She is the first indigenous woman to hold the position. She speaks one of our indigenous languages, which we are very proud of.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8564944\" data-originallang=\"fr\">We expect the Governor General to continue her studies in French. Linguistic duality is at the heart of our identity as Canadians.</p>",
