Guy Laliberté and Robert Lepage discuss Laliberté's GAIA project at the Grand Opening on June 7, 2012.

Guy Laliberté is a larger-than-life Quebec native who has significantly raised the profile of his home city and province, the circus arts, and more recently, global concerns about access to safe water.

In his most recent project, GAIA, Laliberté takes a direct shot at the water issue.
