List of New Brunswick senators

List of New Brunswick senators

This is a list of past and present Canadian Senators from New Brunswick.

During the Quebec Conference of 1864, New Brunswick was guaranteed 10 Senate seats, but because Prince Edward Island stalled for equal representation in the upper house, New Brunswick was awarded two of Prince Edward Island's Senate seats, until 1873 when Prince Edward Island gave in and joined confederation New Brunswick dropped to 10 seats. New Brunswick kept 12 seats until the first two Senators ended their term after 1873, they were not replaced.
