Upon the Occasion of His Investiture as a Companion of the Order of Canada, then-Governor-General Adrienne Clarkson [from 1999 to 2005] lauded Leonard Cohen's Contribution to Art, Culture, and Civilisation 24 October 2003:
"Poet, singer-songwriter, and novelist [Leonard Cohen] is one of the most popular and influential writers of his generation whose work has been critically acclaimed throughout the world and has made Canadian literature familiar to readers abroad. Images of beauty, despair, outrage, and tenderness are found in his lyrical poetry and prose, whose themes of love, loss, and loneliness touch a universal chord in us all. Known for his striking imagery and evocative descriptions of the human condition, Mr. Cohen has the distinction of creating a body of work that has remained contemporary and significant through three decades of shifting musical and aesthetic tastes. His 1992 album, _The Future_, introduced his poetic style to a new generation of listeners. In 2001, he released his twelfth album, _Ten New Songs_. It soared to the top of the charts, reaching gold and platinum sales in Canada and in several other countries. His continued popularity confirms his status as a Canadian icon and a venerated dean of the pop-culture movement."

Damn! 
I should have though about that! Marie Mazur's so complete site!
Diane, Ma'am, you have your answer, if not your picture. So that deserves a visit in my mind.
