Senator Pierre Dalphond, Leader of the Progressive Senate Group (PSG), warmly welcomes Senator Danièle Henkel to the group.

“Senator Henkel is an inspiring woman whose remarkable journey commands admiration. A successful entrepreneur and a global citizen, she embodies determination, boldness, and Canada’s ability to provide everyone with the opportunity to thrive and succeed. Her commitment and energy will be invaluable assets to our group. We are delighted and proud to welcome her among us,” said Senator Dalphond.

“By choosing to sit with the Progressive Senate Group, I am joining a team whose diversity reflects that of Canada and whose values are dear to me: genuine equality between women and men, openness to the world, and the pursuit of concrete solutions for the well-being of all, with impartiality and fairness, in a spirit of listening and mutual respect. My commitment goes beyond affiliations: I intend to collaborate with all my colleagues because I believe in the power of collective action to meet the needs of Canadians and Quebecers,” said Senator Henkel.

The Progressives believe in a more independent Senate, equality amongst senators, Charter values, reconciliation, diversity, and policies directed towards sustainable, inclusive, and shared prosperity in Canada. Their organizing principle is inspired by the Algonquin/Ojibwe word “Mamidosewin,” for “Meeting place” or “Walking together.”
