Is anybody wondering why Prime Minister Martin appointed 9 new Senators when there are 16 vacant Senate seats?
There are still vacant seats in New Brunswick (1), Prince Edward Island (1), Quebec (3), Manitoba (1), and British Columbia (1) = 7 Senate seats which are still vacant…
Just wondering if anyone else thinks this is a little weird.
