List of senators in the 38th Parliament of Canada

Last updated

This is a list of members of the Senate of Canada in the 38th Parliament of Canada.

Contents

The province of Quebec has 24 Senate divisions which are constitutionally mandated. In all other provinces, a Senate division is strictly an optional designation of the senator's own choosing, and has no real constitutional or legal standing. A senator who does not choose a special senate division is designated a senator for the province at large. [1]

Names in bold indicate senators in the 27th Canadian Ministry. [2]
