List of Canadian senators

This is a list of members of the Canadian Senate.

As of June 20, 2005, following the retirement of John Lynch-Staunton, there are eight vacancies in the Senate: one in British Columbia, one in Manitoba, one in New Brunswick, one in Prince Edward Island, and four in Québec.

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 considered a senator for the province at large.
