Canadian Citizenship Practice Test 2026

Question: 1 / 1030

Who selects the Senators?

The Senate itself

The elected Assembly

The Governor General on the advice of the Prime Minister

The Governor General selects the Senators on the advice of the Prime Minister. This is known as the "Triple-E Senate" system, where E stands for equal, elected and effective representation. Under this system, the Prime Minister is responsible for recommending appointments to the Governor General, who then technically appoints the Senators to represent each province. Options A, B, and D are incorrect because the Senate is not elected, the Assembly does not choose Senators, and the Prime Minister does not directly select Senators.
