Senators used to hold their seats for life; however, under the British North America Act, 1965 (now known as the Constitution Act, 1965), members, save for those appointed prior to the change, may not sit in the Senate after reaching the age of 75 . Prime ministers normally choose members of their own party to be senators, though they sometimes nominate independents or members of opposing parties . Some members of the Senate are ex-Cabinet ministers, former provincial officials, and other eminent people . The first Aboriginal senator was James Gladstone, who sat as an Independent Conservative . </P> <P> Under the constitution, each province or territory is entitled to a specific number of Senate seats . The constitution divides Canada into four areas, each with an equal number of senators: 24 for Ontario, 24 for Quebec, 24 for the Maritime provinces (10 each for Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, and four for Prince Edward Island), and 24 for the western provinces (six each for Manitoba, British Columbia, Saskatchewan, and Alberta). Newfoundland and Labrador, which became a province in 1949, is not assigned to any division and is represented by six senators, while the three territories (the Northwest Territories, the Yukon, and Nunavut) are allocated one senator each . Quebec senators are the only ones to be assigned to specific districts within their province . This rule was adopted to ensure that both French - and English - speakers from Quebec were represented appropriately in the Senate . </P>
