Michaelle Jean's term will draw to a close this fall as governor general of Canada.
However, Haitian diplomats stopped short of saying they'd like to see her term renewed, but underlined her important role in bringing attention to their country and its issues.
The general of Canada, Michaelle Jean, fled the Duvalier regime as a child in the late 1960s and relocated to Quebec.
Jean is a beloved figure of success in her country of birth, and has been a high-profile champion of support and assistance for Haiti in the aftermath of January's earthquake.
