A Message from Senator McPhedran
When I was first appointed to the Senate of Canada by the Right Honourable Justin Trudeau in November 2016, I made a commitment to bring youth to the Senate and the Senate to youth.
I firmly believe that youth are essential agents of change and are not only the leaders of tomorrow but also the leaders of today. Through this internship opportunity, I hope you will have the chance to advocate, research, and explore avenues of our democracy that further your interest in our institutions while amplifying your voice.
Warmest regards,
Marilou McPhedran
Independent Senator for Manitoba
