Canada’s newest senators: first woman to lead RCMP and Cree Metis businessman
OTTAWA — The first woman to hold the reins of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and a Cree Metis businessman are the two newest members of the Senate.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is making the appointments to fill seats in British Columbia and Saskatchewan.
Beverley Busson will take the seat in B.C. and Martin Klyne will fill the vacancy in Saskatchewan.
Busson served as commissioner of the RCMP on an interim basis in 2006, which made her the first woman to hold the position.
