List of New Brunswick senators

Template:Short description This is a list of past and present members of the Senate of Canada representing the province of New Brunswick.

During the Quebec Conference of 1864, New Brunswick was guaranteed 10 Senate seats, but because Prince Edward Island stalled for equal representation in the upper house, New Brunswick was awarded two of Prince Edward Island's Senate seats until 1873 when Prince Edward Island gave in and joined confederation New Brunswick dropped to 10 seats. New Brunswick kept 12 seats until the first two senators ended their term after 1873, they were not replaced.

Maritimes regional senators

Senators listed were appointed to represent the Maritimes under section 26 of the Constitution Act. This clause has only been used once before to appoint two extra senators to represent four regional Senate divisions: Ontario, Quebec, the Maritimes and the Western Provinces.

As vacancies open up among the normal members of the Senate, they are automatically filled by the regional senators. Regional senators may also designate themselves to a senate division in any province of their choosing in their region.
