 “With candour and clarity, Lise Bissonnette
illuminates Quebecois concerns for Canadians
living in other regions of the country and
thus enhances our sense of country.” - Honourable Pat Carney «Lise Bissonnette a toujours été une inspiration comme journaliste pour la rigueur de sa pensée, la clarté de son language et la détermination de son engagement. Son intégrité et son courage moral ont toujours été exemplaires.» - Graham Fraser, Commissaire aux langues officielles “Lise is a Quebec sovereignist, but she always respects the views of others. Her records at Le Devoir and the Bibliotheque de Quebec stand for themselves.” - Norman Webster, 2007 CJF Lifetime Achievement Award recipient “She is a superb journalist, scholar and administrator. She has been recognized with no fewer than eight honorary doctorates from universities in Canada and the United States.” - Geoffrey Stevens, jury chair |
