Who selects the Senators in Canada?

  1. The people through direct elections

  2. The Senate itself through internal vote

  3. The Governor General on the advice of the Prime Minister

  4. The Lieutenant Governor of each province

The correct answer is: The Governor General on the advice of the Prime Minister

In Canada, the Senate is not elected directly by the people. Option A is incorrect because while Canadians do participate in the election of the House of Commons, they do not vote for the Senators. Option B is incorrect because the Senate does not select its own members, rather they are appointed by the Governor General on the advice of the Prime Minister. Option D is also incorrect because the Lieutenant Governor of each province does not have the power to select Senators.
