des données pertinentes pour tester, à l'aide des méthodes économétriques les plus appropriées, la pertinence de la théorie économique. L'habileté de Claude Montmarquette à concilier théorie économique et données empiriques rend ses recherches non seulement intéressantes au niveau académique mais également pertinentes au niveau de l'explication des comportements des individus, des ménages et des États.

Norman Frank Moody has achieved distinction in several aspects of electrical and electronic research in England and in Canada in University, Government, and Industrial Laboratories. He pioneered the new field of electronic circuitry which utilizes the vast variety of semi-conductor components now available. The group of engineers trained by him at the Telecommunications Establishment of DRB built the two successful Canadian satellites. In recent years he has concentrated on the application of electronics in medicine. Recognition of his eminence in this very new field of interdisciplinary research led to his present appointment as Director of the Institute of Bio-Medical Electronics at the University of Toronto.

LONG CITATION A playwright, producer, director, actor, composer, essayist, and teacher, James Mavor Moore was the first artist to chair the Canada Council for the Arts (1979-83). While still a student, Moore was a pioneer in Canadian radio drama and documentary, and became active with his mother Dora Mavor Moore in the post-war revival of professional theatre. He has appeared in some 60 feature films, created over 100 plays, documentaries, musicals and opera librettos, helped to found numerous cultural organizations, and taught at York University (1970-84) and the University of Victoria (1984-2004). Moore is a Companion of the Order of Canada (1988), and among other honours holds the Molson Prize (1986), Governor General's Award for Lifetime Achievement (1999), and honorary degrees from eight universities.

Cathleen S. Morawetz is one of the world's greatest applied mathematicians. Born and reared in Canada, she has never forgotten her Canadian roots and is still contributing to mathematics in Canada. She has proved deep theorems about partial differential equations, which have significant applications in aerodynamics, acoustics and optics. Her work is important for problems involving shock waves, and she is a leading authority on problems of transonic flow and scattering theory for wave equations. She has received two Guggenheim fellowships and seven honorary degrees from prestigious universities, and is a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and a member of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences.

L. W. Morley, Ph.D., Chief, Geophysics Division, Geological Survey of Canada, has exercised a double influence. In operating an efficient organization for airborne magnetometer, electromagnetic, and radiometric surveys, for seismic surveys, and for studies in palaeomagnetism and radio-activity he has provided a service of great value to geologists and prospectors. By his inspiration he has led geologists, both within and outside the survey, to an appreciation of what geophysics can do to help their work and enlarge their vision. In 1963, propounded the theory of the magnetic imprinting of the ocean basins which was fundamental to the later theory of Plate Tectonics. Instrumental in organizing remote sensing in Canada and became the founding Director-general of the The Canada Centre for Remote Sensing (1971). Founding Director of the Institute for Space and Terrestrial Science, York, Waterloo and Western Universities which was one of the 7 centres of Excellence funded by the Ontario Government (1987-90).
