“I do feel, and feel very strongly, that in this party we have in our leader, the new Prime Minister of Canada, the kinds of qualities of leadership that we need today,” she told the House. “He is himself a man with purpose, a man who has a sense of direction. Perhaps a sense of purpose, a sense of direction, is as important as anything else. It is particularly important when we are going to have to break so many new fields of endeavour, when we are going to have to cast off old habits and ways of doing things in this country. Our Prime Minister himself wants to and will pursue policies which will, I believe, enable us to live a better and fuller life.”

Jewitt, who would go on to become the first Canadian woman to head a university (she was President of Simon Fraser University), served only one term as a Liberal MP before her defeat in the 1965 election. She later quit the Liberal party after Pierre Trudeau invoked the War Measures Act in 1970 and joined the NDP. In 1979 she was elected a NDP MP and was re-elected in 1984 and 1988. She was later invested a member of the Order of Canada. In 1992, Jewett was named to the Privy Council by Tory PM Brian Mulroney.
