This is a list of current members of the Canadian Senate.
As of November 1, 2006 there are ten vacancies in the Senate: one in Newfoundland and Labrador, one in New Brunswick, two in Quebec, one in Prince Edward Island, three in Nova Scotia and two in Ontario.
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.
