Jean, a journalist, is probably best known to English Canadians as the host of The Passionate Eye on CBC TV and Rough Cuts on CBC Newsworld.
But her television career was launched in Quebec where she has worked as a journalist, producer and host for the CBC's French language services, SRC and RDI, since 1988...
Jean has received many awards for her own documentary work including the Amnesty International Journalism Award, the Anik Prize and the Galaxi Award for best information program host.
Looks like a solid appointment based on the CBC summary, very much in the Clarkson mold (media-savvy more than politically involved). I suppose the big question now is whether she'll face a political meltdown in the next couple of sessions of Parliament...and whether she'll wish a politician had been given the job if that happens.
