Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is reportedly planning to fill all 10 vacant Senate seats before stepping down from office, according to government sources. The federal government is expected to make the appointments in the coming weeks, aiming to ensure a full and functional Senate before Trudeau’s departure.
The move reflects Trudeau’s ongoing commitment to maintaining balance and representation in the Senate, a hallmark of his administration. The vacancies span multiple provinces, and the appointments are anticipated to include individuals with diverse backgrounds and expertise.
Trudeau has previously reformed the Senate appointment process, introducing a merit-based selection system. Analysts suggest this final set of appointments will align with his vision for a more independent and inclusive Senate. Further details about the appointees are expected soon.
