You might be interested in knowing that Michaelle Jean is the daughter of a refugee mother from Haiti. It was a great day for Canada when she became Governor General. I am overjoyed that the future of Canada is now in the hands of a woman of colour. Above all, she is an excellent communicator who is fluent in five languages. I think she can handle this and wish her the best.

"Ms. Jean has won numerous honours, including the Prix Mireille-Lanctôt for a report on spousal violence; the Prix Anik for best information reporting in Canada for her investigation of the power of money in Haitian society; and the inaugural Amnesty International Canada Journalism Award. She has also been named to the Ordre des Chevaliers de La Pléiade, by the Assemblée internationale des parlementaires de langue française, and has been made an honorary citizen by the City of Montreal and the Ministère de l'Immigration et des relations avec les citoyens of Quebec in recognition of her accomplishments in communications."
