Prime Minister Paul Martin announces the appointment of Michaëlle Jean as the next Governor General-delegate. Jean will be the 27th Governor General of Canada, and will be installed on September 27, 2005. PM Martin thanks the current Governor General, Adrienne Clarkson, for her work, particularly in the arts and with Canada's north. He then talks about Jean's background, and states that the television host, journalist, and documentary film producer will bring to the office a unique point of view and special experience. After this announcement, the PM responds to questions from the media. Michaëlle Jean, accompanied by her husband and daughter, gives a short speech and takes questions from the media as well. She discusses growing up in Quebec after her family left Haiti as refugees, and her love of Canada's diversity. She states that her years of work as a journalist have strengthened her appreciation of the increasingly complex reality of the world, and that she wants to make the institution of Governor General one that reflects the voices of Canadians. To accomplish that, she will travel to all parts of Canada and meet a variety of Canadians. She also emphasizes the importance of respect, and says that she will stay true to her convictions and be a Governor General working for an ideal. <46mn>
