Marcel Cadieux

1981 Read Medal Recipient (posthumously)

Q.C., O.C., B.A., LLL. (Montreal)

Marcel Cadieux served in the Department of External Affairs for over 40 years, including as Legal Advisor and Under-Secretary of State (1964-1970) and as Canada’s first francophone Ambassador to the United States (1970-75). Mr. Cadieux was an efficient administrator and uncompromising federalist, pressing for a department and a foreign policy that would reflect Canada’s bicultural origins. He wrote “The Canadian Diplomat: An Essay in Definition”, a pioneering work for aspiring diplomats (1963). Mr. Cadieux headed the Canadian Mission to the EEC (1975-77) and was the chief negotiator for Canada-US fisheries and boundary disputes (1977-79). The Canadian Institute of International Affairs presents the annual Marcel Cadieux Distinguished Writing Award in recognition of the author of the best article on Canadian Foreign policy to appear in the "International Journal".
