OTTAWA — Veteran broadcaster Charles Adler and Saskatchewan hospital executive Tracy Muggli are Canada's latest independent senators, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced Saturday.
A news release from the prime minister's office said Adler, who will represent Manitoba, used his platform to champion human rights and Canadian democracy during his long career. Both new senators were appointed by Gov. Gen. Mary Simon after being recommended by the independent advisory board for senate appointments that was created in 2016.
The release says the board is guided by"public, transparent, non-partisan, and merit-based criteria" to recommend candidates to the prime minister, who then advises Simon.
