CHAPTER XIII Tar SENATE. 1. NUMBER. N. W.T THE number of senators by the B. N. A. Act, 1867, s. 22, was limited to 72, 24 being assigned to Ontario, 24 to Quebec, 12 to Nova Scotia and 12 to New Brunswick. On the admission of British Columbia the Order in Council of the 16th May, 1871, assigned three senators to the province and thus increased the number to 75. When Prince Edward’s Island was admitted in 1878, no addition was made to the Senate, but in accordance with section 147 of the B. N. A. Act, 1867, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick were cach deprived of two senators, and the four places thus obtained were given to the newly admitted province. Mani- toba by the 83 Vic. c. 3, s. 3, had three senators assigned to it under the powers conferred on the Dominion Parliament by the Imperial Act 34 and 85 Vic. c. 28, thus bringing the number up to 78. Any doubt as to the validity of the addition of senators by the last mentioned act was set at rest by the Imperial Act 49 and 50 Vie. c. 85, which confers on the Dominion Parliament full power to make provision for the representation in the Senate of any new province or of any territory. In 1887 a Dominion Act' provided that the North- West Territories were to be represented by two senators possessing the same qualification as other senators. 1 50 gnd 51 Vie. ¢, 3.
