Blacklock’s- Adler Appointment Not Final

Broadcaster Charles Adler has not yet met legal requirements to become a Senator, authorities confirmed yesterday.

“An appointment to the Senate is made by summons from the Governor General under the Great Seal of Canada effective from the date of the writ of summons,” said Alison Korn, spokesperson for the Senate. The required legal notice typically takes two weeks from the issue of a news release.

Spokesperson Korn also confirmed under Senate Procedure And Practice no appointee may take a Senate seat without first signing the roll and taking an oath of allegiance to the King. “Yes, that is correct,” she said.

Both legal requirements must occur in person on a day when the Senate is in session. The Senate is currently on summer recess. It is scheduled to return Tuesday, September 17.
