Supreme Court of Canada nominee Justice Michelle O'Bonsawin has spoken to a Parliamentary committee about her career and judicial philosophy, as she is set to make history as the first Indigenous person to sit on the top court.

A bilingual Franco-Ontario Abenaki from Odanak First Nation, O'Bonsawin also recounted being told as a young person, that maybe law wasn't for a girl like her -- but that only made her more determined.

Mercedes Stephenson looks at how O'Bonsawin's perspective and experiences are expected to bring much-needed change.
