Global News with Jaclyn Kucey
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has announced two Albertans have been appointed to the Senate: a corporate lawyer from Calgary and a vocal advocate for LGBTQ2 rights from Edmonton. As Jaclyn Kucey reports, the announcement has already caused a stir in the provincial government.
Jaclyn Kucey: “Ron Byers has worked closely with Wells on a number of Pride initiatives.“
Ron Byers: “From Western Canada and especially from Alberta… to have someone who is within the queer community to be in the Senate is going to be amazing. And it’s going to give us so much more visible representation right across Canada.“
