Paul Daniel Muller is a public affairs consultant with a longstanding interest in the design,
marketing and implementation of public policy.
He is the co-author with Leon Courville of Place à l’initiative, published in 2003 by Éditions
Québec Amérique. This 240-page essay questions the so-called “Quebec model” and proposes
ways to apply market incentives to the provision of public services. He has also recently authored
two notes published by the Montreal Economic Institute, one on private-public partnerships, the
other on the appropriate use of user fees in funding public services. He is an occasional media
commentator and contributor to public policy debates.
Paul Daniel Muller entered public service in 1987 as a policy analyst for the Government of
Quebec’s Ministère du Conseil exécutif, where his job was to evaluate social programs and
policy. In 1989, as an assistant to Premier Robert Bourassa, he helped prepare that
administration’s platform for the upcoming provincial general election. From 1990 through 1993,
he served as a senior policy advisor to the Quebec Minister of Immigration, where he was
responsible for the design and marketing of Quebec’s immigration and integration policy,
pursuant to a new federal-provincial accord.
In 1993, he set up shop as a public affairs consultant. To date, he has completed over 300
assignments, including helping clients prepare briefs to regulatory bodies, annual reports to
shareholders, and proposals to expand their business. His clients include industry groups and
large Canadian corporations.
On several occasions, Paul Daniel Muller has helped political organizations expound their ideas
and develop policy. In the period leading up to the 1995 Quebec Referendum, he was
speechwriter for Daniel Johnson, leader of Quebec Liberal Party. He wrote the federalist camp’s
manifesto, which was distributed to three million homes throughout the province. In 1996, he
served as secretary to the QLP’s constitutional committee, which produced the report
“Reconnaissance et interdépendance - L'
identité québécoise et le fédéralisme canadien.” Early
2003, he led the team that prepared the ADQ’s platform “Pour un gouvernement responsable” for
that spring’s general election.
Born in 1962, Paul Daniel Muller was educated at Collège Stanislas in Montreal. Fluently
bilingual, he holds an M.A. in Economics (public finance) from Concordia University.
