Carney Reshapes Senate with Political Appointments | Ottawa News
Description
Prime Minister Carney just unveiled his first Senate appointments since taking office, shaking up the chamber with a bold move: ditching the non-partisan rule. He’s tapped longtime Liberal strategist Tom Pitfield as his principal secretary to the Senate, signaling a political shift. Also named: Conservative MP Richard Martel (Quebec), cancer researcher Dr. Rodney Ouellette (New Brunswick), and accountant Geeta Tucker (Manitoba). This lineup blends political loyalty with regional and professional diversity — and it’s already sparking debate about what this means for Canada’s upper house.
