    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 c Senators are appointed by the Governor General on the proposal of the Prime Minister.
    4. ↑ Senators must resign after the age of 75.
