We want your voice and your issues to be heard on the floor of the Senate. Parliament is here to represent you, not one or another political party. So we are inviting Canadians to submit questions for us to ask during Senate Question Period.
It’s simple: fill out the form below, being sure to complete all of the required fields. After a Senator asks your question, we will contact you to let you know how you can listen to the recording online of both the question and the answer. Please note that as a general rule, if your question is asked the Senator will identify you in the Senate by your name and town or city. Unfortunately, due to time restrictions, we are not able to ask every question that we receive.
Thank you for your interest in submitting a question, and helping us to bring your concerns to Parliament.
