    In November 2012, Preston Manning received a Lifetime Achievement Award at the Maclean’s Parliamentarian of the Year gala celebration. At that time, he sat down with Alberta correspondent Colby Cosh to discuss his life and legacy.

    Manning, of course, is in Ottawa this weekend for the 2013 Manning Networking Conference. Watch our site for full coverage from Paul Wells, Aaron Wherry and the Maclean’s Ottawa bureau.
