text: # List of senators in the 33rd Parliament of Canada
  
  This is a list of members of the Senate of Canada in the 33rd Parliament of Canada.
  
  The province of Quebec has 24 Senate divisions which are constitutionally mandated. In all other provinces, a Senate division is strictly an optional designation of the senator's own choosing, and has no real constitutional or legal standing. A senator who does not choose a special senate division is designated a senator for the province at large.
  
  Names in bold indicate senators in the 24th Canadian Ministry.
