I have admired her since her time as Chief Prosecutor on International Criminal Tribunals for the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda as well as when she was the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights. She also did the investigation into sexual harassment in the military and that's just a few of her accomplishments.

What she has done so far in her lifetime is already mindboggling and yet here she is taking on yet another pivotal role in serving Canada.
