List of Quebec senators

This is a list of past and present members of the Senate of Canada representing the province of Quebec.

Quebec has 24 permanent Senate divisions that are fixed under section 22 of the Constitution Act, 1867, which provides that "In the Case of Quebec each of the Twenty-four Senators representing that Province shall be appointed for One of the Twenty-four Electoral Divisions of Lower Canada..." Lower Canada (later the eastern portion of the Province of Canada) was Quebec's predecessor colony.

In addition to the other qualifications for appointment to the Senate, a Quebec senator must, in accordance with subsection 23(5) of the Constitution Act, 1867, be "have his Real Property Qualification in the Electoral Division for which he is appointed, or shall be resident in that Division". In other words, the senator must either live in his or her division or own an immovable in the division worth at least $4,000 on a net basis. The Quebec senator must continue to meet this qualification to remain in office under subsection 31(5) of the Constitution Act, 1867.

In other provinces, although Senators can designate their own divisions within the province they represent, those designations do not have legal significance.

Members by Senate division

The boundaries for all Quebec districts are mandated in the Constitution Act 1867 and cannot change without a constitutional amendment. The boundaries are described in the 1859 Consolidated Statutes of Canada.^[1]

Self-designated Senate divisions can be used by senators appointed under the Regional Expansion Clause Section 26 of the Constitution Act 1867. This clause can be used to increase the Senate seats by one or two senators for each region (Ontario, Quebec, the Maritimes and the Western Provinces). Prime Minister Brian Mulroney is the only one to use this clause, on September 27, 1990.

Self-designated

These senators were appointed under a constitutional provision that allowed the number of Quebec senators to temporarily increase by one or two. As such, these senators belonged to no constitutionally-mandated division, and could designate one of their choosing.
