Testimonials for The Right Honourable Michäelle Jean

When she met the families of soldiers killed in Afghanistan, she showed a rare empathy for their pain. When she travelled abroad, she related as an internationally minded person to people in other situations, speaking different languages. When she went to the Arctic, she ate seal meat; when she met the poor, she was never condescending; when she gathered women's groups to Rideau Hall, she was one of them; when she handed out honours or met diplomats, she spoke to the occasion with fitting words.

Mme. Jean was a delight to have present in our group. Her message was inspiring and her presence was bold and impactful. She is the perfect touch of class and she was truly passionate in presenting her speech, and her passion was contagious. She showed us both her serious and professional side along with her fun spirit and charming nature. It was a perfect blend of both and really was a phenomenal end to a very powerful day.
