Welcome, we are the Progressive Senators

The Progressives are a parliamentary group of like-minded Senators, united by a common set of views and a philosophy grounded in the values of liberty and equality.

We invite you to explore our website to find out about the important issues being debated and studied, and to learn more about the role of Senators and the Senate. We encourage you to share your ideas and opinions so that we may engage one another on issues that matter most to Canadians.
