==Biography==

As a student at the [[University of Montreal]], Jean received a [[Bachelor of Arts]] degree in Italian and Hispanic languages and literature and, from [[1984]] until [[1986]], taught [[Italian Studies]] while completing a [[Master of Arts]] degree in [[comparative literature]]. Jean attended the universities of [[University of Florence|Florence]], [[University of Perugia|Perugia]], and the [[Catholic University of Milan]] to continue her studies in language and literature.

 

 

She has one daughter, Marie-Eden, adopted from Haiti.

==Governor General==

 

 

Jean is Canada's first [[Black Canadian|black]] Governor General, the second person without either a political or military background (after [[Adrienne Clarkson]]), the second person from a visible minority and (again after Clarkson), foreign-born (like Clarkson and breaking tradition since [[Vincent Massey]]'s appointment), the second person in an [[interracial marriage]] (again after Clarkson), the third woman (after [[Jeanne Sauvé]] and Clarkson), the fourth-youngest person (after [[John George Edward Henry Douglas Sutherland Campbell, 9th Duke of Argyll|Lord Lorne]] (33 years old in 1878), [[Henry Charles Keith Petty-Fitzmaurice, 5th Marquess of Lansdowne, 6th Earl of Kerry|Lord Lansdowne]] (38 years old in [[1883]]) and [[Edward Schreyer]] (43 years old in 1979), and the fourth journalist (after Sauvé, [[Roméo LeBlanc]] and Clarkson) to hold the position. She is also the first Governor General to be born during the reign of Queen Elizabeth II.

 

 

Jean, in her first remarks after her appointment, said she wanted to reach out to all Canadians, regardless of their background. Jean also made it a goal to reach out especially to Canadian youth and those who feel disadvantaged. {{ref|CP}} Jean also encouraged all Canadians to become involved in community affairs.

 

=== Reaction ===

* [[Stephen Harper]], the leader of the [[Conservative Party of Canada|Conservative]] party and then [[Leader of the Opposition (Canada)|leader of the opposition]] (currently the Prime Miniter), congratulated Jean on her appointment and said that her life story ''"serves as a great example to many Canadians. I know Mme. Jean will serve [[Canada]] in a dignified, vice-regal fashion."'' {{ref|Harper}}

* The departing Governor General, [[Adrienne Clarkson]], applauded Martin for choosing Jean by saying she is ''"an exciting and imaginative choice for Governor General."'' Clarkson said she and her husband [[John Ralston Saul]] look forward to Jean being invested with her position with ''"great enthusiasm."'' {{ref|Clarkson}}

 

On [[August 17]], Jean responded to the controversy, with the following statement:

 

She also clarified that she and her spouse "have never belonged to a political party or the separatist movement." Following Jean's statement, Martin responded "There is no doubt in my mind that her devotion to Canada is longstanding and resolute,"[http://pm.gc.ca/eng/news.asp?id=564] although some critics continued to argue that her response remained too vague.

 

 

 

In an interview conducted in October 2005 Jean's husband affirmed that he and his wife were Quebecois before they were Canadians.

During Remembrance Day ceremonies in Ottawa on [[November 11]], a handful veterans turned their backs on the Governor General as her car drove up to the National War Memorial. The protesters said they believe Jean and her husband are or were Quebec separatist sympathizers who worked to break up a country the veterans fought to defend.

Jean later said that her opponents had attempted to manufacture a controversy out of the lighthearted event in order to discredit her.

==Investiture of the 27th governor general==

 

 

At her investiture on September 27, 2005, Jean declared, "the time of the two solitudes [referring to Quebec and the rest of Canada] is past." In her speech, described as "moving," Jean set aside the usual platitudes. She called for protection of the environment, the shielding of culture against globalization and an end to the marginalization of young people. According to one media account, "... the pomp and circumstance of Canada's most significant state function were blended with humour, passion and even tears." [http://www.canada.com/national/features/governor_general/story.html?id=78549c49-781f-43c0-908d-20f24db2ca5a] ''Globe and Mail'' columnist, John Ibbitson, reflected the general captivation with the new governor general in the following way:

 

==Arms==

Following her installation as Governor General, a personal coat of arms for Jean was unveiled. The arms depict her Haitian roots. The shield shows a [[sand dollar]], a special talisman for Jean and the crown symbolising her vice regal authority. The crest is a shell in a broken chain, symbolising her ancestors' escape from slavery. The supporters are two [[Simbi]]s, water spirits in Haitian culture. The motto is ''Briser les solitudes'', which means ''Breaking down solitudes''. Around the shield is the circlet of the [[Order of Canada]], with its motto, ''Desiderantes meliorem patriam'', which means ''They desire a better country''.
