A vacant Senate seat for PEI has been filled with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s announcement Wednesday that the Governor General appointed Jane MacAdam to the upper chamber. Jane MacAdam is a Chartered Professional Accountant with over 40 years of experience in legislative auditing, including serving as the province’s Auditor General for seven years, retiring in May 2020. MacAdam was recommended by the Independent Advisory Board for Senate Appointments, and chosen using a merit-based, arms length-process.
