Moreau has the perfect reply to your comment:

Moreau was called the bar in Alberta in 1980, and served as a lawyer for 14 years. In 1994, she was appointed a judge to the Court of King’s Bench of Alberta. She became the chief justice of the Court of King’s Bench of Alberta in 1997.

During her speech, Moreau recounted how an experience early in her career as a judge shaped her professional beliefs.

She recalled when she first started working as a judge she overheard a senior colleague commenting on her age and professional experience.

“The only reply I could muster was, ‘Well, as my dear mother used to say, the proof is in the pudding.’ And it’s been my motto ever since.”
