List of Canadian Senators from New Brunswick

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The list of Canadian Senators from New Brunswick shows all past and current members of the Canadian Senate from the New Brunswick Province . The province is represented by ten senators.

The revised version of the British North America Act of 1915 created the possibility of appointing two additional senators per senatorial region. New Brunswick belongs to the region of the Maritime Provinces , which also includes Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island .

Since the accession of Prince Edward Island was delayed by several years, the four seats that this province actually belonged to were temporarily assigned to New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. After Prince Edward Island joined in 1873, the following two vacancies in New Brunswick were not replaced.

    Remarks

    1. ↑ a b c The party to which the senators last belonged is given.
    2. ↑ a b c Québec is the only province with Senate divisions that are prescribed by the constitution. In all other provinces, a division is merely an optional designation that the senator can choose himself and that has no constitutional or legal significance. A senator who does not elect a particular Senate division is considered to represent the province as a whole.
    3. ↑ a b Senators are appointed by the Governor General on the proposal of the Prime Minister.
    4. ↑ Senators must resign after the age of 75.
    5. ↑ Senators are appointed by the Governor General on the proposal of the Prime Minister. When the Senate was founded in 1867, the appointment was made directly by Queen Victoria by means of a royal proclamation.
