This is a list of past and present Canadian senators from the province of Manitoba. Manitoba can be represented by up to six senators, but this was not always the case. Stipulated in the Manitoba Act of 1870, the province was first represented by two senators, then to increase incrementally based on population, when the population reached 75,000 it would then be represented by a maximum of four senators. The Constitution Act of 1915 added two more senate seats for Manitoba bringing the total to six. The Constitution Act of 1915 also amended Section 26 of the Constitution Act of 1867 to add a fourth regional division, called the Western provinces, made up of British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba, to allow two senators to be appointed on a regional basis. ==Current senators== Notes: 1 Party listed is the Senator's current party. 2 Senators are appointed to represent Manitoba. Each senator may choose to designate a geographic area within Manitoba as his or her division. 3 Senators are appointed by the Governor-General of Canada on the recommendation of the prime minister. 4 Johnson was appointed as one of two senators under section 26 of the Constitution Act to represent the Western provinces, under the regional expansion clause that saw the Senate increase from 104 to 112 members. 5 Division designated as Winnipeg-Interlake from to and Manitoba from to the present. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「List of Manitoba senators」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
